Piggyback Contract

Description

The City of East Providence is seeking to partner with a qualified company that operates community gift card programs. The City’s goal is to develop a program that will load and distribute prepaid gift cards to every household in the City’s low-moderate income census tracts (approximately 8,071 households). These gift cards will be eligible to use at registered small businesses throughout the City of East Providence in order to help businesses recover from the effects of the closure of the westbound side of the Washington Bridge.
