2 File ID: Review Item 01 Description/Analysis Issue Detail: Staff recommends Council award a professional service agreement to KUBRA America West Inc. to provide Utility Bill Print and Payment services. The Department has an ongoing need for printing and mailing of utility bills and letters, payment by phone utilizing interactive voice recognition system, online via a vendor hosted website or with Utilities Customer Service, and electronic bill presentment. In addition, services include various payment options for customers including automatic recurring payments using an electronic check or credit card using the vendor hosted website or one-time payments using an electronic check or credit card over the phone or online using the vendor hosted website. Policy Considerations: This recommendation is in accordance with the Mayor and City Council mission to ensure a local government that is accountable, fiscally responsible, accessible, transparent, efficient, and responsive. Economic Impacts: None. Environmental Considerations: Ongoing administrative activities, such as the proposed agreement for billing and payment services, do not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and are exempt from CEQA review (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2)). Sustainability: Not Applicable. Commission/Committee Action: Not Applicable. Rationale for Recommendation: On June 30, 2017, the existing agreement to provide utility bill print, insert, mail and electronic bill presentment and payment services will expire. The recommendation from staff follows a competitive RFP process. An evaluation panel consisting of members from the Business and Integrated Planning Division of the Utilities Department, Information Technology Department and Consolidated Utility Billing and Services of Sacramento County reviewed two proposals submitted. The evaluation panel selected the proposal submitted by KUBRA America West Inc. as the top ranked proposal. KUBRA America West Inc. is the leader in providing outsourced billing, customer self-service modules and electronic and mobile bill presentment and payment solutions in the industry, with over 550 clients across North America. Following the evaluation process, City staff negotiated terms and conditions and a detailed scope of work, as set forth in the proposed agreement. Also, if the above services are interrupted, the Department may not be able to mail utility bills and letters or collect payment of various utility services fees.
