Intro
RESOLUTION NO. 19958, August 20, 2018
INTRODUCED BY Dennis Waits, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the Collections Department has a continuing need for online payment processing for tax payments; and,
WHEREAS, the County’s current tax software program is antiquated and is scheduled to be replaced by updated software from the current vendor, Thomson Reuters, within the next two to three years; and,
WHEREAS, until this upgrade is complete, the current software’s online payment processing is limited by its compatibility with a single electronic payment software program, EPS5 from Sonant Corporation; and,
WHEREAS, Sonant Corporation has determined that EPS5 is outdated, and will no longer support the new processors, but EPS5 will continue to support processors that are already functional; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 1030.1, Jackson County Code, 1984, the Director of Finance and Purchasing recommends the award of a twelve-month term and supply contract with two twelve month options to extend for online payment processing services to UMB Bank of Kansas City, MO, as a sole source; and,
WHEREAS, award as a sole source is appropriate as UMB Bank, the County’s current provider of these services, is the only functional interfaced processor in the greater Kansas City, Missouri, area that provides these type of services; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that award be made as recommended by the Director of Finance and Purchasing, and that the Director be and hereby is authorized to execute for the County any documents necessary for the accomplishment of the award; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director be and hereby is authorized to make all payments, including final payment on the contract, to the extent that sufficient appropriations to the using spending agency are contained in the then current Jackson County budget.
