The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive banking services by the City. The document outlines the requirements and information that potential offerors need to provide in their proposals.
The document begins by requesting general information about the company, including an overview, history, number of years in business, number of employees, headquarters location, type of business, and names of chief officers. Offerors are also asked to provide information about their staff members who would be involved in providing the requested services, including their qualifications and experience with similar projects.
The document then asks for details about the offeror's experience in providing similar services for customers of similar size, including references from current clients. It also asks if the company is currently involved in arbitration or litigation, or if it has filed for bankruptcy in the past.
Next, the document asks for information about any subcontracting that the offeror intends to do, including the names and qualifications of proposed subcontractors. It also asks for any special knowledge or skills that the offeror's firm can provide related to the requested services.
The document then provides a list of specific information and materials that offerors need to include in their proposals. This includes completing proposal forms, providing sample bank statements and balance reporting information, describing sweep accounts and rates, offering services for check reconciliation and electronic fund transfers, describing safekeeping services and managing deposits collected by an armored carrier service, and explaining how service requests for various items are handled.
The document also asks for information about the offeror's lockbox operation, whether they use a separate data processing company, any optional banking services they can offer, their emergency plan in case of a catastrophe, and any exceptions they have to the RFP or sample agreement.
Lastly, the document asks offerors to provide information about their measures to minimize adverse environmental impact, their ability to accept electronic payments, and their compliance with the City's ethical standards. The document includes a representation regarding ethical standards that offerors need to include in their proposals. Additionally, the document specifies that suppliers are not allowed to offer items to City employees, ensuring a fair and unbiased selection process.
