City of Grand Island Credit Card Purchasing Program

Council Agenda Memo
From:Jaye Monter, Finance Director
Meeting:July 1, 2014
Subject:RFP-Credit Card Purchasing Program
Item #’s:1
Presenter(s):Jaye Monter, Finance Director
William Clingman, Senior Accountant
Background
In 2003, the City established its first City Credit Card Program for city purchases. The
department issued credit cards were intended to be used for small purchases and
convenience of employee required travel. The current credit card program has become
cumbersome and obsolete. The current credit card program also does not utilize the
spending power of the City or provide the City with a rebate that is commonplace with
many large scale credit card programs.
A request for proposals (RFP) was sent out in March of this year in search of a new City
of Grand Island Credit Card Program. The City received 10 responses and the selection
committee invited three for in-depth demonstrations. The selection committee brought
forward the recommendation to the department directors the Bank of America Credit
Card Program.
Discussion
Every year the City of Grand Island pays over $100 million to outside vendors. By
switching to the proposed credit card program and capturing even 10% of that spending
would provide the City with an estimated $170,000 in rebate or cash back.
Conclusion
This item is presented to the City Council in a Study Session to allow for any questions to
be answered and to create a greater understanding of the issue at hand.
It is the intent of City Administration to bring this issue to a future council meeting for
Council consideration.
