Recommend approval to award an annual contract for delinquent code compliance fee collection services with Professional Credit Service. This contract will be cost neutral, with Professional Credit Service receiving 23% of all funds recovered. Code Compliance will use the delinquent code compliance fee collection services to assist in cost recovery for services rendered. The vendor will collect upon all overdue accounts 60 days or less in age, and will assist in creating a process whereby delinquent accounts are strategically collected moving forward. This will be the City’s first partnership with an outside agency to assist in collecting delinquent code compliance assessment fee accounts.

The method used for this procurement was the request for proposals (RFP), which evaluates criteria in addition to cost. The proposals were evaluated based on proposer’s qualifications and experience, technical capabilities, references, fees, DBE participation, and local vendor participation.
