Title
Consider Approval Of The Purchase Of A Payment Kiosk And Related Services From AdComp Systems Group For An Annual Amount Not To Exceed $49,900.00.

BACKGROUND:
In 2014, the City implemented a payment kiosk at the Municipal Court building.

Staff believes this drive up location will enhance the customer service experience and increase use of the kiosk.

The estimated costs of the second kiosk are comprised of the following:
* One-time interface programming costs - AdComp $15,100
* One-time site preparation costs $11,700
* Recurring annual software interface - Sungard $ 3,600
* Recurring kiosk annual software maintenance - AdComp $ 2,900
* Recurring kiosk service fees maximum capped costs - AdComp $47,000
The recurring kiosk service fees are transactions fees based on type of payment. The vendor has agreed to a capped annual maximum on these fees of $47,000. The actual costs may be less depending on transaction volumes.
This second kiosk will accept both utility bill and municipal court fine payments. For utility billing payments, this kiosk will replace the current night drop boxes and will allow payments to be processed electronicall...
