Title
Approval of contract renewal with Municipal Code for Water & Sewer Billing for an additional three years
Body
On April 14, 2013, the City contract with Municipal Code for printing and mailing the utility statements comes up for renewal. Municipal Code has 2 options. The first option is to auto-renew year by year. The second option is for a 3 year renewal. Neither option will incur a price increase.
The water & sewer department utilizes this company to print and mail the utility bills at a reasonable cost to the City. There are three (3) billings per month. With outsourcing, this saves approximately three to five full business days that would normally be spent completing the billing process. This time savings allows our City employees to focus more on customer service. Also, the need for additional equipment is eliminated.
The Customer & Accounting Department would like to recommend that the City accept the 2nd option and renew the contract with Municipal Code for an additional 3 years.
