PROPOSAL OBJECTIVES. The banking services described in this RFA are directed toward five (5) major goals: • To seek an institution that is capable of providing banking services as required while maintaining the safety and security of the City’s financial resources; • To maximize the total dollars earned by the City on account balances in order to be prudent and effective custodians of financial resources; • To cost efficiently compensate the Depository for services provided while remaining subject to competitive forces in the market place; • To develop and maintain a good working relationship with the Depository; and • To fully comply with the requirements of the Texas Local Government Code Chapter 105, as amended. As a public entity, the safety of the funds and assets of the City is paramount. The use of technology to minimize manual or time-consuming operations is a continuing effort and the successful applicant will be expected to bring new ideas and technologies to the City’s attention throughout the contract period. The City intends to earn the best reasonable yield on its funds in all time or demand accounts. The City requires the Depository to be fiscally strong and able to provide the required services on an uninterrupted basis. City funds are public funds and all under provisions of the Public Funds Investment Act and the Public Funds Collateral Act (Texas Government Code Chapters 2256 and 2257) and are further restricted by the City’s Investment Policy. The selection of a depository by the City is further governed by Chapter 105 of the Texas Local Government Code.
PROPOSAL OBJECTIVES. One of the objectives of this RFP is to make proposal preparation easy and efficient while giving Offerors ample opportunity to highlight their proposals. The evaluation process must also be manageable and effective. Proposals shall be prepared straightforwardly and concisely, in a format that is reasonably considered and appropriate for the purpose. Emphasis will be on completeness and clarity and content. When an Offeror submits a proposal, it shall be considered a complete plan for accomplishing the tasks described in this RFP and any supplemental tasks the Offeror has identified as necessary to successfully complete the obligations outlined in this RFP. The proposal shall describe in detail the Offeror’s ability and availability of services to meet the goals and objectives of this RFP.
