A Resolution of the City of Sunrise, Florida, approving an “Elavon Master Services Agreement” and a “Level III Processing Addendum” with Elavon, Inc.; approving a “Commerce SDK License Agreement” and a “Government Entity Addendum to the Commerce SDK License Agreement,” with Elavon, Inc.; approving a “Products and Services Agreement” with Bridgepay Network Solutions, LLC; and providing an effective date. City Manager Richard Salamon. Wendy Dunbar, Finance and Administrative Services Director.

The City currently accepts credit and debit cards at nine on-site locations, on the City’s website and through an interactive voice response telephone system utilizing Elavon, Inc. merchant services for credit card, debit card and e-check processing.  At this time, the City is transitioning to a new Tyler Munis financial software system for Utility Billing, Community Development services, and other payment processing. In order for the new financial system to be fully functional and for secure credit card processing and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, a new credit card gateway vendor must be utilized in concert with Elavon for merchant services.

BridgePay Network Solutions, LLC is the only Tyler Munis preferred gateway vendor that will work with the City’s existing merchant services provider, Elavon, to deliver a seamless transition with full integration to the new applications.  The City will incur a $0.10 charge per transaction for utilization of the new gateway, BridgePay. 

In order for the City to be fully integrated with the new system and to maintain secure credit card processing and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, a Tyler Munis preferred gateway vendor must be utilized.  It is requested that the City Commission waive the City’s formal bidding procedures for good cause pursuant to Section 5-173(c)(5) of the Code of Sunrise, Florida.
