This is a vendor onboarding notice issued by Marion County, Florida in connection with the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) solicitation for the Ocala Marion Transportation Planning Organization (TPO). The notice informs vendors that Marion County utilizes PaymentWorks, a secure vendor portal, to onboard vendors and manage payments. Vendors may receive invitation emails from PaymentWorks on behalf of Marion County, which are legitimate requests. The contract opportunity for which this notice is issued involves selecting a qualified organization to serve as the Community Transportation Coordinator for Marion County's Transportation Disadvantaged system under Chapter 427, Florida Statutes. The selected contractor will coordinate the administration and operation of the system as designated by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. The resulting contract will have an initial term of four and one-half (4.5) years, subject to approval by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged and successful execution of a Memorandum of Agreement.

PaymentWorks enables vendors to securely provide and manage business and banking information, reduce errors and duplicate records, and update information at any time. During registration, vendors can select payment via ACH (Direct Deposit), which is faster and more secure, or by check if preferred. Existing vendors who have previously done business with Marion County are not required to register to continue business; however, any updates to company information including address, email, and banking details must be completed through PaymentWorks. Registration delays or failure to update information may result in payment delays. Vendors with questions regarding PaymentWorks can contact PaymentWorks Support at https://help.paymentworks.com/contactsupport or Marion County Procurement at Procurement@MarionFL.org. PaymentWorks registration is strongly encouraged to ensure timely receipt of payments.
