III. SCOPE OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS

Answers to Bidders Questions:

1. Branch Proximity

a. Does the 10-mile preference apply strictly to full-service branches, or may we rely on ATM/cash vault networks, remote-deposit capture sites, or affiliated branch networks to satisfy it?

State’s Response: This is referred to full-service branches.

b. Are there any minimum branch hours (weekday and/or weekend) required for on-campus or nearby locations?

State’s Response: There are no minimum branch hours. Normal banking hours are acceptable.

2. Remote Deposit Capture

a. Please confirm average and peak monthly volumes (item count and file size) for remote-deposit capture.

State’s Response: The college has not been using this process long so the volume will not be large. The current average is $129,508.97 monthly.

b. What percentage uplifts during high-activity periods (Aug/Sep, Jan/Feb, May/Jun) should we assume for sizing?

State’s Response: The percentage is low since we have not used the process long.

State’s Response: The college collateral is through the SC Local Government Investment Pool through the State Treasurer’s office.

State’s Response: NACHA is the preferred file format.

5. Systems Integration

State’s Response: The college is transitioning to SaaS product with Ellucian which will require API integration.

b. If so, please specify the system name and version.

State’s Response: Ellucian Banner SaaS
