About this file

This is a Cost Proposal attachment for RFP 2026-P16 issued by a Texas county for Tax Assessor-Collector Credit Card Processing Services. The proposal requires vendors to submit comprehensive pricing for implementation services, transaction processing, and ancillary fees associated with a credit card processing solution. The cost proposal must include set-up and integration fees, implementation service costs covering configuration, customization, and training, hardware costs per device, professional service costs, and transaction fees for multiple payment types including online credit card, in-person credit card, in-person PIN debit, and e-check validation. Vendors must provide firm and fixed pricing based on the described functionality, clearly indicating whether each cost is one-time, annual, or other frequency, and must specify settlement time in hours for each transaction type.

The County requires all pricing to be submitted on a standardized cost worksheet with separate line items for each solution component and any modifications. All travel and expense costs must be included in the fixed price, with the County bearing no separate expense reimbursement obligations. Vendors must describe the basis of calculation for all fees and may offer value-added services at additional cost or no charge. The proposal must clearly indicate items provided at no charge as "no charge" and items not included as "No Bid." Proposers are required to submit their standard travel and expense policy and document any exceptions to proposal items. The submission requires authorization certification that the bid was prepared without collusion and that its contents were not communicated to other bidders prior to the official bid opening.
