About this file

This is a Price Proposal Form and Fee Schedule for the City of New Haven, Connecticut's Citywide Payment Modernization, Mobile Wireless Payment Systems, Unified Cash Management, and Treasury Integration project. The City seeks to replace fragmented, department-specific payment systems with a unified, standardized platform capable of supporting all municipal payment operations. The system must support mobile wireless payment acceptance via handheld devices, digital wallets (Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle if possible), ACH, wires, and all major credit cards. Required functionality includes text-to-pay capabilities, secure mobile communication, treasury-level reporting and financial reconciliation, and mandatory integration with the Munis ERP platform and other existing systems.

Vendors must propose a single, flat universal transaction fee of 2.5% or less for all payment types, including credit and debit cards and digital wallets, with no tiered or "non-qualified" pricing structures permitted. All backend costs—including processor fees, gateway fees, network assessments, software licensing, hosting, PCI compliance, and tokenization services—must be included in the proposed transaction fee. Vendors must also detail any hardware costs for mobile and office use, one-time implementation and integration costs (particularly for Munis ERP setup), training expenses, and any recurring software or support fees, though such recurring fees should be covered under the all-inclusive transaction fee model. The City explicitly prohibits hidden fees and requires vendors to certify that all pricing is complete and transparent, with blank cells on the proposal form prohibited.
