About this file
This is a vendor outreach email from Sarasota County, Florida's Procurement and Contracts Specialist regarding an upcoming Request for Proposals for utility bill printing and mailing services. The County anticipates an initial contract term of three years and seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive design, processing, printing, insertion, and mailing of utility customer account statements. The scope includes approximately 12 weeks of setup activities encompassing kickoff meetings, file transmission system installation, software development, billing statement design, and staff training. The contractor must deliver a 24/7 web portal enabling customer access to bill documents, document proofing, real-time job tracking, mail tracking, and email bill delivery capabilities. Printing requirements include utility statements on white bond paper, delinquent account letters on pink paper, and various notices and inserts, with mailing services to be completed within 24 to 72 hours of file receipt using USPS bulk mail processing. The solicitation was released on the OpenGov Procurement platform with a proposal due date of April 6, 2026, and questions must be submitted through the OpenGov Procurement Q&A portal.
The outreach email was sent on February 24, 2026, to eight known potential qualified service providers prior to public posting. Proposers must demonstrate prior experience providing revenue billing services for governmental entities of comparable size and complexity to Sarasota County and preferably possess integration experience with the UMAX Customer Information System. The contractor must maintain a redundancy site capable of redirecting and resuming all services and provide insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Business Automobile Liability, and Cyber Liability. The contract is funded through grant funding, which precludes local and American business preference considerations and set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendor was identified in the solicitation documents. All equipment, labor, materials, supplies, and software licensing must be furnished by the contractor, with compensation structured as hourly rates and detailed direct expense costs to be provided by responding contractors. Short-listed proposers will be required to participate in presentations or interviews at the County's discretion. No specific budget or award value range was disclosed in available solicitation documents.
