REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS
COMMITTEE, A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ISSUANCE OF A
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION OF CITYWIDE AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES AT
VARIOUS CITY-OWNED PROPERTIES AND FACILITIES, APPROVED
BY THE CITY COMMISSION ON MARCH 21, 2012
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Refer the matter to the Finance & Citywide Projects Committee for discussion.
BACKGROUND
On March 21, 2012, the City Commission approved the issuance of a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to establish a contract for the installation, operation, maintenance, and management of
automated teller machines (ATMs) to be located at various City-owned properties and facilities.
The issuance and purpose of the RFP was intended to provide a service to the public while
generating revenue for the City. At that time, 20 locations were identified, subject to further City
approvals.
The Administration has concerns about proceeding with an RFP for A TM services and believes
that an Industry or Peer Review process should be conducted prior to the issuance of an RFP.
Several factors should be taken into consideration, such as rapidly occurring advances which
have enabled commercial operators to accept debit cards, and which have facilitated the
installation of debit card readers on most vending machines and in parking facilities. Prior to
issuing the RFP, the City should also more closely consider industry standards and suitable
locations for the ATM machines. ATM operators are trending towards generating a majority of
their revenues from advertising and are therefore seeking highly visible locations.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the matter to the
Finance & Citywide Projects Committee for discussion and further direction regarding the
feasibility of ATM machines.
