If a billing company is used, please provide the vendor partner's name. What billing software/platform is utilized? A1: The City currently utilizes the billing company, EmergiFire for Fire Billing. We use ImageTrend for inspections. Submitted: 5/8/2026 04:06:39 PM (CT) Q2: Will pricing be evaluated separately by account category, or as a single blended rate? For clarification; it is often difficult to collect on secondary placement accounts (accounts that have already been attempted on), over first placements (accounts that have not been attempted yet). A separate pricing structure would mean a lower rate for primary placements, which will likely be collected more frequently. A2: It is the City's intent to evaluate cost on percentage for accounts <180 days and >180 days in collection. Submitted: 4/28/2026 11:20:32 AM (CT) Q3: Does the City assess interest on delinquent balances? A3: No. Utility Billing does not assess interest on delinquent balances. Submitted: 4/28/2026 11:11:41 AM (CT) Q4: Does the City currently assess late fees, penalties, or administrative charges to delinquent accounts prior to placement? A4: Yes. Utility Billing currently assesses a late payment penalty prior to collections placement. A ten percent (10%) penalty is added to accounts with a minimum current bill balance of $15.00 on the day after the due date. Submitted: 4/28/2026 11:11:19 AM (CT) Q5: What recovery or liquidation rates have been achieved on these accounts over the past 12 months? A5: The net liquidation/recovery rate reflected for Utility Billing accounts is 26.37% based on the 24-month net liquidity. A separate 12-month recovery/liquidation rate would require an additional report or confirmation from the incumbent vendor. Submitted: 4/28/2026 11:10:57 AM (CT)
