Rowan County uses Tyler Technologies software to handle many of our financial, human resources, and tax needs. The County would like to enter into an agreement with Tyler Technologies to handle our online payments at the tax collectors office and some other departments. This product will be at no cost to the County but the customer who decides to pay online will have a $2.95 cost per transaction. This is a slight increase from our current fee of $2.60. This contract would be approved as a 'sole-source' using standardization or compatibility as the overriding consideration per NCGS 143- l 29(e)(6) which allows for an exception to the bidding laws when:
1. Performance or price competition for a product are not available;
2. A needed product is available from only one source of supply; or
3. Standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration
Attached is a quote from Tyler Technologies.
Board of Commissions to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract with Tyler Technologies for online payment processing with the cost per transaction to the customer of $2.95.
