The City of Lynwood is requesting sealed proposals for the collection of delinquent accounts. All proposals must be received by the City Clerk’s Office, 11330 Bullis Road, Lynwood, California 90262, no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 4, 2013.
Proposals received after said time will not be considered. To guard against premature opening, each proposal shall be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office in a sealed envelope plainly marked with the proposal title, bidder name, and time and date of the proposal opening.
BACKGROUND
Currently, the City has approximately 1,093 uncollected accounts over 60 days totaling $264,393. Of these accounts, approximately half have been returned by the post office because customers moved with no forwarding address. In the future, we estimate that there will be an average of 20 additional accounts per month assigned to the Collection Agency, totaling about $3,500 per month. Accounts which will be sent to the Collection Agency include, but are not limited to water, sewer, trash services, damage to City property, and miscellaneous accounts receivable over 45 days old.
PURPOSE
The City of Lynwood (“the City”) is seeking proposals from interested licensed Collection Agencies to provide collection services for the City of Lynwood – Department of Finance and Administration.
The request for proposal does not obligate the City to award a contract or complete the project, and the City reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if it is considered to be in its best interest.
