This contract provides Sedgwick County with professional check‑collection services for returned (NSF) checks across multiple county departments. The County handles initial processing and notification, then transfers each case electronically to the vendor, who must contact debtors within seven days and continue weekly attempts for twelve weeks, reporting results and handling any litigation at the vendor’s expense. The fee structure is a per‑check charge ($30 per check, with the vendor retaining $20) plus a share of any interest or civil damages recovered. The agreement runs for a two‑year base term with two one‑year renewal options, and the award was made to RECHECK, Inc. after an open competition that attracted 35 invited firms.
• Scope: electronic case transfer, debtor contact, weekly follow‑up, monthly reporting, and optional litigation.
