FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR A CONTRACT FOR PROCUREMENT CARD
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for a contract for procurement card
services with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
FUNDING SOURCE: The action will have no material effect on City funds.
BACKGROUND: The program's primary objectives are to achieve administrative savings
associated with an online electronic small -purchase
billing/payment/management system to consolidate and enhance data
collection and reporting, and to realize volume -based rebates. The ease of
processing the monthly billing makes it less expensive to process than
payments by check.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with the City of Fort Worth, Texas, as allowed by Texas Local
Government Code, Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter
791. The contract is for an initial two-year period with two optional two-
year renewals. If approved, this will be the final renewal available.
RFP's (Request For Proposals) were received by the City of Fort Worth,
Texas for purchasing card services and an award was made to JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. on June 22, 2021. The City has utilized JPMorgan
Chase Bank for procurement card services for the last eight years with
positive results. Purchasing and Fiscal Services staff reviewed the
contract for specification compliance and pricing and determined that this
contract would provide the best service for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
