Agenda 11/13/2012 Item #16C7
11/13/2012 Item 16.C.7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve an amendment in the amount of $26,900 to Contract 906 -3972 with Tele- Works, Inc., to transfer the existing delinquent water /sewer customer account courtesy calling system to a hosted environment. OBJECTIVE: Transfer the Utility Billing and Customer Service Department's existing Tele- Works, Inc., (TWI) eVision server -based delinquent water /sewer customer account courtesy call system to a hosted environment: TWI's Automated Outbound Delinquency Campaign Management application. CONSIDERATIONS: The server for the current system is a non - standard server residing on the County Manager Agency's data network. This server has reached the end of its contracted TWI maintenance service life. Instead of replacing the server hardware, the project management team recommends moving this application to a hosted environment. This will eliminate the need to replace the existing server, provide additional functionality to the system, and improve utility collection rates. These features will enable automated calls to customers with delinquent accounts, including the service location of the delinquent account. and will call all accounts with a past due balance. The hosted Automated Outbound Delinquency Campaign Management environment eliminates the need to replace the existing server and has the following additional functionality: • Text to speech capability • Automated call scheduling • Ability to identify the service location of the delinquent account • Will call all accounts with a past due balance, even if multiple accounts are owned by the same person. The existing delinquent water /sewer account courtesy call system calls customers with a past due balance greater than $5.00 as a courtesy to remind them that payment has not been received. During each outbound call cycle, the system makes three attempts to reach each customer and calls approximately 34,000 customers per year. The process is as follows: • Monthly bills are delinquent 20 days past the bill statement date • The billing system (Harris inHANCE) generates calling lists based on days outstanding • The customer with a delinquent balance automatically receives a courtesy call (three call attempts) 20 days past the due date (40 days from the bill statement date) • If the outstanding balance is not paid, the customer receives a second courtesy call (three attempts) 30 days past the due date (50 days from the bill statement date) • If the outstanding balance is not paid, the water service is discontinued (meter locked) approximately 52 days from the bill statement date. Packet Page -1999- 11/13/2012 Item 16.C.7. The current system is no longer supported; should it fail, the utility will no longer be able to process automated courtesy calls. In accordance with the Collier County Water -Sewer District Uniform Billing, Operating and Regulatory Standards Ordinance, Ordinance No. 2001 -73, service is discontinued when an account is delinquent for non- payinent of bills. Implementation costs are as follows. 3Ac>dq� b ..x �. Cost . � : .
