Agenda 06/26/2018 Item #16E106/26/2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to award Request for Proposal #18-7263 for Visa Commercial Card Services with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., for Collier County’s Purchasing Card Program and authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Agreement. OBJECTIVE: To provide an alternate method of payment to promote efficiency and ensure continuity of operations. CONSIDERATIONS: In 1998, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Procurement Services Division to implement the Purchasing Card (P-Card) Program. The Collier County P-Card is an actual credit card used for legitimate public purchases and billed directly to Collier County for payment. It is a payment method designed to lower the transaction cost of obtaining small dollar goods; improve delivery times and efficiency for the cardholder; provide excellent controls through data management; improve supplier relationships; provide rebate program revenue; and provide flexibility to the divisions in performing their day to day operations. The overall management and operations of the County’s P-Card program falls under the Procurement Services Director. The P-Card is assigned to specific employees to transact purchases in accordance with the Procurement Ordinance, the Procurement Manual, the P-Card Manual and CMA 5808. On November 22, 2017, the Procurement Services Division released Request for Proposal 18-7263 to 387 vendors. Twenty-eight (28) bid packages were downloaded, and four (4) proposals were received by the due date of January 18, 2018. A selection committee convened on March 6, 2018 and recommended award to JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as shown by the below rankings. The Procurement Services Division concurs with the selection committee’s recommendation. The County currently holds an agreement (#16-7036) with Sun Trust Bank for these services, which will remain valid and utilized concurrently with this new award to allow a smooth transition period, as the replacement cards are issued and activated. Staff will seek BCC authorization to terminate the contract with Sun Trust Bank at the conclusion of the transition. FISCAL IMPACT: The current P-Card program spend in FY 2017 was approximately $2.87 million, consisting of 10,800 transactions, with 342 active card holders. This resulted in app roximately $36,000 in rebates to the County. Operating Divisions have accounted for expenses in their budgets for the procurement of goods and services. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for Board approval. -SRT GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this action. RECOMMENDATION: To award the County’s P-Card Services to JP Morgan Chase, N.A. and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement. 06/26/2018 Prepared by: Cat Bigelow, Procurement Operations Manager, Procurement Services ATTACHMENT(S) 1.

We can offer the County superior worldwide card acceptance levels. Our commercial cards are accepted at millions of vendor locations around the world, including more than 8 million in the United States alone. These high acceptance levels will assist your organization in capturing additional card spend, which can result in an increased rebate. Your cardholders will also benefit from the Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 8 flexibility, confidence, and peace of mind that comes with knowing that wherever they travel, they will be able to conduct business transactions with ease. The following table provides global acceptance statistics for our commercial cards: Global Acceptance Location Visa Africa/Middle East 3,124,941 Asia/Pacific 9,742,543 Europe 12,428,569 Latin America 8,572,803 Canada 972,385 United States 8,993,790 Worldwide 43,835,031 Although this data is believed to be accurate, it has not been audited or independently verified. In some cases, the reported number of locations may be higher due to multiple counting of the same outlet by different acquiring members. • Do you have the ability to restrict spending to preferred suppliers? Please describe. Merchant blocking occurs at the merchant category code (MCC) level. Card limits can be set by MCC, which blocks use at all unapproved merchant types. Several profiles of MCC blocking can be configured, giving different parts of the County’s structure their own set of MCC blocks. You can leverage up to 180 MCCs per group in as many as nine MCC groups, each of which can have a custom name applied for your internal purposes. Collier County can specify acceptable and restricted merchant types and set restrictions for individual cardholders, departments or the entire organization. Available limits include daily number of transactions, daily spend amount and monthly number of transactions. We can also place boundaries by MCC group to determine how much a cardholder can spend at a group of merchants. This MCC group limitation can be restricted by daily number of transactions, transaction amount and monthly spend. The County will also be able to create sub- restrictions or sub-limits for major merchants that have their own unique MCC. • Describe your company’s initiative toward incorporating merchants/suppliers that do not currently accept the purchasing card. J.P. Morgan’s Merchant Services can develop an enrollment plan specifically tailored to the County’s vendor base. Merchant Services will evaluate all of your vendors for participation in your commercial card program, whether or not they Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 9 currently accept cards as a form of payment. The team will speak to your vendors to understand how they are currently handling payments and then educate them about ways to reduce their current cost of card acceptance and/or begin reaping the benefits of card payments rather than a purchase order process. There are three main steps for vendor enrollment: • Determine Participating Vendors: Merchant Services will ask the County to identify strategic vendors to be included in your commercial card program. Typically, selection is based on the following factors: preferred merchants and negotiated pricing, existing blanket orders, buying consortiums for certain commodity purchases, and anticipated commercial card spend. • Conduct a Campaign to Promote Card Acceptance at Targeted Vendors: The most successful enrollment campaigns use existing buying relationships as leverage (what we call an endorsed campaign). Merchant Services will collaborate with the County to launch a marketing/calling campaign to key merchants to promote acceptance of your commercial cards. • Enroll Vendors: Merchant Services will contact your designated vendors and work to engage them in a processing contract. (An existing J.P. Morgan banking relationship is not required.) Sourcing and Supplier Strategy We will work with the County to segment your suppliers in order to secure buy-in. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 10 • Describe how your organization handles supplier education and on-going management. As part of J.P. Morgan’s consultative approach to client management, we establish an ongoing calendar of activities that includes regular detailed program review meetings with key personnel. At minimum, these sessions are conducted biannually in order to provide a comprehensive update on current programs and compare practices with industry standards. These sessions are also a venue for J.P. Morgan to gather input on our performance and help ensure that the relationship is focused on prudent and effective utilization of our suite of payment products, full contract optimization, and long-term success. Campaign Management The J.P. Morgan Client Campaign Management team applies effective strategies to convert targeted suppliers from their current payment type to rebate- generating plastic and/or virtual card payments. Campaign management at-a-glance The Client Campaign Management process will run concurrently with program implementation. Campaign Management Features and Benefits • Campaign Management services are provided at no additional charge • A collaborative working relationship focused on your objectives Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 11 • Dedicated resource for supplier outreach, program education and acceptance • More than 10 years of experience identifying and on-boarding suppliers • Statistics-driven supplier recruitment forecasts applied to the targeted vendor list • Pre-developed supplier communication templates to meet client needs • Ongoing support, tracking and communication of supplier outreach results within campaign duration Campaign Management Process Timeline A typical Client Campaign Management engagement takes approximately 20 weeks to complete (including preparation and campaign time), but may be shorter or longer based on your level of engagement. Client Campaign Management Process We will provide the County with a dedicated campaign manager who will: • Guide you through the process of supplier enablement • Analyze your supplier base to identify recruiting targets and prepare campaign communication • Execute a recruiting campaign to optimize supplier adoption Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 12 Client Campaign Management Process Campaign Management Process Details Supplier Analysis The J.P. Morgan Performance Analytics team will review, analyze and segment the County’s vendor (AP) data to determine each supplier’s likelihood of converting payments. Applying informed analytics, experience and proven methodologies, we’re able to identify suppliers who would be the most receptive targets for your campaign. Strategy Development A Campaign Manager will meet with the County to understand your preferences (for example, you may prefer to contact strategic suppliers directly rather than through J.P. Morgan) and to acquire your supplier information. Comprehensive supplier data is critical to the success of our campaigns and the more insight you can provide the Campaign Manager about your suppliers, the smoother the campaign process is likely to be. Campaign Preparation Your Campaign Manager will work closely to guide you through a successful supplier campaign. During this stage, he or she will address program requirements and introduce proven methodologies to encourage card acceptance. In addition, your campaign manager will cover topics that should be Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 13 communicated to your internal stakeholders to help educate and prepare County- impacted resources. Supplier Recruitment Collier County’s Campaign Manager will provide you with your targeted supplier list, project timeline, and communication templates to be used when contacting your suppliers. Upon approval of these key deliverables, the Recruitment Specialists will begin contacting your suppliers. Recruitment Specialists • Coordinate supplier outreach efforts with Campaign Manager • Conduct supplier outreach • Update campaign tracking tools During the campaign, your Campaign Manager will provide you with a detailed report, tracking overall effort and progress that will be reviewed during weekly conference calls. These calls also serve as an opportunity to resolve issues that may arise (e.g., incorrect supplier information). In complement to the scheduled calls, your Campaign Manager will be available to provide consultative support on an ongoing basis as needed. As suppliers confirm acceptance of card payments, the County can update your accounts payable information in SAP to reflect the new payment type, enter the email address or addresses for payment notification delivery (when applicable) and begin paying those suppliers via card. • Describe the spending control and spending limit options available on purchasing card accounts. Our proprietary PaymentNet system enables the County to efficiently manage all aspects of your commercial card program, from policy adherence tracking and spend control to real-time adjustments of credit limits and other account parameters. Unlike other management software, PaymentNet provides a consolidated platform for all card-related needs, creating a uniform and consistent user experience. J.P. Morgan’s programs offer numerous card controls and key administrative features such as full hierarchy support, real-time adjustments of spend controls online, and denial at the point of sale for transactions that do not meet your requirements. The County’s program administrator can establish dollar, transaction, merchant category code (MCC), and cash advance limits at any level of your hierarchy: by individual, by department or for your entire organization. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 14 Control Options by Hierarchy Level PaymentNet provides a variety of controls for every level of your organizational hierarchy. Standard controls available for our commercial cards include: • Dollar limits: Dollar limit controls include cycle spend, transaction amount, daily spend amount, monthly spend, and spend limits by MCC. • Transaction limits: Limits can be placed on the number of transactions allowed per day and per month. • MCC restrictions: PaymentNet makes it easy to adjust MCC-based dollar limits, transaction limits, and transactions allowed per day. • Cash advance controls: Our program gives the County the ability to control monthly cash advance amounts and restrict cash advances entirely. • Describe all liability options available or associated with a purchasing card. As an industry best practice, J.P. Morgan offers only corporate liability for our purchasing card program. Under corporate liability, Collier County is liable for all charges made to an individual cardholder’s account and maintains sole responsibility for payment. To protect you from employee misuse of your commercial cards, J.P. Morgan offers a liability waiver program through Visa that will reimburse the County for inappropriate expenditures made on a card, provided that certain conditions are met. • Provide your company’s fraud and theft preventive measures that help prevent financial exposure from card account abuse for your customers. Our fraud screening process is designed to protect our clients from fraud losses. Our communication process makes sure that the right person is contacted when we suspect fraud. We provide fraud screening 24/7/365. As a result, fraud statistics for our commercial card programs are well below the industry average and a far lower rate than the fraud associated with consumer cards. This low fraud rate speaks to the strength of our fraud prevention practices, as well as our relationships with clients in establishing effective card controls. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 15 Fraud Screening Our team of experienced fraud prevention analysts uses specialized screening tools to constantly monitor transactions for suspicious activity and to aid in detecting fraud and minimizing losses. Our fraud detection systems are flexible and have the ability to target both general and specific fraud trends. Criteria or rules are defined based on analysis of data from current fraud trends: • Fraud patterns • Specific or high-risk Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) • Dollar amounts and cash advances • Geographic location • Specific merchants and unusual purchases such as jewelry or electronics Our screening process uses several indicators (including the trends listed above) to identify possible fraud. Suspicious transactions are further identified based on details that include the authorization type, merchant type, location of recent fraud trends, account history, expiration date entered, and decline reason. If authorizations meet these pre-defined criteria, the account is sent to a fraud handling queue or blocked for referral. Our Fraud Prevention team is available to provide a detailed walkthrough to the County’s executives and program administrators explaining fraud performance in depth. This information includes collaboration with your program administrators to identify and implement ongoing improvements. Communication Process When a potentially fraudulent transaction is identified, a fraud analyst will evaluate the account’s history and activity. If fraud is still suspected, the analyst will contact the cardholder to confirm card possession, verify the cardholder’s two security identifiers on file, and validate the transaction(s). Depending on the circumstances, we may continue to monitor the account for suspicious charges or suspend it temporarily to minimize potential fraud losses. If we suspect employee misuse of funds, we will contact the County’s program administrator directly. Under most circumstances, a call is placed to the cardholder at the telephone number(s) on file, with messages left if contact cannot be made. After the first attempt, we will call the cardholder at both phone numbers and leave messages, as well as email the cardholder if it is after normal calling hours and an email address is available. If we are unsuccessful in reaching the cardholder after three attempts or if the phone number(s) on file is invalid, we will place a hold on the card and reach out to your program administrator. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 16 Process Flow for Identifying and Communicating Fraud These steps help to mitigate fraud losses. Additional Fraud Protection We offer clients our third-party fraud waiver and Visa’s liability waiver for employee fraud to complement our fraud screening. Due to the sensitive nature of fraudulent transactions, we require that fraud be reported by phone to an expert in our Fraud Prevention department. Reporting fraud by phone makes sure that all fraudulent transactions are identified as soon as possible. The card will be blocked and no further transactions can be processed, immediately stopping fraud attempts. There are also systematic processes to provide for timeliness of opening and resolving a fraud case, as well as requirements put in place by Visa. In most cases, we can provide a complete resolution in one call, which avoids multiple call-back attempts and saves time on resolving any open issues. Cardholders can report fraud by calling the number on the back of their card or the direct fraud line at (888) 307-2990. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 17 • How do you ensure that Collier County is protected from unauthorized charges? J.P. Morgan offers the Visa Liability Waiver program to protect the County from employee misuse of funds. This program waives certain charges, helps minimize losses and includes the following benefits: • Coverage of up to $100,000 per cardholder • Automatic enrollment • No deductible, no extra cost and no maximum cap • Coverage of cash advances, officers and ghost accounts • Simplified claim procedures Other coverage includes: • Charges incurred that do not benefit the County directly or indirectly, or benefit you when the cardholder was reimbursed for those charges and failed to pay • Charges that are the responsibility of the County and/or cardholder for payment As a condition of this program, the cardholder’s employment must be terminated. Eligible charges are those incurred by the cardholder 75 days prior to termination and up to 14 days after termination. We must be notified immediately to deliver the vital safeguards that enable you to provide purchasing cards to employees with security and confidence. We provide fraud protection coverage for: • Lost/stolen cards • Counterfeit cards • Skimmed cards • Unauthorized Internet transactions • Merchant disputes Because a disputed charge will not necessarily be caused by fraud, such transactions are handled through our dispute program. We have a dedicated Commercial Card Disputes team that works alongside our Fraud Prevention and Recovery groups. We provide necessary attention and resolution in each instance. An important step in managing the County’s liability is to make sure your purchasing card policy clearly states that all charges must be business related. Your implementation project manager will work with you to establish acceptable card policies to help prevent misuse among your cardholders. Effective policies Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 18 supported by senior management can help sell the importance of responsibility when using cards. Furthermore, credit limits and controls, established and adjusted through PaymentNet, will aid in limiting the County’s liability. Additional means of managing liability include: • Providing proper employee termination notice to J.P. Morgan. • Establishing clear purchasing policies to limit unauthorized spending. • Limiting issuance of cards to any cardholders with a history of misuse. Collier County’s program administrators will be given a direct telephone extension to reach our Fraud Prevention group. Once contacted, a fraud analyst will evaluate the account’s history and activity and then contact the cardholder to verify purchase validity and card possession. Depending on the circumstances, the account may continue to be monitored for suspicious charges or temporarily suspended to minimize potential fraud losses. The County requests that the vendor submit three (3) completed reference forms from clients during the past seven (7) years, one of which should be with the government sector as a part of their proposal. Provide information on the projects completed by the vendor that best represent projects of similar size, scope and complexity of this project using form provided in Attachment B – Form 8. Vendors may include two (2) additional pages for each project to illustrate aspects of the completed project that provides the information to assess the experience of the Proposer on relevant project work. J.P. Morgan is proud of the relationships we have with our clients. We have attempted to select clients that are similar in size and scope of the County, allowing you to accurately assess our compatibility with your organization. Our completed reference questionnaires are attached as Appendix 9. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 19 Evaluation Criteria No. 4: Program Implementation and Product Details In this tab, include but not limited to: • Describe your company’s procedures for customer account program design and implementation. We will leverage our proven methodology for the County to deliver a comprehensive, yet streamlined implementation that serves as a strong foundation for your new commercial card program. Your experienced J.P. Morgan implementation project manager will oversee the entire process and supervise the working teams, providing direct accountability, clear timelines, and ongoing communication throughout the implementation process. Our standard implementation cycle is typically 90 to 120 business days, which includes monitoring your program through the first billing cycle and payment to provide end-to-end processes are integrated as expected. Cards are typically issued within 60 business days from the initial kick off meeting. To shorten this timeline, we can also begin key implementation activities prior to formal contract execution. However, in order for us to complete the build of your program and issue cards, we must have an executed contract in place. All implementation materials, timelines, and project dashboards will be tailored to your organization’s unique needs. Implementation Plan and Timeline While we will tailor our process to address your specific requirements, we rely on a standard, proven methodology as the foundation. The phases in our methodology include initiation, client readiness and requirements, program configuration, go live, and final transition. This methodology is based on 30 years of experience in implementing commercial card programs and makes certain that all goals set by your organization are reached and that established timelines are consistently met. Phase One—Initiation / Resource Assignment The first step is initiation, where the project resources for the County and J.P. Morgan are assembled in preparation to meet your needs and program objectives. The team reviews the information that has been gathered for your program and drafts an approach tailored to your requirements. During initiation, we conduct a formal kickoff meeting to introduce the team members who will Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 20 support your implementation. An implementation toolkit with all the necessary resources will be provided to you after the initial kickoff meeting. The toolkit contains the project dashboard, required forms, reference guides and other helpful resources to assist your team during the implementation of your card program. Phase Two—Requirements/Readiness We then move on to the requirements/readiness phase, where we focus on your program details and utilize weekly status calls to verify that we are on track to meet your milestones. While exact requirements vary according to the size and structure of each program, commonly discussed items include identifying participating cardholders, spend controls, chart of accounts, hierarchy structure, statement reconciliation, accounting code structure, mapper specifications, reporting requirements, payment method, and card plastic design. Specific tasks and timelines are captured and tracked through project dashboards. Phase Three—Program Configuration Once requirements have been gathered, documented, and confirmed with you, we will begin to build your program, including file feeds, reporting features, and software setup. Once the configuration is finalized, you and your implementation project manager will review the configuration for accuracy. This supports a smooth pilot to go live. Phase Four—Pilot/Go Live If you choose to pilot your program, we will roll out a small number of cards during this phase. When we have confirmed that everything is working as designed and you have successfully completed a cycle and a payment, we will proceed into the full program rollout. After the close of your first billing cycle (typically within three weeks of the first transactions posting), your implementation project manager will conduct a review meeting to verify that all requirements have been met for your program. Phase Five—Transition During the final phase, we will also have an opportunity to debrief with you on the project and provide final documentation on the setup of your program. The implementation team will transition support for your program to our relationship management team, who will assist the County going forward. Through each stage, your implementation team will remain actively engaged, available through direct telephone number and email. We are committed to a timely and successful implementation and will provide the County with the guidance you need. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 21 • Describe your card issuance process, including timing, for new cards, lost/stolen cards, replacement cards (including “emergency” replacement). As a best practice, J.P. Morgan accepts a formatted, electronic card application file for initial issuance, allowing us to enroll all of your cardholders simultaneously. For ongoing issuance, we provide user-friendly online and electronic paper application options. Initial Issuance To facilitate a seamless implementation and save the County time and paperwork, J.P. Morgan can accept an Excel-formatted J.P. Morgan bulk application containing account information for each cardholder, such as: • Legal first and last name • Date of birth • Country of citizenship • Home and business address • Phone number • Account security details (e.g., last four digits of an employee ID or social security number and first four letters of the mother’s maiden name, or other unique letter/digit password) • Spend limit • Cardholder department and cost center (optional) Ongoing Issuance J.P. Morgan offers several convenient options for ongoing card issuance: • Online applications: Program administrators can request a new individual account directly via PaymentNet. Alternatively, employees can request a new commercial card via PaymentNet’s Account Request Manager. Once completed, the applications are routed to a designated manager and/or program administrator for approval. • Paper applications: Paper applications can be submitted by the County’s cardholders or program administrator via mail, email or fax. • Spreadsheet applications: A J.P. Morgan-supplied spreadsheet application can be submitted by your program administrator for mass applications, even after initial issuance. Once completed, the spreadsheet should be encrypted and emailed to J.P. Morgan for processing. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 22 Lost or Stolen Cards Collier County should notify us immediately if a card is lost, stolen, misused or if there is fraud. We will promptly cancel the account to prevent further program liability. Our Customer Service team is available 24/7/365 to cancel lost or stolen cards and reissue new plastic, as needed. Delivery of new cards is made within five to seven business days. If a rush card replacement is requested, a card can be delivered within one to two days. A fee may apply. Replacement Cards Card replacement requests can be placed online using the account maintenance feature of PaymentNet. This simple process requires just two clicks from the Account List page. Cards are processed on the same day as long as it is received by their preset processing deadlines. Cards are typically in the mail within five business days of request receipt. Emergency rush cards can be sent overnight to cardholders or your program administrator. • Describe your company’s web based software application (compatible with SAP) to upload Visa files. PaymentNet is a fully hosted online solution that requires no client-side software and is accessible from virtually any secure Internet browser. Designed, developed and supported in house by J.P. Morgan, our easy-to-use system helps the County streamline time-consuming tasks and offers key features, including: • Simplified day-to-day account management: From real-time profile changes and declined transaction viewing for program administrators to streamlined reporting options for cardholders, PaymentNet can help you handle everyday tasks more quickly and efficiently. • Mass update capabilities: PaymentNet allows program administrators to send mass updates of approvals, accounting codes and cardholder applications, reducing the need for one-off manual updates. • Flexible receipt imaging: Collier County is given access to PaymentNet’s versatile receipt imaging options, including the ability to fax or upload scanned receipts. • Time-saving reporting options: PaymentNet lets users create and save report queries, schedule reports to run automatically and view reports on screen for quick transaction reviews. PaymentNet includes a suite of standard reports to assist the County in monitoring, analyzing and reporting on your program spend. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 23 • Custom fields and transaction splitting: The County can use PaymentNet’s custom fields to meet their auditing needs, and the ability to easily split transactions simplifies the reconciliation process. • Online disputes—Any cardholder or authorized user can submit a dispute in PaymentNet, which is not possible in many competitors’ systems. PaymentNet’s built-in hierarchy support gives program administrators and other authorized personnel access to a wide range of administrative options, and allows cardholders to benefit from convenient, self-service features. In addition, PaymentNet can be fully integrated with the County’s existing SAP system during implementation, enabling your organization to leverage the full extent of your transaction data in support of your program goals. As an added benefit, J.P. Morgan will provide PaymentNet to the County at no charge. To help you get the most out of PaymentNet, J.P. Morgan will provide comprehensive training for your program administrator, as well as a variety of training options and materials for cardholders and other users. PaymentNet Features • Transaction management: PaymentNet offers transaction viewing, powerful reallocation capabilities (including a flexible number of splits) and real-time updates. Simple checkboxes allow users to indicate reconciliation tasks for each transaction, and custom fields for transactions, accounts, employees, merchants and MCCs provide additional options. • Account management: PaymentNet’s account management function allows account changes, including credit limit adjustments, maintenance activities and deactivations, to be made online with immediate effect. Changes can be completed through a standard account import process in PaymentNet. Temporary credit limit changes and account suspensions can be applied to support upcoming events. • Employee management: Collier County’s program administrator can manage all user tasks including the set up new users and passwords, creating new hierarchy levels, and linking users to accounts. Custom greetings can be configured to be displayed organization-wide or to specific departments and user roles. PaymentNet also supports decentralized administration, with the option for multiple program administrators throughout your hierarchy. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 24 • Spend analysis and reporting: With a suite of standard reports that can be run at any time (or scheduled to run automatically), you can easily monitor transaction data for expense reporting, policy adherence, vendor negotiations and virtually all other situation analyses. Advanced query and sorting options allow for the tailoring of reports to users’ specific needs. • Data integration: PaymentNet can produce data files for download directly to the County’s existing SAP system. You can specify different record types, order and sorting based on your system requirements, ensuring a seamless and accurate interface. • Electronic statements: Cardholders can view statements online for a rolling 24-month period. • Account Request Manager: Program administrators can manage every step of the online card application and approval process within PaymentNet, minimizing manual tasks and increasing administrative speed, accuracy and transparency. Your valuable data is protected through industry-proven Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. All sensitive data is masked, the login process is password protected and security access levels can be configured to help make sure that only authorized County personnel have access to critical information. The scalable architecture of PaymentNet is designed to accommodate as many logins as needed without sacrificing speed or consistency. Because PaymentNet is housed online and wholly owned by J.P. Morgan, updates and enhancements are taken care of behind the scenes, saving your organization the time and money associated with software maintenance. In providing PaymentNet, J.P. Morgan’s objective is to meet clients’ unique organizational needs and program goals in the most efficient, comprehensive and user-friendly manner possible. We would be pleased to discuss PaymentNet’s numerous features with the County in greater detail at any time. • Based on your experience, list the critical success factors for a Purchasing Card Program and the factors, which have caused programs to fail or not to work as well as expected. Our extensive experience in implementing programs for government entities indicates that the following critical factors are essential for the success of any card program: • Internal Marketing: Organizations that demonstrate best practices build program awareness, momentum, and loyalty through strong marketing and training, supported by a simple yet comprehensive communication plan and a change-management focus. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 25 • Program Sponsorship: The driving forces behind a successful commercial card program include senior management support, dedicated program resources, card issuer involvement, and a strong organization- wide commitment. • Measurable Program Objectives: To facilitate success, organizations must establish and communicate specific program objectives and performance measurements. Measuring all facets of the program enables clients to continually evaluate and enhance their processes. J.P. Morgan will work with the County management team to develop an implementation and training plan that includes the critical success factors described here. To ensure a seamless conversion and successful program, we use best practice management guides in conjunction with our years of experience with organizations that are similar in size and need to yours. • Once the program is implemented, provide procedures and timelines for spending limit changes general maintenance including name and address changes as well as MCC blocking new applications renewal cards. Program administrators can make account changes using PaymentNet’s account maintenance feature. With this feature, tasks such as credit limit adjustments, profile updates and termination activities can be accomplished online and in real time, with changes effective immediately. Available functions include: • Name and address updates • Current balance verification • Transaction limit changes • Monthly/cycle credit limit changes (temporary and permanent) • MCC Group changes • New card requests • Card replacement requests • Account closures • Authorization/decline activity access Cardholders can also use PaymentNet to view their account data, although they will not be able to make changes. • Provide foreign use policy. When a cardholder conducts a transaction in a currency other than U.S. dollars (USD), Visa will typically convert the transaction amount back to USD at the time the transaction is processed. The transaction amount is converted to the equivalent USD amount using a wholesale or government-mandated conversion rate. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 26 For each international transaction, a 1.5% fee is imposed for transaction processing. • Describe your company’s ability to capture and transmit commodity code(s) of a purchase transaction if any. PaymentNet receives and displays all levels of transaction data passed by merchants, including line-item detail. The exact level of data captured at the point of sale is dependent on terminal setup. Enhanced data records are structured to capture purchase details and allow merchants to provide a commodity code within line-item detail. Merchants may use NIGP, UNSPSC and/or NAICS coding when providing this information. Ultimately, it is the merchant’s choice whether to use these or any other codes, such as internal commodity codes or UPC numbers. NIGP, UNSPSC and NAICS codes can be passed with level II or level III data. Merchants can provide these codes in the customer code field, but if multiple items are purchased, each item could have a different code. This approach is unlikely to provide adequate reconciliation because level II data includes just one customer code field. Level III data, which accommodates line-item detail, could allow for multiple NIGP, UNSPSC, and NAICS codes to be assigned to each item purchased. Although the credit card industry does not currently facilitate commodity blocking, J.P. Morgan is working to increase transmission of level III enhanced detail to enable commodity-related reporting and help the County increase policy compliance. To assist you, PaymentNet offers several options for tracking/reporting at the commodity level if you follow a few best practices: • Mandate that your cardholders use only merchants that pass level III detail on transactions. The advantage of this approach is that the County can use the query and reporting functions in PaymentNet to create the commodity reports you need for tracking, analyzing and directing spend. However, this approach could conceivably limit cardholders and impact convenience, and if the merchant with the best price does not pass level III detail, the County would pay a higher price. • Set up your accounting code strings to reflect the level of detail you need. Sub-codes tracking down to the commodity level are a good example of this methodology. With this option, the County would need to make certain that all cardholders are trained to properly code their transactions as no merchant-fed data would contain these data strings. • Mandate that cardholders enter the commodities purchased in an additional notes field; the County can then query that note field to determine commodity-specific spending. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 27 • Provide a lookup range of archive transaction data. All reports available in PaymentNet can be generated with up to 24 months of historical data (audit data is archived after 12 months). We further maintain up to seven years of basic transaction information that can be retrieved by contacting your relationship manager. To assist with various program management needs, PaymentNet reports are categorized data types: • Accounts: Account reports will allow your program administrator to manage cardholders and their accounts (e.g., assign cardholders to hierarchy positions, request cards, run delinquency reports, or view an account’s status, credit limit, and balance). • Administration: Administration reports will assist your program administrator in the day-to-day management of your program (e.g., run reports on user details or spend policy compliance). • Cardholders: Cardholder reports will allow your program administrator to manage employees or accounts (e.g., verify that transactions have been reviewed or track a cardholder’s profile details, account status information, and account limits). • Merchants: Your program administrator can use merchant reports to look for spend patterns that can support organization-wide decision making and vendor negotiations (e.g., view 1099/socio-economic reports or spend at preferred merchants). • Transactions: Transaction reports will allow your program administrator to monitor program spend (e.g., view summary, analytical, and detailed information), as well as assist with commodity spend penetration, cost control monitoring, expense allocation, expense reporting, purchasing control compliance and line-item purchase analysis (using level III data). In addition, authorized cardholders can run these reports to view transaction details for reconciliation purposes. • Describe any advanced audit capabilities such as Intellink. PaymentNet features enhanced monitoring controls through extensive audit reporting. Auditing is available for transactions, accounts, employees, hierarchy, chart of accounts, and orders. Collier County can view the last 20 changes made to any of these objects using the History screen. We offer standard reports for each of these objects and provide up to one year of data. Our system and reports show each individual change, including previous and new values, the name of the person who made the change and the time that the change was made. To further help promote user compliance, PaymentNet offers several standard auditing reports: Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 28 • Account Audit: This report lists all card changes made during a selected date range; it contains the account number, change date, a description of the field changed, original data, new data and PaymentNet user ID that made the change. • Chart of Accounts Audit: Any chart of accounts creations and changes to an existing chart of accounts using PaymentNet can be queried using a date range. This report will display all changes made to a chart of accounts during a requested period of time. It contains change date, change time, chart name, segment, segment value, field name, previous value, new value and user ID that made the change. • Employee Audit: Any new employee account creations or changes to an existing employee account using PaymentNet can be queried using a date range. This report lists all employee changes made during a requested time period and contains change date, change time, user ID changed or added, field name, previous value, new value and user ID that made the change. • Hierarchy Audit: Any new hierarchy creations or changes to an existing hierarchy using PaymentNet can be queried using a date range. This report will show all hierarchy changes made during a requested time period. It contains change date, change time, hierarchy ID, field name, previous value, new value and user ID that made the change. • Login Audit: PaymentNet logins can be queried using a date range. This report lists all logins during a requested time period and contains login date and time, user ID and session duration. • Transaction Audit: This report will provide all transaction changes made during a selected date range; it contains the transaction ID, change date, a description of the field changed, original data, new data and PaymentNet user ID that made the change. In addition, because PaymentNet offers powerful splitting and reallocation capabilities, the Transaction Allocation report will track how each transaction is being split among different cost centers. This report allows your program administrator and managers to confirm that cardholders are not reassigning charges to incorrect accounting codes. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 29 Evaluation Criteria No. 5: Customer Support In this tab, include but not limited to: • Describe the issuer’s customer service organizational structure. Our service structure is composed of experienced commercial card experts and is designed to make sure we provide the customized support and central points of contact our clients require at all organizational levels, from senior management to program administration to cardholders. J.P. Morgan Service Model Our service model is designed to give each area of the County’s organization the specialized support you need. Relationship Manager Upon notice of becoming a finalist or at contract award, your account will be assigned to one of our experienced relationship managers. They will provide best practices, serve as a point of escalation, conduct regular program performance reviews, and maintain your organization’s overall satisfaction with our products and services. Program Administration Support After program implementation is complete and cards have been issued, your day- to-day tasks will be attended to by our Program Coordinator team members, each of whom has extensive backgrounds in supporting commercial card programs. Collier County’s program administrator can contact our program coordinators for assistance with account management inquiries, change and operations requests, Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 30 and technical issues. The Program Coordinator team will have access to your program files and County-specific information for prompt, efficient service. Our Program Coordinator servicing team is empowered to make decisions to provide prompt action and one-call resolution. When issues cannot be resolved immediately, a time commitment for resolution is communicated back within 24 hours for telephone inquiries and 48 hours for email inquiries. Our program coordinator servicing team is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. This program coordinator support is further augmented by 24/7/365 customer service assistance, which is available to both program administrators and cardholders. Cardholder Support Collier County’s cardholders receive 24/7/365 support from our commercial card call centers. Our customer service specialists are available to answer questions, resolve issues, and make sure your employees have access to the support resources they need whenever and wherever they do business. Our service personnel are held to some of the highest standards in the industry and our service organization is entirely dedicated to commercial card support—Customer Service team members do not handle consumer cards or other bank products. All customer service is conducted domestically—we do not offshore support. We have two call centers with 100 customer service specialists dedicated to servicing our Commercial Card clients. • Describe the card account activation and deactivation process for card accounts. Detail the level of account support you would provide in managing these processes. To increase security and decrease fraud, all cards are delivered with a block that prevents usage. On receipt, cardholders activate their cards by calling our voice response unit (VRU). Cardholders are asked to provide two unique security identifiers during account setup, and one will be required for card activation. An identifier can be the CVV2 number on the back of the card, any four-digit numeric, and any four-digit alphanumeric code (e.g., the last four digits of the cardholder’s social security number, last four characters of the mother’s maiden name, or employee ID). The card can be used immediately after the cardholder activates his or her card. We recommend that you deactivate accounts by building a process into employee terminations. Collier County’s program administrator can enter changes directly into PaymentNet to reduce the opportunity for card fraud or misuse. We can also process account changes, such as terminations, based on mass data received from an employee data refresh file. On receipt of this file, data is loaded Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 31 directly into PaymentNet and updates are posted automatically, which eliminates the need for manual account maintenance. This process can be established during implementation. Once a card has been cancelled, it can only be reinstated by us. However, County program administrators can immediately reissue new cards through PaymentNet’s online maintenance feature. (Your program administrator can also contact the program coordinator team for assistance with account reinstatements.) • Describe your customer service capabilities for cardholders, including the following: • Hours of coverage Our customer service specialists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. • Toll free number access A toll-free service number is provided on the back of every card. Cardholders can contact our U.S.-based call centers 24/7/365 for assistance with a wide range of service issues. To assist cardholders when they are outside the United States or in areas where toll-free calling is not available, a collect number is also listed on the back of every card. • Types of services offered Services and information our specialists offer for your cardholders include: • Lost/stolen card reporting • Answers to statement questions • Card activation • General account information • Balance/credit information • Billing disputes • Fraud reporting • Payment information • Cardholder transaction information • Specific charge details (including declines) • Account closures/card cancellations • Replacement card requests • Emergency assistance • Online password assistance Additional services provided through our call center include an easy-to- use voice response unit (VRU) for commonly asked questions and an interpretation service to assist non-English-speaking cardholders in over 100 languages (e.g., Spanish, German, Italian and French). Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 32 • Describe your company’s customer service response policy and processes. Detail customer service round-the-clock availability, dedicated team structures, telephone response average wait times and phone systems automated response unit (ARU) capabilities. For telephone response times, include the following information (most recent monthly average): • Number of calls received • Numbers of calls handled • Number of calls abandoned • Number of calls facilitated within 30 seconds of being placed in a hold queue. • Average wait time • Average length of talk time Our Quality Assurance team constantly monitors and benchmarks our service specialists to optimize their performance, as well as client and cardholder satisfaction. We have numerous internal quality measurement processes and analyses performed both internally and by outside parties to confirm that we are meeting our quality benchmarks. Our key performance indicators, their definitions, and our service benchmarks are as follows: Customer Service Availability • Definition: This benchmark is defined as 24/7/365 customer service availability. Cardholder customer service will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week via a toll-free phone number that is supported by trained specialists. • Monitoring: Staffing is monitored in multiple systems to provide for checks and balances. Planning software is used to makes sure staff are scheduled in advance and we have appropriate coverage over each interval. The Avaya CMS Supervisor and CCPulse software applications are used to monitor real-time queue staffing and performance. • Adjusting to Meet Client Needs: Having two separate service sites makes sure we have redundancy with volume automatically rerouting to our backup site. Resiliency plans are in place in the event that one site goes down. Overtime would be offered at backup site to make sure service expectations are met or exceeded. We also test resiliency programs regularly. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 33 Average Speed of Answer • Definition: This benchmark is defined as the time between placement of a call and when that call is answered by a specialist. The cardholder customer service center’s goal is to answer 80 percent of phone calls with an average speed of 20 seconds or less. • Monitoring: Our call monitoring system tracks this benchmark. Our system reporting tracks based on interval, day, and month to date average speed of answer. Customer Service Metrics Metric August 2017 Number of calls received 133,054 Number of calls handled 133,245 Number of calls abandoned 1.3% Average talk time 211 seconds Average speed of answer 16 seconds Percentage of Calls Abandoned • Definition: This benchmark is defined as the percentage of calls abandoned after 20 seconds. The goal for this benchmark is 3 percent or less, meaning that less than three calls in a hundred are abandoned after 20 seconds. • Monitoring: Our quality assurance call monitoring system tracks our performance against this benchmark. • Adjusting to Meet Client Needs: Several options are available to make sure we meet these goals, including: opening overtime, adjusting schedules, using other staff resources (borrowing specialists from other groups within Commercial Card knowledge and experience), pulling back on any off-the-phone project work and asking other qualified personnel to assist with phone calls. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 34 • If a Cardholder has a dispute or issue with a charge, what is the resolution process and timeline? Most erroneous charges can be corrected by calling the merchant—avoiding the dispute process entirely. We have a straightforward dispute initiation process that makes it easy for the County to initiate disputes through us. Throughout the dispute resolution process, our Disputes team will act as advocates on your behalf. We recommend that Collier County initiate all disputes via phone, as this enables our specialists to discuss the issue with the cardholder and provide the most comprehensive support. Cardholders can contact our Customer Service department by calling the number on the back of the card. Disputes can also be initiated online in PaymentNet or by email or mail. Dedicated personnel handle the reporting, tracking, and resolution of disputes worldwide. Disputes must be made within 60 days of the transaction date; the specific terms vary according to each client’s contract. Dispute resolution typically occurs within 5 to 60 days of initiation, dependent on the nature of the dispute, and we regularly exceed our goal to resolve 65 percent of disputes within 7 days and 88 percent within 30 days. When the County notifies us of a disputed transaction, the disputed item is removed from the balance during the investigation. A temporary dispute credit is issued while the dispute is being researched. We will credit your account if a dispute is resolved in the County’s favor. This credit is processed just like a transaction and will appear on your next statement. The suspended charge will leave the dispute status and payment will be due if the dispute is resolved in the merchant’s favor. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 35 Our Streamlined Dispute Process J.P. Morgan makes it easy for Collier County to initiate disputes. Initiating a Dispute by Phone Cardholders who are uncertain how to submit a dispute should contact our Customer Service team by calling the number on the back of their card. The customer service specialist will walk the cardholder through the process to initiate a dispute. A dispute analyst will review the case and follow up with the cardholder. They have access to additional tools and information to facilitate the process, such as mediating a conversation between the cardholder and the merchant for immediate resolution—which is often the best approach. This gives the analyst an opportunity to more fully understand the concern and better assist the cardholder. We recommend this process for more complicated disputes. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 36 Online Dispute Initiation in PaymentNet Users authorized by the County to initiate disputes in PaymentNet can do so using a prepopulated form. The user simply selects a dispute reason, follows the prompts to input additional information, and clicks “submit” to transmit the form to our disputes department. PaymentNet enables employees to track disputes initiated through PaymentNet online. Color-coded indicators on the transaction screen mark steps in the dispute process. After a dispute has been submitted, a yellow indicator appears next to the transaction. When it has been assigned to a dispute specialist and is actively being worked on, the indicator changes to red. After the dispute is resolved, the indicator turns green. Your program administrator can also run the “Transaction Disputes by Hierarchy” report to see the status of all open disputes. Dispute Initiation by Email or Mail We offer a standard form that cardholders can send to us via email or mail in order to initiate a dispute. Cardholders can also initiate a dispute via email without using the form. The dispute will be initiated when we receive the form, and a disputes analyst may contact the cardholder via phone or email for additional information. We will provide the standard form to your program administrator. Cardholders should include their name and account number along with the transaction details of the disputed charge and their reason for disputing the charge. Details of any efforts they have made to resolve the dispute with the merchant on their own should be noted. Cardholders should also provide additional documentation, such as receipts, during the dispute resolution process. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 37 Evaluation Criteria No. 6: Cost of Services to the County The County expects no setup fees or implementation costs. No transaction fees or card fees including standard card design, nor any charge for software programs, or access to electronic billing, reporting and payment tools. Access to J.P. Morgan’s proprietary PaymentNet system is provided to the County at no charge as part of your commercial card program. There are no costs for implementation and standard card design. Please refer to our financial proposal, attached as Appendix 1, for more information. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 38 Evaluation Criteria No. 7: Local Vendor Preference Local business is defined as the vendor having a current Business Tax Receipt issued by the Collier or Lee County Tax Collector for at least one year prior to proposal submission to do business within Collier County, and that identifies the business with a permanent physical business address located within the limits of Collier or Lee County from which the vendor’s staff operates and performs business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. Please refer to our completed Form 9: Vendor Submittal – Local Vendor Preference Affidavit, attached as Appendix 10. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 39 Attachment A - Scope of Work/Services and Technical Specifications Detailed Scope of Services The County’s primary objectives include: • To achieve administrative savings, specifically by continuing electronic billing/payment for purchasing commodities and services. • To consolidate and enhance data collection and reporting. • To realize increased rebates from increased volume. • To contract at no cost to the County (the County expects no setup fees or implementation costs. No transaction fees or card fees including standard card design, nor any charge for software programs, or access to electronic billing, reporting and payment tools.). The County’s expectations for the successful proposer are: • To provide a smooth transition between the current and new provider, with minimal impact on cardholders and program administrators. • To dedicate state-of-the-art electronic management/reporting tools (Visa Intellilink or comparable software auditing tool). • To work with the County to develop an understanding of the needs, processes and policies. • To commit to increase usage of the cards and identify areas for greater efficiency through an annual assessment. • To commit knowledgeable, experienced, responsive staff responsible for customer service and program management. • To provide training/conference opportunities for city program administrators. • To assign key staff within or proximate to Collier County, Florida. • To provide toll free phone numbers for all communications related to the contract. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 40 The County currently utilizes a VISA Purchasing Card Program provided by SunTrust. Our program is operating at an average current monthly expenditure amount of approximately $220,000 with 309 cardholders. The County currently receives an annual rebate of approximately $28,000 to $33,000 with an annual spend of approximately $2,500,000. The average cardholder currently has a $5,000 monthly credit limit, but we propose to have cardholder’s limits set to $3,000 single and $10,000 monthly. A limited number of individuals in each department have higher monthly credit limits to manage individual purchases not to exceed $5,000 per transaction amount. Large dollar purchases are processed through the Procurement Services Department and the Accounts Payable Division. The County anticipates a substantial increase in purchasing card expenditures through modification of current cardholder profiles where deemed appropriate, and the use of electronically- managed programs. The program is centrally administered by the Procurement Services Division who works in conjunction with Divisions in a joint effort with the provider to oversee and address contract issues and overall program management from a countywide perspective. The Procurement Card Program is regularly checked through an Internal Audit process for compliance at the user department levels and through Procurement Services. The awarded vendor must designate a Contract Administration contact. The person will serve as a single point of contact for general contract administration items such as contract renewals and high-level problem resolution, such as contract or performance issues. Awarded vendor shall keep the County’s Contract Administrator currently informed of all changes to the information submitted in the Proposal Submittals and Proposal Forms including but not limited to, merger or sale of the company, address changes and changes in vendor personnel assigned to the contract. For propose of this contract, “currently informed” means with sufficient notice to properly notify County agencies of the changes and/or make updates to the City’s information systems. Failure to meet this requirement of this section many be grounds for contract termination or non-renewal. We agree. Ralph Hildevert will be the County’s designated Contract Administration contact for J.P. Morgan. Ralph can be reached at (305) 579-9320 or via email at ralph.hildevert@jpmorgan.com. Mandatory Elements • Proposer agrees that no date, information or distribution list related to this contract may be sold or otherwise distributed by the proposer to a third party, including any divisions owned by or affiliated with the proposer. We agree. • No information other than routine billing and statements shall be sent to the Collier County cardholders without the prior approval of the County's Contract Administrator. We agree.

Collier County currently uses Paymetrc/XiBuy to upload its Visa files. The County needs reporting applications accessible by multiple users from multiple locations throughout the County at no cost to the County. We agree. • The Proposer agrees that all cards issued must require cardholder activation upon receipt (cards not mailed "live"). This shall be done using the cardholder's employee I.D. number, NOT their social security number. We agree. • Liability - Purchasing Card. The County will be liable for charges made by authorized users that are in accordance with County's Policies and Procedures, however, • Proposer agrees to assume responsibility for all charges, without a deductible, incurred after notification of lost, stolen or compromised or fraudulently used card/account. Compromised or fraudulent is defined as use of the card/account by a person other than the person to whom the card was issued. Means and terms of the notification will be per mutually agreed upon contracted terms. • Proposer agrees to provide a liability waiver program for charges incurred by a cardholder that do not benefit the County directly or indirectly. Describe the terms, amount of coverage and deductibles for your liability waiver program. Also, describe other tools that would enable the City to establish policy and control and monitor purchases to minimize risk or detect any misuse or abuse. Client shall immediately notify Bank: (i) of any Card or any Account which is no longer required; and (ii) by phone of any Card that Client knows or suspects has been lost, stolen, misappropriated, improperly used or compromised. In connection with Client’s notifications obligations described herein and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Master Agreement: i. Liability for Fraudulent Transactions Following Notification. Client shall not be liable for any Fraudulent Transactions made on a Card under any Account after the effective time of such notification to Bank of such Fraudulent Transaction. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 42 ii. Liability for Fraudulent Transactions Prior to Notification.

Additional Information – Single-Use Accounts (Virtual Cards) The J.P. Morgan Single-Use Account solution is an electronic, credit card-based payment method that can help the County more efficiently manage your payment process as well as help reduce costs and transform traditional areas of expense into potential revenue generators. J.P. Morgan offers a true single-use account solution. Each single-use account has a credit limit equal to the approved invoice amount. There is just one account per invoice, helping to secure that the merchant has access only to approved funds for a specific invoice. Our single-use accounts are ideal for helping the County optimize your working capital and procurement processes. This dynamic product combines the features of purchasing cards, checks and ACH payments and serves as a powerful and valuable tool in your accounts payable processing, filling in gaps where other solutions may fall short: Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 43 Feature Single-Use Accounts Cards Checks ACH Electronic payment process    Rebate potential   Improved days sales outstanding (DSO)   Electronic remittance    Specified payment date range   Specified payment amount (to the penny)    Electronic reconciliation    Ability to stop payment    Ongoing per-payment fees   Our single-use account solution can assist the County in realizing all of these benefits. Using single-use accounts rather than purchasing cards for payments will provide a variety of advantages, including advanced payment controls, enhanced data with every transaction, potential extension of spend into new categories, improved payment convenience, elimination of manual payment processing, and even greater reductions in procurement costs. Furthermore, by utilizing electronic accounts instead of physical cards, the County will gain the benefit of total payment security. You have control over every element of a payment, from the specific payment amount (down to the penny), to the merchant that may accept it, to the time period in which the specified merchant may obtain the designated funds. If you are paying for a specific invoice or purchase order, detailed remittance data is transmitted securely to both parties to facilitate automated payment reconciliation without the need for further correspondence (which could introduce miscommunications or sharing of confidential details). In addition, fraudulent payments and internal misuse of funds are virtually impossible due to the controls your organization can impose as well as the fact that employees will not have access to cards or key card details, essentially eradicating “rogue” payments. As part of our single-use account solution, the County will have access to J.P. Morgan’s industry-leading PaymentNet system, the engine that interfaces with Mastercard to create your accounts. You can also use PaymentNet for account and transaction management, advanced reporting, activity monitoring, statement access, reconciliation, and data integration tasks. J.P. Morgan offers flexible single-use account setup options to meet the County’s virtual payment needs. • Our batch option utilizes current ERP and general ledger systems to manage accounts payable-type expenses. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 44 • Real-time (or “web service”) single-use accounts integrate with clients’ ERP systems and PaymentNet, allowing users to send requests and receive account numbers in real time via either the ERP system or PaymentNet. This option is suited for clients who need to integrate the single-use account payment process into their day-to-day operations. • Our manual online option allows clients that do not fully integrate into ERP systems to instantly access single-use account numbers within PaymentNet as needed. Clients with batch and real-time integration have the option of using the manual online option too. As an additional benefit for the County, once your single-use account program is up and running, we will consult with you to identify opportunities for enhancing other areas of your payables processes to drive discounts and maximize efficiencies. Our consultative approach to providing electronic payment solutions and our considerable industry experience and expertise provides your organization with access to a wide range of best practices, customized recommendations, and other resources to help make sure that your program is operating at peak levels. In addition, J.P. Morgan offers an analysis that will show your potential savings simply by replacing checks and extending your days payable outstanding (DPO). SUA Connection SUA Connection, available for PaymentNet programs, makes it easy for your suppliers to process and track SUA payments. A user-friendly online resource, SUA Connection empowers suppliers via: • Full visibility into SUA payment status • Intuitive user interface to simplify payment processing and tracking • Self-serve options to minimize missed/expired payments and improve days sales outstanding (DSO) • Easy access to aggregate remittance data to streamline reconciliation • Supplier-defined profile, preferences and user access control to help ensure tailored support SUA Connection is easy to navigate and offered to suppliers at no additional cost. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 45 SUA Connection – Payments at a Glance Participating suppliers will be able to access all of their SUA transaction data from all of their customers who use SUA in one convenient place. Your suppliers will be able to: • See payments waiting to be processed and the number of days remaining until expiration • Review payment declines (including decline rationale), along with any missed payments • View any account number to see if it allows multiple transactions, as well as the amount remaining and any posted transactions • Download aggregate remittance data • Maintain profile, preference and contact information for their organization • Control user access • Leverage the Technical Support Desk for questions/issues Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 46 Benefits SUA Connection makes processing payments easier for your suppliers and reduces one- off calls to you. Supplier benefits Buyer benefits • Greater control, plus another layer of insight and support • Fewer one-off supplier calls or emails requesting information • On demand data to easily troubleshoot issues • Less time spent researching payment issues • Fewer missed/expired payments • Reduced need to reissue requests for missed/expired payments • Streamlined reconciliation; no more cutting and pasting data from multiple emails • More options for suppliers, more support to grow your program Unlike some sites with complex interfaces and multiple applications, SUA Connection was developed with your suppliers in mind and designed to allow for optimal self- service. Supplier Registration Registering for SUA Connection is quick and easy, requiring only three steps: • Collier County’s supplier agrees to accept SUA and J.P. Morgan sends them an email with a link validating their acceptance. • The first time the County submits a payment, your supplier will receive an email with a link to the SUA Connection registration page. • Collier County’s supplier receives temporary credentials, sets up a user name and password, and is officially registered. Automated Settlement J.P. Morgan’s Automated Settlement solution streamlines the SUA process by automatically depositing payments into your account without the need for manual processing. Similar in function to straight-through processing or buyer-initiated payments, Automated Settlement is designed to work seamlessly with SUA, helping to increase working capital, minimize missed payments and reduce manual processing errors. Proposal to Collier County Board of County Commissioners Page 47 Automated Settlement Process Flow – How it Works Automated Settlement eliminates steps in the payment process, accelerating the transaction flow. Our in-house merchant acquirer subsidiary, Merchant Services, enables this method of payment processing automatically from any J.P. Morgan SUA client. Additionally, because there is a unique account number for every payment, reconciliation is easier when compared against buyer-initiated payments, which use the same account number. Most importantly, a single use account number greatly reduces the potential for fraud. Supplier Benefits • Eliminate expired payments through auto-settlement • Faster payment processing can improve Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) • Streamlined reconciliation including remittance detail • Reduced fraud by receiving a true single-use account number for each payment In short, with J.P. Morgan’s Single-Use Accounts, the County can continue to leverage your existing payment processes, systems, and suppliers while enjoying considerable advantages throughout your organization. We look forward to further discussions with your management team regarding the comprehensive benefits our solution can provide. v.17202.UPL DISCLAIMER Prepared for Collier County Board of County Commissioners FINANCIAL PROPOSAL January 18, 2018 2 DISCLAIMER This document was prepared exclusively for the benefit and internal use of the party to whom it is directly addressed and delivered (including such party’s subsidiaries, the “Organization”) in order to assist the Organization in evaluating certain products or services that may be provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

J. Neither Bank nor Client shall be liable for any loss or damage to the other for its failure to perform or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Master Agreement, if such non-performance or delay is caused directly or indirectly by an act of God, act of governmental authority, de jure or de facto, legal constraint, war, terrorism, catastrophe, fire, flood or electrical, computer, mechanical or telecommunications failure, or failure of any agent or correspondent, or unavailability of a payment system, or other natural disaster or any cause beyond its reasonable control.

Service Providers Client acknowledges that Bank outsources various services it provides in connection with the Accounts and the Cards to Affiliates and other service providers outside of Canada. As such, Client acknowledges that personal information (including personal information of Cardholders) may be processed outside of Canada and accordingly, subject to the legal requirements applicable in such foreign jurisdictions. Bank’s ability to offer credit and perform its obligations in respect of the Cards and the Accounts will depend on the ability of its Affiliates and service providers to perform the services in respect of the Cards and the Accounts which will, in turn, be subject to the laws of the foreign jurisdictions where those Affiliates or service providers are located. SAMPLE Page 2 of 3 VII. Privacy Each of Client and Bank agrees to manage all personally identifiable information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada). Client agrees to cooperate with Bank and to execute additional documentation and/or implement processes in relation to obtaining consents from its Employees in order to comply with the previous sentence. VIII. Usury Laws If any provision of this Canada Schedule would oblige Client to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to Bank in an amount or calculated at a rate prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by Bank of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by Bank of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (A) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to Bank under this Local Schedule; and (B) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to Bank that would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada); but in all circumstances after taking into account and offsetting any incentive awards paid to Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if Bank receives an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the foregoing, then Client shall be entitled, by notice in writing to Bank, to obtain reimbursement from Bank in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by Bank to Client. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in the foregoing shall be determined in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term of this Canada Schedule on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over the period of time. IX. International Transactions and Fees If an International Transaction is made in a currency other than Canadian dollars, the Network will convert the Transaction into Canadian dollars using its currency conversion procedures. The exchange rate the Network uses to convert currency is a rate that it selects either from the range of rates available in the wholesale currency markets for the applicable processing date (which rate may vary from the rate the Network receives), or the government-mandated rate, if any, in effect on the applicable processing date. The rate in effect on the applicable processing date may differ from the rate on the date when the International Transaction occurred or when the Card was used. Bank will charge an International Transaction Fee as disclosed in the fee schedule attached hereto. The International Transaction Fee will be calculated on the Canadian dollar amount provided by the Network. The same process and charges may apply if any International Transaction is reversed. The exchange rate used by the Network may not be reflective of the exchange rate available to Client elsewhere. X.

(E-Verify Employer Agent) regarding the Employer's and E-Verify Employer Agent’s participation in the Employment Eligibility Verification Program (E-Verify). This MOU explains certain features of the E-Verify program and enumerates specific responsibilities of DHS, the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Employer, and the E-Verify Employer Agent. References to the Employer include the E-Verify Employer Agent when acting on behalf of the Employer. E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States after completion of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9). For covered government contractors, E-Verify is used to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees and all existing employees assigned to Federal contracts or to verify the entire workforce if the contractor so chooses. Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended (8 U.S.C. § 1324a note). Authority for use of the E-Verify program by Federal contractors and subcontractors covered by the terms of Subpart 22.18, “Employment Eligibility Verification”, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (hereinafter referred to in this MOU as a “Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause”) to verify the employment eligibility of certain employees working on Federal contracts is also found in Subpart 22.18 and in Executive Order 12989, as amended. ARTICLE II FUNCTIONS TO BE PERFORMED A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA 1. SSA agrees to provide the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) with available information that will allow the Employer to confirm the accuracy of Social Security Numbers provided by all employees verified under this MOU and the employment authorization of U.S. citizens. 2. SSA agrees to provide the Employer and E-Verify Employer Agent appropriate assistance with operational problems that may arise during the Employer's participation in E-Verify. SSA agrees to provide the E-Verify Employer Agent with names, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers of SSA representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process.

SSA agrees to safeguard the information provided by the Employer through the E-Verify program procedures, and to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law, to individuals responsible for the verification of Social Security Numbers and for evaluation of E-Verify or such other persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a), the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401). 4. SSA agrees to provide a means of automated verification that is designed (in conjunction with DHS's automated system if necessary) to provide confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of U.S. citizens’ employment eligibility within 3 Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry. 5. SSA agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating SSA records as may be necessary) for employees who contest SSA tentative nonconfirmations that is designed to provide final confirmation or nonconfirmation of U.S. citizens' employment eligibility and accuracy of SSA records for both citizens and non-citizens within 10 Federal Government work days of the date of referral to SSA, unless SSA determines that more than 10 days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional verification instructions. B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS 1.After SSA verifies the accuracy of SSA records for employees through E-Verify, DHS agrees to provide the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) access to selected data from DHS's database to enable the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU: • Automated verification checks on employees by electronic means, and • Photo verification checks (when available) on employees. 2.DHS agrees to provide to the Employer and E-Verify Employer Agent appropriate assistance with operational problems that may arise during the Employer’s participation in E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide the E-Verify Employer Agent names, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers of DHS representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process. 3.DHS agrees to make available to the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent), at the E-Verify Web site and on the E-Verify W eb browser, instructional materials on E- Verify policies, procedures and requirements for both SSA and DHS, including restrictions on the use of E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide training materials on E-Verify. 4.DHS agrees to provide to the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) a notice, which indicates the Employer’s participation in the E-Verify program. DHS also agrees to provide to the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) anti-discrimination Company ID Number: 41837 Client Company ID Number: 652762 Page 3 of 15 |E-Verify MOU for Employer (Client) using a E-Verify Employer Agent | Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify notices issued by the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice. 5.DHS agrees to issue the E-Verify Employer Agent a user identification number and password that will be used exclusively by the E-Verify Employer Agent, on behalf of the Employer, to verify information provided by employees with DHS’s databases. 6.DHS agrees to safeguard the information provided to DHS by the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent), and to limit access to such information to individuals responsible for the verification of employees’ employment eligibility and for evaluation of the E-Verify program, or to such other persons or entities as may be authorized by applicable law. Information will be used only to verify the accuracy of Social Security Numbers and employment eligibility, to enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and Federal criminal laws, and to administer Federal contracting requirements. 7.DHS agrees to provide a means of automated verification that is designed (in conjunction with SSA verification procedures) to provide confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of employees' employment eligibility within 3 Federal Government workdays of the initial inquiry. 8.DHS agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating DHS records as may be necessary) for employees who contest DHS tentative nonconfirmations and photo non-match tentative nonconfirmations that is designed to provide final confirmation or nonconfirmation of the employees' employment eligibility within 10 Federal Government work days of the date of referral to DHS, unless DHS determines that more than 10 days may be necessary. In such cases, DHS will provide additional verification instructions. C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER 1.The Employer agrees to display the notices supplied by DHS (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) in a prominent place that is clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees who are to be verified through the system. 2.The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers of the Employer representatives to be contacted regarding E-Verify. 3.The Employer agrees to become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of the E-Verify User Manual. The Employer will obtain the E-Verify User Manual from the E-Verify Employer Agent. 4.The Employer agrees to comply with current Form I-9 procedures, with two exceptions: If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List B" documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can be presented during the Form I-9 process to establish Company ID Number: 41837 Client Company ID Number: 652762 Page 4 of 15 |E-Verify MOU for Employer (Client) using a E-Verify Employer Agent | Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify identity.) If an employee objects to the photo requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218. If an employee presents a DHS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card) or Form I- 766 (Employment Authorization Document) to complete the Form I-9, the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the employee’s Form I-9. The photocopy must be of sufficient quality to allow for verification of the photo and written information. The employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS with its review of photo non-matches that are contested by employees. Note that employees retain the right to present any List A, or List B and List C, documentation to complete the Form I-9. DHS may in the future designate other documents that activate the photo screening tool. 5.The Employer understands that participation in E-Verify does not exempt the Employer from the responsibility to complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form I-9 procedures, except for the following modified requirements applicable by reason of the Employer's participation in E-Verify: (1) identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 4 above; (2) a rebuttable presumption is established that the Employer has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of any individual if it obtains confirmation of the identity and employment eligibility of the individual in good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of E-Verify; (3) the Employer must notify DHS if it continues to employ any employee after receiving a final nonconfirmation, and is subject to a civil money penalty between $550 and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final nonconfirmation; (4) the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A) if the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final nonconfirmation; and (5) no person or entity participating in E-Verify is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information provided through the confirmation system. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form I-9 and E-Verify system compliance inspections during the course of E- Verify, as well as to conduct any other enforcement activity authorized by law. 6.The Employer agrees to initiate E-Verify verification procedures (through the E-Verify Employer Agent), for new employees within 3 Employer business days after each employee has been hired (but after both sections 1 and 2 of the Form I-9 have been completed), and to complete as many (but only as many) steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the E-Verify User Manual, or in the case of Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause, the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors. The Employer is prohibited from initiating verification procedures before the employee has been hired and the Form I-9 completed. If the automated system to be queried is temporarily unavailable, the 3-day time period is extended until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries during the period of unavailability. Employers may initiate verification, through the E-Verify Employer Agent, by notating the Form I-9 in circumstances where the Company ID Number: 41837 Client Company ID Number: 652762 Page 5 of 15 |E-Verify MOU for Employer (Client) using a E-Verify Employer Agent | Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify employee has applied for a Social Security Number (SSN) from the SSA and is waiting to receive the SSN, provided that the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) performs an E-Verify employment verification query using the employee’s SSN as soon as the SSN becomes available. 7.The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify procedures for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use not authorized by this MOU. Employers must use E-Verify (through its E-Verify Employer Agent) for all new employees, unless an Employer is a Federal contractor that qualifies for the exceptions described in Article II.D.1.c. Except as provided in Article II.D, the Employer will not verify selectively and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. The Employer understands that if the Employer uses the E- Verify system for any purpose other than as authorized by this MOU, the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its access to SSA and DHS information pursuant to this MOU. 8.The Employer (through its E-Verify Employer Agent) agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III. below) regarding tentative nonconfirmations, including notifying employees in private of the finding and providing them written notice of the findings, providing written referral instructions to employees, allowing employees to contest the finding, and not taking adverse action against employees if they choose to contest the finding. Further, when employees contest a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo non-match, the Employer is required to take affirmative steps (see Article III.B. below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge. 9.The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(l)) that the employee is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance (indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo non- match, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as evidence, that the employee is not work authorized. In any of the cases listed above, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse employment consequences based upon the employee’s perceived employment eligibility status (including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an employee to work in poorer conditions, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal contract or other assignment, or otherwise subjecting an employee to any assumption that he or she is unauthorized to work, or otherwise mistreating an employee) until and unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo non-match or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee’s employment.

The Employer understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound “foreign” or have received tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer further understands that any violation of the unfair immigration-related employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages. Violations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti-discrimination provision, it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515 (TDD). 11.The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form I-9 or to print the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form I-9. 12.The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from SSA or DHS (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) pursuant to E-Verify and this MOU only to confirm the employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU. The Employer agrees that it will safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS and passwords) to ensure that it is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its confidentiality, including ensuring that it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the Employer who are authorized to perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for such dissemination as may be authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes. 13.The Employer acknowledges that the information which it receives through the E-Verify Employer Agent from SSA is governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and that any person who obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties. 14.The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and evaluation of E-Verify, including by permitting DHS and SSA, upon reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its employees regarding the Employer’s use of E-Verify, and to respond in a timely and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E- Verify.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS WITH THE FAR E-VERIFY CLAUSE 1.The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any existing employee assigned to the contract and all new hires, as discussed in the Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer may not reverify the employee through E-Verify. a.Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause agree to become familiar with and comply with the most recent versions of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors and the E-Verify Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. b.Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause agree to complete a tutorial for Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause. c.Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause not enrolled at the time of contract award: An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract award must enroll as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause in E-Verify within 30 calendar days of contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of employment eligibility of new hires of the Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires, such verification of new hires must be initiated within 3 business days after the date of hire. Once enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause, the Employer must initiate verification of employees assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days from the time of enrollment in the system and then selecting which employees will be verified in E-Verify or within 30 days of an employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later. d.Employer that are already enrolled in E-Verify at the time of a contract award but are not enrolled in the system as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause: Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a contract award must use E-Verify to initiate verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within 3 business days after the date of hire. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as other than a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause, must update E-Verify to indicate that they are a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause within 30 days after assignment to the contract. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new hires must be initiated within 3 business days Company ID Number: 41837 Client Company ID Number: 652762 Page 8 of 15 |E-Verify MOU for Employer (Client) using a E-Verify Employer Agent | Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause in E-Verify must initiate verification of each employee assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the contract, whichever is later. e.Institutions of higher education, State, local and tribal governments and sureties: Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)), State or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties performing under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency pursuant to a performance bond may choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such Federal contractors with the FAR E- Verify clause may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired after November 6, 1986. The provisions of Article II, part D, paragraphs 1.a and 1.b of this MOU providing timeframes for initiating employment verification of employees assigned to a contract apply to such institutions of higher education, State, local , tribal governments, and sureties. f.Verification of all employees: Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause may elect to verify employment eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6, 1986, instead of verifying only new employees and those existing employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After enrollment, Employers must elect to do so only in the manner designated by DHS and initiate E-Verify verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election. g.Form I-9 procedures for existing employees of Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause: Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause (through their E-Verify Employer Agent) may choose to complete new Forms I-9 for all existing employees other than those that are completely exempt from this process. Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause may also update previously completed Forms I-9 to initiate E-Verify verification of existing employees who are not completely exempt as long as that Form I-9 is complete (including the SSN), complies with Article II.C.4, the employee’s work authorization has not expired, and the Employer has reviewed the information reflected in the Form I-9 either in person or in communications with the employee to ensure that the employee’s stated basis in section 1 of the Form I-9 for work authorization has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien having become a naturalized U.S. citizen). If the Employer is unable to determine that the Form I-9 complies with Article II.C.4, if the employee’s basis for work authorization as attested in section 1 has expired or changed, or if the Form I-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete, the Employer shall complete a new I-9 consistent with Article II.C.4, or update the previous I-9 to provide the necessary information. If section 1 of the Form I-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise complies with Article II.C.4, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-551) that expired subsequent Company ID Number: 41837 Client Company ID Number: 652762 Page 9 of 15 |E-Verify MOU for Employer (Client) using a E-Verify Employer Agent | Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify to completion of the Form I-9, the Employer shall not require the production of additional documentation, or use the photo screening tool described in Article II.C.4, subject to any additional or superseding instructions that may be provided on this subject in the Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU, or to authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause. 2.The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause, its compliance with this MOU is a performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer’s compliance with Federal contracting requirements.

In all cases, the E-Verify Employer Agent will use the SSA verification procedures first, and will use DHS verification procedures only as directed by the SSA verification response. 7.The E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and evaluation of E-Verify, including by permitting DHS and SSA, upon reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its employees regarding the use of E-Verify, and to respond in a timely and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E- Verify. AR TICLE III REFERRAL OF INDIVIDUALS TO SSA AND DHS A. REFERRAL TO SSA 1.If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by SSA, the Employer must print the tentative nonconfirmation notice as directed by the automated system and provide it to the employee so that the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation. 2.The Employer will refer employees to SSA field offices only as directed by the automated system based on a tentative nonconfirmation, and only after the Employer records the case verification number, reviews the input to detect any transaction errors, and determines that the employee contests the tentative nonconfirmation. The Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent), will transmit the Social Security Number to SSA for verification again if this review indicates a need to do so. The Employer will determine whether the employee contests the tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives it. 3.If the employee contests an SSA tentative nonconfirmation, the Employer will provide the employee with a system-generated referral letter and instruct the employee to visit an SSA office within 8 Federal Government work days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) within 10 Federal Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.

The Employer will determine whether the employee contests the tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives it. 4.If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will provide the employee with a referral letter and instruct the employee to contact DHS through its toll-free hotline (as found on the referral letter) within 8 Federal Government work days. 5.If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo non-match, the Employer will provide the employee with a referral letter to DHS.

ARTICLE IV SERVICE PROVISIONS Company ID Number: 41837 Client Company ID Number: 652762 Page 12 of 15 |E-Verify MOU for Employer (Client) using a E-Verify Employer Agent | Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify The SSA and DHS will not charge the Employer or the E-Verify Employer Agent for verification services performed under this MOU. DHS is not responsible for providing the equipment needed to make inquiries. A personal computer with Internet access is needed to access the E-Verify System. AR TICLE V PARTIES A.This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties, and shall continue in effect for as long as the SSA and DHS conduct the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all parties, or terminated by any party upon 30 days prior written notice to the others. Any and all system enhancements to the E-Verify program by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to the E-Verify checking against additional data sources and instituting new verification procedures, will be covered under this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these changes. DHS agrees to train employers on all changes made to E-Verify through the use of mandatory refresher tutorials and updates to the E-Verify User Manual, the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors, or the E-Verify Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. Even without changes to E- Verify, DHS reserves the right to require employers to take mandatory refresher tutorials. An Employer that is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause may terminate this MOU when the Federal contract that requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such a circumstance, the Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause must provide written notice to DHS. If an Employer that is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause fails to provide such notice, that Employer will remain a participant in the E- Verify program, will remain bound by the terms of this MOU that apply to participants that are not Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause, and will be required to use the E- Verify procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees. B.Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate access to E-Verify if it is deemed necessary because of the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a breach of system integrity or security by the E-Verify Employer Agent or the Employer, or a failure on the part of either to comply with established procedures or legal requirements. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause, termination of this MOU by any party for any reason may negatively affect the Employer’s performance of its contractual responsibilities. C.Some or all SSA and DHS responsibilities under this MOU may be performed by contractor(s), and SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as they may determine necessary. By separate agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU. D.Nothing in this MOU is intended, or should be construed, to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or employees, or against the E-Verify Employer Agent, the Employer, or their agents, officers, or employees.
