Title
Click2Gov Software Purchase - Approval
History
The MIS Division has included $26,620 in the FY 2008-09 budget for the purchase of the Click2Gov software module that will allow the Village to accept credit card payments for water bills over the Internet.
The Click2Gov gateway is the first step in providing citizens and employees with interactive Web access to services. The Village deployed this gateway in 2006 for Click2Gov Wireless Building Inspections; which enables building inspectors working in the field to supply and receive timely, accurate information related to inspections.
The Click2Gov Wireless Code Inspections was implemented earlier this year to enable code enforcement inspectors to use mobile devices with wireless technology to perform routine inspections and supply and receive information on cases.
The proposed Click2Gov for CIS will provide our residents with the ability to pay their utility bills over a secure Internet connection using a credit card.
The other features included with Click2Gov for CIS:
• Secure login/authentication
• Account inquiry
• Payment history
• Consumption history (table & graph)
• Billing history
• Service summary
• Account edit capabilities (PIN, email, address)
The OnePoint core module included in the proposal is the payment processing engine, and is required for the C2G module to accept and process credit cards. The payments are authorized in real-time and use the NaviLine Cash Receipts module for posting payments to customer accounts and the general ledger.
OnePoint supports bank cards only; which would be a true credit card or a debit card with a Visa or Master Card logo that can be used without a PIN.
Financial Impact
The total amount budgeted for this project is $26,620.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of the Click2Gov module including license fees, installation services and maintenance in an amount not to exceed $26,620.
