R -- CHECK VERIFICATION SOL CFOPD-00-R-007 DUE 013100 POC Woody Cartis (202) 727-3897 WEB: CFOPD-00-R-007, wcartis-cfo@dcgov.org. E-MAIL: wcartis-cfo@dcgov.org, wcartis-cfo@dcgov.org. The Government of the District of Columbia, Office of Finance and Treasury (OFT) currently processes approximately 558,000 checks annually with an estimated value of $1.5 billion. It is expected that check verification and collection services will reduce the District's bad check (or "bounced") check costs and increase the District's revenue. A bad check is any check returned by the District's financial institution(s) unpaid. Currently, the District does not utilize check verification services and returned checks are collected by the Office of Finance and Treasury. Check verification will be implemented in up to ten (10) cashiering locations with the possibility of expansion. The successful vendor will be expected to provide the District with check verification services which will provide point-of-sale locations with timely and accurate information regarding the check and check writer, upon which a decision of acceptance or non-acceptance of the check can be readily determined. The successful vendor will also be expected to provide the District with collection services of dishonored "bad" checks during the first 75 days from the date of receipt of the check by the vendor. The equipment with check verification capability now in place is MAGTEK Model: PN 22132001, MICR MAXI RS232 TK1, 2 XT/PS2 with MSR. The interface is IBM 4694.
