PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
The Forsyth County Board
of Commissioner’s is soliciting sealed Proposals from qualified firms
interested in providing Merchant Services.
The County is seeking a solution, as such the Proposals submitted will
be evaluated based upon criteria formulated around the most important features
of a product or service, of which quality, testing, references, availability or
capability may be overriding factors, and price may not be the determining
factor. The proposal evaluation criteria
should be viewed as standards which measure how well a supplier’s approach
meets the desired requirements and needs of the County. The County will thoroughly review all valid
proposals received. The County reserves
the right to select, and subsequently recommend for award, the proposed service
which best meets its required needs, quality levels, and budget constraints.

every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of
