ITEM BACKGROUND:
We have received several solicitations for purchasing cards. Monroe County School Board and Keys
Energy both have purchasing cards. We would like to explore the best arrangement for Monroe
County and insure proper controls are in place to safeguard the assets of the County. If possible, we
would piggyback onto another agreement. A provider will be sought that provides a cash back
incentive for card users. The cash back component will result in savings to the County for routine
