Business License, Commercial Parking, Transient Occupancy Tax, Sales Tax, and Property Tax Services

The City of South San Francisco (City) is seeking proposals from qualified firms (Consultant(s)) to preform all business license, commercial parking, transit occupancy, sales tax and property tax services, including administration, reporting, and auditing. Respondents can bid on any or all of the requested services but must provide a combined proposal and the City retains the right to select only part of the offering. All proposals must be in the format specified. Responding firms shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in preparing proposals in response to this request. The City may select based on proposal alone or may narrow the field to the top firms based on strength of proposal, and then conduct interviews to finalize a selection(s). The City will then initiate contract negotiations with the selected Consultant(s). Pending successful negotiations, the City will have the Consultant(s) execute the City’s Standard Professional Services Agreement (Attachment A). There is no expressed or implied obligation for the City to reimburse responding firms for any expenses incurred in preparing proposals in response to this request. Materials submitted by respondents are subject to public inspection under the California Public Records Act (Government Code Sec. 6250 et seq.), unless the information is labeled confidential and proprietary. It is the intent of the City to award the contract for an initial three-year period with the option to renew for two successive one-year periods at the sole discretion of the City. The City desires a pricing schedule for the entire contract period, with a preset inflation factor. Proposals will be considered only from parties that are free of all obligation and interests that may conflict with the best interest of the City and have the capacity to provide services on a timely basis.
