1 Introduction and Background The Community College League of California is a nonprofit public benefit corporation whose voluntary membership consists of the 72 local community college districts in California. The mission of the League is to promote student access and success by strengthening colleges through leadership development, advocacy, policy development, and district services. To that end, the League operates a variety of services for the colleges including financial services. The state of California is home to 112 community college campuses, divided into 72 districts. The colleges graduate about 30% of all community college students in the country, and see in total about 3.5 million students per year. Each college functions under local control and decides on which merchant banking they will use. The League is seeking proposals from qualified providers of bankcard merchant services for various retail sales operations in multiple locations across the state. The League intends to form multiple consortia of colleges/districts based on the gateway each district uses. The League estimates that the districts see over $1 billion in total annual sales volume. Districts typically primarily use web and cashier windows to complete credit card transactions. Bookstore sales are not included in the scope of this RFP, but may be included at some campuses. Section I The objectives of this request are to: Secure a provider of debit and credit card processing services, along with other related merchant services to participating college/district Secure best pricing for participating college/district Ensure timely and reliable authorization of credit/debit transactions Secure reporting tools that meet the needs of the individual colleges/districts Establish a single point of contact for coordination of all activities related to merchant credit card services, including adding additional terminal locations, problem resolution (for billing, settlement and reporting) as well as recommending proactive security measures and new technologies when appropriate.

7 Frequently Asked Questions Q: What kind of software would the processor have to try and integrate with in order to process for some of these schools? Do they all use the same system, or are there a few different ones that you encourage schools within the league to use? A: Disricts will be using different softwares. Certainly if there is a particular software a vendor works with, we can ask the consortia to all move to that software assuming it does not create an undue hardship on any district. Page 1: The Community College League of California is a nonprofit public benefit corporation whose voluntary membership consists of the 72 local community college districts in California. / / The state of California is home to 112 community college campuses, divided into 72 districts. The colleges graduate about 30% of all community college students in the country, and see in total about 3.5 million students per year. Each college functions under local control and decides on which merchant banking they will use. Q1: Has the League sought proposals for banking or cash management services in the past? If so, what has been the experience with regard to the percentage of schools that have participated in the awarded bid? A1: This is not an area the League has sought proposals in before. Q2: Would the League be able to offer some estimates regarding potential volumes from schools that may seriously consider a switch following the contract award? A2: Overall we estimate that the system sees at least $ million in volume each year. It's difficult to determine what the volume will be initially from the consortia but we anticipate a floor of $50 million. Page 1: The League intends to form multiple consortia of colleges/districts based on the gateway each district uses. Q1: Would the League anticipate the forming of these groups prior to or after the proposal is accepted? A2: We anticipate the consortia to be formed during the next few months. Ideally the consortia would be an open group so that districts can join at any time. Q2: If there are any colleges or groups of colleges that have indicated they will seriously consider a switch following the award, would the League be able to furnish more detail around the processing environment and transaction volumes specific to those campuses. A2: Several districts have expressed interest. However, details will not be available until after the RFP process is completed.

8 Page 2 : C. References representing customers of similar size. Q1: Could the League please advise what it anticipates will be the eventual size of the award? A2: A floor of $50 million. Page 2: Respondent must have an authorization and settlement system, ability to integrate software, offer web based services and have central control capabilities. Respondent must have front to back end full- fledged processing capability, flat fee processing capability, and print online technology. Q1: Could the League please expand on what it is seeking in flat fee processing capability as well as print online technology? A2: One of the primary goals is to produce cost savings for the districts, so the ability for a firm to process under a flat fee scenario could be useful, but is not mandatory. Online technology should be accessible for districts to examine and to have access to printed reports for reconciliation. Page 3: Acceptance will be based upon a combination of suitability to the League s current and future needs, implementation, schedule and terms, reliability, Q1: With regard to the Leagues current and future needs, can the League please expand on whether the member schools are currently charging students or parents convenience fees for tuition payments? A2: Currently districts have varying structures for fees. Q2: Have any member schools implemented advanced security features, such as card number tokenization? If so, through which company/companies is this service currently provided? A2: Currently districts have varying structures for security features. Updated October 16, 2013
