Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Bristol, Tennessee Finance Department is responsible for utility services such as water, sewer, stormwater, and refuse as well as citations and parking tickets, ambulance charges, and standard invoicing on behalf of the City. It is the desire of the Finance Department to seek proposals for collection agency services to assist the City in collecting receivables when the methods outlined in the City’s policy have failed. The Agency chosen would be responsible for any receivables that were not collected using the City’s current collection methods. The City typically turns over to a collection agency an average of 117 accounts per month with an approximate value of $7,508.00 per month. This average excludes ambulance charges. Historically, these accounts have not been sent to collections. However, they are within the scope of this proposal.
