The city in Ohio is seeking a qualified vendor to implement an automated bulk water sales solution designed to enhance customer convenience, operational efficiency, and billing accuracy. This initiative aims to modernize the city's bulk water dispensing infrastructure, offering automated payment processing, real-time system monitoring, precise metering, and robust reporting capabilities. The solution will serve both commercial and residential customers requiring bulk water sales.

Key requirements include an industrial-grade, automated valve control system capable of remote activation or deactivation based on customer authorization, along with fail-safe mechanisms to prevent unauthorized use. The system should support various fill point configurations, such as overhead booms for large trucks and accessible connections for smaller tanks, and provide both high-flow and low-flow discharge options. Audio and visual indicators must communicate transaction status to users.

Comprehensive and secure payment processing is essential, with support for major credit and debit cards (Mastercard, VISA, Discover, American Express) and advanced, contactless methods such as tap-to-pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. The solution must adhere to industry-leading security standards, including encryption, tokenization, EMV, and PCI compliance. The initial contract period is set for one year.
