DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive Recreational Advisory Council (RAC) services. The contracted vendor will ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with City fiscal standards across 128 RAC accounts by implementing a transparent and uniform financial framework.

A major responsibility involves transitioning RAC bank accounts from volunteer management to City-managed accounts, supported by a fiscal intermediary. This transition will streamline processes and reduce administrative burdens on RAC volunteers. Additional objectives include centralizing fee management to promote equitable fund distribution, regardless of each recreation center's capacity or fundraising capability.

The vendor is expected to enhance the efficiency and reliability of financial processing for vendor payments and program purchases, enabling recreation centers to provide timely and high-quality programs to their communities. Establishing robust recordkeeping and reporting practices is essential, supporting audit readiness, data-driven decision-making, and fostering trust among the Department of Parks and Recreation, RACs, and the broader community.
