CITY OF PITTSBURG, KS – BANKING SERVICES RFP
I. GENERAL BACKGROUND
The City of Pittsburg (the City) is requesting competitive proposals from eligible financial institutions to act
as the City’s depository institution for the period of three years, effective on the first of the following fiscal
year, with additional one-year renewal options. The City is also intent on finding financial institutions with
sustainability focus in addition to banking services. Eligible institutions must meet the requirements of
K.S.A. 12-1675 and meet the minimum qualifications as stated within this Request for Proposal. Banking
services and charges will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure the equity of the agreement for both
parties. It is the intent of the City to have one financial institution provide the banking needs for the City’s
main operating account.
The intent of this Request for Proposal is to provide qualified financial institutions an equal opportunity to
submit proposals to handle the City’s bank accounts and services. Banking services not requested in this
proposal can be negotiated between the City and the selected bank if required at a later date.
II. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
The following indicates the minimum qualifications and criteria for a bank’s proposal to be eligible for
consideration and evaluation. Specific responses to each requirement must be provided in your proposal.
• Be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
• Be eligible to be a depository of City funds pursuant to K.S.A. 9-1401 and 9-1408, et. seq., as amended with
full-service branch in the City limits of Pittsburg. All responding banks must complete Exhibit A.

• Be able to provide 100% collateralization of all City deposits with collateral in compliance with the City
Investment Policy.
• Provide credit information from a nationally recognized rating organization such as Moody’s, Standard &
Poor’s, etc.
• Have the capacity of providing all Required Services internally. The City prefers that the responding bank
provide services without the use of joint ventures, consortiums, or contract service providers because of
control issues. The City will determine the acceptability of any arrangements with the objective of the RFP
being the total solution.
• Maintain a financial institution bond, Form 24 or equivalent, with a limit of not less than $3,000,000 banker’s
professional liability in the amount of $2,000,000 per occurrence/annual aggregate and valuable paper
coverage.
