Pre-Collect Time Payment Services

The King County District Court in Seattle, Washington, is seeking a contractor to provide pre-collect time payment services for the collection of parking, infraction, and criminal obligations, including penalties, fines, and fees. This service supports defendants and debtors who cannot timely pay their court legal financial obligations. The agency requires these services to manage outstanding court debts effectively before they escalate to standard collections. The selected contractor must operate and maintain a secure website that accepts online payments via electronic checks, Visa, and MasterCard. Additionally, the scope of work includes operating a walk-in payment center and providing telephonic customer service. The contractor must also produce and mail pre-collect notices, send default notices warning of potential collection referrals, notify the District Court of defaults, and provide statistical data and reports on pre-collections. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States, and the performance of the work will take place offsite. The contract period will span one year, and the agency is currently looking for budget proposals. Bidders must attend a pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 18, 2026, and may submit their responses digitally via email or online.
