The Town of Brewster, through its’ Town Administrator, is soliciting bids for credit card and
debit processing for the Town owned Captains Golf Course. This request calls for bids on a cost
plus basis. The term of the contract is for two years with a one year option at the discretion of the
Town. Massachusetts State Law prohibits any language that would include an automatic renewal
of the contract at the end of the contract term. The processor must offer acceptance of Visa,
Mastercard, Discover, American Express and Apple Pay as defined in the Scope of Services. The
processor software must fully interface with the golf course’s Chelsea Information Systems POS
software, meaning that the card transaction must be able to be swiped directly into the Chelsea
Information Systems software. The Captains Golf Course accepts credit and debit cards for all
golf services including, green fees, golf cart fees, driving range fees, and pro shop merchandise.
The golf course membership fees are through a separate third party vendor. The food and
beverage operation is leased out and these transactions are not run through the golf course
processor. The Captains Golf Course is a 36-hole public golf facility and operates year round.
Sealed bids must be received in the Office of the Town Administrator, 2198 Main Street,
Brewster, MA 02631 by Tuesday June 8, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at which time and place said bids

Course Credit Card Bid.” The Town reserves the right to reject any and all offers if not deemed
