Amendment+4.pdf

This document is a Contract Amendment (Amendment Number 4) for the Inmate Telephone and Video Visitation Contract between the State of North Dakota, acting through its Information Technology Department and Budget State Procurement Office, and Securus Technologies, LLC. The amendment involves cooperation between the state agencies and the contractor to modify the existing contract.

The amendment focuses on updating the Scope of Services, specifically in two key areas. First, it replaces the Instant Pay™ program with AdvanceConnect Single Call™, which allows family members and friends to pre-pay for calls originating from correctional facilities. The new system provides consumers the option to pre-pay for multiple calls or a single call, with transactions rated at the FCC-regulated fee (currently $3 for automated transactions) plus applicable per-minute and tax rates. Second, the amendment adds an Outbound Voicemail feature that enables friends and family to retrieve voicemails from inmates' call logs, with the inmate receiving a text message with a link to pay for and listen to the message. Outbound Voicemail calls will be commissioned similarly to collect calls, with per-minute rates including applicable federal, state, and local taxes.
