C.ASS C° � Office o the Sheri <br /> GOVERNMENT <br /> MAIM Paul D. Laney, Sheriff <br /> July 2, 2014 <br /> RECEIVED <br /> Darrell Vanyo, Portfolio Commissioner <br /> Cass County Commission JUL 7 2014 <br /> Cass County Courthouse <br /> Fargo, ND 58103 CASS COUNTY COMMISSION <br /> Re: Professional Services Agreement Amendment with Securus <br /> Chairman Ken Pawluk, <br /> The service is anticipated (demonstrated through actual results experienced in similar facilities, Grand <br /> Forks for one)to reduce the number of phone calls that require an actual human to resolve by 90%. <br /> This could be upwards of 150 hours per month saved. <br /> Two things would be required by Securus for the discounted rate of$1.00 monthly per Average Daily <br /> Population (Approx. 250). <br /> 1. The enabling of an additional voicemail feature, costing$3.95 per message,on a pay-per- <br /> view type system that would be in addition to the free voicemail that is available for people <br /> who set up an account with secures. This feature would enable people to direct bill for <br /> single messages if they don't have an account or don't want one. <br /> 2. The second feature they require is the ability to accept credit card deposits for funding <br /> inmate accounts. They would direct deposit funds to our checking account, and send up <br /> daily reports of the amounts deposited so we could manually credit inmate accounts. This <br /> would only be for commissary funding, not bond. It will not conflict with turnkey contract, <br /> and even if 20 deposits come in per day there would be more than enough time to enter <br /> them since we'd be answering so many fewer phone calls. <br /> Cost without those two features would be$3.00 monthly for the automated phone service. <br /> Fargo IT estimates their billing to Cass County would be$800-$1200 to set up the direct feed capabilities <br /> for data. <br /> A copy of the agreement has been provided to our States Attorney for his review. <br /> Cass County Sheriff Cass County Jail Cass County Detention <br /> 211 9 St.S. 450 3tAt.S. 450 34 St. S. <br /> PO Box 488 Fargo, Nb 58103-2229 Fargo, ND 58103-2229 <br /> Fargo, ND 58107-0488 Phone: 701-271-2900 Phone: 701-241-5845 <br /> Phone: 701-241-5800 Fax: 701-271-2967 Fax: 701-241-5936 <br /> Fax: 701-241-5805 <br />
