RE:

Amendment #002 to Contract C211 019001

Karen S. Boeger
Director

DATE: February 22, 2016

The State of Missouri amended contract C211019001 to address the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) order that was issued on October 22, 2015 and outlined in the December 18, 2015
Federal Register per the attached 1/29/16 email from Amy Roderick of the Department of Corrections. In
order to be in compliance with the federal law, as required in contract paragraph 2.1.5, the following rates
have been revised:
Per Transaction Set-up Fee for Pre-Paid Account
The FCC order established a dollar cap of $3.00 on ancillary charges assessed for automated payment
fees. The state's contracted rate was $6.95 per transaction, which exceeded the allowed rate identified in
the FCC order. Therefore, the Per Transaction Set-up Fee for Pre-Paid Accounts has been changed from
$6.95 to $3.00.
Set-up Charge per Collect Call
The FCC order indicated provider shall not impose a per-call or per-connection charge on a customer.
The state's contract included a $1.00 per call rate to set up collect calls, which is now prohibited by the
FCC order.· Therefore, the Set-up Charge per Collect Call has been changed from $1.00 to $0.00.
There are several vendors, including Securus, which have initially rejected the FCC order and filed
counter suits. Therefore, if a new ruling is made, the contract will be revised to reflect the new ruling.

Subject:

Karen,
Per our conversation. The FCC order issued October 22, 2015, was published in the Federal Register December 18,
2015. Any amendments to the contracts for prisons should be completed by March 17, 2016. I believe our contract
with Securus needs reviewed for an amendment related to the Per Transaction Set-Up Fee for Pre-Paid Account and Set
Up Charge per Collect call. Currently, Securus charges $6.95 each transaction and $1.00 set up per collect call. On pages
161 and 162 of the FCC order, is outlined the allowable rates for ancillary service charges. For the $6.95 fee, It may need
to be amended to $3.00 and for the collect call fee, it may need to be $0. I am requesting a legal review of the FCC
register to determine if an amendment needs to be completed related to these two fees.
I have attached the Federal Register for the FCC order, which is also attached.

Rick and Matt, If you need a copy of the contract with the current charges, just let me know and I will get that to you.
Thank you,

Robert E. Pickens, Chief Operating Officer
Securus Technologies, Inc.
14651 Dallas Parkway, 6m Floor
Dallas, TX 75254
Dear Mr. Pickens:
With the enclosed amendment to Contract C2ll019001 for Offender Telephone System, the State of
Missouri is exercising its first renewal option pursuant to section 3.2.1 of the contract. As specified in
section 3.2.1, all terms, conditions, and prices remain the same during the renewal period. Although the
renewal does not require your signature, I would appreciate your acknowledging receipt of the renewal.
Please be advised the state intends tQ rebid the offender phone service contract. At this time the State of
Missouri has not identified an issuance date for the Request for Proposal to rebid this service; however, I
anticipate the RFP will be issued during the term of this renewal. Upon award of the new contract under
the RFP, the State of Missouri will work closely with Securus on any necessary transition. Such an award
and transition may occur prior to expiration of the frrst renewal period (i.e. June 27, 20 17), but the
specific timing is unknown at this point.
The State of Missouri's decision to rebid is not a reflection of dissatisfaction with Securus' performance
under the contract. Instead, the state desires to consider potential technology or service offerings that may
be available in the market.
The State of Missouri appreciates Securus' ongoing service under the contract and looks forward to your
participation in the upcoming rebid.
Sincerely,

~~

Brent Dixon, CPPB
