Issue:    Amendment of Agreement for Video Visitation Solutions
From: PAUL NOBLES
Department: Asst County Administrator  
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning Amendment of Agreement for Video Visitation Solutions - Chief William R. Powell, Director, Corrections Department and Paul R. Nobles, Purchasing Manager, Office of Purchasing

That the Board approve and authorize the County Administrator to sign the Amendment of Agreement for PD 17-18.022, Video Visitation Solutions, retroactive to December 9, 2019, which will result in the elimination of approximately $30,000 per year in expenditure for the Corrections Department.

PD 17-18.022 includes a cost from the vendor (Global Tel*Link) for their employee to maintain and repair the Video Visitation stations on an as-needed basis. On November 7, 2019, Global Tel*Link was awarded the agreement for PD 18-19.075, Inmate Telephone Services and their proposal included a full-time staff member to maintain and repair the phone systems. Since there would be a full-time staff member on-site, the proposal from Global Tel*Link for PD 18-19.075 included the waiving of the repair and maintenance fees related to PD 17-18.022.

[Funding:  Fund 111, Detention/Jail Commissary; Cost Center 290406, Detention/Jail Commissary; Object Code 54601, Repair and Maintenance Services]

Immediately after the discussions with the firms, the Selection Committee unanimously selected global Tel*Link the first ranked firm.

The original cost of the software support and updates as well as repair and maintenance for PD 17-18.022 Video Visitation was $28,731.00 for the first year, with annual increases authorized up to 3.5% per year. Year Two pricing was $29,736.59 and Year Three (current year) was slated to be $30,742.17. This Amendment of Agreement will remove approximately $24,000 from Fiscal Year 2019-2020, $31,818.15 from next year, and $32,931.78 from the final year of the Agreement, a total savings to the County of approximately $88,749.93.
