Summary:  In collaboration with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, the Bureau of Technology seeks to extend the term of Contract No. 08-45-256 by 9 months and lower the cost of telephone calls that detainees in County facilities place to family, friends, and private defense counsel.

 

The proposed amendment will significantly lower the cost of detainee phone calls by reducing account funding fees by approximately 43%, lowering the contractual per-minute call rate by approximately 14%, and securing a competitive flat rate for international calls.  The extension will provide the County with service while County agencies complete an ongoing competitive RFP process for a new communications system at Cook County jails and detention centers.

 

Request for Proposals (RFP) procedures were followed in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code.  Securus Technologies, Inc. was awarded based on established evaluation criteria.
