Contract shall include all labor, materials, the transportation, equipment and other activities for,
and reasonably incidental to, making the Services operational. It also includes furnishing,
installing, interfacing, operating, maintaining, and billing (if applicable) the Services described in
this Contract and the appendices, exhibits and other attachments hereto. Silence of the
Contract regarding delivery of Services normally offered with respect to the deliverables
requested in the Contract does not constitute any waiver of Services by DOC.
Without limiting any of the requirements contained in Appendix 2.01, Contractor agrees to: (a)
make available to offenders MP3 Players, Music downloads and E-mail; (b) install, maintain,
and keep in operation all equipment, and hardware as specified in Appendix 2.01, at
Contractor's expense; (c) install as required and maintain monitoring systems facilities at no
cost to DOC; (d) provide initial new product and refresher training to DOC personnel as
reasonably requested by DOC on the operation of the kiosk systems at Contractor's expense;
(e) service and repair all kiosks and associated equipment at Contractor's expense; (f) retain

is required by DOC on any Contractor personnel intending to enter a correctional facility.
During the Term of this Contract, Contractor shall replace or keep in operation, and maintain the
kiosks located in DOC facilities at such levels that will ensure regular usage by inmate
population. Contractor will conduct periodic traffic studies to determine average use, and in the
event that said studies support an increase or decrease in kiosk count at a DOC facility,
Contractor will make the necessary change after written notification to and approval by DOC.
The foregoing notwithstanding, Contractor shall remove any kiosk requested to be removed by
DOC. Before Contractor is required to install any new kiosk, Contractor must first receive written
authorization from DOC. It is understood that kiosks are located at DOC prison facilities; and
that such facilities may open or close during the contract term.
Contractor may request that DOC consider allowing Contractor to remove certain kiosks that
Contractor claims to be uneconomical to Contractor; provided, however that this provision does
not create any right in Contractor to have any such kiosks removed, and the decision of whether
to remove such kiosks shall be made by DOC in its sole discretion.
Unless a longer period is mutually agreed to by the Parties, Contractor shall install any new
kiosk within thirty (30) days of the delivery to Contractor of a Written Authorization (as described
below) directing Contractor to install such new kiosks. The foregoing notwithstanding, subject to
the prior written consent of DOC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Contractor may
request a period of time longer than thirty (30) days to install a particular new kiosk that
Contractor cannot reasonably install, within such thirty (30) day period. It is understood that to
install a new kiosks the DOC must ensure that the proper conduit, station wiring, and electricity
is installed to support the use and location of the kiosk.
All Equipment, including, but not limited to, all kiosks, shall be new or "Like-New". Contractor
agrees that all of the Equipment used by Contractor, shall be identical, equivalent or better than
that equipment described in the Response, unless DOC consents in writing to any different
equipment, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

the extent that Contractor and Subcontractors can provide such assistance. Contractor shall
provide this assistance at no added cost to DOC. Each such Written Authorization shall be
approved and issued only by DOC.

Section 2.03

NEW TECHNOLOGY

When new technology, either equipment or services related to the Services, becomes available,
Contractor agrees to notify DOC within a reasonable time after such availability so that DOC
can consider whether such new technology should be utilized by Contractor in rendering the
Services. DOC shall have the option, in DOC's sole discretion, to have such new technology
utilized by Contractor to render the Services as soon as practical or at such later time as DOC
shall determine; provided that the Parties mutually agree that such new technology does not
materially increase Contractor's costs of rendering the Services to be affected by such
technology.
In considering whether or not to extend the term of this Contract after the Initial Term, DOC may

new technology. In addition, any change to this Contract requiring the use of new technology at
DOC facilities must provide for initial new product and refresher training for DOC personnel in

or probation term has taken place, it is the responsibility of Contractor to immediately notify
DOC and seek written permission to continue use of subject personnel.
Failure to Notify: Without limiting the other remedies available to DOC for this or any other
breach by Contractor under this Contract, should Contractor fail to notify DOC, when
Contractor learns of the same, of personnel with criminal arrest or conviction records, or any
status change, or be unable to provide suitable personnel, with respect to personnel working

Unacceptable Personnel Notification: DOC may notify Contractor when it finds any Key
Personnel or other Contractor personnel, or proposed replacement therefore, unacceptable

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

Mediation: Each Party agrees not to institute any Proceeding in connection with this Contract

any action or proceeding involving temporary or emergency relief, or the enforcement of this
clause itself.
Choosing a Mediator: If a dispute arises under this Contract, the Parties shall discuss the
desired qualifications of the mediator. Either Party may suggest one or more candidates, or may
recommend that the mediator be chosen from a roster. The mediator must be selected by
agreement of both Parties. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the Other Party any
circumstances, which would cause reasonable doubt regarding the impartiality of the individual
under consideration or appointed as mediator. Any such individual shall promptly disclose any
such circumstances to the Parties. If any circumstances have been disclosed, before or after the
individual's appointment as mediator, the individual shall not serve, unless the Parties agree.
Mediator Compensation: The mediator's compensation rate will be determined at or before his
or her appointment. Such compensation, and any other costs of the mediation, will be shared
equally by the Parties, unless otherwise agreed.
Mediation Ground Rules: The ground rules for the mediation shall be:
(a) The process is voluntary and non-binding. Either Party may withdraw at anytime by
notifying the mediator and the other Party in writing of its intent to withdraw.
(b) The mediator shall be neutral and impartial.

hold joint meetings. The mediator will fix the time and place of each session and the
agenda, in consultation with the Parties.

attorney. To the fullest extent possible under the law, at least one representative of each
Party will be authorized to negotiate a settlement of the dispute.
(h) The process will be conducted expeditiously. Each representative will make every effort
to be available for meetings.
(i) The mediator will not transmit information given to him or her by either Party to another
party, unless authorized to do so.
(j) To the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the law, the entire process will be
confidential. The Parties and the mediator will not disclose information regarding the
process, including settlement terms, to third parties, unless the Parties otherwise agreed or
unless required by law to do so. The process shall be treated as a compromise negotiation
for the purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and Washington Evidence Code. The
mediator will not be disqualified as a witness, consultant or expert in any pending or future
action relating to the subject matter of the mediation including those between Persons not
parties to the mediation.
(k) The mediator, if a lawyer, may freely express his or her views to the Parties on the legal
issues of the dispute, unless a Party objects to him or her so doing.

of and at the expense of the Parties.
(m) The mediator will not be liable for any act or omission in connection with his or her role
as a mediator.

they can do so without prejudicing their legal rights. If litigation is pending between the
Parties regarding the subject matter of the mediation, the Parties may agree to inform the
court of the mediation process and the name of the mediator, and they may request a stay
of court proceedings. Insofar as possible, discovery will be suspended while mediation is
ongoing.
Preliminary Meetings: Once a mediator is selected, the Parties will meet jointly with the mediator
to discuss the above ground roles and any different or additional ground rules the mediator or
either Party wishes to propose. The Parties and the mediator may agree on whether the Parties
will be the first to make settlement proposals, or whether they wish the mediator to make such a
proposal once he or she has familiarized herself with the dispute.
Submission of Material: Upon entering into mediation each Party shall submit to the mediator
such material and information as it deems necessary to familiarize the mediator with the
dispute. The mediator may request any Party to provide clarification and additional information.
The mediator may request each Party, separately or at a joint meeting, to present its case
informally to the mediator.
Negotiation of Settlement Terms: Once the mediator has familiarized himself or herself
with the case, he or she will hold discussions with the representatives of the Parties. The
mediator will decide when to meet or confer separately with each Party, and when to hold joint
meetings. The mediator may assist the Parties in arriving at a settlement in a variety of ways.

If the Parties fail to develop mutually acceptable settlement terms, the mediator, before
terminating the procedure, may submit to the parties a final settlement proposal that he or she
considers equitable to all Parties. The Parties will carefully consider such proposal and at the
request of the mediator will discuss the proposal with him or her. Efforts to reach a settlement
will continue until (a) a settlement is reached, or (b) one of the Parties withdraws from the
process, or (c) the mediator concludes and informs the Parties that further efforts would not be
useful.
If a settlement is reached, the mediator, or one of the Parties at the mediator's request,
will draft a written settlement document incorporating all settlement terms. The draft will be
circulated among the Parties, edited as necessary, and if acceptable, formally executed.

APPENDIX 2.01 SERVICE
Contractor agrees to provide to DOC, the following Services:
1. Wall-mounted, hardened, computer terminal kiosks designed to host a variety of
offender service applications. The kiosk applications may be used by offenders to
perform everyday tasks such as:
• Downloading digital media to an MP3 player
• Sending and receiving e-Messages (Email)
• Offender banking
• Ordering commissary
• Conducting video visits.
• Incoming e-mail, screened by the system using keyword search before download is
allowed. Keyword screening would evaluate risk level of e-mail. Unacceptable or
questionable (moderate to high risk) e-mail is held or staged at a central computer
for DOC approval before it is available to an offender for download.
• Keyword search function may be edited at any time.
• System allows all messages for a particular offender to be stored or to be transferred
to DOC storage.
• System provides e-mail send/reply capability (after keyword screening/review
protocols identical to incoming messages).
• System provides translation of foreign language e-mail.
2. Kiosk will be placed in mutually agreeable locations within the following institutions:
Coyote Ridge Corrections Center (CC)
Airway Heights CC
Washington State Penitentiary
Stafford Creek CC
WA CC for Women
Washington CC
Monroe Correctional Complex
Clallam Bay CC
Olympic CC
Cedar Creek CC
McNeil Island CC
Mission Creek CC for Women
The numbers of Kiosks per institutions will be determined by mutual agreement of the
parties following the Contractor’s survey of the facilities.
3. MP3 Player
• MP3 player has a video screen capable of displaying e-mail or other required
information.
• MP3 player must display the offender’s DOC number or unique offender identifier
upon start up or query.
• MP3 player connects and accepts downloads only from the secure kiosk or secure
network
• MP3 player audio is provided through headphone/ear buds only.
• MP3 players use rechargeable batteries.
• Player Security Functions
o MP3 players are preloaded with the offender’s name and ID so when the

State of Washington
Department of Corrections

K8262

Appendix 2.01

Page 1 of 4

player boots up, the offender name and ID appear.
o To prevent the player from being connected with an unauthorized application,
the device is configured to be constantly “locked.” Locked is defined as
unable to connect to any machine other than the offender kiosk.
o Only JPay applications have the ability to unlock a player. A player can only
be unlocked in the following cases:
 When the offender logs into the kiosk and the offender’s kiosk account
matches the connected player.
 When the DOC is logged into the Facility System, connects a player
to the computer and uses the unlock feature.
 When a released offender logs into JPay.com, connects the player to
the computer and activates the release feature.
o In the case of unauthorized use, a notification alert is sent via email to
appropriate DOC personnel. The email contains the name and ID of the
offender kiosk account, kiosk location identifier code as well as the player’s
serial number and owner information.
4. Kiosk Installation Process
1) JPay and DOC conduct preliminary sessions to discuss the scope of work. These
sessions involve central office staff from Information Technology (IT), Finance,
Operations and Security. The purpose of these sessions is to establish
expectations and target dates for the deployment of services and products. In
these sessions, the parties finalize discussions about network and power
solutions. JPay also aligns the product offering with the DOC’s administrative
regulations.
2) JPay and the DOC’s Trust Account Provider, Syscon, establish data integration.
3) Senior level facility staff conduct site tours with JPay for equipment installation.
These tours should include staff who understand the facility network architecture.
Here, JPay works with the staff to identify specific kiosk locations in each living
unit. These locations are then communicated to the technicians for equipment
installation. It is important that the appropriate staff are available when deciding
upon kiosk locations, in order to avoid adjustments. All site tours conclude with a
roundtable discussion to review and confirm the findings.
4) Kiosks are then installed in the living units, libraries and recreational areas.
Computers and printers are installed in the mailrooms to support the email
operation.
5) Tests are conducted onsite and remotely by JPay to ensure the security of each
deployment. JPay tests network connectivity, power, line speed, port security,
application stability and emergency scenarios. JPay also tests remote
monitoring and deployment tools to prepare for ongoing maintenance and
support.
6) Staff training is conducted both onsite (by region) and remotely via WebEx.
These training methods remain available throughout the term of the contract.
7) Training and marketing materials are distributed to each facility (or regional
manager). These materials include offender orientation pamphlets, offender
commercials and instructional videos, commissary bag stuffers (aka “buckslips”),
visitor handouts, visitor deposit slips, web design for the DOC website and
posters in the living units.

8) Sell and distribute MP3 players. JPay works with the DOC to distribute MP3
players to the offenders. MP3 players can be offered for sale on offender kiosks
and through the commissary. JPay is responsible for inventory management,
order processing, and shipment.
9) Turn on email and media applications on the kiosks.
10) JPay continues to provide support, maintenance and training throughout the
contract. JPay assigns account representatives to support DOC staff.
