This request is to renew and extend PEC’s NISC iVUE software maintenance, AMS (Automated Mail Services), and Merchant Services contracts for five (5) years. This extension is $3,500,000.00 annually totaling $17,500,000.00 for the five year agreement. The software maintenance includes support for all the iVUE components (ABS, CC&B, SmartHub, Call Capture, SmartTrack, MDM, AppSuite).

 

The AMS portion includes mail and postage cost for bills and any correspondence that is handled by NISC. The current NISC maintenance contract agreement is an evergreen contract without an expiration.
