ASSIGNMENT The successful offeror may not assign, sell, or otherwise transfer this contract without written permission of Harris County Commissioners Court. AWARD Harris County reserves the right to award this contract on the basis of LOWEST AND BEST OFFER in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, to waive any formality or irregularity, to make awards to more than one offeror, to reject any or all proposals. In the event the lowest dollar offeror meeting specifications is not awarded a contract, the offeror may appear before the Commissioners Court, Hospital District Board of Managers, the Juvenile Board or other applicable governing body and present evidence concerning his responsibility after officially notifying the Office of the Purchasing Agent of his intent to appear. BONDS If this proposal requires submission of proposal guarantee and performance bond, there will be a separate page explaining those requirements. Offers submitted without the required proposal bond or Cashier's Check are not acceptable. CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION INELIGIBILITY, AND VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION The Contractor certifies by execution of this Contract that it is not ineligible for participation in federal or state assistance programs under Executive Order 12549, "Debarment and Suspension." The Contractor further agrees to include this certification in all contracts between itself and any subcontractors in connection with the services performed under this Contract. Contractor also certifies that contractor will notify Harris County in writing immediately if contractor is not in compliance with Executive Order 12549 during the term of this contract. Contractor agrees to refund Harris County for any payments made to the contractor while ineligible. CONTRACT OBLIGATION Harris County Commissioners Court must award the contract and the County Judge or other person authorized by the Harris County Commissioners Court must sign the contract before it becomes binding on Harris County or the offeror. Department heads are NOT authorized to sign agreements for Harris County. Binding agreements shall remain in effect until all products and/or services covered by this purchase have been satisfactorily delivered and accepted. CONTRACT RENEWALS Renewals may be made ONLY by written agreement between Harris County and the offeror. Any price escalations are limited to those stated by the offeror in the original proposal. Revised 04/07 Page 4 of 23 DIGITAL FORMAT If offeror obtained the proposal specifications in digital format in order to prepare a response, the proposal must be submitted in hard copy according to the instructions contained in this proposal package. If, in its proposal response, offeror makes any changes whatsoever to the County's published proposal specifications, the County's proposal specifications as published shall control. Furthermore, if an alteration of any kind to the County's published proposal specifications is only discovered after the contract is executed and is or is not being performed, the contract is subject to immediate cancellation. DISQUALIFICATION OF OFFEROR Upon signing this proposal document, an offeror offering to sell supplies, materials, services, or equipment to Harris County certifies that the offeror has not violated the antitrust laws of this state codified in §15.01, et seq., Business & Commerce Code, or the federal antitrust laws, and has not communicated directly or indirectly the offer made to any competitor or any other person engaged in such line of business. Any or all proposals may be rejected if the County believes that collusion exists among the offerors. Proposals in which the prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected. If multiple proposals are submitted by an offeror and after the proposals are opened, one of the proposals is withdrawn, the result will be that all of the proposals submitted by that offeror will be withdrawn; however, nothing herein prohibits a vendor from submitting multiple offers for different products or services. E-MAIL ADDRESSES CONSENT Vendor affirmatively consents to the disclosure of its e-mail addresses that are provided to Harris County, the Harris County Flood Control District, the Harris County Hospital District including its HMO, the Harris County Appraisal District, or any agency of Harris County.

This consent shall apply to e-mail addresses provided by Vendor, its employees, officers, and agents acting on Vendor's behalf and shall apply to any e-mail address provided in any form for any reason whether related to this bid/proposal or otherwise. EVALUATION Evaluation shall be used as a determinant as to which proposed items or services are the most efficient and/or most economical for the County. It shall be based on all factors which have a bearing on price and performance of the items in the user environment. All proposals are subject to negotiations by the Purchasing Agent and other appropriate departments, with recommendation to the appropriate governing body. Compliance with all requirements, delivery and needs of the using department are considerations in evaluating proposals. Pricing is NOT the only criteria for making a recommendation. A preliminary evaluation by Harris County will be held and appropriate proposals will be subjected to the negotiating process. Upon completion of the negotiations, Harris County will make an award. All proposals that have been submitted shall be available and open for public inspection after the contract is awarded except for trade secrets or confidential information contained in the proposals and identified as such. FISCAL FUNDING A multi-year lease or lease/purchase arrangement (if requested by the specifications), or any contract continuing as a result of an extension option, must include fiscal funding out. If, for any reason, funds are not appropriated to continue the lease or contract, said lease or contract shall become null and void on the last day of the current appropriation of funds. After expiration of the lease, leased equipment shall be removed by the contractor from the using department without penalty of any kind or form to Harris County. All charges and physical activity related to delivery, installation, removal and redelivery shall be the responsibility of the offeror. GOVERNING FORMS In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of these requirements and the specifications, the specifications shall govern.

GRANT FUNDING Any contract entered into by the County that is to be paid from grant funds shall be limited to payment from the grant funding and the vendor/provider understands that the County has not set aside any County funds for the payment of obligations under a grant contract. If grant funding should become unavailable at any time for the continuation of services paid for by the grant, and further funding cannot be obtained for the contract, then the sole recourse of the provider shall be to terminate any further services under the contract and the contract shall be null and void. HIPAA COMPLIANCE Offeror agrees to comply with the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, PL 104-191, 45 CFR Parts 160-164, as amended, and the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act, Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 181, as amended, collectively referred to as "HIPAA", to the extent that the Offeror uses, discloses or has access to protected health information as defined by HIPAA.

Prior to any and all payments made for goods and/or services provided under this contract, the offeror should provide his Taxpayer Identification Number or social security number as applicable.

Harris County will be the sole judge in determining product preference application. SEVERABILITY If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word of these requirements or the specifications shall be held invalid, such holding shall not affect the remaining portions of these requirements and the specifications and it is hereby declared that such remaining portions would have been included in these requirements and the specifications as though the invalid portion had been omitted.

VENDORS OWING TAXES Pursuant to TX Local Government Code 262.0276, Harris County Commissioners Court has adopted a policy which requires that vendors' taxes be current as of the date bids/proposals are due. Bidders with delinquent county taxes on the due date will not be eligible for award. Whether or not a vendor's taxes are delinquent will be determined by an independent review of the Tax Office records. Vendors who believe a delinquency is reflected in error must contact the Tax Office to correct any errors or discrepancies prior to submitting their bid in order to ensure that their bid will be considered. Tax records are available online at the Tax Office website—www.hctax.net. Prior to submitting a bid, vendors are encouraged to visit the Tax Office website, set up a portfolio of their accounts and make their own initial determination of the status of their tax accounts. Furthermore, if, during the performance of this contract, a vendor's taxes become delinquent, Harris County reserves the right to provide notice to the Auditor or Treasurer pursuant to Texas Local Government Code §154.045. This policy is effective for all bids due on or after May 1, 2004. Revised 05/07 Page 9 of 23 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS The following requirements and instructions supersede General Requirements where applicable. COMMUNICATION WITH HARRIS COUNTY Any and all questions regarding the preparation of a response to this RFP, including clarification of the information or instructions contained therein must be received in the Office of the Purchasing Agent no later than ______________.

Use the envelope provided with the RFP, or a comparable envelope or box, clearly indicating on the outside the Job Number, Job Description and marked "SEALED PROPOSAL". Harris County shall not be responsible for any effort or cost expended in the preparation of a response to this job.

Reponses to this request for proposal shall be formatted as follows: All proposals must be typed on standard 8 ½‖ X 11‖ paper, indexed and placed in a binder or folder. PROPOSERS SHOULD INCLUDE ONE (1) ORIGINAL AND FOUR (4) COPIES OF THE RESPONSE sealed in an envelope or box for delivery to the Harris County Purchasing Agent per instructions in the general requirements (Proposal Completion and Proposal Return). All documents included in the proposal and the outside of the envelope and/or box must be labeled with the vendor's name and the job number that corresponds to this RFP. If applicable, responses must reference vendor supplied technical material or provide a detailed technical description to substantiate the response. References must be specific, i.e., page, paragraph, and line number. Failure to substantiate responses may be sufficient reason to eliminate any bid as non-responsive. The vendor should carefully consider responses, as they are critical to the evaluation process. Evaluation will consider the adequacy and completeness of responses. While Harris County appreciates a brief straightforward concise reply, the vendor must fully understand that the evaluation is based on the information provided. Merely stating an understanding of or compliance with the specification is not adequate. Accuracy and completeness are essential. Omissions and ambiguous or equivocal statements may be construed against the vendor. The proposal response may be incorporated into a contract resulting from this RFP. Vendors are cautioned not to make claims or statements, which they are not prepared to commit to contractually. Failure by the vendor to meet such claims may result in a requirement that the vendor provide resources necessary to meet submitted claims. Page 10 of 23 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) The vendor is expected to examine all documents, forms, specifications, and all instructions. Failure to do so will be at vendor's risk. Harris County will not be liable for any costs incurred by the vendor in preparing a response to this RFP. Vendors submit proposals at their own risk and expense. Harris County makes no guarantee that any software, equipment or services will be purchased as a result of this request for proposal, and reserves the right to reject any and all proposals. All proposals and their accompanying documentation will become the property of Harris County. All proposals are open to negotiation. All documents will be held by the County and are NOT subject to public view until an award is made. When an award is made, proposals are subject to review under the ―Open Records Act.‖ To the extent permitted by law, vendors may request in writing non-disclosure of confidential data. Such data shall accompany the proposal, be readily separable from the proposal and shall be CLEARLY MARKED ―CONFIDENTIAL.‖ All correspondence relating to this RFP, from advertisement to award, shall be sent to the Harris County Purchasing Department. Deviations from this requirement may cause the cancellation of this RFP process and/or disqualification of vendor's proposal. All information provided to vendor for the purpose of submitting a proposal in response to this RFP is confidential, and is and will remain the property of Harris County and will not be used by vendor for any other purposes. This RFP in no manner obligates Harris County to the purchase of any service described, implied or which may be proposed, until confirmed by a written contract and/or purchase order. Progress toward this end is solely at the discretion of Harris County and may be terminated at any time prior to signing of a contract. LEGAL DOCUMENTS Vendor must submit any agreements for services, etc. which may be required by their organization to enter into a contract with Harris County. These agreements must be completed, executed by vendor's authorized representative and submitted with the returned proposal, and are subject to review and amendment by the Harris County Attorney's Office and to approval by Commissioners' Court. CHANGES TO CONTRACT Due to the nature and scope of the work required, it may be necessary to increase, decrease, or otherwise modify the scope of the effort or terms of the agreement. Therefore, Harris County may request, from time to time, revisions in order to adjust its needs. Modifications require approval by Harris County Commissioners' Court. EVALUATION PROCESS All proposals are open to negotiation until a contract is executed. An evaluation committee will examine all proposals. Proposals that do not conform to the instructions given or which do not address all the questions and/or services specified may be eliminated from consideration. Harris County, however, reserves the right to accept such a proposal if it is determined to be in the County's best interest to do so. Page 11 of 23 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) Harris County may initiate discussions with vendors. Proposals will be accepted during this period but only from vendors who responded to the original request. Vendors may not initiate discussions. Harris County expects to conduct discussions with vendor personnel who are authorized to contractually obligate the vendor with an offer. Vendors may be required to make presentations to the evaluation committee. The presentation should address the vendor's capabilities and qualifications. The Harris County Purchasing Department shall coordinate all presentations and/or meetings (if needed) between Harris County and the vendor relating to this RFP. Vendor presentations may develop into negotiating sessions concerning the contract terms; however, Harris County reserves the right to terminate contract negotiations with that vendor and initiate negotiations with another vendor. The authorized agent of the vendor attending meetings with representatives of Harris County, relating to this RFP, shall be responsible for all vendor's offers, proposals, commitments and representations made regarding this RFP. Harris County will not be obligated to the vendor for hardware, software, and/or services until completion of a signed contract as approved by Commissioners' Court. EVALUATION CRITERIA Award of the contract shall be made to the responsible vendor, whose proposal is determined to be the best- evaluated offer resulting from negotiations, taking into consideration the following and other factors set forth in the RFP. It is anticipated that these items are listed in order of relative importance: Proposed services will meet need of user department Demonstrated ability to provide the required services Proposer's qualifications Experience with clients of similar size and structure to the user department References Cost-initial costs and maintenance renewal costs Compliance with instructions and specifications Financial stability Completed questionnaire (if required) and agreement of all County terms and conditions In addition to any rights or remedies detailed in the General Requirements of this RFP, authorized representatives of Harris County may contact any vendor, company or individual at any time during the proposal process in order to clarify, verify, or request information, or to negotiate regarding the contents of any proposal. Harris County also reserves the right to visit any vendor's site at any time during the proposal process for the purposes of evaluating components of the proposal. Page 12 of 23 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) Harris County reserves the right to contract with the vendor best meeting the needs and requirements of Harris County and may use reference and site visit information to make judgments directly affecting the award of this contract. No award or acquisition can be made until Commissioners' Court approves such action. Harris County will not be obligated to the vendor for services until completion of a signed contract is approved by the Commissioners Court and issuance of a purchase order. Submission of proposal implies the vendor's acceptance of the evaluation criteria and vendor recognition that subjective judgments must be made by the evaluation committee. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Vendor represents that it has the right to assign and hereby assigns to the County all rights, titles, copyright ownership and interest in any information, programs, inventions, software, firmware, designs, documentation and/or data to be developed, created or invented pursuant to Agreement for services that will ensue as a result of this proposal. Vendor agrees that for the purposes of assigning copyright ownership that said work performed will be deemed, to the extent authorized by law, to have been done on a ―works made for hire‖ basis. In the event and to the extent that such works are determined not to constitute ―works made for hire‖ as that term is understood in copyright law, Vendor hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to the County all right, title and interest in such works, including, but not limited to copyrights. Within thirty days after its development, creation, or invention, Vendor agrees to deliver to the County copies, in a form of software, firmware, designs, documentation and/or data, including the source codes. Vendor may retain one set of reproducible copies of all such information, programs, inventions, software, firmware, designs, documentation and/or data for his sole use in performing services for the County only. Vendor is expressly prohibited from selling, licensing, or otherwise marketing or divulging to third parties such material, or using such material in the preparation of other work for any other client, without the express written permission of the County. AGREEMENT All vendors agree to sign a contract with Harris County for referenced services within the time frames indicated. Any supplemental agreement proposed by the bidder must accompany this proposal and is subject to the approval of the County Attorney. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The evaluation committee may require completion of an acceptance test after the installation of the proposed software/hardware. The acceptance test will involve the achievement of the Central Technology Center (CTC) standard availability and performance goals during a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days. Availability on all proposed software must be at least 99.0% during the period, with availability defined as follows: Availability = 100 * (SMO-DT) / SMO where SMO = the total scheduled minutes of operation for the software/hardware during the period Page 13 of 23 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) and where DT = the total minutes during the period when the software is scheduled to be in operation but is not, due to a failure of the software/hardware. The acceptance test will start on the date that Harris County receives a written notice from the vendor that the software/hardware is installed and ready for production usage. If the software does not achieve availability during the first thirty (30) days following the installation date, the acceptance test will continue on a day-to-day basis until availability is achieved for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days. For the acceptance test, vendor is required to supply all software/hardware required to produce resource management reports. Harris County will notify the vendor in writing of the completion of the acceptance test. The County may withhold release of any requested contract performance bond (if bond is required) until completion of the acceptance test, and may make failure to complete the acceptance test within ninety (90) days of the installation date grounds for the termination of the software/hardware contract and/or for claims for liquidation damages guaranteed by the contract performance bond.

Hopkinton selectmen close to hiring new fire chief
Jim O'Brien, chairman of the board of selectmen, said a committee including firefighters, local fire chiefs from surrounding communities, Town Administrator Neal Cass and Police Chief Stephen Pecora have sifted through the pool of more than 50 applicants for the position of fire chief. The group then interviewed the top five or six finalists and have referred the top two or three to the board of selectmen.
"Next week we'll interview those final candidates and we hope that by the end of the week, we'll have a new fire chief," said O'Brien.
O'Brien said there will have to be an offer and acceptance by the chosen applicant and negotiations over salary and benefits, but the hope is to have the new chief on board by the end of February or beginning of March.
In September, the town lost its first full-time fire chief when Rick Schaefer suffered fatal cardiac arrest while on the job. Schaefer had held the position of chief since 1999 and had been a member of the department for 32 years.
Shortly after Schaefer's death, the board promoted Deputy Chief Jeff Yale, a 20-year veteran of the department, to the position of interim chief.
O'Brien said that Yale has helped make the search for a new chief less stressful.
"He's been doing a great job and really stepped up," said O'Brien. "The department is running well, so if it takes another month for us to have a chief in place, we'll be OK."
In the meantime, the town is still studying the future of the main fire house in Contoocook and won't be putting any proposals before the taxpayers for renovations or a new station this year.
"At last year's town meeting we asked for $25,000 to conduct a feasibility study to look at renovating the current station or possibly building a new on near the site of the old highway garage," said O'Brien.
The town hired an architectural firm to do the study, but more information is needed before making a decision about how to proceed. The board may ask for more funding for continued study at town meeting in March, and plans to make a presentation about what has been learned so far, but O'Brien said there won't be a proposal for renovations or a new building at least until 2014.

Google launched a revamped homepage, but it is still in the trial phase and only a limited number of users have access to the new design. Meanwhile, some experts and lawmakers are claiming Google's recent face lift intends to promote more of the company's businesses without cluttering the homepage.
The website's redesign has undergone various changes since its initial debut over a month ago. The current version omits the black menu bar that runs horizontal along the top of the website, and it is now replaced by a gray Google logo. Upon clicking the new graphic, seven services under the search engine appear with an option to view 13 more services.
The core seven services in the trial design are Google Plus, Search, Images, Maps, YouTube, News, Gmail and Documents. The "More" tab below the vertical menu reveals options for Calendar, Translator, Mobile, Books, Music, Offers, Wallet, Shopping, Blogger, Reader, Finance, Photos, and Videos.
Google users can also change the background image of their homepage with the trial design, and they can access iGoogle or their Google Plus notification center and Settings options from the main search page.

Yes, definitely below their records against other nations though Smith was Man of the Series in Australia and was sawn off by a umpires at least three times in the corresponding series in 2005/6.
Looks like de Villiers may not be a factor until the second test so they might have to go with the underperforming Duminy. With Smith and Boucher out of form they have their problems too.

Plenty of trout in Cocodrie
Published: Friday, August 12, 2005 at 11:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 12, 2005 at 11:23 a.m.
I'm going to start off this week telling you that there is absolutely nothing I can do for you about lowering the temperatures if you're planning to attempt a fishing trip come this Saturday and Sunday.
But I will tell you that if you can beat the heat by bringing along a lot of water and a cooler full of iced drinks, I can definitely point you in the direction of a whole lot of big trout that you can haul aboard by mid-morning.
We got a deal? Then repeat after me . COCODRIE.
First thing you got to do is get out early. For the last four weeks, the fish have been biting better early. And if that's not a good enough reason, early fishing will allow you to finish up the trip long before the heat of mid-day sets in.
Next: Go directly to either Last Island or Timbalier Island. Even if you see birds diving on obvious schools, even if you see what looks like fish popping on the surface, don't even think of stopping off at some other spot. Remember -- focus on the islands! Once you're there, fish as close to the beach as possible (even to the point of getting the boat temporarily stuck in the sand). Then drop every cast you make into "the gut" between the sandbars.
"That's that pocket of deep water that lies between the near and far sandbars," Capt. Scott Dufresne, our charter guide, explained to me and my TV krewe. "Whenever you can find a gut, that's where everything that swims stacks up -- shrimp, pogies, mullets, shiners, and baby croakers, plus everything that dines on them."
"That's why every fisherman who comes down here right now with his sights set on catching trout needs to fish with live bait.," Johnny Glover, our host at Coco Marina, interrupted. "And for the big trout, nothing even comes a close second to baby croakers on a Carolina rig."
Of course, Glover did relent somewhat and explain that if baby croakers became scarce over the weekend and if bait providers should run out of stock, then other forms of live bait, like shrimp and cocahoes, are a suitable substitute.
"Just remember, it's just not plastic time," he added. "Maybe later in the summer, but not now. The gulf is too thick with primo bait fish that form the major bulk of the game fish diet, and they can recognize the difference between a live shrimp and a piece of clear plastic on a jig head. It's a biological prerequisite that's not negotiable!"
Now, you can expect to catch both whopper trout and newborn juvies in the same locales. So it goes without saying that every fish that looks doubtful should be measured without fail.
"The little guys need to go back gently," Scott pleaded, "because they in fact comprise the very fish stock that we'll be into this fall and next spring. Injure them now by improperly handling them, and you'll certainly damage the trout populations you'll pursue come November and May."
Here's a hint for you: If you want to discourage the little undersizers from taking a bait and getting hooked, then use a larger baby croaker that only the more hefty fish can handle. Oh, just for the record, the average size of the trout you'll put in the boat at the islands below Cocodrie this weekend will range from 13 to 22 inches.
WWL-TV outdoorsman Frank Davis' "Fishin' Game" report appears as part of a cooperative arrangement between WWL-TV and The Courier.

Band of Horses Books New Shows to Replace Canceled Railroad Revival Dates, 10/21-28
The wheels may have come off this year's Railroad Revival Tour, but that's not going to stop Band of Horses from communing with its fans in nearly every market the tour was scheduled to hit. In light of the cancellation of the RRT's October 20-28 itinerary, Band of Horses has scrambled to fill the gaps with the following headline appearances:
10/21 - New Orleans, LA - House of Blues
10/22 - Memphis, TN - Minglewood Hall
10/23 - Tulsa, OK - Cain's Ballroom
10/24 - Houston, TX - House of Blues
10/26 - Phoenix, AZ - Marquee Theater
10/27 - San Pedro, CA - Warner Grand
10/28 - Oakland, CA - Fox Theater
As for the unfortunate demise of the Railroad Revival Tour, representatives for the promoters have released the following statement: "It is with extreme regret that we announce the cancellation of the 2012 Railroad Revival Tour. The decision to do so was a difficult one, but it was determined that certain complications would not permit us to host the shows in the manner intended, and that the bands and fans deserved. Additional information regarding refund procedures will be forthcoming, and we hope fans will take the opportunity to see these acts in other venues. Thank you."
The new dates add to a whirlwind of activity coming in the wake of the September 18 release of Mirage Rock (Brown/Columbia), which has THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER hailing Band of Horses as "America's best country-leaning pop-rock band since Wilco" and ROLLING STONE lauding the album as "full of bright Nineties noise-candy pastoralism." Recent BoH highlights have included an appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park that concluded in an all star jam featuring the band alongside Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Black Keys and more, while upcoming events include a November UK/Europe tour, and U.S. headline dates running from December 3 at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor MI through December 15 at The National in Richmond VA.
