notification systems have a direct benefit for the criminal justice system that provides an efficient manner for
notification of victims in a system that is often overburdened and unable to fulfill its mandates. These systems allow
victims, law enforcement, prosecutors, victim advocates and other criminal justice professionals to have immediate
access to offender information. The contract period begins on September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017.

Over the past several years, Hays County and various municipalities have partnered with the Texas Water
Development Board, the US Army Corps of Engineers, LCRA, GBRA, and FEMA to study over 700 stream miles

Scope of Work
Purpose:
With funding from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and partnerships with local
communities, Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA), the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Hays County

throughout the County, as well as, dam breach analysis for 5 Upper San Marcos Natural Resource
Conservation Service (NRCS) dams, 2 York Creek NRCS dams, and 10 Plum Creek NRCS dams within Hays
County. Dam breach analyses have been performed for the 5 Upper San Marcos NRCS Dams and Plum
Creek NRCS Dam 16. The County is seeking a method to manage and organize this new data. The
selected method includes an inventory and basic web map to display the available data.
The web map will be developed and initially hosted on servers maintained by Halff. After development
is complete and the web map applications are approved by the County, Halff is willing to assist the
County to configure their server and transfer the hosting responsibilities. Halff is also willing to continue
providing the hosting services with an associated annual hosting fee. The scope and fee for the transfer
of hosting responsibilities is not included in this scope of work.

SUMMARY
Hays County's participation in a County Health Care Provider Participation Program is authorized by HB 3175
passed during the 84th Texas Legislature. A County Health Care Provider Participation Program authorizes a
county to collect a mandatory payment from each institutional health care provider located in the county to be
deposited in a local provider participation fund established by the county. Money in the fund may be used by the
county to fund certain intergovernmental transfers and indigent care programs as provided by Chapter 293 of the
Texas Health and Safety Code. Central Texas Medical Center of San Marcos and Seton Medical Center Hays
supported passage of HB 3175 and the creation of the program in Hays County.
25B4831709
The Hays County Commissioners Court adopted and Order authorizing the County's participation in the LPPF
program on 9-15-15. On 9-29-15 a public hearing was held to establish the LPPF, set the assessment rate at 6%,
and establish the state fiscal year 2016 mandatory payments.
26B58413709
Notice of the Public Hearing has been posted in accordance with 293.101 of the Texas Health and Safety Code.
27B56814309
During the hearing, the Court will set the state fiscal year 2017 assessment rate, consider the approval of the
amount of payments for each hospital as determined by 293.151 THSC and consider other issues related to the
program.
