5 necessary, all of the Contractor's records and data with respect to the matters covered by this

13 Agreement.
14 10.3 Public Records. The County is not limited in any manner with respect to its public
15 disclosure of this Agreement or any record or data that the Contractor may provide to the
16 County. The County's public disclosure of this Agreement or any record or data that the

19 governmental agency, disclose this Agreement to the public or such governmental

27 Government Code, Title 5, Division 2, Part 1, Chapter 9, beginning with section 54950).
28
8
1 (D) This Agreement, and any record or data that the Contractor may provide to the

8 section 3, subdivision (b).
9 (F) Any marking of confidentiality or restricted access upon or otherwise made with
10 respect to any record or data that the Contractor may provide to the County shall be

14 under the CPRA to publicly disclose any record that is in the Contractor's possession or control,
15 and which the County has a right, under any provision of this Agreement or applicable law, to
16 possess or control, then the County may demand, in writing, that the Contractor deliver to the
17 County, for purposes of public disclosure, the requested records that may be in the possession
18 or control of the Contractor. Within five business days after the County's demand, the
19 Contractor shall (a) deliver to the County all of the requested records that are in the Contractor's
20 possession or control, together with a written statement that the Contractor, after conducting a
21 diligent search, has produced all requested records that are in the Contractor's possession or
22 control, or (b) provide to the County a written statement that the Contractor, after conducting a
23 diligent search, does not possess or control any of the requested records. The Contractor shall
24 cooperate with the County with respect to any County demand for such records. If the
25 Contractor wishes to assert that any specific record or data is exempt from disclosure under the
26 CPRA or other applicable law, it must deliver the record or data to the County and assert the
27 exemption by citation to specific legal authority within the written statement that it provides to
28 the County under this section. The Contractor's assertion of any exemption from disclosure is
9
1 not binding on the County, but the County will give at least 10 days' advance written notice to
2 the Contractor before disclosing any record subject to the Contractor's assertion of exemption
3 from disclosure. The Contractor shall indemnify the County for any court-ordered award of costs
4 or attorney's fees under the CPRA that results from the Contractor's delay, claim of exemption,
5 failure to produce any such records, or failure to cooperate with the County with respect to any
6 County demand for any such records.

21 identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, military status or veteran status pursuant to
22 all applicable State of California and federal statutes and regulation.
23 12.10 No Waiver. Payment, waiver, or discharge by the County of any liability or obligation
24 of the Contractor under this Agreement on any one or more occasions is not a waiver of
25 performance of any continuing or other obligation of the Contractor and does not prohibit
26 enforcement by the County of any obligation on any other occasion.
27 12.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its exhibits, is the entire agreement
28 between the Contractor and the County with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement,
11
1 and it supersedes all previous negotiations, proposals, commitments, writings, advertisements,

3 this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement without its
4 exhibits and the terms of the exhibits, then the inconsistency will be resolved by giving
5 precedence first to the terms of this Agreement without its exhibits, and then to the terms of the
6 exhibits.

8 create any rights or obligations for any person or entity except for the parties.

DPH 2-1-1 - $19,000
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The United States Postal Service (USPS) uses a Biohazard Detection System (BDS) to detect
the presence of anthrax in all outgoing mail at its mail processing center located at 1900 E.
Street in Fresno. The Fresno County Department of Public Health (DPH) has an agreement
with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to assist the USPS in the event of a positive
A-3
anthrax detection at the E Street processing center by providing antibiotic prophylaxis to all
USPS employees and members of the public who were in the facility at the time the anthrax
alarm went off. It is anticipated that this event will generate significant media attention and a
significant number of calls from the public. DPH's public messaging will direct the public to call
2-1-1 for the most current information.
II. CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Provide DPH with call script/message template (if desired) so that DPH can pre-draft
the call script and be able to more quickly provide incident information for use by the
2-1-1 call center in the preferred format.
2. Ensure the 2-1-1 call center will be ready to receive calls within 8 hours after
receiving notification by DPH staff of a positive anthrax detection.
3. 2-1-1 staff will determine what type of information the caller is looking for and use
DPH's public facing webpage (webpage address to be provided to United Way at the
time of event notification) to answer caller questions and direct them to other
resources containing anthrax related information.
4. Collect contact information from callers who were at the Post Office the day of the
positive anthrax detection and who are concerned about potential exposure, and
submit the information to DPH via DPH's website. Once all information is collected
and submitted by 2-1-1 staff, 2-1-1 staff will inform the caller that DPH staff have
received their information and that DPH will follow up with the caller as soon as
possible.
5. As additional incident related information becomes available, distribute updated call
center scripts/instructions to 2-1-1 call center staff as soon as feasible following
receipt from DPH.
III. DPH'S RESPONSIBILITIES
DPH shall:
1. Contact Contractor as soon as feasible following notification of the positive anthrax
detection and notify Contractor that the 2-1-1 call center should be ready to receive
calls from the public within 8 hours.
2. Make DPH's public facing webpage accessible and provide webpage address to
Contractor when activating Contractor to be able to receive anthrax related calls at
its 2-1-1 call center. Webpage shall be updated with incident and anthrax related
information and the ability for Contractor to record caller information a minimum of
one hour before 2-1-1 call center is expected to be ready to receive calls.
3. Provide Contractor with call script/message templates within 6 hours of providing
notification to activate the 2-1-1 call center. If requested by Contractor, DPH shall
submit messages on call script/message templates provided by Contractor.

4. Provide updated call scripts or additional instructions to Contractor as additional
incident information becomes available or new questions need to be asked of callers.

Agreement.
(i) Each insurance certificate must state that: (1) the insurance coverage has been
obtained and is in full force; (2) the County, its officers, agents, employees, and
volunteers are not responsible for any premiums on the policy; and (3) the
Contractor has waived its right to recover from the County, its officers, agents,

Agreement, the Contractor shall provide to the County, or ensure that the policy requires
the insurer to provide to the County, written notice of any cancellation or change in the
policy as required in this paragraph. For cancellation of the policy for nonpayment of
premium, the Contractor shall, or shall cause the insurer to, provide written notice to the
County not less than 10 days in advance of cancellation. For cancellation of the policy
for any other reason, and for any other change to the policy, the Contractor shall, or shall
cause the insurer to, provide written notice to the County not less than 30 days in
advance of cancellation or change. The County in its sole discretion may determine that

waiver, but the Contractor's waiver of subrogation under this paragraph is effective
whether or not the Contractor obtains such an endorsement.
(F) County's Remedy for Contractor's Failure to Maintain. If the Contractor fails to keep
in effect at all times any insurance coverage required under this Agreement, the County
may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, suspend or terminate this

charges against any amounts owed by the County to the Contractor under this
Agreement.
(G)Subcontractors. The Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors used by
the Contractor to provide services under this Agreement maintain insurance meeting all
insurance requirements provided in this Agreement. This paragraph does not authorize
