Revision 06-1; Effective April 10, 2006
If this is the first time you have contracted with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide Emergency Response Services (ERS), you must receive service-specific training before any referrals from HHSC can be made. To receive orientation/ training, contact the contract manager in the regional office. A list of regional office telephone numbers can be found in Appendix II, Regional Contacts.
If you currently have a contract with HHSC (for the same service in another region) and have already received orientation, you do not have to receive the service-specific orientation/training from the contract manager in the region again. Documentation indicating that orientation has previously been received must be presented to the regional contract manager.
Remember, failure to have adequate staff available to provide services upon receipt of training may lead to contract termination.
Providers:
- must comply with the complaint procedures outlined in Chapter 49, Contracting for Community Services;
- must comply with Executive Order 11246, titled "Equal Employment Opportunity," as amended by Executive Order 11375 and supplemented in Department of Labor regulations at 41 CFR, Part 60;
- must comply with applicable provisions of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C., 7401 et seq.) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C., 1251 et seq.), if funding under this contract exceeds $100,000;
- must comply with ยง231.006, Texas Family Code, which stipulates that the individual or business entity named in the contract, bid or application certifies it is not ineligible to receive the specified grant, loan or payment and acknowledges that the contract may be terminated and payment may be withheld if this certification is inaccurate; and
- are responsible for their behavior, as well as the behavior of their staff and subcontractors to ensure a violence-free contractual relationship. Any remarks, gestures or actions toward HHSC employees, volunteers and/or individuals that carry an implied threat of any kind, even if intended to be in jest, will be taken seriously and may lead to corrective action, up to and including revocation of the contract.
The contractor certifies that the goods and/or service(s) covered by this contract are designed to be used before, during and after calendar year 2000 A.D. The goods and/or service(s) will operate during such time periods without error relating to date data that represent different centuries or more than one century.
