Termination for Cause. In the event that GRANTEE fails to perform or comply with an
obligation of the terms, conditions and provisions of this contract, the OAG may, upon written
notice of the breach to GRANTEE, immediately terminate all or any part of this contract.
6.3
Termination Not Exclusive Remedy; Survival of Terms and Conditions. Termination
is not an exclusive remedy, but will be in addition to any other rights and remedies provided in
equity, by law, or under this contract.
Termination of this contract for any reason or expiration of this contract shall not release the Parties
from any liability or obligation set forth in this contract that is expressly stated to survive any such
termination or by its nature would be intended to be applicable following any such termination.
The following terms and conditions, (in addition to any others that could reasonably be interpreted
to survive but are not specifically identified), survive the termination or expiration of this contract:
Sections 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12.
6.4
Refunds to OAG by GRANTEE. If the GRANTEE terminates for convenience under
Section 6.1, or if the OAG terminates under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 before the purpose of this contract
is accomplished, then the OAG may require the GRANTEE and/or the Certified Vendor to refund
64
all or some of the grant funds paid under this contract, for the funds representing the number of
months of SAVNS services previously invoiced and paid by the OAG under this contract.
Notices to Certified Vendor. Any termination of this contract will also be forwarded by
6.5
the terminating party to the Certified Vendor.
SECTION 7.
AUDIT RIGHTS; RECORDS RETENTION
Duty to Maintain Records. GRANTEE shall maintain adequate records that enable the
7.1
OAG to verify all reporting measures and requests for reimbursements related to this contract.
GRANTEE also shall maintain such records as are deemed necessary by the OAG, OAG's auditor,
the State Auditors Office or other auditors of the State of Texas, the federal government, or such
other persons or entities designated by the OAG, to ensure proper accounting for all costs and
performances related to this contract.
7.2
Records Retention. GRANTEE shall maintain and retain records for a period of seven
(7) years after the contract is completed or expires, or all issues that arise from any litigation, claim,
negotiation, audit, open records request, administrative review, or other action involving the
contract or documents are resolved. The records include, but may not be limited to, the contract,
any contract solicitation documents, any documents that are necessary to fully disclose the extent
of services provided under this contract, any daily activity reports and time distribution and
attendance records and other records that may show the basis of the charges made or performances
delivered.
7.3
Audit Trails. GRANTEE shall maintain appropriate audit trails to provide accountability
for all reporting measures and requests for reimbursement. Audit trails maintained by GRANTEE
will, at a minimum, identify the supporting documentation prepared by GRANTEE to permit an
audit of its systems. GRANTEEs automated systems, if any, must provide the means whereby
authorized personnel have the ability to audit and to verify contractually required performances
and to establish individual accountability for any action that can potentially cause access to,
generation of, or modification of confidential information.
7.4
Access and Audit. At the request of the OAG, GRANTEE shall grant access to and make
available all paper and electronic records, books, documents, accounting procedures, practices,
and any other items relevant to the performance of this contract, compliance with applicable state
or federal laws and regulations, and the operation and management of GRANTEE to the OAG or
its designees for the purposes of inspecting, auditing, or copying such items. GRANTEE will
direct any other entity, person, or contractor receiving funds directly under this contract or through
a subcontract under this contract to likewise permit access to, inspection of, and reproduction of
all books, records, and other relevant information of the entity, person, or contractor(s) that pertain
to this contract. All records, books, documents, accounting procedures, practices, and any other
items, in whatever form, relevant to the performance of this contract, shall be subject to
examination or audit. Whenever practical as determined at the sole discretion of the OAG, the
65
OAG shall provide GRANTEE with up to five (5) business days advance notice of any such
examination or audit.
State Auditor. In addition to and without limitation on the other audit provisions of this
7.5
contract, pursuant to Section 2262.154 of the Texas Government Code, the State Auditors Office
may conduct an audit or investigation of GRANTEE or any other entity or person receiving funds
from the State directly under this contract or indirectly through a subcontract under this contract.
The acceptance of funds by GRANTEE or any other entity or person directly under this contract
or indirectly through a subcontract under this contract acts as acceptance of the authority of the
State Auditors Office, under the direction of the Legislative Audit Committee, to conduct an audit
or investigation in connection with those funds. Under the direction of the Legislative Audit
Committee, GRANTEE or another entity that is the subject of an audit or investigation by the State
Auditors Office must provide the State Auditors Office with access to any information the State
Auditors Office considers relevant to the investigation or audit. GRANTEE further agrees to
cooperate fully with the State Auditors Office in the conduct of the audit or investigation,
including providing all records requested. GRANTEE shall ensure that this paragraph concerning
the authority to audit funds received indirectly by subcontractors through GRANTEE and the
requirement to cooperate is included in any subcontract it awards. The State Auditors Office shall
at any time have access to and the right to examine, audit, excerpt, and transcribe any pertinent
books, documents, working papers, and records of GRANTEE related to this contract.
Location. Any audit of records shall be conducted at GRANTEEs principal place of
7.6
business and/or the location(s) of GRANTEE's operations during GRANTEE's normal business
hours. GRANTEE shall provide to OAG or its designees, on GRANTEE's premises (or if the audit
is being performed of a subcontractor, the subcontractor's premises if necessary) private space,
office furnishings (including lockable cabinets), telephone and facsimile services, utilities and
office-related equipment and duplicating services as OAG or its designees may reasonably require
to perform the audits described in this contract.
SECTION 8.

OAG generally requires submission of information via email or hard copy format. Some reporting
requirements must occur via the internet and/or a web-based data collection method.

SECTION 9.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS AND SANCTIONS
The Parties agree to make a good faith effort to identify, communicate and resolve problems found
by either the OAG or GRANTEE.
9.1
Corrective Action Plans. If the OAG finds deficiencies in GRANTEEs performance
under this contract, the OAG, at its sole discretion, may impose one or more of the following
remedies as part of a corrective action plan: increase of monitoring visits; require additional or
more detailed financial and/or programmatic reports be submitted; require prior approval for
expenditures; require additional technical or management assistance and/or make modifications in
business practices; reduce the contract amount; and/or terminate this contract. The foregoing are
not exclusive remedies, and the OAG may impose other requirements that the OAG determines
will be in the best interest of the State.
9.2
Financial Hold. Failure to comply with submission deadlines for required reports,
invoices, or other requested information may result in the OAG, at its sole discretion, placing
GRANTEE on immediate financial hold without further notice to GRANTEE and without first
requiring a corrective action plan. No reimbursements will be processed until the requested
information is submitted. If GRANTEE is placed on financial hold, the OAG, at its sole discretion,
may deny reimbursement requests associated with expenses incurred during the time GRANTEE
was placed on financial hold.
67
9.3
Sanctions. In addition to financial hold, the OAG, at its sole discretion, may impose other
sanctions without first requiring a corrective action plan. The OAG, at its sole discretion, may
impose sanctions, including, but not limited to, withholding or suspending funding, offsetting
previous reimbursements, requiring repayment, disallowing claims for reimbursement, reducing
funding, terminating this contract and/or any other appropriate sanction.
9.4
No Waiver. Notwithstanding the imposition of corrective actions, financial hold and/or
sanctions, GRANTEE remains responsible for complying with the contract terms and conditions.
Corrective action plans, financial hold and/or sanctions do not excuse or operate as a waiver of
prior failure to comply with this contract.

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.
