received by the Contractor in performance of this Contract. Contractor acknowledges that all

or copyright on these Materials and may not transfer a patent or copyright on them to any other
3

Contract Number: INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
ADHS15-078134 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
person or entity. To the extent any copyright in any Materials may originally vest in the Contractor,
the Contractor hereby irrevocably transfers to the ADHS, for and on behalf of the State, all
copyright ownership. The ADHS shall have full, complete and exclusive rights to reproduce,
duplicate, adapt, distribute, display, disclose, publish, release and otherwise use all Materials. The
Contractor shall not use or release these Materials without the prior written consent of the ADHS.
When this Contract is terminated, the disposition of all such Materials shall be determined by the
ADHS. Further, the Contractor agrees to give recognition to the ADHS for its support of any
program when releasing or publishing program Materials.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Contractor is a State agency, the following shall apply instead: It
is the intention of ADHS and Contractor that all material and intellectual property developed under
this Agreement be used and controlled in ways to produce the greatest benefit to the parties to this
Contract and the citizens of the State of Arizona. As used in this paragraph, “Material” means all
written and electronic information, recordings, reports, findings, research information, abstracts,
results, software, data, discoveries, inventions, procedures and processes of services developed
by the Contractor and any other materials created, prepared or received by the Contractor and
subcontractors in performance of this Agreement. “Material” as used herein shall not include any
pre-existing data, information, materials, discoveries, inventions or any form of intellectual property
invented, created, developed or devised by Contractor (or its employees, subcontractors or agents)
prior to the commencement of the services funded by this Agreement or that may result from
Contractor‟s involvement in other service activities that are not funded by the Agreement.
Title and exclusive copyright to all Material shall vest in the State of Arizona, subject to any rights
reserved on behalf of the federal government. As State agencies and instrumentalities, both ADHS
and Contractor shall have full, complete, perpetual, irrevocable and non-transferable rights to
reproduce, duplicate, adapt, make derivative works, distribute, display, disclose, publish and
otherwise use any and all Material. The Contractor‟s right to use Material shall include the
following rights: the right to use the Material in connection with its internal, non-profit research and
educational activities, the right to present at academic or professional meetings or symposia and
the right to publish in journals, theses, dissertations or otherwise of Contractor‟s own choosing.
Contractor agrees to provide ADHS with a right of review prior to any publication or public
presentation of the Material, and ADHS shall be entitled to request the removal of its confidential
information or any other content the disclosure of which would be contrary to the best interest of
the State of Arizona. Neither party shall release confidential information to the public without the
prior expressly written permission of the other, unless required by the State public records statutes
or other law, including a court order. Each party agrees to give recognition to the other party in all
public presentations or publications of any Material, when releasing or publishing them.
In addition, ADHS and Contractor agree that any and all Material shall be made freely available to
the public to the extent it is in the best interest of the State. However, if either party wants to
license or assign an intellectual property interest in the material to a third-party for monetary
compensation, ADHS and Contractor agree to convene to determine the relevant issues of title,
copyright, patent and distribution of revenue. In the event of a controversy as to whether the
Material is being used for monetary compensation or in a way that interferes with the best interest
of the state or ADHS, then the Arizona Department of Administration shall make the final decision.
Notwithstanding the above, “monetary compensation‟ does not include compensation paid to an
individual creator for traditional publications in academia (the copyrights to which are Employee-
Excluded Works under ABOR Intellectual Property Policy Section 6-908C.4.), an honorarium or
other reimbursement of expenses for an academic or professional presentation, or an unprofitable
distribution of Material.

Federal immigration laws and regulations relating to employees and warrants its compliance with Section
A.R.S. § 23-214, Subsection A.

immigration laws and regulations relating to the immigration status of their employees during the term of the

Contract. Further, the Contractor shall flow down this requirement to all subcontractors utilized during the
term of the Contract. The State shall retain the right to perform random audits of Contractor and
subcontractor records or to inspect papers of any employee thereof to ensure compliance. Should the State
determine that the Contractor and/or any subcontractors be found noncompliant, the State may pursue all
remedies allowed by law, including, but not limited to; suspension of work, termination of the Contract for
default and suspension and/or debarment of the Contractor.
5. Costs and Payments
5.1 Payments. Payments shall comply with the requirements of A.R.S. Titles 35 and 41, net 30 days. Upon

Accounting and Auditing Procedures Manual for the ADHS.

5.2.1 Unearned Advanced Funds. Any unearned State funds that have been advanced to the Contractor
and remain in its possession at the end of each budget term, or at the time of termination of the
Contract, shall be refunded to the ADHS within forty-five (45) days of the end of a budget term or of
the time of termination.
5.2.2 Contracted Services. In a fixed price contract, if the number of services provided is less than the
number of services for which the Contractor received compensation, funds to be returned to the
ADHS shall be determined by the Contract price. Where the price is determined by cost per unit of
service or material, the funds to be returned shall be determined by multiplying the unit of service
cost by the number of services the Contractor did not provide during the Contract term. Where the
price for a deliverable is fixed, but the deliverable has not been completed, the Contractor shall be
paid a pro rata portion of the completed deliverable. In a cost reimbursement contract, the ADHS
shall pay for any costs that the Contractor can document as having been paid by the Contractor
and approved by ADHS. In addition, the Contractor will be paid its reasonable actual costs for
work in progress as determined by Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures up to the date of
contract termination.
5.2.3 Refunds. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each budget term or of the time of termination

paragraph 5.2.2, Contracted Services.
5.2.4 Unacceptable Expenditures. The Contractor agrees to reimburse the ADHS for all Contract funds
expended, which are determined by the ADHS not to have been disbursed by the Contractor in
accordance with the terms of this Contract. The Contractor shall reimburse ADHS within forty-five
(45) days of the determination of unacceptability.
5.3 Unit Costs/Rates or Fees. Unit costs/rates or fees shall be based on costs, which are determined by ADHS
to be reasonable, allowable and allocable as outlined in the Accounting and Auditing Procedures Manual
for the ADHS.
5.4 Applicable Taxes.
5.4.1 State and Local Transaction Privilege Taxes. The State of Arizona is subject to all applicable state
and local transaction privilege taxes. Transaction privilege taxes apply to the sale and are the
responsibility of the seller to remit. Failure to collect taxes from the buyer does not relieve the
seller from its obligation to remit taxes.
5.4.2 Tax Indemnification. The Contractor and all subcontractors shall pay all federal, state and local
taxes applicable to its operation and any persons employed by the Contractor. Contractor shall
require all subcontractors to hold the State harmless from any responsibility for taxes, damages

have a current I.R.S. W9 Form on file with the State of Arizona.
5.5 Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year. Funds may not be presently available for performance under
this Contract beyond the first year of the budget term or Contract term. The State may reduce payments or
terminate this Contract without further recourse, obligation or penalty in the event that insufficient funds are
appropriated in the subsequent budget term. The State shall not be liable for any purchases or
Subcontracts entered into by the Contractor in anticipation of such funding. The Procurement Officer shall
have the discretion in determining the availability of funds.
5.6 Availability of Funds for the Current Contract Term. Should the State Legislature enter back into session
and decrease the appropriations through line item or general fund reductions, or for any other reason these
goods or services are not funded as determined by ADHS, the following actions may be taken by ADHS:
5.6.1 Accept a decrease in price offered by the Contractor;
5.6.2 Reduce the number of goods or units of service and reduce the payments accordingly;
5.6.3 Offer reductions in funding as an alternative to Contract termination; or
5.6.4 Cancel the Contract.
5.7 Authorization for Provision of Services: Authorization for purchase of services under this contract shall be
made only upon ADHS issuance of a Purchase Order that is signed by an authorized agent. The Purchase
Order will indicate the contract number and the dollar amount of funds authorized. The Contractor shall
only be authorized to perform services up to the amount on the Purchase Order. ADHS shall not have any
legal obligation to pay for services in excess of the amount indicated on the Purchase Order. No further
obligation for payment shall exist on behalf of ADHS unless a) the Purchase Order is changed or modified
with an official ADHS Procurement Change Order, and/or b) an additional Purchase Order is issued for
purchase of services under this contract.

Procurement Officer who signed this Contract. The Contract may be modified only through a Contract

7.2 Mutual Indemnification. Each party (as “indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other party (as “indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorney‟s fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “claims”) arising out of bodily
injury of any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the extent that such claims, which

7.4 Force Majeure.
7.4.1 Liability and Definition. Except for payment of sums due, neither party shall be liable to the other
nor deemed in default under this Contract if and to the extent that such party‟s performance of this

majeure, which such party is unable to prevent by exercising reasonable diligence.
7.4.2 Exclusions. Force Majeure shall not include the following occurrences:
7.4.2.1 Late delivery of Materials caused by congestion at a manufacturer‟s plant or elsewhere, or
an oversold condition of the market;
7.4.2.2 Late performance by a subcontractor unless the delay arises out of a force majeure
occurrence in accordance with this force majeure term and condition; or
7.4.2.3 Inability of either the Contractor or any subcontractor to acquire or maintain any required
insurance, bonds, licenses or permits.
7.4.3 Notice. If either party is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by force majeure, the

later than the following working day of the commencement thereof, and shall specify the causes of
such delay in such notice. Such notice shall be delivered or mailed certified-return receipt and
shall make a specific reference to this article, thereby invoking its provisions. The delayed party
shall cause such delay to cease as soon as practicable and shall notify the other party in writing
when it has done so. The time of completion shall be extended by Contract Amendment for a
period of time equal to the time that the results or effects of such delay prevent the delayed party
from performing in accordance with this Contract.
7.4.4 Default. Any delay or failure in performance by either party hereto shall not constitute default
hereunder or give rise to any claim for damages or loss of anticipated profits if, and to the extent
that, such delay or failure is caused by force majeure.

ADHS15-078134 SCOPE OF WORK
Public Health Accreditation Preparation Activities
1. BACKGROUND
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) is committed to achieving accreditation through the
voluntary Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). The accreditation process focuses on improving public
health services and outcomes by implementing Quality Improvement (QI) practices. In response to the
accreditation standards, ADHS created the Managing for Excellence Program (MEP) concentrating on the
accreditation requirements. In 2011 the Strategic Plan, one (1) of three (3) PHAB prerequisites, was updated.
In 2014 ADHS will focus on the remaining two (2) PHAB prerequisites, a comprehensive „Statewide
Community Health Assessment‟ and the „State Health Improvement Plan‟ (SHIP). An important component of
the planning process is organizing partnerships across the State, collaborating with County Health
Departments, and sharing information gathered from Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community
Health Improvement Plans (CHIP).
The Preventive Health and Health Services Block funding will be aimed at supporting local public health
departments (LHDs) in undertaking accreditation preparation activities. Funding will be provided to LHDs to
engage in activities that will demonstrate a measurable increase in their readiness to achieve Public Health
Accreditation Board (PHAB) accreditation.
Each County will select two (2) or more categories of work, and two (2) or more deliverables within each
category, based on an identified area of need around accreditation readiness.
Opportunities for peer networking, sharing, and technical assistance (TA) will be provided by ADHS.
Counties can select the deliverable(s) based on:
1.1 Feasibility for the LHD to undertake and complete within the project timeframe, and
1.2 Greatest benefit to the LHD in their accreditation readiness. Counties should only choose deliverables
that that will be completed during the course of this project, and not those that have already been
completed.
For each deliverable(s) selected, Counties will be required to describe the activities they propose to undertake
in order to accomplish that deliverable, the corresponding timeframes, and expected outcomes. The County
will also be required to provide an overall budget which will be used to reconcile expenditures by ADHS Local
Health.
For contextual purposes, categories include references to the most closely related domains within the PHAB
Standards and Measures. However, it is understood that work in one (1) or more of the categories may span
across several PHAB domains indirectly, or in conjunction with other categories of work.
2. CATEGORIES SELECTED - The following Categories have been selected from Exhibit 1 and are
incorporated as outlined below:
2.3 Category 3: Building a Culture of Quality Improvement
Quality improvement (QI) is the result of leadership support and requires staff commitment at all levels to
build a culture of quality and ensure it is fully integrated into organizational structures, processes,
services, operations, and more. Counties selecting this category may use this award to conduct activities
that will show progress towards building a culture of Quality Improvement (QI) that will fulfill one (1) or
more of the outlined deliverables (e.g., assessment of current QI culture and description of desired future
state, plan for regularly communicating about QI activities, etc.).
