An Evaluation Committee made up of Los Angeles County Probation staff was formed
to evaluate all seven proposals that passed the initial screening. The evaluation factors

listed in the RFP included the proposer's qualifications such as background, experience,
work history and references; plan for providing services; and quality control plan. The
proposals were scored by the evaluation committee using a point system which rated
the proposal against each of the evaluation criteria.
The proposal submitted by Sentinel Offender Services received the highest rating by the
evaluation committee. Sentinel Offender Services' proposal demonstrated an excellent
working knowledge of the County's expectations, and the structure of the organization
clearly demonstrated the ability to perform the required tasks. Sentinel Offender
Services has made a firm commitment to comply with all RFP requirements.
No protests were received as a result of the solicitation.

Termination for Breach of Warranty to Maintain Compliance with
COUNTY’S Child Support Compliance Program
Failure of the Contractor to maintain compliance with the requirements set
forth in sub-paragraph 8.16 - Contractor’s Warranty of Adherence to
County’s Child Support Compliance Program, shall constitute a default
under this Contract. Without limiting the rights and remedies available to
the County under any other provision of this Contract, failure of the
Contractor to cure such default within ninety (90) calendar days of written
notice shall be grounds upon which the County may terminate this Contract
pursuant to sub-paragraph 8.44 - Termination for Default and pursue
debarment of Contractor, pursuant to County Code Chapter 2.202.

8.43

Termination for Convenience
8.43.1

This Contract may be terminated, in whole or in part, from time to
time, when such action is deemed by the County, in its sole
discretion, to be in its best interest. Termination of work hereunder
shall be effected by notice of termination to Contractor specifying
the extent to which performance of work is terminated and the date
upon which such termination becomes effective. The date upon
which such termination becomes effective shall be no less than ten
(10) days after the notice is sent.

8.43.2 After receipt of a notice of termination and except as otherwise
directed by the County, the Contractor shall:
ƒ

Stop work under this Contract on the date and to the extent
specified in such notice, and

ƒ

Complete performance of such part of the work as shall not
have been terminated by such notice.

8.43.3

All material including books, records, documents, or other evidence
bearing on the costs and expenses of the Contractor under this
Contract shall be maintained by the Contractor in accordance with
sub-paragraph 8.39, Record Retention and Inspection/Audit
Settlement.

8.43.4

After the receipt of a Notice of Termination, CONTRACTOR shall
submit to COUNTY, in the form and with the certifications as may
be prescribed by COUNTY, his termination claim and invoice. Such
claim and invoice shall be submitted promptly, but not later than
three (3) months from the effective date of termination. Upon failure
of CONTRACTOR to submit his termination claim and invoice
within the time allowed, COUNTY may determine on the basis of

Contract
Electronic Monitoring Via Global Positioning Satellite Services Program

Page 38

information available to COUNTY, the amount, if any, due to
CONTRACTOR in respect to the termination and such
determination shall be final. After such determination is made,
COUNTY shall pay CONTRACTOR the amount so determined.

8.44

8.43.5

Subject to the provisions of the paragraph immediately above,
COUNTY and CONTRACTOR shall negotiate an equitable amount
to be paid CONTRACTOR by reason of the total or partial
termination of work pursuant to this clause. Said amount may
include a reasonable allowance for profit on work done but shall
not include an allowance on work terminated. COUNTY shall pay
the agreed amount; subject to other limitations and provided that
such amount shall not exceed the total funding obligated under this
contract as reduced by the amount of payments otherwise made
and as further reduced by the contract price of work not terminated.

8.43.6

All material including books, records, documents, or other evidence
bearing on the costs and expenses of the CONTRACTOR under
this Contract shall be maintained by the CONTRACTOR in the
CONTRACTOR’S program.

Termination for Default
8.44.1

The County may, by written notice to the Contractor, terminate the
whole or any part of this Contract, if, in the judgment of County’s
Project Manager:
A. Contractor has materially breached this Contract or;
B. Contractor fails to timely provide and/or satisfactorily perform
any task, deliverable, service, or other work required either
under this Contract; or
C. Contractor fails to demonstrate a high probability of timely
fulfillment of performance requirements under this Contract, or
of any obligations of this Contract and in either case, fails to
demonstrate convincing progress toward a cure within five (5)
working days (or such longer period as the County may
authorize in writing) after receipt of written notice from the
County specifying such failure.

8.44.2

In the event that the County terminates this Contract in whole or in
part as provided in sub-paragraph 8.44.1, the County may procure,
upon such terms and in such manner as the County may deem
appropriate, goods and services similar to those so terminated.
The Contractor shall be liable to the County for any and all excess

Contract
Electronic Monitoring Via Global Positioning Satellite Services Program

Page 39

costs incurred by the County, as determined by the County, for
such similar goods and services. The Contractor shall continue the
performance of this Contract to the extent not terminated under the
provisions of this sub-paragraph.
8.44.3

Except with respect to defaults of any Subcontractor, the
Contractor shall not be liable for any such excess costs of the type
identified in sub-paragraph 8.44.2 if its failure to perform this
Contract arises out of causes beyond the control and without the
fault or negligence of the Contractor. Such causes may include,
but are not limited to: acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of
the County in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, acts of
Federal or State governments in their sovereign capacities, fires,
floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight
embargoes, and unusually severe weather; but in every case, the
failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault
or negligence of the Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused
by the default of a Subcontractor, and if such default arises out of
causes beyond the control of both the Contractor and
Subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either of them,
the Contractor shall not be liable for any such excess costs for
failure to perform, unless the goods or services to be furnished by
the Subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient
time to permit the Contractor to meet the required performance
schedule. As used in this sub-paragraph 8.44.3, the terms
"Subcontractor" and "Subcontractors" mean Subcontractor(s) at
any tier.

8.44.4

If, after the County has given notice of termination under the
provisions of this sub-paragraph 8.44, it is determined by the
County that the Contractor was not in default under the provisions
of this sub-paragraph 8.44, or that the default was excusable under
the provisions of Sub-paragraph 8.43.3, the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be the same as if the notice of termination had
been issued pursuant to sub-paragraph 8.43, Termination for
Convenience.

8.44.5

In the event the County terminates this Contract in its entirety due
to the Contractor’s default as provided in Sub-paragraph 8.44.1,
the Contractor and the County agree that the County will have
actual damages, which are extremely difficult to calculate and
impracticable to fix and which will include, but are not limited to, the
County’s costs of procurement of replacement services and costs
incurred due to delays in procuring such services. Therefore, the
Contractor and the County agree that the County shall, at its sole
option and in lieu of the provisions of Sub-paragraph 8.44.2, be

Contract
Electronic Monitoring Via Global Positioning Satellite Services Program

Page 40

entitled to liquidated damages from the Contractor, pursuant to
California Civil Code Section 1671, in the amount of Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) or five percent (5%) of the applicable year's
Contract sum, whichever is less, as equitable compensation to the
County for such actual damages. This amount of liquidated
damages shall be either paid by the Contractor to the County by
cash payment upon demand or, at the sole discretion of the
Probation, or designee, deducted from any amounts due to the
Contractor by the County, whether under this Contract or
otherwise.
These liquidated damages shall be in addition to any credits, which
the County is otherwise entitled to under this Contract, and the
Contractor’s payment of these liquidated damages shall not in any
way change, or affect the provisions of Sub-paragraph 8.24 Indemnification.
8.44.6

8.45

The rights and remedies of the County provided in this Subparagraph 8.44 shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any
other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Contract.

Termination for Improper Consideration
8.45.1

The County may, by written notice to the Contractor, immediately
terminate the right of the Contractor to proceed under this Contract
if it is found that consideration, in any form, was offered or given by
the Contractor, either directly or through an intermediary, to any
County officer, employee, or agent with the intent of securing this
Contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the award,
amendment, or extension of this Contract or the making of any
determinations with respect to the Contractor’s performance
pursuant to this Contract. In the event of such termination, the
County shall be entitled to pursue the same remedies against the
Contractor as it could pursue in the event of default by the
Contractor.

8.45.2

The Contractor shall immediately report any attempt by a County
officer or employee to solicit such improper consideration. The
report shall be made either to the County manager charged with
the supervision of the employee or to the County AuditorController's Employee Fraud Hotline at (800) 544-6861.

comply with the County’s Lobbyist Ordinance shall constitute a material
breach of this Contract, upon which the County may in its sole discretion,
immediately terminate or suspend this Contract. A copy of which is

of this Contract.

CONTRACTOR’S CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES COMPLIANCE

The Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act

Charitable Purposes Act requirements. By requiring Contractors to
complete the Charitable Contributions Certification, Exhibit T, the County
seeks to ensure that all County contractors which receive or raise
charitable contributions comply with California law in order to protect the
County and its taxpayers. A Contractor which receives or raises
charitable contributions without complying with its obligations under
California law commits a material breach subjecting it to either contract
termination or debarment proceedings or both. (County Code Chapter
2.202)

INTRODUCTION
PROGRAM PURPOSE
The purpose of the GPS Program is to enhance public safety and ensure the probationer’s
accountability through the use of electronic monitoring technology. Utilizing this technology
will assist the Deputy Probation Officer (DPO) in monitoring the probationer’s compliance
with legal mandates, court orders, and a treatment plan that will facilitate a positive
behavioral change and reduce the risk of recidivism.
TECHNOLOGY
GPS technology is different from traditional monitoring technology. Electronic Monitoring
detects the presence or absence of an individual at a specific place, typically home. A
GPS tracking unit will log GPS data points in short intervals while the probationer is both at
home and in the community. GPS provides significantly more detail about a probationer’s
movement in the community, detail that assists with the supervision and behavior
management/modification of higher risk probationers.
HANDBOOK PURPOSE
The purpose of the standards and procedures presented in this manual, along with the
Probation Department's screening process of referred probationers and its auditing
component, is to provide the highest level of service to the courts and maintain a high
regard for community protection.
This manual will explain standards and procedures for the processing and the monitoring
of program probationers and the maintenance of documentation in case files.
The Contractor providing GPS services for Los Angeles County on a daily 24-hour
continuous basis shall comply with the Los Angeles County Probation Department's
GPS Procedures Manual (GPSPM).
There shall be no deviation from the standards and/or procedures contained in this
manual without the prior written approval of the Probation Department.
The County will evaluate the Contractor’s contract performance using various quality
assurance measurements. Compliance with the GPSPM's standards and procedures will
be one of those measurements.

successful all parties can integrate: GPS technology, Contractor responsibility, program
implementation by the DPOs and the participation of the probationer. The SDPO should
ensure that each and every probationer supervised by their DPOs receive the treatment
and supervision commensurate with the probationers’ individual risks and needs. Once
again, the SDPO must be aware of and acknowledge responsibility for the safety and
protection of the victims and of the people of the County of Los Angeles.
The SDPO will:
•

Ensure that all DPOs with probationers participating in the GPS program have a
“backup partner” that will be available for handling emergencies, in the assigned
DPO’s absence.

JURY SERVICE ORDINANCE

Exhibit H – Jury Ordinance
Electronic Monitoring Via Global Positioning Satellite Services Program

Page 119

Page 1 of 3
Title 2 ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 2.203.010 through 2.203.090
CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE JURY SERVICE

2.203.010 Findings.
The board of supervisors makes the following findings. The county of Los Angeles allows its permanent,
full-time employees unlimited jury service at their regular pay. Unfortunately, many businesses do not
offer or are reducing or even eliminating compensation to employees who serve on juries. This creates a
potential financial hardship for employees who do not receive their pay when called to jury service, and
those employees often seek to be excused from having to serve. Although changes in the court rules
make it more difficult to excuse a potential juror on grounds of financial hardship, potential jurors continue
to be excused on this basis, especially from longer trials. This reduces the number of potential jurors and
increases the burden on those employers, such as the county of Los Angeles, who pay their permanent,
full-time employees while on juror duty. For these reasons, the county of Los Angeles has determined
that it is appropriate to require that the businesses with which the county contracts possess reasonable
jury service policies.
2.203.020 Definitions.
The following definitions shall be applicable to this chapter:
A.

“Contractor” means a person, partnership, corporation or other entity which has a contract with
the county or a subcontract with a county contractor and has received or will receive an aggregate
sum of $50,000 or more in any 12-month period under one or more such contracts or
subcontracts.

B.

“Employee” means any California resident who is a full-time employee of a contractor under the
laws of California.

C.

“Contract” means any agreement to provide goods to, or perform services for or on behalf of, the
county but does not include:
1. A contract where the board finds that special circumstances exist that justify a waiver of the
requirements of this chapter; or
2. A contract where federal or state law or a condition of a federal or state program mandates the
use of a particular contractor; or
3. A purchase made through a state or federal contract; or
4. A monopoly purchase that is exclusive and proprietary to a specific manufacturer, distributor,
or reseller, and must match and inter-member with existing supplies, equipment or systems
maintained by the county pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and
Procedures Manual, section P-3700 or a successor provision; or
5. A revolving fund (petty cash) purchase pursuant to the Los Angeles County Fiscal Manual,
section 4.4.0 or a successor provision; or

County Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual, section A-0300 or a successor provision;
or
8. A bona fide emergency purchase pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and
Procedures Manual, section PP-1100 or a successor provision.
D.

“Full time” means 40 hours or more worked per week or a lesser number of hours if the lesser
number is a recognized industry standard as determined by the chief administrative officer or the
contractor has a long-standing practice that defines a full-time schedule as less than 40 hours per
week.

2.203.030 Applicability.
This chapter shall apply to contractors who enter into contracts that commence after July 11, 2002. This
chapter shall also apply to contractors with existing contracts which are extended into option years that
commence after July 11, 2002. Contracts that commence after May 28,2002, but before July 11, 2002,
shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter only if the solicitations for such contracts stated that the
chapter would be applicable.
2.203.040 Contractor Jury Service Policy.
A contractor shall have and adhere to a written policy that provides that its employees shall receive from
the contractor, on an annual basis, no less than five days of regular pay for actual jury service. The policy
may provide that employees’ deposit any fees received for such jury service with the contractor or that
the contractor deduct from the employees’ regular pay the fees received for jury service.
2.203.050 Other Provisions.
A.

Administration. The chief administrative officer shall be responsible for the administration of this
chapter. The chief administrative officer may, with the advice of county counsel, issue
interpretations of the provisions of this chapter and shall issue written instructions on the
implementation and ongoing administration of this chapter. Such instructions may provide for the
delegation of functions to other county departments.

B.

Compliance Certification. At the time of seeking a contract, a contractor shall certify to the county
that it has and adheres to a policy consistent with this chapter or will have and adhere to such a
policy prior to award of the contract.

2.203.060 Enforcement and Remedies.
For a contractor’s violation of any provision of this chapter, the county department head responsible for
administering the contract may do one or more of the following:

Other Laws. This chapter shall not be interpreted or applied to any contractor or to any employee
in a manner inconsistent with the laws of the United States or California.

B.

Collective Bargaining Agreements. This chapter shall be superseded by a collective bargaining
agreement that expressly so provides.

C.

Small Business. This chapter shall not be applied to any contractor that meets all of the following:
1. Has ten or fewer employees during the contract period; and,
2. Has annual gross revenues in the preceding twelve months which, if added to the annual
amount of the contract awarded, are less than $500,000; and,
3. Is not an affiliate or subsidiary of a business dominant in its field of operation?
“Dominant in its field of operation” means having more than ten employees and annual gross
revenues in the preceding twelve months which, if added to the annual amount of the contract
awarded, exceed $500,000.
“Affiliate or subsidiary of a business dominant in its field of operation” means a business which
is at least 20 percent owned by a business dominant in its field of operation, or by partners,
officers, directors, majority stockholders, or their equivalent, of a business dominant in that
field of operation.

2.203.090. Severability.
If any provision of this chapter is found invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

When an instance of unacceptable performance comes to the attention of Probation personnel,
a User Complaint Form (UCR) may be filled out and forwarded to the Quality Assurance
Evaluator. The complaint will be investigated, if necessary, and may be brought to the attention
of the CONTRACTOR.
The CONTRACTOR shall be required to explain, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days of date

AGREEMENT CONTRACTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AS A
“BUSINESS ASSOCIATE” UNDER THE HEALTH INSURANCE
PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996 (HIPAA)

Exhibit N – Agreement Contractor’s Obligations as a “Business Associate” Under (HIPAA)
Electronic Monitoring Via Global Positioning Satellite Services Program

Page 138

PAGE 1 OF 6

AGREEMENT
CONTRACTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AS A “BUSINESS ASSOCIATE”
UNDER THE HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT OF 1996 (HIPAA)
Under this Agreement, Contractor (“Business Associate”) provides services (“Services”) to
County (“Covered Entity”) and Business Associate receives, has access to, or creates Protected
Health Information in order to provide those Services. Covered Entity is subject to the
Administrative Simplification requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and regulations promulgated thereunder, including the Standards for
Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (“the Privacy Regulations”) and the Health
Insurance Reform: Security Standards (“the Security Regulations”) at 45 Code of Federal
Regulations Parts 160 and 164 (“together, the “Privacy and Security Regulations”).
The Privacy and Security Regulations require Covered Entity to enter into a contract with
Business Associate in order to mandate certain protections for the privacy and security of
Protected Health Information, and those Regulations prohibit the disclosure to or use of
Protected Health Information by Business Associate if such a contract is not in place.
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1.0

DEFINITIONS

1.1

“Disclose” and “Disclosure” means, with respect to Protected Health Information, the
release, transfer, provision of access to, or divulging in any other manner of Protected
Health Information outside Business Associate’s internal operations or to other than its
employees.

1.2

“Electronic Media” has the same meaning as the term “electronic media” in 45 C.F.R. §
160.103. Electronic Media means (1) Electronic storage media including memory
devices in computers (hard drives) and any removable/transportable digital memory
medium, such as magnetic tape or disk, optical disk, or digital memory card; or (2)
Transmission media used to exchange information already in electronic storage media.
Transmission media include, for example, the internet (wide-open), extranet (using
internet technology to link a business with information accessible only to collaborating
parties), leased lines, dial-up lines, private networks, and the physical movement of
removable/transportable electronic storage media. Certain transmissions, including of
paper, via facsimile, and of voice, via telephone, are not considered to be transmissions
via electronic media, because the information being exchanged did not exist in electronic
