PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The purpose of the recommended Contract is to provide document imaging of
paper documents for electronic storage by the Alternate Public Defender,
District Attorney, Probation, Public Defender and Sheriff Departments. Each
department has a significant need to convert case files, booking and incident
documents into electronic format.

HOA.62S863.6

Countywide Criminal Justice Coordination Committee

DEVELOPING ACCESSIBLE & ACCURATE AUTOMATED JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Each Supervisor

The Alternate Public Defender and Public Defender are required to maintain
case file information and related documents including arrest reports, court
documents (complaint, petitions, pleas and waiver forms, arrest/bench warrants)
police reports, jury selection documents, subpoenas, motions, priors (rap sheet,
department of corrections packet), assessment records, probationer reporting
documents, photographs, handwritten and machine printed documents, and other
related documents, which may need to be kept for the life of the defendant
depending on the document type and source. These records are being stored
electronically to allow for the automated retrieval of the information.
The District Attorney's Office is required to maintain misdemeanor case files
for five years, felony case files for 25 years and life-term case files indefinitely.
The documents contained in the case files are in hard copy format kept at
various locations throughout the County. These records are being stored
electronically to allow for the automated retrieval of the information.
The Probation Department is required to maintain probation, pretrial
investigation, and supervision case files and related documents that may include
arrest reports, court orders and reports, assessment records, probationer reporting
documents, financial collection and payment files, photographs, handwritten and
machine printed documents, which must be kept for a period of time based on
the document type and source. Storage of these records is currently kept at
various Probation property and supply facilities. These records are being stored
electronically to allow for the automated retrieval of the information.
The Sheriff's Department maintains various booking and incident reports
originating from the stations and custodial facilities in hard copy. These records
are being stored electronically to allow for the automated retrieval of the
information.
Archive volume coupled with electronic document management systems for
these criminal justice agencies is essential. In addition, County agencies
currently maintain large warehouses for the storage of paper case files.
Continued electronic imaging will allow retention schedules to be better
coordinated and allow for destruction of paper documents after imaging,
resulting in the need for less warehouse space.

Implementation of Strategic Plan Goals
The public/private partnership between the County of Los Angeles and
SOURCECORP BPS Inc. supports Strategic Plan Goals No.1, Operational
Effectiveness, and Goal No.5, Public Safety, by providing responsive, efficient
and high quality public service through teamwork and collaboration.

FISCAL IMPACTIFINANCING
The maximum County obligation under the proposed Contract for all five
participating County Departments is $37 million over the entire Contract term,
including the Initial Term of five (5) years and the Extended Term of up to three
(3) years. Funding for this Contract will be provided by each participating
Department from current budget allocations with ongoing year costs budgeted
each fiscal year.
The Departments' estimated budget allocations for this Contract are as follows:
~

Alternate Public Defender - $2 million for the Initial Term of Contract
plus $1.2 million for the Extended Term.

District Attorney - $8 million for the Initial Term of Contract plus $4.8
million for the Extended Term.

Probation Department - $3 million for the Initial Term of Contract plus
$1.8 million for the Extended Term.

Public Defender - $4.8 million for the Initial Term of Contract plus $2.9
mjJlion for the Extended Term.

Sheriff's Department - $5 million for the Initial Term of Contract plus
$3 million for the Extended Term.

FACTS AND PROVISIONSILEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The Contract is Non-Prop A, since approval of this Contract will not displace
County employees, and the Services offered under this Contract currently cannot
be performed by the individual County Departments due to specialized
equipment needs. Further, ISAB will not require SOURCECORP to perform
Services in excess of the Board approved Contract amount, scope of work
and/or Contract dates.
The Contract contains all the latest Board required and policy driven provisions,
such as Consideration of GAIN/GROW Program Participants for Employment,
Compliance with Jury Service Program, Safely SUlTendered Baby Law,
Assignment and Delegation, and Budget Reductions. County Counsel has
approved this Contract as to form.

CONTRACTING PROCESS
On February 2, 2009, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Document Imaging
Services was released by being posted on the County's website (bid number
ISAB-001). A bidders' conference was held on February 26, 2009 with thirteen
HOA.625863.6

Each Supervisor
August 4, 2009
Page 4

(13) companies in attendance. Bids were closed on March 16 with eight (8)
proposals received by the closing deadline. Proposal evaluations were
completed on June 5, 2009. The evaluation committee recommended
SOURCECORP BPS Inc. as the winning vendor based on price, technical
capability and likelihood of risk.

IMPACT ON CURRENT SERVICES (OR PROJECTS)
The current imaging vendor has entered into the last year of the existing imaging
services agreement with the County and wishes to terminate the existing
agreement as soon as possible. The County, in anticipation of the termination of
the existing agreement, issued an RFP to replace the existing agreement.
Continuation of imaging services is essential to the ISAB member Departments
in order to control costs associated with effective document retrieval and
increased storage of paper case files.

CONCLUSION
Upon Board of Supervisors approval, it is requested that the Executive Officer,
Clerk of the Board return two (2) adopted stamped Board letters to: Information
Systems Advisory Body, Attention Felix Basadre, Assistant Director, 12750
Center Court Drive, Suite 500, Cerritos, CA 90703.

FORCE MAJEURE

27.1

Neither party shall be liable for such party's failure to perform its obligations under and in
accordance with this Contract, if such failure arises out of fires, floods, epidemics,

HOA.622393.5

DOCUMENT IMAGING SERVICES

JULY 2009

quarantine restrictions, other natural occurrences, strikes, lockouts (other than a lockout
by such party or any of such party's subcontractors), freight embargoes, or other similar
events to those described above, but in every such case the failure to perform must be
totally beyond the control and without any fault or negligence of such party (such events
are referred to in this Paragraph 27 as "force majeure events").
27.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default by a subcontractor of Contractor shall not
constitute a force majeure event, unless such default arises out of causes beyond the
control of both Contractor and such subcontractor, and without any fault or negligence of
either of them. In such case, Contractor shall not be liable 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 Contractor to meet the required performance
schedule. As used in this Paragraph 27, the term “subcontractor” and “subcontractors”
mean subcontractors at any tier.

27.3

In the event Contractor's failure to perform arises out of a force majeure event, Contractor
agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain goods or services from other
sources, if applicable, and to otherwise mitigate the damages and reduce the delay caused
by such force majeure event.

the County of Los Angeles.

This Contract is by and between County and Contractor and is not intended, and shall not
be construed, to create the relationship of agent, servant, employee, partnership, joint
venture, or association, as between County and Contractor. The employees and agents of
one party shall not be, or be construed to be, the employees or agents of the other party
for any purpose whatsoever.

29.2

Contractor shall be solely liable and responsible for providing to, or on behalf of, all
persons performing work pursuant to this Contract all compensation and benefits. County
shall have no liability or responsibility for the payment of any salaries, wages,
unemployment benefits, disability benefits, Federal, State, or local taxes, or other
compensation, benefits, or taxes for any personnel provided by or on behalf of
Contractor.

29.3

Contractor understands and agrees that all persons performing work pursuant to this
Contract are, for purposes of Workers' Compensation liability, solely employees of
Contractor and not employees of County. Contractor shall be solely liable and
responsible for furnishing any and all Workers' Compensation benefits to any person as a
result of any injuries arising from or connected with any work performed by or on behalf
of Contractor pursuant to this Contract.

(b)

Deduct liquidated damages. The parties agree that it will be impracticable or
extremely difficult to fix the extent of actual damages resulting from the failure of
Contractor to correct a deficiency within the specified time frame. The parties
hereby agree that under the current circumstances a reasonable estimate of such
damages is One Hundred Dollars ($100) per day per infraction, or as specified in

liable to County for liquidated damages in said amount. Said amount shall be
deducted from County’s payment to Contractor; and/or

be County forces or separate private contractor, will be deducted and forfeited
from the payment to Contractor from County, as determined by County.

of payment to Contractor to recover County cost due to the failure of Contractor to
complete or comply with the provisions of this Contract.

This Paragraph 33 shall not, in any manner, restrict or limit County’s right to damages for
any breach of this Contract provided by law or as specified in the PRS or Paragraph 33.2,

during regular business hours to verify compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph

independently that the anti-discrimination provisions of this Contract have been violated,

law, County shall make a reasonable effort to maintain the confidentiality of such audit
report(s).

45.2

Failure on the part of Contractor to comply with any of the provisions of this Paragraph

or termination of this Contract, representatives of County conduct an audit of Contractor

amounts due to Contractor from County, whether under this Contract or otherwise. If
such audit finds that County’s dollar liability for such work is more than the payments

County’s approval of Contractor’s proposed subcontract.

COMPLIANCE WITH COUNTY’S CHILD SUPPORT COMPLIANCE
PROGRAM
Failure of Contractor to maintain compliance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph
21 (Contractor’s Warranty of Adherence to County’s Child Support Compliance
Program), shall constitute default under this Contract. Without limiting the rights and
remedies available to County under any other provision of this Contract, failure of
Contractor to cure such default within ninety (90) calendar days of written notice shall be
grounds upon which County may terminate this Contract pursuant to Paragraph 50
(Termination for Default) and pursue debarment of Contractor pursuant to County Code
Chapter 2.202.

49.

TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE

49.1

This Contract may be terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time, when such
action is deemed by 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

50.

TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT

50.1

County may, by written notice to Contractor, terminate the whole or any part of this
Contract, if, in the judgment of County:
i.

Contractor has materially breached this Contract; or

ii.

Contractor fails to timely provide and/or satisfactorily perform any task,
deliverable, service, or other work required either under this Contract; or

iii.

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 County may authorize
in writing) after receipt of written notice from County specifying such failure.

50.2

In the event that County terminates this Contract in whole or in part as provided in
Paragraph 50.1, County may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as County
may deem appropriate, goods and services similar to those so terminated. Contractor
shall be liable to County for any and all excess costs incurred by County, as determined
by County, for such similar goods and services. Contractor shall continue the
performance of this Contract to the extent not terminated under the provisions of this
Paragraph 50.2.

50.3

Except with respect to defaults of any subcontractor, Contractor shall not be liable for
any such excess costs of the type identified in Paragraph 50.2 if its failure to perform this
Contract arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of
Contractor. Such causes may include, but are not limited to: acts of God or of the public
enemy, acts of 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
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 Contractor and subcontractor,
and without the fault or negligence of either of them, 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
Contractor to meet the required performance schedule. As used in this Paragraph 51.3,
the terms "subcontractor" and "subcontractors" mean subcontractor(s) at any tier.

50.4

If, after County has given notice of termination under the provisions of this Paragraph 50,
it is determined by County that Contractor was not in default under the provisions of this

HOA.622393.5

DOCUMENT IMAGING SERVICES

JULY 2009

Paragraph 50, or that the default was excusable under the provisions of Paragraph 50.3,
the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the notice of termination
had been issued pursuant to Paragraph 49 (Termination for Convenience).

SCOPE OF WORK
Electronic document management is a strategic initiative of the County of Los Angeles
(“County”). In order to meet legal records retention requirements and comply with requests from
the public, government agencies and other law enforcement agencies for information, the County
Departments must implement cost-effective strategies for the secure archival and retrieval of
their documents.
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) provides the specifications and requirements for the
Contractor to convert paper documents to digital images and provide other work relating to
document imaging for County’s Sheriff, District Attorney, Public Defender, Alternate Public
Defender and Probation Department (“Document Imaging Services”). Additionally, a conversion
of archived images in a proprietary format will need to be converted for the Sheriff’s
Department. The documents to be imaged will include multi section booking jackets with
sections A-H, booking jackets, station booking reports, incident reports, arrest reports, court
reports, photographs, case investigation/supervision files (including various handwritten and
machine printed documents), forms and reports, financial collections files and related documents,
and various loose papers, as further specified herein. The resultant images will be imported into
the respective Department’s document management system(s) and will be managed according to
each Department’s specific requirements. No estimates of volumes are guaranteed by County as
the minimum for each month.
As part of the Document Imaging Services, Contractor shall also provide storage and shredding
of documents as required by County, as further specified herein.

2.0

BACKGROUND
The Sheriff’s Department maintains various booking and incident reports. The booking and
incident reports that originate from the stations and custodial facilities are in hard copy format.
With limited space in these stations, hard copy records and documents cannot be stored and
maintained over a long period. Up until 2001, these records and documents were stored on
microfilm or microfiche. Since then, the records are being stored electronically in a “.dms”
format. Electronic storage of the records allows for the automated retrieval of the stored
information, a method more efficient and less time consuming than retrieving the data from hard
copy reports, microfilm or microfiche.
The District Attorney’s Office is required to maintain case files for specific periods depending on
the case type. Misdemeanor case files must be retained for five (5) years, felony case files for
twenty five (25) years and life-term case files indefinitely. The various documents that make up
these case files are in hard copy format and are maintained in various locations throughout the
County. In order to meet retention requirements and address the problem of warehousing
millions of paper case files, the District Attorney’s Office is implementing an electronic
document management system.
The Probation Department is required to maintain Probation and Pretrial Investigation and
Supervision case files and related documents that include arrest reports, court reports, assessment
records, court orders, Probationer reporting documentation, financial collections files, payment
documentation, photographs, forms and reports, including various handwritten and machine
printed documents, for a period of time depending on the document type and source. Storage of
the Pretrial and Budget and Fiscal packet hard copies has been offsite at a Probation Property and

HOA.622850.4

DOCUMENT IMAGING SERVICES

JULY 2009

Supply facility. The Adult and juvenile Probation Folders are returned to Probation’s Central
Records Section for destruction after a Quality and Assurance check. Currently, onsite retrieval
of archived documents is accomplished with microfilm images. Archive volume and equipment
failure, as well as improving technology, require implementation of an electronic document
management system. Since, 2006, the Probation Department has implemented the Digital
Imaging process, the records and documents are stored electronically in the PEDMS Archival
Library. Electronic storage of the records allows for the automated retrieval of the stored
information, which is more efficient and less time consuming than retrieving the data from hard
copy reports or microfilm. The Probation Department is imaging the Adult Probation Files
(APF), Juvenile Probation Files (JPF), Pretrial Packets (PRP), and Budget and Fiscal Files (ARF,
JRF, JRB).
The Public Defender and Alternate Public Defender are required to maintain case files for the
lifetimes of its clients. Since there is no viable method of determining those periods, the Public
Defender and Alternate Public Defender do not destroy any physical records. The various
documents that make up these case files are in hard copy format and are maintained in various
locations throughout the County. In order to address the problem of warehousing millions of
paper case files, the Public Defender and Alternate Public Defender are implementing an
electronic document management system.

locations. Contractor and County shall develop a specific time schedule for pickup and
return of boxes for each Department, based on the project requirements and during

Attachment A.2 (Pickup and Return Locations). Any updates to the pickup and return
locations shall automatically be incorporated into and replace the then current Attachment
A.1 (Pickup and Return Locations).

3.5

Upon receipt of the files transmitted to Contractor, Contractor shall be responsible for
reorganizing the files in the sequence noted on the transmittal sheet, whenever there is a
discrepancy between the transmittal sheet and the sequence of files within a box.

3.6

Locations are subject to change based on the need of County. County will provide
Contractor with written notification prior to location change. County and Contractor will
agree to a minimum number of boxes to be picked up at any location. Should an
sufficient number of boxes not be ready at the designated pickup time and date, County
will update the request for a pickup during the following week and will notify Contractor
at least 24 hours prior to that next week’s pickup time.

8.2.15 During the indexing process, Contractor shall verify each page to ensure quality
images. Documents that require rescanning shall be taken out of the indexing
queue and placed in rescanning area.
8.2.16 In the event that County’s stations and custodial facilities are not able to produce
an index/transmittal sheet of all packages sent to Contractor, Contractor shall

conventions, which are fully compatible with and supported by Visiflow Connect
as follows:
8.2.18.1

Image Documents and associated index information created for County
shall be placed on Contractor’s secured server accessible by FTP, for
use by the Visiflow system. The target FTP system will contain one (1)
or more Image Document(s) and a single index file. Each Document
Image File that is created must have an entry inserted into the Index
Text File. This text file will contain a single line of index values for
each and every Document Image File created by Contractor and placed
on the target FTP system. The index value should be a fixed length and
separated by a delimiting character, such as a “PIPE” (l).

8.2.18.2

Contractor shall not use standard punctuation characters, such as
comma or semi-colon. The last entry in the index line must represent
the Document Image File location name. For example, if the Index File
is located at the root, and the Image Documents are in a sub directory
named “IMAGES”, the last parameter in the index line should read
“\IMAGES\xxxxxxxx.tif, where xxxxxxxx.tif is the actual name of the
Image Document. The target FTP system should be built to NOT use a
directory structure; in other words, the single Index File and multiple
Image Document Files should be placed in single directory structures
off of the root.

8.2.18.3

Image Document Files should be created to Bitonal Group 4 TIFF
Multi-Page standards. Each package (Booking Jacket Package,
Incident Report Package, and Station Booking Package) will contain
one or more documents. Each document file will contain one or more
pages related as a single entity. For example, a single Booking Jacket
Package may contain multiple documents, each of which may contain
multiple pages. A single document will represent a single image file on
the Target FTP System and a single entry in the Index File.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
A Performance Requirements Summary (“PRS”), specified in Schedule B.2 (Performance
Requirements Summary), lists the required services that will be monitored by County during the
term of this Contract. All listings of services used in the PRS are intended to be completely
consistent with the Contract and the SOW, and are not meant in any case to create, extend,
revise, or expand any obligation of Contractor beyond that defined in the Contract and the SOW.
In any case of apparent inconsistency between services as stated in the Contract and the SOW
and this PRS, the meaning apparent in the Contract and the SOW will prevail. If any service
seems to be created in this PRS which is not clearly and forthrightly set forth in the Contract and
the SOW, that apparent service will be null and void and place no requirement on Contractor.
If Contractor’s performance does not conform to the requirements of this Contract, County will
have the option to apply the following non-performance remedies:
9.1

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
To require Contractor to implement a formal corrective action plan, subject to approval
by County. In the plan, Contractor must include reasons for the unacceptable
performance, specific steps to return performance to an acceptable level, and monitoring
methods to prevent recurrence.

9.2

PAYMENT OPTIONS
To reduce payment to Contractor by a computed amount based on the penalty fee(s) in
the PRS.

9.3

CONTRACT OPTIONS
To reduce, suspend or cancel the Contract for systematic, deliberate misrepresentations or
unacceptable levels of performance.

perform said service(s), as determined by County, shall be credited to County on
Contractor’s future invoice.
This Section 9.0 does not preclude County’s right to terminate the Contract upon ten (10)
days written notice with or without cause, or as otherwise provided in Paragraph 49

GENERAL INFORMATION
The organization identified above ("Contractor") is under contract ("Contract") to provide certain services
("Services") to the County of Los Angeles (“County”). The County requires each employee of this Contractor
performing services under this Contract to understand his/her obligations with respect to the personal and
proprietary data with which he/she will be in contact, and to acknowledge such obligations by executing this
Employee Acknowledgment, Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement.

EMPLOYEE STATUS ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I understand and agree that the above-referenced Contractor is my sole employer for purposes of the abovereferenced Contract. I understand and agree that I must rely exclusively upon my employer for payment of salary
and any and all other benefits payable to me or on my behalf by virtue of my performance of work pursuant to the
above-referenced Contract.
I understand and agree that I am not an employee of the County for any purpose whatsoever and that I do not have
and will not acquire any rights or benefits of any kind from the County by virtue of my performance of work
under the above-referenced Contract. I understand and agree that I do not have and will not acquire any rights or
benefits from the County pursuant to any agreement between any person or entity and the County of Los Angeles.
I understand and agree that I may be required to undergo a background and security investigation(s). I understand
and agree that my continued performance of services under the above-referenced Contract is contingent upon my
passing, to the satisfaction of the County, any and all such investigations. I understand and agree that my failure to
pass, to the satisfaction of the County, any such investigation shall result in my immediate release from performance
under this Contract and/or any future contracts.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
My work may be concerned with services provided by the County, and, therefore I may have access to
confidential data and information pertaining to private individuals and/or entities receiving such services. I may
also have access to proprietary information belonging to other organizations doing business with the County. The
County has a legal obligation to keep confidential all such data and information in its possession, especially data
and information concerning health, criminal and welfare recipient records. I understand that, by virtue of my
involvement in County work, I too must protect the confidentiality of such data and information. I understand
that I must sign this agreement to be eligible to perform work for my employer under the County Contract. I have
read this agreement and have taken due time to consider it prior to signing.
I agree not to disclose to, nor reproduce for the benefit of, any unauthorized person any data or information
obtained while performing work under the above-referenced Contract between my employer and County. I agree

to forward all requests for disclosure or copying of any such data or information in my possession or care to my
immediate supervisor. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that no obligation of confidentiality applies to
residual knowledge learned (such as ideas, concepts know-how or techniques) and experience gained by me as a
result of performing the Services. In addition, nothing herein shall prevent me or Contractor from providing to
others similar services to the Services, subject to any obligations of confidentiality.
I agree to protect from loss and to keep confidential all health, criminal and welfare recipient records and all data,
information and materials pertaining to persons and/or entities receiving services from the County, design
concepts, algorithms, programs, formats, documentation, Contractor’s proprietary information, and all other
original materials produced, created or provided to or by me under the above-referenced Contract. I agree to
protect these confidential materials against disclosure to other than my employer or County employees who have
a need to know the information. I agree that if proprietary information supplied by other County vendors is
provided to me during this employment, I shall keep such information confidential.
I agree to report to my immediate supervisor any and all unauthorized disclosures or copying of confidential or
proprietary data or information, whether accidental or intentional, and whether by myself and/or by any other
person, of which I become aware. I agree to return all confidential data, information and materials to my
immediate supervisor upon completion of the above-referenced Contract, or termination of my employment with
my employer, whichever occurs first.

ASSIGNMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
As used in this agreement, “Works” means (i) any inventions, trade secrets, ideas, original works of authorship or
Confidential Information (as defined below) that I conceive, develop, discover or make in whole or in part during
my employment with Contractor which relates to the Contract, (ii) any inventions, trade secrets, ideas, original
works of authorship or Confidential Information (as defined below) that I conceive, develop, discover or make in
whole or in part during or after my employment with Contractor which are made through the use of any of
Contractor’s equipment, facilities, supplies, trade secrets or time, or which result from any work I perform for
Contractor, and (iii) any part or aspect of any of the foregoing. “Confidential Information” means all information
or material disclosed to or known by me as a consequence of my employment with Contractor, including third
party information or information disclosed by County that Contractor treats as confidential, and any information
disclosed to or developed by me or embodied in or relating to the Works.
All Works shall belong exclusively to Contractor whether or not fixed in a tangible medium of expression.
Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, all Works shall be
deemed to be “works made for hire” under the United States Copyright Act, and Contractor shall be deemed to be
the author thereof.
If and to the extent any Works are determined not to constitute “works made for hire,” or if any rights in the
Works do not accrue to Contractor as a work made for hire, I irrevocably assign and transfer to Contractor to the
maximum extent permitted by law all right, title and interest in the Works, including but not limited to all
copyrights, patents, trade secret rights, and other proprietary rights in or relating to the Works. Without limiting
the foregoing, I irrevocably assign and transfer to Contractor all economic rights to the Works, including without
limitation the exclusive and unrestricted right to reproduce, manufacture, use, adapt, modify, publish, distribute,
sublicense, publicly perform and communicate, translate, lease, import, export, transfer, convey and otherwise
exploit the Works.

JULY 2009

I expressly approve any and all modifications, uses, publications and other exploitation of the Works that
Contractor or any successor or transferee of Contractor may elect to make, and I expressly agree that no such
modifications, uses, publications or exploitations will or may cause harm to my honor or reputation, or will be
deemed to constitute a distortion or mutilation of the Works.
I agree to provide any assistance reasonably requested by Contractor, now and in the future, to obtain United States
or foreign letters patent and copyright registrations covering inventions and original works of authorship belonging
or assigned to Contractor. I shall execute any transfers of ownership of letters patent or assignments of copyrights
or other proprietary rights transferred or assigned hereunder (including short form assignments intended for
recording with the U.S. Copyright Office, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any other entity). If Contractor
is unable for any reason whatsoever, including my mental or physical incapacity, to secure my signature to apply
for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign letters patent or copyright registrations or on any
document transferring or assigning any patent, copyright or other proprietary right that I am obligated to transfer or
assign, I irrevocably designate and appoint Contractor and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and
attorney in fact, to act for and on its behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and documents and
to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright
registrations or transfers or assignments thereof or of any other proprietary rights with the same legal force and
effect as if executed by me. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code
(the text of which follows) relating to inventions made by an employee. Accordingly, this agreement is not
intended and shall not be interpreted to assign to or vest in Contractor any of my rights in any inventions
developed entirely on my own time without using Contractor’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret
information, except for those inventions that either relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
invention to Contractor’s business or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of
Contractor, or result from any work I performed for Contractor.
California Labor Code Section 2870. Employment Agreements; Assignment of Rights
(a)

(b)

Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to
assign any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that
the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:
(1)

Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s
business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2)

Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an
invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is
against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

I expressly acknowledge and agree that I wish to remain anonymous and not to have my name or any pseudonyms
used in connection with any Works, goods or services I provide under this agreement or the above referenced
Contract.
I acknowledge that violation of this agreement may cause irreparable harm to County, which may not be
compensated by monetary damages, and may subject me to civil and/or criminal action and that the County of Los
Angeles may seek all possible legal and equitable redress, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.

CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE JURY SERVICE
TITLE 2 ADMINISTRATION
CHAPTER 2.203.010 THROUGH 2.203.090
Page 1 of 3

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. (Ord. 2002-0015 § 1 (part), 2002)

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.

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

“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

A contract where federal or state law or a condition of a federal or state program mandates the use of a
particular contractor; or

A purchase made through a state or federal contract; or

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

A revolving fund (petty cash) purchase pursuant to the Los Angeles County Fiscal Manual, Section 4.4.0 or a
successor provision; or

A purchase card purchase pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual,
Section P-2810 or a successor provision; or

A non-agreement purchase with a value of less than $5,000 pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing
Policy and Procedures Manual, Section A-0300 or a successor provision; or

EXHIBIT J
CONFIDENTIALITY OF CORI INFORMATION
Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) is that information which is recorded as the result
of an arrest, detention or other initiation of criminal proceedings including any consequent
proceedings related thereto. As an employee of _______________________________________
during the legitimate course of your duties, you may have access to CORI. The Information
Systems Advisory Body (ISAB) has a policy of protecting the confidentiality of Criminal
Offender Record Information.
You are required to protect the information contained in case files against disclosure to all
individuals who do not have a right-to-know or a need-to-know this information.
The use of any information obtained from case files or other related sources of CORI to make
contacts with probationers or their relatives, or to make CORI available to anyone who has no
real and proper reason to have access to this information as determined solely by the Probation
Department is considered a breach of confidentiality, inappropriate and unauthorized.
Any _______________________________________ employee engaging in such activities is in
violation of the ISAB's confidentiality policy and will be subject to appropriate disciplinary
action and/or criminal action pursuant to Section 11142 of the Penal Code.
I have read and understand ISAB's policy concerning the confidentiality of CORI records.
