Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Medicaid Payment Rates

Hearing. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission will conduct a public hearing on September 1, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. to receive public comment on proposed rates for the Home and Community-based Services (HCS), Texas Home Living (TxHmL) and Consolidated Waiver (CWP) waiver programs. The HCS, TxHmL and CWP programs are operated by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS). The hearing will be held in compliance with Human Resources Code §32.0282 and Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Title 1, §355.105(g), which require public notice and hearings on proposed Medicaid reimbursements. The public hearing will be held in the Lone Star Conference Room of the Health and Human Services Commission, Braker Center, Building H, located at 11209 Metric Blvd, Austin, Texas. Entry is through Security at the main entrance of the building, which faces Metric Boulevard. Persons requiring Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accommodation or auxiliary aids or services should contact Meisha Scott by calling (512) 491-1445, at least 72 hours prior to the hearing so appropriate arrangements can be made.

Proposal. HHSC proposes to adjust the rates for the HCS, TxHmL and CWP programs in two phases. The first phase of proposed rates will be effective October 1, 2009, and the second phase of proposed rates will be effective upon the transfer of the HCS case management function to the Targeted Case Management (TCM) program delivered by the local Mental Retardation Agencies (MRAs). All proposed rates were determined in accordance with the rate setting methodologies listed below under "Methodology and Justification."

Methodology and Justification. The proposed rates were determined in accordance with the rate setting methodologies codified at Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Title 1, Chapter 355, Subchapter F, §355.723, Reimbursement Methodology for Home and Community-Based Services (HCS), as proposed to be amended, §355.791, Reporting Costs and Reimbursement Methodology for the Texas Home Living (TxHmL) Program, as proposed to be amended and §355.506 Reimbursement Methodology for Consolidated Waiver Program. The proposed amendment of §355.723, which appeared in the July 24, 2009, issue of the Texas Register, (34 TexReg 4801) updates the rule to describe how administrative and operations expenses are allocated to the various HCS service types. The proposed amendment of §355.791, which appeared in the July 3, 2009, issue of the Texas Register, (34 TexReg 4410) updates the rule to set TxHmL rates equal to HCS rates for similar services. These rates were subsequently adjusted in accordance with 1 TAC Chapter 355, Subchapter A, §355.101 (relating to Introduction) and §355.109 (relating to Adjusting Reimbursement When New Legislation, Regulations or Economic Factors Affect Costs). These changes are being made in accordance with the 2010-11 General Appropriations Act (Article II, S.B. 1, 81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009), which appropriated funds to DADS for the State Fiscal Year 2010-2011 biennium for Medicaid rate increases for the HCS, TxHmL and CWP programs.

Briefing Package. A briefing package describing the proposed payment rates will be available on August 17, 2009. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the briefing package prior to the hearing by contacting Meisha Scott by telephone at (512) 491-1445; by fax at (512) 491-1998; or by e-mail at meisha.scott@hhsc.state.tx.us. The briefing package also will be available at the public hearing.

Written Comments. Written comments regarding the proposed payment rates may be submitted in lieu of, or in addition to, oral testimony until 5:00 p.m. the day of the hearing. Written comments may be sent by U.S. mail to the attention of Meisha Scott, Health and Human Services Commission, Rate Analysis, Mail Code H-400, P.O. Box 85200, Austin, Texas 78708-5200; by fax to Meisha Scott at (512) 491-1998; or by e-mail to meisha.scott@hhsc.state.tx.us. In addition, written comments may be sent by overnight mail or hand delivered to Meisha Scott, HHSC, Rate Analysis, Mail Code H-400, Braker Center, Building H, 11209 Metric Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78758-4021.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission announces its intent to submit an amendment to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The proposed effective date for this amendment is September 1, 2009.

The proposed amendment will adjust payment rates for the Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Mental Retardation (ICF/MR) Program as a result of the 2010-11 General Appropriations Act (Article II, Health and Human Services, 81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009), which appropriated general revenue funds for provider rate increases for the ICF/MR Program. The reimbursement methodology will be modified to indicate that for the period beginning September 1, 2009 and ending August 31, 2011, ICF/MR payment rates will, on average, be equal to the payment rates in effect August 31, 2009 plus 1.54 percent.

The proposed adjustment of payment rates is estimated to result in additional annual aggregate expenditures of $478,886 for the remainder of federal fiscal year (FFY) 2009 (September 1, 2009, through September 30, 2009), with approximately $329,282 in federal funds and approximately $149,604 in state general revenue. For FFY 2010, the proposed adjustment of payment rates is estimated to result in additional annual aggregate expenditures of $5,746,630 with approximately $4,014,021 in federal funds and approximately $1,732,609 in state general revenue.

To obtain copies of the proposed amendment or to submit written comments, interested parties may contact Pam McDonald by mail at Rate Analysis Department, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 85200, Mail Code H-400, Austin, Texas 78708-5200; by telephone at (512) 491-1373; by facsimile at (512) 491-1998; or by e-mail at pam.mcdonald@hhsc.state.tx.us.

Pre-Solicitation Notice

Professional Engineering Design Services for Project #101887

Dry Berth of Battleship Texas State Historic Site

This notice is for information purposes only. This is not a request for submission of proposals or qualifications. Responses or other inquiries are not appropriate at this time.

The Infrastructure Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) intends to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Professional Engineering Design Services as part of Project #101887, Dry Berth of Battleship Texas State Historic Site, La Porte, Harris County, Texas on September 1, 2009.

Detailed information about the requirements and selection process will be provided in the RFQ. The purpose of this notice is to inform qualified entities interested in providing these services that the release of the RFQ is imminent.

Upon issuance of the RFQ on September 1, 2009, all solicitation information will be available electronically on TPWD's website at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/business/bidops/current_bid_opportunities/construction/ and on the Electronic State Business Daily website at http://esbd.cpa.state.tx.us.

Hard copy documents relating to the September 1 solicitation for Professional Engineering Design Services will also available at no charge by calling (512) 389-4442 or by e-mailing a request to contracting@tpwd.state.tx.us.

Background

The Battleship Texas, a National Historic Landmark, has been berthed continuously along the Houston Ship Channel at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site since 1948, at which time she was transferred to the State of Texas following decommissioning by the U.S. Navy. TPWD assumed stewardship of the ship on September 1, 1983.

Since then, the TPWD strategy for major maintenance of the ship has been the traditional solution of towing her to a dry dock and implementing all appropriate repairs then returning her to her berth. Over time, the dry docking option has been restricted by the limited dry dock facilities within the Galveston Bay Inland waterway as well as concern that the ship could no longer sustain an extensive tow to an off site dry dock facility for repairs. Discussions began regarding the feasibility of removing the ship from the water and positioning the ship on a semi-permanent dry berth in the existing slip at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. This would remove the risk of the ship flooding, give the opportunity to conduct repair operations in the dry berth, and provide significant interpretive opportunity to display the ship in a unique and dramatic manner.

TPWD's desire is to create a dry berth solution that meets the following three criteria:

1. The solution must be, within reason, reversible.

2. The solution must visually respect the historic San Jacinto Battleground site.

3. The solution must provide a less expensive long-term solution to the alternative of conducting major dry docking every 10-15 years.

An independent marine engineering firm developed four viable dry berth concepts. The goal of the solicitation is to award a Professional Design Services contract for the engineering design firm to evaluate TPWD's four concepts or any of their own; present the recommended solution to the general public and oversight agencies; then proceed with full design and construction administration after public comment is accepted and addressed and oversight agency approvals are received.

Award will be made to the most qualified firm to provide engineering design services for the subject project in accordance with Government Code, Chapter 2254.

Request for Applications for the Geomorphic Study of the Guadalupe River, Texas, from Kerr County to San Antonio Bay

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) requests the submission of Request for Qualifications (RFQs) for state Fiscal Year 2009 to conduct a research study of the geomorphology of the Guadalupe River, Texas, from Kerr County to San Antonio Bay. The TWDB has a total of $35,000.00 available from the Research and Planning Fund for this study. Rules governing the Research and Planning Fund (31 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 355), guidelines/instruction sheet are available on the TWDB website or by request.

Description of the Objectives and Purpose. The study will delineate major geomorphic process zones, with an emphasis on stream energetics as indicated by stream power and shear stress; identify major geomorphic controls (including karst hydrogeology, sea level and climate change, and antecedent topography); and determine the location and primary controls over key "hinge points" or transition zones.

The specific objectives are to:

(1) Develop a baseline characterization of the condition and behavior of the Guadalupe River.

(2) Examine longitudinal (downstream) changes in flow processes and energetics, channel and valley morphology, and patterns of recent geomorphic change.

(3) Classify the Guadalupe (based on items 1, 2) into geomorphic process zones.

(4) Identify the primary controls, both contemporary and historic, of the geomorphic process zones.

(5) Identify the current location, primary controls over, and potential future changes in critical transition zones.

Deliverables will include a report covering the objectives above, and maps (hardcopy and digital) of the process and key transition zones.

Description of Applicant Criteria. The applicable scope of work, schedule, and contract amount will be negotiated after the TWDB selects the most qualified applicants. Failure to arrive at mutually agreeable terms of a contract with the most qualified applicant shall constitute a rejection of the TWDB's offer and may result in subsequent negotiations with the next most qualified applicant. The TWDB reserves the right to reject any or all applications if staff determines that the application(s) does not adequately meet the required criteria or if the funding available is less than the requested funding.

Deadline for Submittal, Review Criteria and Contact Person for Additional Information. Five double-sided, double-spaced copies of a completed application must be filed with the TWDB no later than 12:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, September 4, 2009.
