Pettijohn Commissioner Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner Filed: March 23, 1995 Texas Department of Health Announcement of Available Funds for HIV Early Intervention Projects The Texas Department of Health (TDH) requests proposals from governmental, public, and private non-profit entities located within the State of Texas to develop or to continue projects to provide health care and psychosocial services to Texans who have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). For the purposes of this project, the definition of early HIV infection is HIV infection before a diagnosis of AIDS, as currently defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Early intervention (EI) is a strategy of service delivery to persons with early HIV infection which emphasizes outpatient care, health maintenance, prevention of transmission of the virus, and the integration of the client into a system that provides support services. Early medical intervention, when combined with case management and psychosocial support, appears to be effective not only in slowing disease progression but also in assuring compliance with medical regimens, promoting healthy behavior and coping skills, and improving quality of life. Psychosocial interventions may include long-term counseling, peer support services, psychosocial and neuropsychiatric assessment, and aggressive preventive educational programs. Education of the client is a valuable strategy in gaining compliance with health maintenance measures as well as in maintaining preventive behaviors. The objectives of EI funding are to: provide services where no current services exist, but a need is exhibited; reach out to identify individuals with early HIV infection and their partners; provide access to early intervention to persons with early HIV infection; provide services as listed in this guidance including case management and care coordination; delay disease progression through timely initiation of proven preventive therapies; prevent or reduce behaviors that result in spread of the virus; and increase life expectancy and quality. Proposals to provide technical assistance or training to support EI services, EI case management, and EI outreach will also be considered. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS Eligible applicants are governmental, public, or private non-profit entities located within the State of Texas. Eligible entities may include, but are not limited to: city and/or county health departments or districts, community-based organizations, public or private hospitals, public or private university medical facilities, and other non-profit public or private health care groups. Individuals are not eligible to apply. AVAILABLE FUNDS The TDH will allocate $622,000 for the purposes of these grants for the period September 1, 1995 through August 31, 1996, including start-up costs. No contracts will be awarded in excess of $200,000. Based on evaluation of performance during the first year of funding, contracts may be renegotiated for the 12-month period September 1, 1996 through August 31, 1997. The funding of these projects is contingent upon legislative appropriations. TO OBTAIN THE RFP Requests for Proposals (RFPs) will be mailed directly to all existing TDH HIV contractors. Others may obtain copies of the RFP by calling Judith Riney at (512) 490-2525. Proposals must be received at the HIV/STD Health Resources Division offices by 5:00 p.m., May 23, 1995.

TRD-9503706 Deborah B. Schilling Staff Services Officer II Texas Sustainable Energy Development Council Filed: March 27, 1995 Request for Proposals This request for proposals is filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Civil Statutes, Chapter 2305.067, Government Code. Notice of Invitation . Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBS) are encouraged to submit proposals, and all businesses that propose are encouraged to give particular attention in preparing their proposals to include HUBS as subcontractors and material providers at the first tier. The State of Texas operates under the basic principles of free and vigorous competition. In accordance with House Bill 2626, 73rd Legislature, all state agencies are to give a good faith effort to award at least 30% of the total value of all contracts to certified HUBS. Achievement of the goal may be reached by the State contracting directly with HUB firms or by the State's general contractors establishing contracts with HUB firms as subcontractors, suppliers or material providers. The Sustainable Energy Development Council (SEDC, also referred to as "the Council"), on behalf of the Alternative Energy Program (AEP), invites proposals from qualified firms, non-profit organizations, state and local government agencies, institutions of higher education, or individuals for the following four educational outreach projects: (1) develop a written and visual documentary of up to 20 renewable energy demonstration projects in Texas, including photographs and a 12-15 minute broadcast-quality video documentary on reinstallations in Texas; (2) create ten new fact sheets and revise ten existing fact sheets on energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies, and sustainable energy development issues, including a designated number of new and existing fact sheets in the Spanish language; and (3) design and produce one three- dimensional, interactive renewable energy display. Interested parties may submit proposals for one or more or all parts of this Request for Proposals. Background. The AEP is funded with oil overcharge funds appropriated by the 73rd Legislature for the purpose of accelerating the use of renewable energy technologies in Texas. The AEP is administered by the Council, which was created by Executive Order to craft a strategic plan for developing the State's renewable energy and energy efficiency resources. Oil overcharge funds are monetary settlements returned to the states as a result of litigation by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) against certain oil companies for alleged violations of price controls in effect between 1973 and 1981. The courts returned these funds to the states for use in certain energy programs deemed to provide restitution to citizens aggrieved by the overcharges. Funds are subject to program guidelines of DOE and the terms of the final Stripper Well Settlement Agreement. Approved projects will be funded on a cost reimbursement basis. All expenses must be properly documented and permissible under the contract and under federal guidelines. No advance payments are allowable, and no administrative overhead or indirect costs may be paid with oil overcharge monies. Budget. The maximum budget for funding educational outreach projects under this Request for Proposals is $232,000. Services to be Performed . The purpose of this project is to demonstrate through print and visual media how renewable energy technologies are currently used in Texas by individuals, businesses and utilities. This project will be accomplished through the following: I. Documentary of Renewable Energy Projects in Texas (Not to exceed $132, 000). This project will consist of a publication containing written and photographic information about successful renewable energy projects in Texas, along with a 12-15 minute broadcast-quality video. The successful proposer will be expected to produce the following: 1. Create and design the format for the publication, "Renewable Energy in Texas," a 9-1/2 inch by 11-3/4 inch two-color pocket folder printed on recycled paper and using soy-based inks, containing both the renewable energy project information as well as the renewable energy fact sheets (see Section II of this Request for Proposals, Sustainable Energy Fact Sheets). Each renewable energy project will feature a black-and-white photograph, a schematic or line drawing of the project, performance information and a detailed narrative describing the project. This information will be printed on the front and back of a page, in two colors using soy-based inks and on recycled paper. The documented projects will be selected from the following renewable energy projects installed in Texas and their locations are: a. The Central and Southwest Energy Installation at Fort Davis (Jeff Davis County); b. The Wind Powered Project at Laredo Community College, Laredo (Webb County); c. The Solar Electric Navigational Aids Project, Cedar Creek Lake (Henderson County); d. The PV Farm Applications Project, Bryan (Brazos County); e.

Print 1,000 copies of the pocket folder and renewable energy project fact sheets. 3. Provide two sets of 35 mm color slides and two sets of 8 inch by 10 inch color file prints of all the projects listed above. 4. Provide ten 30 inch by 40 inch exhibition-quality color photographs of selected renewable energy projects listed in this proposal. 5. Produce a 12-15 minute broadcast quality, multiple-format video of selected renewable energy projects in Texas. The video should correspond with the photographs and the narrative written for the pocket folder publication to some degree, but should include interviews and may depart from standard industrial videos to bring a stylistic and creative tone to this component of the project. The final video master will be on one-inch standard broadcast videotape, and will require a one-inch format dubbing master. The proposer will be responsible for scriptwriting, preproduction, shooting original footage and inserts, off- line editing, final approval and on-line editing of the video. SEDC concept and visual approval will be required after scriptwriting, and a representative from the SEDC will be present during the on-line editing process. The proposer will provide 50 to 100 copies of the final video in VHS format, as well as six to ten copies in CD-ROM format. II. Sustainable Energy Fact Sheets (Not to exceed $50,000).
