AGREEMENT Item No. 5.14
STATE OF TEXAS 8
TRAUMA SERVICE AREA B/CITY OF LUBBOCK
COUNTY OF LUBBOCK S
This Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between the Regional Advisory
Council ("RAC") for Texas Trauma Service Area B ("Agency"), and the City of Lubbock
("City"). The RAC is a Texas non-profit corporation established by the State of Texas for
Trauma Service Area B, a region composed of 22 South Plains counties established by
House Bill 18, and charged with implementing a comprehensive regional trauma care
system based on standard guidelines. The City of Lubbock is a home rule corporation of the
state of Texas. This Agreement pertains to a web -based emergency management
communications system.
I. Purpose
Texas Trauma Service Area B (TSA-B) is one of 22 regions in Texas and serves a
22-county area with 21 participating hospitals and 56 emergency medical services. Each
TSA has a regional advisory council (RAC) responsible for developing and implementing a
regional trauma system plan. The RAC coordinates resources which include communication
systems, public information, prehospital care providers and multidisciplinary trauma teams
in emergency departments. TSA-B is a recipient of a grant from the National Bioterrorism
Hospital Preparedness Program through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
which funds the development of a unified comprehensive system of response that meets the
needs of a state, city or local community, provides the most good for the greatest number of
people while using limited resources and integrates easily into the Federal Response Plan.
WebEOC is a web -based emergency management communications system that
provides cost-effective, real-time information sharing. By linking local and state, WebEOC
helps to facilitate decision -making in emergency situations. Web EOC hosts status boards
and resource lists that can be viewed on individual PC's or displayed onto large screens. It
will display text -based lists, reports and checkpoints in conjunction with graphics, maps,
video, live TV camera, contact lists and other information needed in an emergency situation.
The City of Lubbock and TSA-B are committed to the health and safety of our
citizens. Through joint utilization of WebEOC, hosted on the City server, a regional trauma
system with communication links with regional hospitals will enhance sharing of critical
information, response times, resource utilization and decreases in the number of trauma
incidents, injury severity, the number of preventable deaths, severity of trauma -related
disability.
II. Obligations of the Agency
1) The Agency will purchase software and hardware necessary for installation
of WebEOC.
2) The Agency will, as long as grant funds permit, pay annual license fee for
software.
3) The Agency will be responsible for setting controls and access for TSA-B
members.
III. Obligations of the City
1) The City is responsible for the installation, care and maintenance of
equipment covered by the Agreement, as prescribed by the manufacturer.
2) The City is responsible for setting controls and access for City employees.
3) The City is responsible for developing and maintaining boards and resources
lists to be used in the EOC.
IV. Term
This agreement becomes effective after approval by the governing bodies of the
Agency and the City as indicated below. It may be canceled by either party by giving thirty
days (30) written notice to the other party, otherwise it remains in effect for five years and
may be renewed thereafter by mutual agreement expressed in writing. In the event that the
agreement is canceled, the hardware and software purchased by the Agency will be
relocated to allow the Agency to continue using it.
