71 Indemnification
The ESC Region 8 and TIPS is a Texas Political Subdivision and a local governmental entity; therefore, is prohibited
from
indemnifying third parties pursuant to the Texas Constitution (Article 3, Section 52) except as specifically provided
by law or as
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. A provision in a contract to indemnify or hold a party harmless is a
promise to pay for
any expenses the indemnified party incurs, if a specified event occurs, such as breaching the terms of the contract
or negligently
performing duties under the contract. Article III, Section 49 of the Texas Constitution states that "no debt shall be
created by or on
behalf of the State ... " The Attorney General has counseled that a contractually imposed obligation of indemnity
creates a "debt" in
the constitutional sense. Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. No. MW-475 (1982). Contract clauses which require the System or
institutions to
indemnify must be deleted or qualified with ''to the extent permitted by the Constitution and Laws of the State of
Texas." Liquidated
damages, attorney's fees, waiver of vendor's liability, and waiver of statutes of limitations clauses should also be
deleted or qualified
with "to the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of State of Texas."
Not a negotiable term. Failure to agree will render your proposal non-responsive and it will not be considered. Do

81 Texas Education Code Chapter 22 Contractor Certification for Contractor Employees
Introduction: Texas Education Code Chapter 22 requires entities that contract with school districts to provide
services to obtain criminal history record information regarding covered employees. Contractors must certify to the
district that they have complied. Covered employees with disqualifying criminal histories are prohibited from serving
at a school district.
Definitions: Covered employees: Employees of a contractor or subcontractor who have or will have continuing
duties related to the service to be performed at the District and have or will have direct contact with students. The
District will be the final arbiter of what constitutes direct contact with students. Disqualifying criminal history: Any
conviction or other criminal history information designated by the District, or one of the following offenses, if at the
time of the offense, the victim was under 18 or enrolled in a public school:
(a) a felony offense under Title 5, Texas Penal Code; (b) an offense for which a defendant is required to register as
a sex offender under Chapter 62, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure; or (c) an equivalent offense under federal law
or the laws of another state.
I certify that:
NONE (Section A) of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractors are covered employees, as defined
above. If this box is checked, I further certify that Contractor has taken precautions or imposed conditions to ensure
that the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor will not become covered employees. Contractor will
maintain these precautions or conditions throughout the time the contracted services are provided.
OR
SOME (Section B) or all of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor are covered employees. If this box
is checked, I further certify that:
(1) Contractor has obtained all required criminal history record information regarding its covered employees. None
of the covered employees has a disqualifying criminal history.
(2) If Contractor receives information that a covered employee subsequently has a reported criminal history,
Contractor will immediately remove the covered employee from contract duties and notify the District in writing within
3 business days.
(3) Upon request, Contractor will provide the District with the name and any other requested information of covered
employees so that the District may obtain criminal history record information on the covered employees.
(4) If the District objects to the assignment of a covered employee on the basis of the covered employee's criminal
history record information, Contractor agrees to discontinue using that covered employee to provide services at the
District.
Noncompliance or misrepresentation regarding this certification may be grounds for contract termination.
None

Library Interiors of Texas (LI-TX) offer a cooperative approach to all aspects of
furnishing a library, from needs assessment, through design, procurement of
exclusive products, project management, book and furniture moves, to installation
and after sales care. Architects, designers and library professionals can be
assured that they will be presented with the finest furnishing choices, delivered on
time, within budget, and with continuing service.
COMPANY PROFILE WHY LI-TX?
Trevor Taylor, the driving force behind the development of
the company, was born in London, England. Trevor's career
began in 1977 and by establishing strong working
relationships with architects, designers, and librarians
internationally, became a highly respected specialist in the
library community. He has worked on projects across the
globe from England, to Eldoret, Kenya to libraries damaged
in Kuwait City after the Gulf War.
After relocating to the USA in 2003, to further his library
experience, Trevor decided to move to Austin, Texas in
2007 to establish Library Interiors of Texas, with the aim to
offer a fresh approach, and international flair to libraries
throughout Texas and the neighboring states.
Over the past 14 years LI-TX has continued this legacy by
building a highly skilled team of professionals capable of
delivering world class library interiors.
LI-TX has been awarded pre-bid State/National contracts
with BuyBoard and Choice Partners, allowing customers the
opportunity to purchase with confidence, knowing they are
getting ‘best value’, while avoiding the high cost and
uncertainty of the bidding process.
LI-TX is proud to have been accredited as a Woman Owned
Business Enterprise by the City of Austin and NCTRCA, and
to have achieved certified HUB status with the State of
Texas.
Years of experience have proven that libraries require a
level of furnishing of a very exacting standard, due not only
to high levels of use by patrons, but erratic funding for
maintenance and remodeling. LI-TX therefore consider it a
duty to ensure that they design interiors built with high
performing furniture and materials, offering exceptional
durability and low maintenance costs.
With a constant eye on developing trends in librarianship;
technology; furniture design; fabrics and finishes, LI-TX
strive to provide interiors that will exceed the expectations
of today but will adapt easily to meet the needs of the ever-
changing and developing library of tomorrow.

Moira Taylor is the owner and CEO of Library Interiors of Texas, a library furnishing company based in Austin, TX. In
1986, together with her husband, she co-founded 'LFC' - a library furnishing company in the U.K., which currently holds
the position of a European market leader. The business was sold in 2000 to DEMCO, Inc. of Madison Wisconsin.
Co-founded Library Furnishing Consultants (LFC) as Director of Marketing, and built the company to become an £18m
($33m) turnover company through sustained organic growth, acquisition and mergers.
From its inception in 1986, LFC quickly established an excellent reputation and gained market share from their largest
competitors, equaling their sales turnover within 5 years of start-up.
The brand is still considered a market leader in Europe: for over 30 years LFC has been awarded a significant number of the
largest UK contracts for new or refurbished libraries.
After a family relocation to the United States, in 2007 a business opportunity arose to establish a library furnishing company
in Austin, TX
Moira has been employed in the same business for over 33 years. LFC was established in 1986; DEMCO Inc. of Madison,
Wisconsin acquired 75% of the company in January 1993 and subsequently purchased the remaining 25% in June 2000.
After a career-break from 2003 - 2007, Moira decided to continue her career in the library business, and founded another
company in July of 2007, 'Library Interiors of Texas' in Austin, TX. and remains the100% owner of this company.
Married 42 years - 1 daughter (37yrs) & 1 son (35 yrs)

Product and Service Quality Control Procedures
Quality control of product begins at our vendor partners’ factories. Well-built and properly packaged
furniture arrives on-site without transit damage. Prevention goes a long way in eliminating service or
warranty calls, most of which are reported within the first 30 days of usage. Our vendors and LI-TX go to
great lengths to ensure that products are neither damaged while in transit, nor damaged during unloading.
Should minor defects show up during the installation, all such defects will be repaired or replaced promptly.
Our installers are trained and equipped to refinish and repair minor scratches during the installation
process. If parts are needed to enact the service/warranty work, most of our suppliers either have
extensive spare parts departments, or have the capacity to quickly re-make a one-of-a-kind part. Our
mission is twofold: eliminate the need for service calls, but when required, to respond quickly.
All senior managers of Library Interiors of Texas serve as first responders for all Service needs. Each
carries a smart phone that connects them via phone or email with customers, our own data bank of orders,
and invoices, as well as the Service Department[s] of all the various manufacturers, which will be
represented on the Contract. All senior managers are available during normal business hours (8:00am-
5:00pm CST).
All ‘after-hour’ customer service needs are handled exactly the same as during the normal business day,
[8:00am-5:00pm CST]. The LI-TX staff member who receives that call initiates a company-wide conference
call to determine what assets are needed and what plan of action is most agreeable to the customer. That
plan is then approved, or rejected by the customer. If approved, we proceed immediately. If rejected, we
submit an alternate plan until an acceptable resolution is reached.
Should any customer be dissatisfied with any of our supplied products or services, they should contact us
immediately. We will discuss with them the problem[s] and then plan for remediation that is acceptable to
all involved. If necessary, we will send service staffs to the site to further assess the nature of the problem,
the probable cause, and the best method of correction. In many cases, a few digital photographs taken on-
site and sent to us via email will supply all of the information needed for a quick resolution.
Onsite Safety Control Procedures
Library Interiors of Texas make the safety of our employees, and fellow workers a top priority. Our approach
to safety is based upon industry guidelines, installation procedures from our various manufacturers, and
the collective experience of our senior leadership. With almost 50 years of combined experience in the
design, layout and installation of library furniture on a worldwide basis, we train our employees based upon
our own personal experience.
We follow the safety guidelines provided by all tool suppliers including, where applicable, safety glasses,
proper electrical cordage and grounding, blade guards and ventilation. Employees that operate vehicles
have had training specific to that vehicle. Crew leaders have received basic First Aid training and new first
aid kits are provided at the onset of each project. No chemicals are used during our installation or cleanup
other than those approved for household usage. Where required by specific jobsite rules, all workers will
wear protective headgear, ear, and eye protection. Individual employees will not have permanent ID badges
unless provided by others; all will have clearly visible nametags. Furniture installation will not be started
until facility is properly lighted, dust-controlled and air conditioned for protection of product and our staff.

Brownsville ISD Literacy Innovations for Book Reading Opportunities (LIBRO)
(Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) Grant)
Project Scope and Implementation
On October 4, 2018 Library Interiors of Texas (LI-TX) received a
letter from Dr. Esperanza Zendejas, Superintendent of Schools for
Brownsville ISD (BISD), welcoming LI-TX as part of the team
charged with the task of remodeling all 57 BISD school libraries
over the following 3 years, as part of the LIBRO project.
LIBRO was BISD’s initiative, implemented to meet the Innovation
Approaches to Literacy (IAL) Grant program, designed to develop
and improve literacy skills for children and students from birth
through 12th grade, at three high-need local educational agencies
(LEAs). BISD is the highest ranked school district in Texas and fifth
ranked in the Nation, with the highest economically disadvantaged
student percentage ages 5-17 years of age (39.78%) comparing
districts above 46,000-student enrollment (Small Area Income
and Poverty Estimates-SAIPE).
Work on the three-year project began in early 2019 with a tour of
the Year 1 campuses; 11 Elementary Schools, 2 Middle schools
and 3 High Schools. With the knowledge that all 16 schools were
to be completed by September of the same year, it was imperative
for all parties to understand that time was of the essence. With
value for money and time constraints in mind BISD placed an order
with LI-TX as the FF&E contractor for the LIBRO project utilizing
their Choice Partners Cooperative contract.
In close collaboration with Mr. Edwin Barrera, of the BISD Grant
Department and Dr Cantu of the BISD Maintenance Department,
the LI-TX team of library specialists met with all 16 school librarians
to complete a needs assessment for each school library. Draft
floor plans were prepared as a working document for discussion
with the LIBRO team at each school, and fine-tuned, until a final
layout was agreed and approved.
With the floor plan for each school established, a scope of work
was then developed, which included; minor renovations, flooring,
painting, furniture/shelving selection and color schemes.
Programming the remodeling of each campus was the next key
step, as all major work needed to be completed during the summer
recess (approx. 10 weeks).
All books and furniture/shelving that was to be reused, needed to
be picked up and stored in classrooms to allow for reflooring and
painting. However, none of this could be done until school was out in
the last week of May.
A rolling program of remodeling began as soon as schools finished
for the summer break. Working with four teams LI-TX coordinated
the renovation work, starting with the removal of existing flooring,
minor construction projects, then reflooring and painting.
When the newly renovated libraries were ready for occupation,
shelving and furniture was delivered and installed, and books were
returned to the libraries and reshelved.
With the Year 1 renovation process completed, a series of ribbon
cuttings were planned, and the sixteen school libraries were officially
opened to the students, most of whom had not seen the spaces
during renovation so were seeing the library transition for the first
time.
With Year 1 of the LIBRO Grant substantially compete the team
turned its attention to the Year 2 group of schools; 12 Elementary
Schools, 4 Middle Schools, and 2 High Schools.
The team followed the same procedures as in Year 1, until progress
stalled in March 2020 as the country ground to a halt due to the
COVID pandemic.
With the restriction of face-to-face meetings, video conferencing
became the only way to complete the planning process, without
causing considerable delays which could have jeopardized the whole
project.
The use of video conferencing worked very well and once the team
regained momentum, year 2 followed the same protocol as Year 1,
and despite a slight overrun due the onset of COVID, 17 of the 18
schools were completed within a slightly extended timeframe.
The final year of the LIBRO project involved; 11 Elementary Schools, 3
Middle Schools and 2 High Schools. Planning meetings continued to
be mainly via video, which was not ideal, but allowed the development
of the scope of work for each school to progress without too much
delay to the overall project. With the scope for each school
completed, materials were ordered for the renovations and interiors
fit out.
Further issues caused by the COVID pandemic persisted and
increased. Supply chain delays and unexpected price increases
started to become the norm which added an additional level of
complexity to what was already a tightly financed and time sensitive
project.

Page 65 of 106
Despite all odds, the project reached substantial completion in
December, 2021 with the exception of 3 schools; 2 that are to be
closed and one High School, which is being remodeled outside the
LIBRO Grant.
Collaborating with Mr. Barrera and the BISD group of education
professionals provided LI-TX with the perfect opportunity to deliver
interiors that meet and exceed the principles of LI-TX’s design
ideals. The group’s willingness to embrace the concept of building
spaces that, in the words of Mr. Barrera, ‘provide a wow factor’
enabled LI-TX to push the envelope, resulting in landmark libraries
that other school districts will almost certainly want to emulate.
Throughout the project the assistance of the BISD Maintenance
Department’s management team and their crews; installing
replacement floors, providing electrical/data connections,
upgrading lighting and A/C, made it possible to complete work that
would otherwise have been beyond the financial constraints of the
Federal Grant.
The LIBRO Grant allowed the team at LI-TX the opportunity to
embrace their philosophy to build library interiors that are modular,
adjustable, flexible, and durable – ‘Living Libraries’ – spaces that can
morph and adapt to the ever-changing demands of a modern learning
environment. The LI-TX objective is to always craft school library
interiors that are fresh, interesting and exciting enough to motivate
student to visit because they want to, not because they have to.
LI-TX’s aim is not to just create another classroom, but to design
themed educational surroundings to thrill and stimulate. From pre-K
through12th grade encouraging every child to consider the library as
the center of learning, contemplation, collaboration, creativity and
social interaction, so that when they advance to higher education and
ultimately into adulthood, the foundation is set for lifelong learning,
with libraries as the constant

The team at L�brary Interiors ❑f Texas was perfect for the �ob. They work

To Whom It May Concern:
My relationship with Library Interiors of Texas and Trevor and Michael Taylor began around
2009 with the Brownsville Public Library System (BPLS) as a Branch Manager. Library
Interiors was responsible for a large part of the renovations of the library, from custom end
panels to a whole new computer resource center. When I transitioned into a Library Director
role with the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Library (DHPGML), I immediately knew who to
turn to for renovations to my library. The beauty of Library Interiors is that they are willing
to work with you over a period of time. Unlike BPLS, DHPGML has a much smaller and
limited budget but I have been able to incorporate new items almost every year that continue
to carry a cohesive design. Through time, new members have been added to the Library
Interiors team such as, Delmarius Steele. He has been just as attentive and friendly as the
founders. In truth, the entire Library Interiors team is professional, friendly, and highly
skilled. Every order feels like you are a high-end customer, from letting you select from
multiple companies and actual physical samples to taking care of every aspect of the delivery
including installation and clean up. Furthermore, if they don’t have exactly what you need
they are willing to create custom designs. For us, they’ve done custom designs from our café
to our children’s computer desk. I wish every vendor and transaction worked exactly as
Library Interiors does, it would make all librarians lives so much easier. I will continue to
work with Library Interiors for years to come and I know I will get durable and beautiful
products and great service every time.
Sincerely,
Marisol Vidales
