November 11,2010 Pamela E. Sarno Court Planner II Judicial Department Office of the Chief Court Administrator Materials Management-Purchasing 90 Washington St. Hartford, CT. 06106 Re: Fiscal Year 201112012 Bid # 04-6024 Criminal Justice Family Matters Training Dear Ms. Sarno, Please find attached to this letter the original copy of the documents that you sent to me regarding the extension of my contract for services with your department. While I have agreed to the extension and the terms indicated, I wish to ask for a review of the following terms of the agreement:

My contracted rate is $250 per hour. When this contract was first signed, in 2006
my rate for service of this sort was $250 per hour. My rate increased to reflect increases in the economy to $300 per hour in 2008. I would like this increase to carryover into this contract extension. While much of the training that I provide involves repeat sessions of modules that I have developed in the past, there are requests for new material as well. Recently I was asked to develop, developed and presented a module on Parenting Plans from a Developmental Perspective for the Family Relations Counselors in-service training. Provisions in my contract allow for very limited preparation time. I would ask that this provision be extended, if necessary to provide me with time to develop new training materials if requested to by the department.

2 I hope that you will consider these requests and look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,

Howard M. Krieger, Ph.D. cc: Sidney Horowitz, Ph.D.

MEMORANDUM

TO: FROM:

ALL PROSPECTIVE RESPONDENTS PAMELA E. SARNO JUDICIAL PURCHASING DECEMBER 18, 2006 ADDENDUM 1 - RFQ #04-6024 CRlMINAL JUSTICE, FAMILY MATTERS AND JUSTICE EMPLOYEE TRAINING SERVICES

DATE: RE:

The purpose of this addendum is to offer the following clarifications due to questions received:
1. Who will the training participants be? Probation officers? Treatment providers? Both CSSD staff and Contract Services staff may be participants. 2. Ifwe deliver a training/curriculum and let CT have the rights to do whatever they want with it in the state, would we still be able to retain the rights to train the curriculum elsewhere? The RFP requires that if a vendor creates a training/curriculum for Judicial, the material belongs exclusively to us and the vendor would not be able to use that material as the basis for a training/curriculum with another client unless they sought and were granted permission by the Branch. If, however, a vendor has a pre-existing copyrighted training/curriculum, which they customize for Connecticut, the vendor would retain its copyright but Judicial would have the rights specified on page 9 under Term AC, Copyrights, for pre-existing works of authorship. Finally, if a vendor gets permission (i.e. a license) to include a third party's already copyrighted material in the vendor's training/curriculum, the vendor also must get a license from that third party granting Judicial a nonexclusive right and license to produce, reproduce, publish, distribute or otherwise use and to authorize others to use for any governmental or public purpose, the third party's material that was incorporated into the training/curriculum materials.
