In-facility medical, dental, and mental health services are included in the daily rate set forth in <br /> Exhibit A. Should a Contract Agency Inmate require medical, mental health, dental, and/or other <br /> medical services at an outside medical or health care facility, SCORE shall notify the Contract <br /> Agency's designee (either by written or electronic means) within a reasonable time period before <br /> the Contract Agency Inmate receives such medical, mental health, dental or any other medical <br /> services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract Agency acknowledges that such notice may <br /> not be reasonably possible prior to emergency care. <br /> The Contract Agency shall pay for all medical, mental health, dental or any other medical services or <br /> equipment that are required to care for Contract Agency Inmates outside of the SCORE Facility in <br /> addition to the charges listed in Exhibit A. Lack of prior notice shall not excuse the Contract Agency <br /> from financial responsibility for such expenses, and shall not be a basis for imposing financial <br /> responsibility for related medical expenses on SCORE. SCORE shall bear the expense of any such <br /> medical care necessitated by improper conduct of SCORE, or of its officers or agents. <br /> If a Contract Agency Inmate is admitted to a hospital, the Contracting Agency will be responsible for <br /> hospital security unless other arrangements are made with SCORE. SCORE, in its sole discretion, <br /> may provide hospital security services for an additional charge as provided in Exhibit A. <br /> SECTION 8. DETAINERS. <br /> Warrants and Contract Agency Inmates in a "Detainer" status shall be handled according to SCORE <br /> policies and procedures and as provided in Exhibit B attached hereto. <br /> SECTION 9. RELEASE OF HOLDS AND COURT APPEARANCES. <br /> If a court of limited jurisdiction releases a hold on a Contract Agency Inmate still incarcerated at the <br /> SCORE Facility, SCORE will not facilitate further court appearances of that Contract Agency Inmate <br /> except if the Contract Agency wishes to use the video arraignment system at the SCORE Facility. <br /> SECTION 10. ESCAPE; DEATH. <br /> If a Contract Agency Inmate escapes SCORE's custody, SCORE shall notify the Contract Agency as <br /> soon as reasonably possible. SCORE shall use all reasonable efforts to pursue and regain custody of <br /> escaped Contract Agency Inmates. <br /> If a Contract Agency Inmate dies while in SCORE custody, SCORE shall notify the Contract Agency as <br /> soon as reasonably possible. The King County Medical Examiner shall assume custody of the <br /> Contract Agency Inmate's body. Unless another agency becomes responsible for investigation, one <br /> or more Member City shall investigate and shall provide the Contract Agency with a report of its <br /> investigation. The Contract Agency may participate in the investigation. If another agency becomes <br /> responsible for investigation, SCORE shall serve as a liaison or otherwise facilitate the Contract <br /> Agency's communication with and receipt of reports from the other agency. <br /> The Contract Agency shall provide SCORE with written instructions regarding the disposition of the <br /> Contract Agency Inmate's body. The Contract Agency shall pay for all reasonable expenses for the <br /> preparation and shipment of the body. The Contract Agency may request in writing that SCORE <br /> arrange for burial and all matters related or incidental thereto and the Contract Agency shall be <br /> responsible for all costs associated with this request. <br /> South Correctional Entity(SCORE) <br /> Housing Agreement <br /> Page 5 <br />
