CENTRAL RESERVATION SERVICES.
This database is current through 01/05/07, Register 2007, No. 1.
s 5359.1. Proposal Process.

(a) The Office shall be authorized to maintain up to nine (9) hyperlinks
with Central Reservation Services on the Tourism Website. Three (3) of the
hyperlinks shall be reserved for General Central Reservation Services and
six (6) of the hyperlinks shall be reserved for Specialty Central
Reservation Services. A summary of the requirements for the establishment
of a hyperlink shall be posted on the Tourism Web Site. The Web Site will
contain a disclaimer that indicates that the Reservation Services linked
to the site are privately operated and not connected with or endorsed by
the State of California.

(b) The Office shall accept Proposals from Central Reservation Services
for the establishment of hyperlinks on a continuous basis. A Central
Reservation Service applying for a hyperlink shall submit one (1) original
and one (1) copy of the Proposal described in section 5359.5 to the
Office. All Proposals received by the Office shall be kept on file until a
hyperlink becomes available.

(c) When a hyperlink becomes available, the Office shall conduct a
technical review of each Proposal on file to determine whether or not it
is complete. The Office shall mail a notice to each Central Reservation
Service that submitted an incomplete Proposal identifying the steps that
must be taken to correct the deficiencies contained in the Proposal,
within thirty (30) days of the date the hyperlink became available. A
Central Reservation Service shall have a period of fourteen (14) days from
the date of mailing of the notice to correct the deficiencies. If the
deficiencies are not corrected within the fourteen (14) day period, the
Proposal shall be disqualified from further consideration.

(d) No later than thirty (30) days following the subsection (c) technical
review, a panel consisting of not less than two (2) and not more than four
(4) professional employees of the Agency shall use the criteria described
in section 5359.5 to score all Proposals that meet the eligibility
requirements described in section 5359.2. The Office shall award a
hyperlink to the Central Reservation Service(s) that receives the highest
score, until all available hyperlinks have been awarded. The Office shall
mail a notice to each Central Reservation Service that submitted an
eligible Proposal indicating whether the Proposal was approved or
disapproved within ninety (90) days of the date the hyperlink became
available. The Office shall retain all disapproved, eligible Proposals for
future consideration. If only one (1) Proposal for an available hyperlink
is received, the Office shall award the hyperlink to the Central
Reservation Service that submitted that Proposal, so long as the Central
Reservation Service meets the requirements described in section 5359.2. If
no eligible Proposals are received, the hyperlink shall remain unfilled
until the Office receives an eligible Proposal.

(e) Not later than fourteen (14) days following the mailing of a notice
approving a Proposal, a Central Reservation Service shall establish a
hyperlink on the Tourism Web Site. If the hyperlink is not established
within the fourteen (14) day period, the Office shall award the hyperlink
to another Central Reservation Service pursuant to the procedures
described in subsection (d). A hyperlink shall expire three (3) years
following the date of establishment, except for hyperlinks currently
posted on the Tourism Web Site which shall expire three (3) years
following the effective date of this regulation.

(f) Thirty (30) days after being disqualified pursuant to subsection (c)
or having its hyperlink expire pursuant to subsection (e), a Central
Reservation Service shall be eligible to submit another Proposal to the
Office.
