Background

Since FY 1995-96, staff has provided a semi-annual report to the Governing Board on contract activity. This report identifies four categories of contract awards: 1) New Awards – new contracts for professional services and research projects; 2) Other – air monitoring station leases, Board Member Assistant agreements, revenue contracts from other agencies, or miscellaneous lease agreements which generate revenue, e.g., lease of AQMD space; 3) Sponsorships – contracts funding public events and technical conferences which provide air quality benefits; 4) Amendments – modifications to existing contracts usually reflecting changes in project scope and/or schedule. The report further specifies, under New Awards, which contracts were awarded competitively and which were awarded on a sole source basis. Within each of the four categories, the level of approval (Board or Acting Executive Officer) is indicated.

Summary

Of the 228 contracts and amendments issued during this period, New Awards accounted for 94, Other accounted for 25, Sponsorships accounted for 19, and Amendments accounted for 90. The total value for new awards was $9,579,450. The total value of all contracts and amendments for this period was $10,654,878 with 66 contracts and amendments totaling $9,564,511 approved by the Board and 162 contracts and amendments totaling $1,090,367 approved by the Acting Executive Officer. The latter figure is slightly less than the $1,131,588 approved by the previous Executive Officer during FY 1996-97. In addition, of this latter amount, $365,593 was for Board Member Assistant Contracts approved through the Board’s Administrative Committee.
