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 Assistant agreements, revenue contracts from other agencies, or miscellaneous lease agreements that 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 the 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 Executive Officer) is indicated.

Summary

Of the 100 contracts and amendments issued during this period New Awards accounted for 36, Other accounted for 19, Sponsorships accounted for 11, and Amendments accounted for 34. The total value for new awards was $4,813,667. Of this amount $3,627,900 or 75.4% was awarded through the competitive process. The total value of all contracts and amendments for this period was $5,908,314 with 39 contracts and amendments totaling $5,232,331 approved by the Board and 61 contracts and amendments totaling $675,983 approved by the Executive Officer. Of this latter amount $378,225 was for Board Member Assistant contracts as approved by the Board’s Administrative Committee.
