Background
Since FY 1995-96, staff has provided semi-annual reports to the 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; and 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 328 contracts and amendments issued during this period, New Awards accounted for 226, Other accounted for 16, Sponsorships accounted for 11, and Amendments accounted for 75. The total value for new awards was $40,084,825. Of this amount, $36,686,413 or 92% was awarded through the competitive process. The total value of all contracts and amendments for this period was $41,212,137 of which 94% or $38,553,031 was from Special Revenue funds (e.g. Moyer, Power plant mitigation and State School Bus programs). A total of 228 contracts and amendments totaling $40,434,994 were approved by the Board and 100 contracts and amendments totaling $777,143 were approved by the Executive Officer. Of this latter amount $384,000 was for Board Member Assistant contracts as approved by the Board’s Administrative Committee.
