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; 4) Contract Modifications – 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 259 contracts and contract modifications issued during this period New Awards accounted for 137, Other accounted for 23, Sponsorships accounted for 7, and Contract Modifications and Terminations accounted for 92.
