Background
At its April 9, 1999 meeting, the Board approved a revised Procurement Policy and Procedure. Under the revised policy, RFPs and RFQs for budgeted items over $50,000, which follow the standard evaluation criteria, no longer require individual Board approval. However, a monthly report of all RFPs and RFQs over $50,000 is included as part of the Board agenda package and the Board may, if desired, take individual action on any item. The report provides the title and synopsis of the RFP or RFQ, the budgeted funds available, the release date, the closing date, the type of evaluation method, and the AQMD contact.

RFQ #2005-09 |
Issue RFQ for Purchase of Ambient Sulfur Dioxide Analyzers As part of its ambient long-term trend network, AQMD operates seven ambient sulfur dioxide (SO2) analyzers. These analyzers are over 15 years old and the original manufacturer is no longer in business so spare parts are no longer available. Staff is requesting the release of an RFQ to solicit quotes for replacement ambient SO2 analyzers. Sufficient funds are available in the Science and Technology Advancement FY 2004-05 Budget. |
