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.
Outreach
In accordance with AQMD’s Procurement Policy and Procedure, a public notice advertising the RFP/RFQ and inviting bids will be published in the Los Angeles Times, the Orange County Register, the San Bernardino Sun, and Riverside County Press Enterprise newspapers to leverage the most cost-effective method of outreach to the entire South Coast Basin.
Additionally, potential bidders may be notified utilizing AQMD’s own electronic listing of certified minority vendors. Notice of the RFP/RFQ will be mailed to the Black and Latino Legislative Caucuses and various minority chambers of commerce and business associations, the State of California Contracts Register website, and placed on the Internet at AQMD’s Web site (http://www.aqmd.gov where it can be viewed by making menu selections “Inside AQMD”/“Employment and Business Opportunities”/“Business Opportunities” or by going directly to http://www.aqmd.gov/rfp/index.html). Information is also available on AQMD’s bidder’s 24-hour telephone message line (909) 396-2724.
Proposal Evaluation
Proposals received will be evaluated by applicable diverse panels of technically qualified individuals familiar with the subject matter of the project or equipment and may include outside public sector or academic community expertise.

REQUESTS FOR QUALIFICATIONS - Prequalified Vendor List
| RFQ #Q2008-09 | Issue Request for Qualifications to Prequalify Vendors for Computer, Network, Printer, Hardware and Software; and Quotations for Desktop Computer Hardware Upgrades |
MARLIA/3148 |
| On February 3, 2006, the Board approved a vendor list for the purchase of personal computer hardware, software, and installation services for a period of two years. The current vendor list expires on February 2, 2008. AQMD operational efficiency is dependent on staff's desktop computer systems, and many software applications (both off-the-shelf and in-house developed applications) are exceeding the capacity of the present desktop systems. New desktop computer systems, with adequate capacity to support current software applications, are needed to replace older desktop systems. These replacements are in accord with AQMD's Information Management Strategic Plan. This action is to issue an RFQQ (Request for Qualifications and Quotations) to competitively develop a new list of vendors for computer, network and printer; hardware and software for a two-year term, and to authorize the purchase of new desktop computer systems. Funds for these purchases ($200,000) made under this prequalified vendors lists, and purchase of the desktop computer hardware upgrades ($100,000) are included in the FY 2007-08 Budget. |
REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS – Commercial Off-the-Shelf Equipment
