Background

Since FY 1995-96, staff has provided semi-annual reports 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, 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; 5) Terminated Contracts – Partial Work Performed – modifications to contracts to reflect termination of a portion of work which result in de-obligation of contract funding. The report further specifies under New Awards, which contracts were awarded competitively and which were awarded on a sole source basis. Within the first four categories, the level of approval (Board or Executive Officer) is indicated.
