Background

Since FY 1995-96, staff has provided semi-annual reports to the Governing Board on District contract activity. This report identifies five 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) 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 each of the five categories, the level of approval (Board or Executive Officer) is indicated.

Summary

Of the 269 contracts and contract modifications issued during this period, New Awards accounted for 126, Other accounted for 25, Sponsorships accounted for 8, and Contract Modifications accounted for 110. The total value for New Awards was $39,857,198. Of this amount $33,471,208 or 84%, was awarded through the competitive process. The total value of all contracts and contract modifications for this period was $43,406,708, with 119 contracts and contract modifications totaling $42,454,611 approved by the Board and 103 contracts and contract modifications totaling $952,097 approved by the Executive Officer. Of this latter amount, $532,427, representing 20 contracts, was for Board Member Assistant contracts as approved by the Board’s Administrative Committee; and $154,790, representing 62 contracts, was for contract modifications for extensions of time or additional budgeted services from previously approved vendors. Thirty-three contract terminations with partial work completed during this period de-obligated a total of $1,012,292.
