18. Authorize Purchase of Network Laser Printers
Mathur (909) 396-2722
(vmathur@aqmd.gov )
Many of the AQMD’s laser printers are older models nearing the end of their life cycles. They also lack the capabilities and features that are necessary to our staff such as duplex and envelope printing, and multiple input paper trays. This action is to authorize purchase of network laser printer replacements or upgrades from a qualified vendor to enhance staff productivity. Funds for these fixed assets ($50,000) are included in the FY 1997-98 Budget. This item was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on September 19, 1997, and recommended for approval.
Within the FY 1997-99 AB 2766 Discretionary Fund Work Program, the MSRC created a $6.5 million Local Government Subvention Fund Match Program which, through a simplified application process, provides a 25% match to cities and counties within the AQMD’s jurisdiction that receive AB 2766 City Subvention Funds. Eligible match categories include alternative fuels/electric vehicles, transportation related land-use strategies, public transportation (transit & rail), traffic management, transportation demand management (non-Rule 2202), market-based strategies, bicycles, and public education related to clean vehicles or transportation. Funds will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. The six-month application process is May 15 through November 15, 1997. At this time the MSRC is requesting Board approval of applications recently submitted by local governments.
The Board’s April 11, 1997 approval in concept of the FY 1997-99 Discretionary Fund Work Program included a $500,000 Research and Development (R&D) Program and a $2.5 million TCM Program. Following this approval, one R&D RFP and three TCM RFPs were released. The TCM RFPs solicited proposals for projects in the areas of market incentives, student education and smart shuttles. Thirty-one proposals were received by the 5 p.m. deadline on Tuesday, June 24. At its August 28, 1997 and October 23, 1997 meetings, the MSRC reviewed its Technical Advisory Committee’s recommendations for these proposals as part of the FY 1997-99 Work Program. The MSRC requests Board approval of these Work Program projects; authority to adjust up to an additional 5%, as necessary, the funding of individual projects; and authority to execute agreements.
The Board’s April 11, 1997 approval in concept of the FY 1997-99 AB 2766 Discretionary Fund Work Program included an $8.55 million ZEV/ULEV Program. At its August 28, 1997 meeting, the MSRC unanimously approved $8,000 of co-funding toward an EV survey currently being conducted by the California Electric Transportation Coalition (CalETC), in coordination with a consortium of private/public agencies and automobile manufacturers, to assist in determining the future placement of EV charging stations. The MSRC’s allocation of AB 2766 Discretionary Funds are intended to complement an existing $40,000 contract between the AQMD’s Technology Advancement office and CalETC. The consortium also contributed equivalent dollars or in-kind contributions. The MSRC requests Board approval of this effort as part of the FY 1997-99 Work Program.
