Background
Since FY 1995-96, staff has provided a semi-annual report 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 Member Assistant agreements, revenue contracts from other agencies, or miscellaneous lease agreements which 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 project scope and/or schedule. 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 four categories, the level of approval (Board or Executive Officer) is indicated.
Summary
Of the 193 contracts and amendments issued during this period, New Awards accounted for 85, Other accounted for 32, Sponsorships accounted for 28, and Amendments accounted for 48. The total value of all contracts and amendments for this period was $9,204,648 with 60 contracts and amendments totaling $8,024,403 approved by the Board and 133 contracts and amendments totaling $1,180,245 approved by the Executive Officer. Of this latter amount $466,000 was for Board Member Assistant Contracts approved through the Board’s Administrative Committee.
