Amend Contract with Stratus Consulting for Tasks
Related to 2007 AQMP
In September 2006, the Board approved a contract with Stratus
Consulting for the health benefit assessment work related to the 2007
AQMP. Stratus Consulting is updating morbidity and mortality risk
factors of ozone and PM (including PM2.5) and the willingness to pay
values for different health effects. The contract is being modified to
add an additional $30,000 to include three tasks that are beyond the
current scope of work, which are a necessary extension of the work
already approved. The contract is being extended to June 30, 2007, as a
sole-source contract. Funding for the modification is available in the
FY 2006-2007 Professional and Special Services budget.

Establish Class and Add and Delete Positions in FY
2006-07 Budget
This action is to establish a new class of Assistant Database
Administrator and to make a number of position changes to address
changing work needs and to reduce the need for temporary employees where
work is ongoing. The FY 2006-07 budgetary impact of these changes is
approximately $90,050; when offset by savings in temporary services, the
impact is approximately $12,882.

Execute Lease Contracts for Mailing Equipment
On May 5, 2006, the Board approved release of an RFQ to solicit lease
proposals to replace the mailroom's USPS-compliant mailing system and to
lease additional equipment for folding, inserting, and addressing mail.
This action is to execute five-year lease agreements with Pitney Bowes,
Inc., for this mailing equipment. The annual first-year cost of these
leases, including maintenance service, is estimated to be approximately
$19,470, and the annual cost for each of the remaining four years is
estimated to be $20,358.

Authorize Purchase of Desktop Computer Hardware
Upgrades
AQMD operational efficiency is dependent on staffs' 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. This action is to authorize purchase of new desktop
computer systems, with adequate capacity to support current software
applications, to replace older desktop systems. These replacements are
in accord with AQMD's Information Management Strategic Plan 2001. Funds
for this purchase ($125,000) are included in the
FY 2006-07 Budget.

Authorize Purchase of Telecommunication Services
On June 2, 2006, AQMD released an RFP to select a vendor(s) capable of
providing telecommunication services to the AQMD in the most
cost-effective manner and, if possible, to consolidate all telephone
company-related services to a single telecommunications provider. These
telecommunication services included local, long distance, toll-free, and
calling card services; air-monitoring telemetry, frame-relay circuits;
leased dedicated lines; internet access; phone switch maintenance; and
wireless voice and data. This action is to obtain approval to purchase
telecommunication services from the selected vendor(s) for a period of
three years. Funds for this purchase are included in the FY 2006-07
Budget ($684,600) and will be included in subsequent fiscal years
budgets.
