Issue Purchase Order for CNG Passenger Vehicles to Conduct Special Particulate Air Monitoring Program
On November 3, 2006, the Board approved release of an
RFQ to competitively select a vendor from which to
purchase nine new dedicated CNG Compact Cars to
conduct the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
enhanced particulate monitoring program.  This action
is to issue a purchase order for the nine vehicles based
on the RFQ results.  The allocation for this purchase has
been discussed and approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Execute Contract for Janitorial Services at Diamond
Bar Headquarters

The current contract for Diamond Bar headquarters
janitorial services expires February 28, 2007.  On
October 6, 2006, the Board approved release of an RFP
to solicit proposals from firms interested in providing this service for the next three-year period.  This action is to execute a contract with Santa Fe Building Maintenance through February 28, 2010, for an amount not to exceed $922,395.  Funding for this contract has been included
in the FY 2006-07 Budget and will be requested in

Authorize Sole Source Contract and Issue RFP for Air Quality Institute Training Sessions on Fair Share Mobile Source Emissions Reductions Outlined in Draft 2007
AQMP
 
In January 2006, the Board approved implementation of the Air Quality Institute (AQI).  Based on the success of these sessions, staff is proposing to embark on Phase 2 of the AQI, which would focus on the Fair Share of Mobile Source Emissions Reductions as outlined in the Draft 2007 AQMP.  A sole-source contract is recommended with the previous contractor to conduct two training sessions in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.  Staff also recommends issuing an RFP to continue with the policy outreach and select a contractor to conduct these training sessions in 2007-2008.
