Amend Contract with Sonoma Technology, Inc. to Provide Technical Support
for AQMD PAMs Upper Air Meteorological Monitoring Network
On November 4,
2005, the Board awarded a new contract with Sonoma Technology, Inc (STI)
to provide technical support for the AQMD PAMS Upper Air Monitoring
Network, with options for three annual contract renewals. Due to the
addition of two new stations, annual costs have increased, so staff
recommends increasing funding by $10,000 to $70,000 for this renewal
option. Based on STI’s responsiveness and satisfactory
performance, staff recommends exercising the second of three one-year
renewal options in STI’s contract for an amount not to exceed $70,000,
bringing the contract total to $190,000 for ongoing field support of the
PAMS upper air meteorological stations and data management. Funding for
this contract amendment is allocated in the U.S. EPA 16th
Year Section 105 Grant for the PAMS Program. |

Recognize
Revenue and Appropriate Funds to the Statewide Portable Equipment
Registration Program (PERP) and Add and Delete Positions
This action is to add five compliance positions and one
clerical position critical to the field implementation of CARB’s
Enhanced Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP). Also, this
action is to add one Senior Air Quality Engineer in Engineering and
Compliance and delete one vacant Air Quality Engineer II position for
RECLAIM Administration. The maximum net annual salary and benefits cost
of these actions, based on current top step salaries is approximately
$616,819 and the cost of the remainder of
FY 2007-08, including vehicle and laptop computer purchases for new
inspectors is approximately $336,517. These costs are to be offset by
estimated annual inspection fee revenues of $834,000 based solely on
equipment currently in the PERP program inventory. |

Approve Budget for Air Monitoring Station Improvements
and Issue Purchase Orders
Many of the 35 air monitoring stations in the AQMD
monitoring network are in need of repair or replacement. Some of the
older modular trailers currently being used need to be replaced with new
station shelters. Other stations will need to undergo significant
maintenance, including painting, landscaping, roof repair and electrical
repairs. This action is to appropriate $161,000 from the Undesignated
Fund balance to the FY 2007-08 Budget for necessary station
improvements and issue purchase orders for new station shelters. |

Establish List of Prequalified Vendors to Provide
Computer, Network, Printer Hardware and Software, and Desktop Computer
Hardware Upgrades
On October 5, 2007, the Board approved the release of a Request for
Qualifications and Quotations (RFQQ) to prequalify vendors for computer,
network, printer hardware and software; and desktop computer hardware
upgrades. As a result of successful responses to this RFQQ, twelve
vendors were identified as capable of providing these products. This
action is to approve these twelve vendors to provide these products for
a two-year period. Funds ($300,000) for these purchases are included in
the FY 2007-08 Budget and will be included in the following FY 2008-09
Proposed Budget. |
