Issue RFP

Reductions
The AQMD anticipates
the need for the services of intermediaries to facilitate, or otherwise
broker, trades between participants in its GHG emission reduction
programs. This action is to issue an RFP to solicit bids from qualified

Adopt Proposed Rule 317 – Clean Air Act
Non-Attainment Fees
Sections 182 and 185 of
the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, require major stationary sources
of NOx and VOC located in air basins that do not attain the federal
1-hour ozone standard by the statutory deadline to pay mitigation fees
based upon a prescribed formula each year until attainment is
demonstrated. Proposed Rule 317 implements these Clean Air Act
requirements and 2007 AQMP Control Measure MCS-08 - Clear Air Act
Emission Fees for Major Stationary Sources.
(There is no written material for this item; staff will provide an
update. Also this item will also be discussed at the November 21, 2008 Stationary
Source Committee meeting.) |

Proposed Rule 314 – Fees for Architectural Coatings
Rule 314 – Fees
for Architectural Coatings was adopted in June 2008. The proposed
amendment addresses follow-up issues, clarifying the applicability and
reporting requirements sections of the rule to include architectural
coatings sold through big box retailers, as well as adding a fee
exemption for post-consumer coating volume used in recycled coatings.
(There is no written

Execute Sole Source Contract for Maintenance and Management Services of Fast Fill CNG Fueling Station at AQMD Headquarters
The AQMD currently
operates a natural gas fueling station to accommodate the growing
alternative fuel use. The station requires periodic preventive maintenance and
management services to ensure efficient and continuous operation of the
station. This action is to execute a contract with Pinnacle CNG Company
for the maintenance and management service of this station from the Fast
Fill CNG Fueling Station Enterprise Fund. Staff also proposes to
provide 24 hour public access to the AQMD station by installing a
security camera and an automatic gate at a cost not to exceed $15,000
from the Clean Fuels Fund. |

1000M MG system in an efficient, turn-key manner, with minimal impact to
AQMD staff. As a result of successful responses to this RFQ, Integrated

Issue RFP
for Diamond Bar Headquarters Audio-Visual Upgrade
AQMD’s Diamond Bar
headquarters audio-visual system, which was installed in 1991, requires
upgrade. In June 2008, an audio-visual design consultant was hired to
develop a detailed design and technical specification for a new
state-of-the-art system which meets the functional requirements of
AQMD. This action is to issue an RFP to solicit proposals from
qualified firms to implement the design and install a new fully
functional cost-effective state-of-the-art audio-visual system. |
