CONTRACTS UPDATE
a) Recap of Contracts Signed by General Manager During Second
Quarter 2014
The Board has asked to receive quarterly reports of the professional consulting
agreements entered into by the General Manager that fall within the increased staff
authority limits that became effective December 15, 2011. On that date, the limit on staff
authority for professional consulting services agreements was raised by the Board from
$50,000 to $100,000. This is a report of all professional agreements entered into by staff
which fall within the new staff authority limits (over $50,000 and less than $100,000) as
well as amendments that cause agreements to fall within this dollar range.
Listed below are all such agreements /amendments entered into during the second

All other contracts that are not considered "professional services" (such as maintenance
services, equipment, chemicals, and supplies) do not require Board approval, regardless
of dollar amount. The Board approves the annual budget which includes the expenses
that come from these contracts, so these contracts are not included in this report as they
historically have been within staff authority.

on whether to place the charges on the Contra Costa property tax roll for collection. This
is generally done in July because the deadline for placing charges on the tax roll is in
August.
This year, for the first year in a long while, there are no delinquencies being brought to the
Board for placement on the tax roll. Staff has pursued several illegal connections, all of
which have been collected.
