Title
Authorization for payment to National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) for 2020 membership dues in the amount of $85,985.00, Account 101-15000-612280
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) for the District’s 2020 membership dues in the amount of $85,985.00. The term of the District’s membership is October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.
Through its advocacy on regulatory, legislative, legal, and management issues in the courts, on Capitol Hill, and at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies, NACWA advances the vital interests of the nation’s clean water agencies/utilities. Many of the District’s staff are members of various NACWA Committees and provide valuable technical assistance in the review of proposed regulations which affect all NACWA members.
Inasmuch as NACWA membership is not available through any other source, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize payment, by direct voucher, to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, in the amount of $85,985.00. Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612280.
Requested, Eileen M. McElligott, Administrative Services Officer, JRM:TG:PS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for November 21, 2019
