Title
Authorization for payment to National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) for 2024/2025 membership dues in the amount of $103,005.00, 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 2024/2025 membership dues in the amount of $103,005.00. The term of the District’s membership is October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025.
Through its advocacy on regulatory, legislative, legal, and management issues in the courts, on Capitol Hill, at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies, NACWA advances the vital interests of the nation’s clean water and stormwater agencies. NACWA also serves as a top technical resource for water management, sustainability, and ecosystem protection interests. The District has been a member of NACWA since 2009 and many District employees serve on various Committees providing valuable technical assistance in reviewing 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 $103,005.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612280.
Requested, Shellie A. Riedle, Administrative Services Officer, CO
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, 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 October 3, 2024
