This file is an email chain documenting the approval of liquidated damages language for RFP 2640461, issued by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California. The correspondence between Ellis Hoskin, Senior Contract Administrator at OCTA's Contracts Administration and Materials Management (CAMM) department, and Pia Veesapen shows that liquidated damages terms for the hydrogen mobile fuelers procurement were submitted for approval on July 30, 2026, and approved as written on July 31, 2026. The liquidated damages article was drafted from previously approved and executed Agreement No. C13317 for CNG Operations & Maintenance, indicating consistency with existing contract language and established practices within the organization.

The approval email provides minimal detail regarding specific contract terms, pricing, or project deliverables, as it focuses solely on the administrative approval of contractual language rather than substantive procurement requirements. The liquidated damages provision represents a standard risk mitigation mechanism to address potential contractor performance failures or delays in delivering the two hydrogen mobile fuelers for OCTA's 40-foot hydrogen fuel cell bus fleet, with a total project budget of $5,872,800 for the one-year initial term.
