NCB 6501 Local Government Commission

This is a non-competitive bid (NCB) contract opportunity posted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) for the Local Government Commission (LGC) to participate in the Governor's CivicSpark program. The CivicSpark program is designed to build the capacity of local governments in California to address climate change. LGC is the sole organization appointed by the Governor to administer this AmeriCorps program, which is the only one of its kind in the state dedicated to this purpose. The contract term is from the date of Department of General Services (DGS) approval through March 31, 2017 for a total amount of $23,400. This NCB is exempt from advertising in the California State Contracts Register per Public Contract Code Section 10340(b)(4), as LGC is the sole provider of these climate change mitigation services through the CivicSpark program. The contract supports the development of a statewide database of climate change mitigation efforts to facilitate knowledge transfer between local governments, which is critical for compliance with AB 32 mandates.

As this is an NCB opportunity, no bids will be accepted. The contract is restricted to LGC as the sole organization appointed by the Governor to administer the CivicSpark program. There are no set-aside designations or other restrictions on the type of organization that can respond. The incumbent vendor is LGC, and the contract value is $23,400.
