California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
1 Proposed Project Change 1.1 Project Background/Summary Air quality monitoring data underpin all programs at the California Air Resources Board (CARB), as they
signal the location, type, and extent of air quality problems present throughout the State. Further,
when air quality data are combined with emissions inventory data and an effective understanding of
emission control technologies, they help to inform the State’s plans to achieve air quality progress and serve as metrics by which the State can measure progress and demonstrate program success. Recent
legislation, Assembly Bill 617 (Chapter 136) (Garcia, 2017; AB 617), calls for more comprehensive and
understandable assessments of air pollution impacts and trends at a finer level of geographic detail. As
a result, there is a more integrated approach to conduct more widespread air quality monitoring and
develop targeted plans to improve air quality within communities. Legislation also requires that CARB
collect the air monitoring data from these efforts and publish the data online. To be able to manage the
volume, velocity, and variety of data, CARB must utilize a modern and effective framework to ingest,
store, and disseminate the data and related information.
1.1.1 Description of Business Program Air quality monitoring data underpin all programs at the California Air Resources Board (CARB). First and
foremost, ambient air monitoring data signal the location, type, and extent of air quality problems
present throughout the State. Second, monitored data inform and improve the performance of tools used
in the planning process. Lastly, air quality data act as metrics by which the State can measure progress
and demonstrate program success.
Historically, CARB, air districts, and other entities have focused on measuring regional ambient criteria
pollutant and toxic air contaminant levels for federal regulatory purposes. In other words, ambient air
quality data have traditionally come from monitors meeting particular siting requirements (e.g., not
within a certain distance of a known pollution source), instrument requirements (e.g., monitors must be
federally approved), and data quality requirements (e.g., follow calibration and audit procedures, dataset
completeness, etc.). While these traditional monitoring efforts have been successful in improving overall
air quality on a regional scale, not all communities within these regions have experienced these benefits
equally, and some communities are still disproportionately burdened by air quality issues.
Assembly Bill 617 (AB 617) shifts the focus of air quality monitoring from the regional- to the
community-scale in order to enhance our understanding of localized air pollution impacts and improve
air quality in disproportionately burdened communities. The bill requires an air district containing a
selected location (community) to deploy a community air monitoring system in that location by July 1st,
2019 that may consist of both continuous and non-continuous monitoring (e.g. laboratory-analyzed).
Additionally, several community-based organizations in the surrounding area were awarded grants to
deploy air quality monitors to enhance the spatial and temporal coverage of community monitoring and
improve local awareness of air pollution exposure.
Furthermore, these air quality monitoring groups are taking advantage of the growing market of
innovative and low-cost monitoring technologies to implement community-scale monitoring. Although
their data do not satisfy federal monitoring accuracy requirements, these new monitoring technologies

California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
report data at much higher time resolutions (sub-hourly) and can be deployed in large numbers to
improve spatial coverage. Increased data granularity will demonstrate air quality problems more clearly
in affected communities. Deeper insight into each air quality problem will inform the particular strategies
that CARB and air district employ to reduce emissions and their impacts on the communities.
CARB, air districts, and other data providers operate nearly 200 air quality sites throughout the State.
Through standard monitoring protocols and data quality objectives, data providers maintain sites and
instruments so that these data collected are accurate and representative. Data providers review data to
ensure its quality, and then submit the reviewed (official) data to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Air Quality System (AQS) database. Official air quality data from AQS are propagated into CARB’s Aerometric Data Analysis and Management (ADAM) system on a daily basis. These data are then summarized, and ADAM calculates regulatory statistics to determine whether or not regions
meet the level of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Since the data review process
before submission to AQS can take time, there is often a delay of 3 to 4 months before official data are
reported to AQS.
While AQMIS has near realtime capabilities for criteria pollutants, ADAM contains additional data related
to toxic air pollutants, and calculates official regulatory statistics for criteria pollutants. A new database
and web portal are critical to the success of the community air monitoring program. The current
databases’ architecture (data streams, processing, quality assurance and quality management procedures, etc.) do not support the volume, veracity, and type of the high-resolution data from new
sensor technology. Further, AQMIS and ADAM contain regulatory data comparable to the NAAQS, while
the new community monitoring database will contain finer resolution, nonregulatory data that are not
directly comparable to the NAAQS and will require a new data format for submission.
Maintaining accurate up-to-date metadata on monitoring sites in AQMIS such as the location, operation
status, and an inventory of monitoring equipment used is a challenge as there is currently no system for
receiving this information from data providers directly and instead relies upon one-off communications
and manual updates. The number of monitors managed by CARB is expected to grow significantly with
the addition of community-levels monitors, necessitating a new efficient system for tracking changes to
monitoring activities by data providers to maximize the accuracy of our public display.
The current public displays for ADAM and AQMIS are dated and are geared toward technical air quality
professionals. The primary purpose of the new air quality portal will be to convey near real-time air
pollution exposure-levels and assist tracking emission reductions over time for the general public. The
new public display must include a modern, engaging experience for both a technical and non-technical
audience.
1.1.2 Description of Current Business Process CAQM is a new initiative. There is no current business process for it.
1.1.3 Impact of the Proposal on the Business Program / Process The Community Air Quality Monitoring database and web portal (CAQM) plays a pivotal role in fulfilling
requirements of AB 617. As part of the Community Air Protection Program (developed in response to AB
617), Air Districts and Community Organizations have initiated air quality monitoring in selected areas of

California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
California and the coverage of monitoring across the state continues to grow. The abundance of these
data are highly valuable for community members that want more information regarding their exposure
to air pollution. However, community members are unable to access these data in the absence of the
CAQM system. CAQM is meant to serve as a repository for all AB 617 air quality monitoring data and a
tool for easily visualizing these data in near real-time. The need for developing CAQM is greater than
ever and will only become more valuable as the Community Air Protection Program evolves. The impact
of delaying development of CAQM on the various user groups will result in:
Public/AB 617 Community Members: Very limited access to community air quality data and no
visualization platform for getting air pollution exposure estimates in near-real time.
Air Districts: Very limited abilities to monitor data they submit and update air quality
monitoring site information to maintain data accuracy.
Community-based Organizations (CBO): Very limited abilities to monitor data they submit and
update air quality monitoring site information to maintain data accuracy and no visualization
platform for getting air pollution exposure estimates in near-real time.
CARB: Prevents CARB from effectively disseminating community air quality data and improving
awareness of community air pollution exposure. Hinders ability to perform critical quality
assurance and quality control checks on the data to maintain data integrity. Hinders ability to
perform air quality analysis for purposes of developing air quality improvement plans.
1.1.4 Customers and Users of the Business Program / Process During the business requirements gathering phase of the contract, CARB met with various user groups
throughout the State to better understand their needs, and how the new system would be used by each
group. The list below identifies each user group, and how they intend to use the system:
AB 617 community members and other public users: Monitor air quality exposure in the state and in their communities.
Air Districts: Air districts submit air quality and meteorological data from their monitoring sites to CARB’s new air quality monitoring portal. Air districts can use the portal as a data repository, visualization tool, and as a tool for evaluating the quality of their data.
Community Organizations: Community groups will submit air quality and meteorological data from their sites to CARB’s new air quality monitoring portal. These organizations can use the portal as a data repository, visualization tool, and as a tool for evaluating the quality of their data.
CARB Staff: Manage data collection and data quality analyses, update system content as the AB 617 program expands, and perform outreach to maximize utility of portal.

California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
1.2 Project Status 1.3 Reason for Proposed Change The project implementation phase commenced June 29, 2018 with an implementation vendor. The
Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) Stage Gate 4 Project Readiness and Approval (S4PRA) project scoping
review was completed January 2, 2019. During implementation, quality and schedule deficiencies of the
implementation vendor software design and construction deliverables were noted.
The projects scope defined in S1BA did not change. CARB is working based on the original project scope approval. The PAL process was completed for the original project – no additional PAL process approval is being sought.
CARB notified the implementation vendor of deficiencies of the deliverables via three Corrective Action
memos. However, the issues were not resolved by the time the vendor contract was ended. The total
appropriation monies spent and paid to vendors was $621,476. During this time, the following items were
developed that will be used for completing the CAQM project:
User Interface for internal and public sites
User Experience and Workflows for internal and public sites
The project solution level reporting and business requirements activity was completed on 12/12/2018.
Schedule. This effort was significantly under-estimated resulting in an overall optimistic and unrealistic
schedule that placed considerable pressure on the project and vendor team. The vendor team worked
to reach the deadlines with inadequate resources and failed to deliver complete set of deliverables.
Scope. The scope of the project remained unchanged from the original proposal outlined during the PAL
process and documented in the RFO, however implementation of the business requirements required
skills and resources beyond the vendor’s original cost estimates. The complexity of this project’s scope
was underestimated by the vendor, therefore resulting in inaccurate estimates of time and costs.
New non-functional requirements for system implementation have been introduced to address the
upcoming enterprise infrastructure changes. System should be designed and developed to run in a cloud
environment.
Cost. Implementation of the business requirements required skills and resources that the vendor did not
anticipate when providing a project bid in response to the RFO. After project solution level reporting
and business requirements activity was completed the vendor identified that the funding allocated for
the project was inadequate based on the project’s scope and complexity.
This SPR updates the project’s baseline for schedule, scope, and cost to ensure sufficient resources and
timeline to implement functionality to fully meet CARB’s emissions inventory business needs. The
purpose of these updates is to attract more highly qualified vendors, increased transparency, and to add
a stabilization period.
1.4 Proposed Project Change This SPR updates the project to:

California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
1. Extend the project end date and increase the one-time cost for the CAQM project including the
recurring annual maintenance and operations costs
and,
2. In collaboration with California Department of Technology, Statewide Technology Procurement
Division (STPD), issue new Request for Offer for a systems integration vendor to design and construct a
custom system to meet the requirements identified in Stage 3 for this project.
Impact of Proposed Change on the Project
This SPR does not change the original scope for the CAQM project.
This SPR adds 36 months to project schedule, moving the project completion date from 07/01/2019 to
06/30/2022 to provide the timeframe in which all CAQM functionality can be implemented, including a
stabilization and closeout period.
These changes will allow CARB to implement the remaining CAQM functionalities required for the
program to fully manage its processes.
This SPR updates the cost for the project. The following table compares the Baseline FAWs with the SPR
1.0 total One-Time Costs and Future Fiscal Year (FY) Annual Operations. Includes FY 19/20 and forward
salary and benefits increase adjustments. The change column represents the difference between the
original cost baseline and the proposed SPR 1.0 cost baseline.
CARB completed a Request for Information (RFI) process, which resulted in seven (7) responses. Two of
the responses were not considered, as they did not provide sufficient information. This information was
analyzed with the outcomes of type of implementation (COTS, MOTS, Custom), and estimated time and
cost to complete the project. The Special Project Report was completed using these vendor provided
estimates.
Three responses were received for the Community Air Quality Monitoring Portal (CAQM) Request for
Information (RFI).
This included three custom solutions:
“Custom A”
Labor: $ 1,553,955
Licensing: $ 147,648
Total: $ 1,701,603
“Custom B”
Labor: $ 780,000
Licensing: $ 0
Total: $ 780,000
“Custom C”
Labor: $ 3,359,600
Licensing: $ 116,740
Total: $ 3,476,340
And two modified-of-the-shelf (MOTS) solutions:

California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
“MOTS D”
Labor: $ 399,000
Licensing: $ 220,000
Total: $ 619,000
“MOTS E”
Labor: $ 608,166
Licensing: $ 332,640
Total: $ 940,806
The MOTS solutions are based on existing commercially available software tools, which address several major
components of the CAQM scope, but will still require modifications and further enhancements to provide a complete
solution for CARB; additionally, both MOTS require an ongoing annual license subscription.
In order to better qualify the final estimates and approach, CARB did a review of the vendor responses
to determine the vendor level understands of the project scope and therefore CARB’s level of
confidence in their estimate. This review was not intended to assess a vendor’s fit for implementing the
system, but rather whether their response covered all given scope components and with sufficient
understanding of the requirements to make a reasonable estimate of cost and effort. By completing RFI
response analysis CARB determined that estimated time 18 months and estimated cost $1,900,000 for
completing CAQM implementation by vendor.
In review of the estimated costs and timeframes, the department determined that all existing resources
are being fully utilized and funds were not available to accommodate the request. Therefore, CARB
seeks a FY20-21 Budget Change Proposal to augment existing budgets.
Change Cost Table Stage Gate 4 PAL SPR 1.0 Change
Total, One-Time Costs $ 2,280,488 $6,587,474 $ $4,307,026
Implementation/Integration vendor cost
$763,481 $2,521,476 $1,900,000 (BCP – Spring Finance Letter request for FY 20/21)
included reverted amount of $142,005
Final FY Annual Maintenance & Operations Costs
$ 244,676 $359,743 $115,067
Accessibility
CARB will address accessibility requirements during system development.
Feasibility Alternatives Considered
CARB completed a Request for Information (RFI) process, which resulted in seven (7) responses. Two of
the responses were not considered, as they did not provide sufficient information. This information
from the rest of five (5) RFI responses was analyzed with the outcomes of type of implementation
(COTS, MODS, and Custom-built solution), estimated time and cost to complete the project.

California Air Resources Board 3900 071 CAQM
The original feasibility alternatives considered included: a) developing a vendor based custom-built
solution, b) an in-house based solution, and c) a commercial and/or modifiable off-the-shelf solution.
The selected alternative to address the business problem was a custom solution developed by a vendor
allowing CARB to combine the functionality of two currently disparate systems while retaining their
current functionality. In-house developed solution requires additional staffing and training; witch would
put the development timeframe outside acceptable limits. The MOTS solution would have been less
cost effective since no current commercial solution exists to handle the unique needs of a statewide
emission inventory system, and developing the needed functionality while omitting extraneous
functionality would take more time and effort than the custom solution.
CARB’s additional alternative analysis consideration was based on the lesson-learned experiences. The
original project efforts were unsuccessful as the allocated time and budgetary monies were insufficient
for the project given its complexity. The project vendor also underestimated by the required
development effort. Due to the shorter project timeframe, scope and quality were impacted as the
actual duration and effort was greater than estimated by the vendor. The originally selected alternative
was sound and the primary change to the project was the provision of additional project staffing
resources, and time for development and implementation.
Based on lesson learned, CARB plans to utilize a modified waterfall approach that incorporates an
incremental, iterative approach. This will mitigate project risks related to vendor under-estimate and
vendor incapability and provide the CARB the benefits of having some components delivered into
production earlier.
CARB determined that the time and cost required to implement the selected alternative was the only
change required.
The project will contract on a deliverables basis. The completion of deliverables will provide for a more
structured process to facilitate their review and acceptance. The Contract Manager and Program staff
will work together to collect and analyze metrics which are used to monitor the deliverable process
effectiveness and prime contractor performance. In addition, the CARB has provided separate
independent project managers and business analysts focusing on projects deliverables.
Implementation Plan
The proposed aspects of implementation described in various PAL Stages (Stage 2, 3 and 4) are being
updated to address lessons learned and incorporate findings from RFI response assessment.
The following are Implementation lessons learned for the CAQM project:
a. It is important to ensure that Requests for Offer (RFO) documentation includes all relevant
information to ensure vendors provide appropriate responses for evaluation.
b. The following should be a priority for vendors evaluation and selection:
Contracts should be deliverable-based.
Contracts should include: o Comprehensive questions that probe the vendor’s experience with similar project
implementations, and their understanding of the project scope o Deliverable expectation documents to obtain agreement on the content of deliverables.

o Identification of minimum experience qualifications o Vendor requirements management o The requirement to develop and implement a Quality Management and Software Testing
Plan c. The following should be applied to the overall application planning and implementation:
Application should be planned using modified waterfall approach that incorporates an incremental, iterative approach
Development and communication of comprehensive User Interface, system architecture, software, and database design standards documentation
Documentation of non-function requirements for software design best practices
Inclusion of compliance requirements with CARB technical standards
2 Updated Project Management Plan Project Management Plans that have been prepared during various stages of PAL for the CAQM project
are being updated to address lessons learned and incorporate findings from RFI response assessment.
2.1 Project Manager Qualifications The CAQM project is managed by a contract Project Manager (PM). The role of the PM is to establish
and implement the necessary project management processes, maintain the overall project
documentation and project reporting. The PM for the CAQM project is Andrey Zagaynov. Andrey
Zagaynov is within the Project Management Office of CARB’s OIS. He is certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP) by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
2.2 Project Management Methodology CARB follows the California Project Management Framework (CA-PMF). CARB also uses the Project
Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) from PMI, and the recommended project management and
risk management practices of the CDT Information Technology Project Oversight Framework, SIMM
section 45, as guiding documents for project management best practices. CARB is using Waterfall
Methodology to develop the application.

2.4 Project Priorities Project priorities specified in Table 1 remain the same for this SPR. Project stakeholders for the CAQM
Project agreed on the relative importance of each of these three factors before the beginning of the
project, as future project management decisions will be guided by these priorities.
Project trade-off matrix is given below that shows the relative importance of each factor using a priority
of 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest) for each of these factors.
Table 1: Project trade-off matrix
Schedule Scope Resources Quality
3 1 4 2
Scope: The scope is the highest as it is driven by AB 617 assembly bill for providing access to community-
level air quality data.
Quality: The quality is deemed the second as the public will depend on the integrity of the information
provided to understand their air quality health exposure.
Schedule: The schedule is next importance since CARB is already receiving community data.
2.5 Project Plan 2.5.1 Project Scope Project scope as documented in PAL Stage 3 and remains the same.
2.5.2 Project Assumptions Project assumptions listed in section 2.7 of PAL Stage 2 except remain the same except the one listed
below:
Constraint: Hard deadline to procure Vendor services before April 30, 2021 due to funding
restrictions.
At this point CARB developed an interim solution to collect and manually process air quality data
submitted by data providers. That process temporary satisfies AB 617 legislative mandate; however, it is
mostly manual and is not sustainable as number of data providers and amount of data is growing.
2.5.3 Project Phasing Project phases documented in section 2.11.5 of PAL Stage 2 remain the same, except the estimated time
for completion phases:
Phase 1 is estimated to take approximately 6 months. Phase 1 will review and reuse the project
artifacts that are already completed.
Phase 2 is estimated to take approximately 12 months.
