SUMMARY: The District annually retains RAMLIT Associates for assistance with CVSIM computer model maintenance, quality control and specific modeling requests associated with water supply projects and planning, as shown in Exhibit 4-A. RAMLIT is paid only for tasks authorized by the General Manager on an as-needed basis. The Board will consider renewing RAMLIT’s existing contract to provide for services in fiscal year (FY) 2007-2008 for a not-to-exceed amount of $6,000. The contract with RAMLIT will specify that the $6,000 is to be allocated in the following manner, in accordance with the FY 2007-2008 budget adopted by the Board at its June 18, 2007 meeting:
