BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The recommended Agreement with CDFA, DMS will reimburse AWM for performing inspection services related to the Fuels, Lubricants and Automotive Products Program for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The Agreement provides reimbursement of $75 per completed inspection for 384 inspections, for a maximum reimbursement amount of $28,800.
The Board of Supervisors (Board) first approved the initial revenue agreement with CDFA, DMS in 1988 to provide inspection services at locations throughout the county and a revenue agreement has since been renewed on a continual annual basis.
Approval of the Agreement will allow AWM to continue to perform inspections at retail fueling stations to determine compliance with appropriate provisions of the California Business and Professions Code and California Code of Regulations relating to the advertising and labeling of fuels, lubricants and automotive products on behalf of the State. CDFA, DMS determined that these inspections should be performed by counties because of the widespread distribution of establishments offering fuels, lubricants and automotive products and services.
On June 3, 2026 AWM received the Agreement in the amount of $28,800 for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This item is being presented to the Board at this time as this is the first date available for presentation following the required operational, fiscal and legal reviews.
