  • Information Packet.Pdf
    Resilient Connecticut Phase II Potential Regional Adaptation/Resilience Opportunity Areas Information Packet for WestCOG and Chief Elected Officials Thank you for following progress of Phase II of the Resilient Connecticut planning process. We have enjoyed presenting Resilient Connecticut to you at the monthly WestCOG meetings of fall 2020 and winter 2021. Now that spring has arrived, we are pleased to present another project milestone. • The information sheets following this page include the following: ✓ The “Terms to Understand” page provides a list of terms and their meanings on the left side, and a list of project resources with hyperlinks on the right side. ✓ Each potential regional adaptation/resilience opportunity area identified in the WestCOG region is described on an individual page. Regional adaptation/resilience opportunity areas are the geographic locations that our team has identified based on overlays of flood vulnerability, heat vulnerability, social vulnerability, zones of shared risk, and regional assets and infrastructure. • Here are some helpful hints when reviewing information sheets: ✓ The numbers associated with the flood, heat, and social vulnerabilities are relative scores between zero and one. This means that a score of “0.9”in one opportunity area demonstrates higher vulnerability than a score of “0.5” in a nearby opportunity area. ✓ The ID numbers for the zones of shared risk include a four-digit watershed identification number developed by the State. For example, “7300” is the Norwalk River watershed. ✓ The “areas of planned development” have been gathered from community plans, but the names that we selected for these information sheets are a work in progress. We plan to revise these as needed.

Purpose This document summarizes information regarding Personal Service Agreements for State fiscal year 2017. B. Background A Personal Service Agreement (PSA) is a duly executed and legally binding contract that defines the services or end products to be delivered by a Personal Service Contractor to a State agency. It is one of the primary mechanisms used by the State for procurement purposes. Typically, a PSA is used to purchase infrequent and non-routine services or end products, such as consulting services, technical assistance, and training. By law, no State agency may hire a Contractor to deliver such services or end products without first executing a PSA. C.G.S. § 4–212 defines who is included and who is not included in the term “Personal Service Contractor.” Included is “any person, firm or corporation not employed by the State, who is hired by a State agency for a fee to provide services to the agency.” Not included in the term “Personal Service Contractor” are the following: (a) a person, firm or corporation providing contractual services to the State, as defined in C.G.S.
