AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to participate in a cooperative

vouchers.

Airlines for discount airline fares within California, and such
fares are available for County and City business travel. The
discount from Southwest Air represents a 25% savings from the
regular, unrestricted fares of Southwest Airlines. Vouchers are
purchased in advance and assigned to departments as travel is
needed. The General Services Department will purchase airline
vouchers and make them available to County agencies, as they
have need for travel within California.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Use of this cooperative purchasing program can save an estimated
$20,000 per year.
