Below is a list of proposed IT Projects that are currently in the PAL review and approval process with the California Department of Technology (CDT). For purposes of this list “PAL Stage” refers to the last document officially submitted to CDT.
Projects are removed from this list when they exit the PAL process because: 1) the Agency/state entity receives CDT’s approval to begin project implementation; 2) CDT approves a Project Delegation Request; 3) the Agency/state entity withdraws the project; or 4) the CDT denies the project approval.
The existing Microsoft Access database vital to the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) is obsolete and routinely experiences numerous data loss and failure events. Complete failure of the database is inevitable and will result in cessation of ELAP operations and prevent ELAP from performing its essential function to accredit laboratories. Such a failure will affect statewide regulators relying on laboratory data to make decisions to protect public health and the environment. This initiative will fund the planning to replace the failing database and ensure security of California regulatory agency data through the protection and improvement of ELAP’s accreditation program database. A new database and staff to support its development, implementation, and operations are needed to avert the danger attached to the imminent failure of the existing database.
