Issue RFP for Rule 2202 Air Quality Investment Program and Issue Program
Announcements for Low Emission Leaf Blower Vendors
One of the
compliance strategies under Rule 2202 allows employers to invest in the
AQIP. Monies received are placed in a restricted account to fund
programs that result in equivalent emission reductions that would
otherwise have been achieved by the participating employers. This
action is to release a new RFP to solicit proposals to achieve emission
reduction targets. To follow up on the successful Leaf Blower Exchange
Programs, staff proposes to offer similar incentive in the summer of
2008 to generate cost-effective emission reductions. This action is to
issue a program announcement to solicit competitive bids from
manufacturers of low-emission leaf blowers in sufficient quantities and
at the lowest possible price.
