JUNE BOARD AGENDA ITEMS |

| 1 |
Approve Grants to Replace Pre-1977 School Buses with
New CNG Buses
The state has allocated $2.1 million to AQMD under the State FY
2005-06 Budget Act of 2005 to replace 15 of the oldest pre-1977 school
buses operating in the South Coast Air Basin. Five public school
districts with 15 of the oldest pre-1977 diesel buses have been
identified. This action is to replace these 15 buses with new CNG buses
and to cover the cost of the associated infrastructure in an amount not
to exceed $2,957,750, comprised of $2,100,000 from the Lower-Emission
School Bus Fund, $322,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund, and $535,750 from
the Carl Moyer Program Fund AB 923 Account. |

Approve Grant to Install Diesel Particulate Filter on
Diesel Backup Generator
Omnitrans proposes to install a diesel backup generator at their San
Bernardino facility. The backup generator meets the requirements of
Rule 1470. However, given the proximity of the facility to a school
campus located across the street from the facility, staff believes that
the backup generator should be equipped with a diesel particulate
filter. This action is to provide up to $12,500 from the Rule 1309.1
Priority Reserve Fund to cover the cost of installing a diesel
particulate filter on this new backup generator. |

Execute Contract to Expand Reformer System and
Upgrade Refueling Station in Coachella Valley
On September 13, 2002, the Board awarded a contract with SunLine
Services Group to install and demonstrate a natural gas reformer
hydrogen refueling station. This station has successfully demonstrated
the viability of on-site hydrogen production and has fueled numerous
vehicles, including two fuel cell buses, a hydrogen internal combustion
engine, HCNG buses, as well as numerous light-duty fuel cell vehicles.
The original contract has expired, whereas demand for hydrogen fuel has
increased. This action is to co-fund the upgrade of the existing
infrastructure to commercial standards in an amount not to exceed
$640,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund, with a total project cost of
$1,200,000. |
