FEBRUARY BOARD AGENDA ITEMS FOR
ACTION/DISCUSSION |
|
| 1 |
Execute Contract for Demonstration
of Medium Speed Electric Vehicles
For many residents within the South Coast Air Basin, commutes and
short trips can be accomplished solely on residential streets at speeds
below 35 mph. This proposed project is to demonstrate a Medium Speed
Electric Vehicle (MSEV) program in the South Bay. The program will
promote MSEVs, also called Neighborhood Electric Vehicles, to residents,
select businesses, municipalities and government entities and establish
a website with driver’s information. This demonstration project is for
a period of up to 18 months. This action is to execute a contract with
the South Bay Cities Council of Governments to establish and implement
the MSEV program in an amount not to exceed $178,825 from the Clean
Fuels Fund. |

Execute Contract to Conduct
Research Study and Demonstrate Feasibility of Control Technologies to
Reduce PM2.5 and Ultrafine Emissions from Natural Gas-fired Power Plants
On May 2, 2008, the Board awarded a contract with Fossil Energy
Research Corporation (FERCO) to identify and demonstrate the most
advanced control technologies to reduce PM2.5 emissions while not
increasing ultrafine emissions from natural gas-fired power plants in an
amount not to exceed $3,493,800 from the Rule 1309.1 Priority Reserve
Mitigation Fees Fund. Prior to contract execution, one of FERCO’s
primary subcontractors withdrew from the project so AQMD requested a
revised proposal for the same scope and cost. After review by staff and
the original RFP technical review panel, this action is to execute a
contract with FERCO in an amount not to exceed $3,493,800 based on the
revised proposal. |

Adopt Resolution Accepting Terms
and Conditions for FY 2008-09 Carl Moyer Program Award, Issue Carl Moyer
Program Announcement for FY 2008-09 and Amend Award under Carl Moyer
Program
These actions are to adopt a resolution recognizing $34,387,858 in
Carl Moyer Program grant awards from CARB under SB 1107 with its terms
and conditions for FY 2008-09 and to approve the release of a Program
Announcement to provide incentive funding for low-emission on- and
off-road vehicles and equipment for the FY 2008-09 “Year 11” Carl Moyer
Program. Total available funds for the program announcement will be
approximately $15 million from the Carl Moyer Program Fund SB 1107 and
AB 923 accounts. The final action is to amend an award under the Carl
Moyer Program. |

Execute Contracts for Surplus
Off-Road Opt-In for NOx Provision of State In-Use Off-Road Vehicle
Regulation
On November 7, 2008, proposals were received in response to the
Program Announcement that was issued for the Surplus Off-Road Opt-In for
NOx (SOON) provision of the state in-use off-road vehicle regulation.
This action is to execute contracts under the SOON Provision with funds
from the Carl Moyer Program Fund. |

Execute Contract to Demonstrate
Natural Gas-Powered Police Vehicles
There is an interest in the use of natural gas-powered vehicles in
daily law enforcement activities. Such vehicles have been placed into
police service. However, past generations of natural gas vehicles were
not used as pursuit vehicles given their performance under such
conditions. This action is to execute a contract with AFV Fleet Service
to implement a natural gas-powered police interceptor demonstration
program with the Cities of Redlands and South Pasadena. The total cost
for this project is estimated to be at a cost not to exceed $85,000 from
the Clean Fuels Fund. |
