Budget/Fiscal Impact

3. Execute Contract to Cosponsor Development and Evaluation of Multiple Vehicle Type Expansion of Shared Electric Vehicle System
Liu (909) 396-2105
cliu@aqmd.gov

Recent research has shown that in order to maximize the overall effectiveness of shared vehicle systems, multiple vehicle types should be used to capture the widest range of possible travel demand. This project will expand the UCR Intellishare system beyond its current vehicle fleet of 15 homogenous electric vehicles to integrate additional vehicles and vehicle types. This adds complexity, but will be necessary to effectively manage large commercial vehicle allocation systems. Valuable operational data is collected daily on system operation, users, and vehicles. The total cost for this project is $522,094, with AQMD's contribution not to exceed $95,336 from the Clean Fuels Fund. (Review: Technology Committee, October 25, 2002)

5. Execute Contracts for Purchase of Equipment to Establish Air Monitoring Station in Mira Loma
Liu (909) 396-2105
cliu@aqmd.gov

Recent studies have shown the Mira Loma area of Riverside County to have among the highest particulate matter levels in the SCAQMD. Ambient air monitoring currently conducted in Mira Loma under the CARB Children's Health Study is scheduled to expire at the end of December 2004. There has been a desire by staff and the community to establish a permanent air monitoring station to continue to monitor air quality trends in the Mira Loma area. This action is to execute sole-source contracts with various vendors for the purchase of ambient air monitoring equipment necessary to establish the permanent site, at a cost not to exceed $120,000. Staff is requesting that $35,100 of the $120,000 be transferred from the FY 2002-03 Capital Outlays Major Object to the Services and Supplies Major Object. These transferred funds will be used to provide services for, and implement, the new station. Funds for these purchases are available in the FY 2002-03 Budget. (Review: Administrative Committee, November 8, 2002)

6. Issue RFP for Demonstration of Technologies to Reduce PM Emissions From Airport Ground Support Equipment in South Coast Air Basin
Liu (909) 396-2105
cliu@aqmd.gov

As air travel demands increase, the use of ground support equipment (GSE) to support airport operations has steadily grown and contributed to relatively uncontrolled airport emissions. This action to release an RFP is in response to the need to demonstrate control technologies on GSE to reduce particulate matter emissions. On June 4, 2002, CARB provided $500,000 to the AQMD from the NOx and PM Emission Reduction Credit Program for the purpose of funding ground support equipment emission reduction projects at airports located in the South Coast Basin. The Air Transport Association (ATA) is expected to provide a $500,000 match funding. Of that amount, ATA may use up to 15 percent for its oversight. Total funding available for this RFP may amount up to $1,000,000. (Review: Technology Committee, November 22, 2002)

7. Approve Issuance of Program Announcement & Application to Solicit Projects Under CARB Emission Reduction Credit Bank
Liu (909) 396-2105
cliu@aqmd.gov

On March 8, 2001, CARB was directed by Executive Order of Governor Gray Davis to establish an emission reduction credit (ERC) bank. Subsequently, CARB and the AQMD entered into an agreement to implement this program for powerplant peaking units located in the South Coast Basin. In July 2001, the AQMD issued two letters of transactions to Wildflower Energy and Alliance Colton, LLC for credit usage in offsetting NOx and PM10 emissions. In exchange for these emission reduction credits AQMD collected a total of $675,550 from Wildflower Energy LP and Alliance Colton, LLC. Staff recommends issuance of a Program Announcement and Application to fund emission reduction programs near these facilities and/or within Inland counties with the collected funds. (Review: Technology Committee, October 25, 2002)
