Budget/Fiscal Impact

2. Recognize and Appropriate Funds from U.S. EPA and Caltrans, and Execute Contracts to Develop and Demonstrate Three Exhaust After-Treatment Systems for Locomotive Engines
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

Emissions from locomotives and train operations are expected to remain considerable in the South Coast Air Basin because of the anticipated economic growth in the region, especially at the ports of San Pedro Bay. In 1997, the U.S. EPA adopted emission standards for locomotives which do not require exhaust after-treatment such as catalysts or particulate filters. However, advancements in emission control show that such technologies are feasible for locomotives and would help to attain ambient standards in the basin. This action is to: 1) recognize revenue upon receipt of the award and appropriate funds to the FY 2006-07 Budget of $200,000 and $380,000 from U.S. EPA and Caltrans, respectively; and 2) execute contracts for three projects which involve exhaust after-treatment on three different types of locomotive engines. The total funding cost for these three projects is not to exceed $726,591. Co-funding of $580,000 from U.S. EPA and Caltrans is available with the remaining funds from the Rule 1309.1 Priority Reserve. (Review: Technology Committee, July 28, 2006)

3. Recognize Funds from CARB and Execute Contracts to Re-power Construction Equipment Under Carl Moyer Multi-District Program, and Execute Contracts with Interest Funds from Carl Moyer Program Fund
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

In June 2005, CARB allocated $1,623,926 to the AQMD for construction equipment re-powering projects under the Carl Moyer Multi-District Program. This action is to recognize $1,623,926 from CARB under this program, and to execute contracts with Peed Equipment and Sukut Equipment in the amounts not to exceed $860,000 and $763,926 respectively, from the Carl Moyer Program Fund Account SB 1107. This action is also to execute contracts from the back-up list of unfunded projects, originally approved by the Board on July 7, 2006, with any interest funds available from the Carl Moyer Program Fund. (Review: Technology Committee, July 28, 2006)

4. Extend Term of Current Interagency Agreement with State of California Department of General Services to Purchase Natural Gas for Operation of Microturbines at AQMD Headquarters
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

At its July 2002 meeting, the Board authorized the Chairman to execute an Interagency Agreement with the State of California Department of General Services (DGS) to purchase natural gas for the operation of microturbines at AQMD Headquarters for a one year period with the option to renew annually for four additional years. Since then DGS has provided AQMD with competitively priced natural gas service and is now offering AQMD the option to renew for a five year contract. This action is to continue to utilize the State of California DGS Natural Gas Services Program to provide this natural gas service. The estimated annual gas cost is $88,000, but should result in an overall net electricity and gas cost savings of more than $42,000 per year, based on current energy costs. (Review: Technology Committee, July 28, 2006)

5. Issue RFP for Demonstration of Refinery Fenceline Monitoring
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

On April 7, 2006, the Board allocated $350,000 and directed staff to prepare an RFP for a demonstration of fenceline monitoring of refineries to be funded with Rule 1173 mitigation fees. In addition, the Board set aside $150,000 under the BP/ARCO Settlement Funds to develop remote sensing at stationary sources. The pilot program will involve design, installation, and operation of fenceline monitoring at a refinery. The project will demonstrate the feasibility of using fenceline monitoring and remote sensing to alert local schools of high air pollution levels. This action is to issue an RFP in the amount not to exceed $500,000 for the fenceline monitoring with $350,000 of Rule 1173 Mitigation Funds and $150,000 under the BP/ARCO Settlement Funds. (Review: Technology Committee, July 28, 2006)

6. Issue RFP for New Natural Gas Fueling Station Infrastructure at School Districts/Joint Power Authorities and Execute Sole Source Contract Award to Offset CNG Infrastructure Costs
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

The AQMD has funded the replacement of older diesel buses with new lower-emitting diesel or CNG buses through the Lower-Emission School Bus Program. Although funding of up to 10 percent of the award amount for each new CNG bus was made available for CNG fueling infrastructure, additional funds are needed to help school districts expand their clean fuel bus fleets. This action is to: 1) issue an RFP to assist school districts in establishing additional natural gas fueling infrastructure at a total cost not to exceed $2,000,000 from the Clean Fuels, Rule 1309.1 and AES Settlement Funds; and 2) award Downey Unified School District $108,000 to offset CNG infrastructure costs. Previous funding commitments where funds are no longer needed will be used to augment this solicitation. (Review: Technology Committee, July 28, 2006)
