Approved Contract Documents for AQMD’s Heavy-Duty Diesel Drayage Truck
Replacement Program
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved three (3) contract
models for AQMD’s implementation of the Proposition 1B Goods Movement
Emission Reduction Program. This program is also known as the “AQMD
Heavy-Duty Diesel Drayage Truck Replacement Program.”
If your truck replacement project has been approved by AQMD, you will
need to select one of the approved contract models. You will need to
inform the AQMD Project Officer of the applicable contract model for each
truck replacement project approved by AQMD. If you do not know who
your assigned AQMD Project Officer is, you may call
Penny Shaw Cedillo at (909) 396-3179 for assistance.

Below please find a brief description of the three contract models
approved for this program and a link to the boilerplate contract documents.
These documents set forth all of the conditions and obligations that you
must meet under this Program. It is also important to note that the
contract documents below are the final versions approved by CARB. Any
requested changes to these documents will require CARB approval which will
delay the contracting process and may not result in an approval by CARB.
Important Note: Placing a Purchase
Order prior to the execution of contract documents does not guarantee
payment of the grant award and is, therefore, done at the applicant’s risk
of not receiving the grant funds. Also, all liens on the old truck
must be cleared prior to contract execution.
1) Direct Purchase – Applicant will
purchase the new truck(s) with own funds or obtain a loan from a bank to
purchase the new truck(s). The applicant will be the registered owner
of the new truck(s) and is responsible for complying with the operating and
reporting requirements of the Program.

2) Lease-To-Own Programs:
a) LMC model – The Licensed Motor Carrier (LMC) will
purchase the new truck(s) and then enter into a lease agreement with the
truck operator. The LMC will be the registered owner of the new truck.
The LMC will enter into an agreement with the AQMD, accepting overall
responsibility for implementation of the project, including operating and
reporting requirements. The truck operator will serve as the lessee, and
will also be responsible for complying with the operational requirements of
the Proposition 1B Program. The lease must be with the driver of the
old truck, unless the old truck was owned by the LMC. This contract
model includes two documents: an agreement with the LMC as the Lessor, and a
Lease Rider which must be included in the lease agreement between the LMC
and the lessee.

b) Bank model – The bank will purchase the new truck(s)
and serve as the Lessor directly to the lessee. The LMC will enter
into an agreement with the AQMD and will be responsible for administering
the operational and reporting requirements of the Proposition 1B Program.
The bank will be the registered owner of the new truck(s). The 1099
will be issued to the bank. There are two agreements under this model: one
with the bank as the Lessor, and the other agreement with the LMC as the
Administrator. There is also a Lease Rider which must be included in every
lease agreement between the bank and the lessee.

Background
Proposition
1B, the wide-reaching transportation bond voters approved in 2006, included
one billion dollars to fund projects that reduce air pollution associated
with freight movement along California’s trade corridors. The first $25
million of that funding was allocated by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) in February 2008 to “jump start” the program and fund projects that
are ready for quick implementation. The AQMD received $13.8 million of the
“early grant” funds and used these funds to implement a successful truck
replacement program in the region. A total of 263 heavy-duty diesel trucks
were replaced under the early grant reducing emissions by 10.5 and 209 tons
per year of PM and NOx, respectively. Concurrent reductions in greenhouse
gas emissions were also achieved by at least 50% of the projects which
involved replacing a diesel truck with an LNG-fueled truck.

- On November 4 and December 5, 2011, AQMD’s Governing Board approved
the expenditure of “Year 2” Proposition 1B – Goods Movement Emission
Reduction Program funds for eligible heavy-duty diesel truck projects.
The Board letter specifies that the list of eligible projects is
contingent upon CARB’s approval of a final rank list. Below is the final
rank list approved by CARB for Grant No. G08GMLT1:

In accordance with the program requirements, AQMD will fund projects in
the order of CARB’s final approved rank list until all program funds are
exhausted.
On May 22, 2008, the CARB Board approved the allocation of approximately
$24 million to the AQMD from the remaining $225 million budgeted for FY
2007-2008. Additionally, the CARB Board allocated $98 million to the
Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In total, the South Coast region
received 55% of the FY 2007-08 funds. Over the four year period, the South Coast region will receive 55% of the total $1 billion in
Prop 1B funding.
