| 1 |
Execute and Amend Contracts for Technical Assistance
for Advanced, Low- and Zero-Emission Mobile and Stationary Source
Pollution Control Technologies Under the Clean Fuels Program and Carl
Moyer Program, and Amend Contract to Conduct Additional Analysis Under
MATES-III
On May 5, 2006, the Board approved release of an RFP to solicit
proposals to provide technical assistance and public outreach support
for advanced, low- and zero-emission mobile and stationary source
pollution control technologies. Eleven proposals were received and
reviewed. This action is to execute six and amend two contracts with
technical experts to provide consultation services at a total cost not
to exceed $320,000 from the Clean Fuels Program. Further, this action
is to execute three contracts and amend one with technical experts to
provide consultation services at a total cost not to exceed $260,000
from the Carl Moyer Fund. The final request is to amend a contract with
Desert Research Institute to conduct additional particulate matter
analyses under MATES-III in an amount not to exceed $200,000. |

Execute Contracts for FY 2005-06 Carl Moyer Memorial
Air Quality Standards Attainment Program, Modify a Previous Award, and
Re-issue Program Announcement for the Agricultural Assistance Part of
the Carl Moyer Program
On May 5, 2006, proposals were received in response to the RFP that was
issued for the FY 2005-06 Carl Moyer Air Quality Standards Attainment
Program. This action is to execute new contracts under the Carl Moyer
Program with up to $30,516,025 in funding, comprised of up to
$21,866,109 from the Carl Moyer Program Fund SB1107 Account, up to
$4,841,853 from the Carl Moyer Program Fund AB923 Account, and
$3,808,063 interest monies available in this fund. This action is also
to modify a previous award, and to re-issue the agricultural assistance
portion of the last Carl Moyer Program Announcement.
(This item will also be reviewed at the September 22, 2006 Mobile
Source meeting.) |

Adopt Policies and Procedures for Administration of
Carl Moyer Program and Adopt Policy for Clean Air Incentive Contracts
This action is to adopt Policies and Procedures for the day-to-day
administration of the Carl Moyer Program at the AQMD. All air districts
participating in the Carl Moyer Program are required to adopt Policies
and Procedures and provide that document to the California Air Resources
Board no later than November 15, 2006. This action is also to adopt
policy for Clean Air Incentive Contracts. |

Approve Grants to Purchase New CNG School Buses and
Retrofit School Buses with Particulate Traps
At its May 5, 2006 meeting, the Board authorized issuance of Program
Announcement PA# 2006-09 to replace pre-1987 school buses with new
alternative fuel school buses and to retrofit diesel school buses with
CARB-verified particulate traps. The closing date of the application
was July 7, 2006. This action is to replace 133 pre-1987 school buses
with new CNG buses in an amount not to exceed $19,382,132 from the Carl
Moyer Program Fund AB923 Account, and to retrofit 452 diesel school
buses with particulate traps in an amount not to exceed $5,469,960 from
the Lower-Emission School Bus Fund.
(This item will also be reviewed at the September 22, 2006 Mobile
Source meeting.) |

Issue RFP to Develop and Demonstrate Plug-In Hybrid
Electric Vehicles
The limited availability of real-world data for Plug-In Hybrid
Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) is one of the primary obstacles to reducing
costs and accelerating widespread deployment of these vehicles. A fleet
of PHEVs in different locations, with different duty cycles, would
provide valuable information to key stakeholders in the manufacture and
integration of the battery and energy management systems. Further, a
sustained demonstration program could accurately identify the emissions
benefits, fuel savings, and battery capabilities. This action is to
issue a RFP to design, engineer, convert, test, certify, demonstrate,
and maintain up to 30 PHEVs for 60 months at different locations
throughout the South Coast Air Basin. In support of these PHEVs, this
RFP will also investigate adding charging infrastructure sites
throughout the South Coast Air Basin. |

Execute Contract to Demonstrate Fuel Cell Vehicles at
AQMD
The AQMD tests and demonstrates new vehicles with low-emission and
clean-fuel technologies as they become available. Most of the large
automobile manufacturers are increasing the placement of hydrogen-fueled
fuel cell vehicles in demonstration programs to gain valuable
operational feedback and accelerate commercialization of this advanced
zero emission technology. The AQMD is currently demonstrating two
DaimlerChrysler and two Honda fuel cell vehicles in daily routine fleet
operations and frequent outreach events. This action is to execute a
contract with Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., to demonstrate two
hydrogen-fueled Toyota Highlander fuel cell vehicles for one year in an
amount not to exceed $216,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund. |

Execute Contracts and Purchase Equipment for
Installation of Three 60-Kilowatt Microturbines with Heat Recovery at
AQMD Headquarters
AQMD headquarters currently has four 60-kW microturbine generators with
heat recovery. This action will allow the installation of an additional
three 60-kW microturbine generators with heat recovery at AQMD
headquarters using previously authorized AES Settlement funds. The
estimated total project cost of $233,770 will be offset by $144,000 of
incentive money. The additional microturbines should save $18,750 per
year in energy costs |
