NOVEMBER AGENDA ITEMS |

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 an 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 Basin. Staff estimates the total AQMD cost
will not exceed $2.84 million from the Clean Fuels Fund. |

Execute Contract to Develop Hydrogen
Storage Capability for Gas Blending Facility
Hydrogen has garnered much attention as a mobile fuel due to its
potential to deliver near-zero emissions in fuel cell vehicles.
Hydrogen blended with other fuels, such as natural gas, however, has
shown potential promise in mobile and stationary combustion systems.
Utilizing hydrogen blends may provide a near-term opportunity to
displace fossil fuels while reducing emissions. Testing of distributed
generation devices, including microturbines and fuel cells, on different
blends of hydrogen is therefore a focus of the U.S. Department of Energy
and California Energy Commission. Staff recommends funding the Advanced
Power and Energy Program at UC Irvine to develop the hydrogen storage
capability for their gas blending facility at a cost not to exceed
$200,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund. |

Issue Program Announcement to Solicit
Projects for Cleaner Construction Equipment Under the Carl Moyer
Program, Correct Name of Existing Contract, and Allow Acceptance of 2006
and Newer Model Year Vehicle Applications Under the Fleet Modernization
Program
CARB’s Carl Moyer Program guidelines have strict requirements for
expenditure of funds for each year before allocation of new funds for
each subsequent year. This action is to issue a Program Announcement in
an amount not to exceed $12 million from the Clean Fuels Fund and the
Carl Moyer Program returned funds to fund cleaner construction equipment
on a first come first served basis with the requirement that all
equipment be installed by May 31, 2007, and be invoiced no later than
June 30, 2007. This action is also to correct the name of an awarded
contract, and also to allow the purchase of 2006 and newer model year
diesel vehicles rather than 2006 model years only under the Fleet
Modernization Program. |

Execute Contracts and Purchase Equipment
for Installation of Three 60-Kilowatt Microturbines with Heat Exchanger
at AQMD Headquarters
AQMD headquarters currently has four 60-kW microturbine generators
with heat exchanger. This action will allow the installation of an
additional three 60-kW microturbine generators with heat exchanger at
AQMD headquarters using previously authorized AES Settlement funds. The
estimated total project cost of $259,750 will be offset by $144,000 of
incentive money. The additional microturbines should save $18,750 per
year in energy costs. |
