Execute Sole Source Contract and
Issue RFP to Implement Education/Training Element of Chairman’s Helping
Hand Initiative
In February 2009, the Board approved the Chairman’s Helping Hand
Initiative which includes development of an educational/training for new
technology installation and maintenance. To implement the education
element, staff has been in discussions with Advanced Transportation
Technology & Energy (ATTE) Network of California Community Colleges to
develop a scope of work for enhanced training programs. This action is
to execute a sole source contract with ATTE in an amount not to exceed
$500,000 to develop curriculum to be offered at local community
colleges. A second component is the development of outreach and
education to truck operators on the availability of advanced engine
technologies and improved fuel efficiency. This action is to issue an
RFP for customer service centers at two major truck stops for an amount
not to exceed $150,000. Sufficient funds are available from Clean Fuels
Fund to execute the sole source contract and issue RFP. The overall
effort to implement the education component of the Initiative will not
exceed $1,000,000. |

Execute Contracts to Cosponsor
Demonstration Projects for Renewable Feedstock to Energy and Fuel
Technologies
The use of renewable feedstocks for energy production and
transportation fuel is a necessary transition to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and provide for domestic energy diversity. These conversion
technologies, however, also need to be made as clean as possible, and
the proposed two projects investigate this potential. The first proposed
project is with Orange County Sanitation District for the demonstration
of retrofit gas clean-up and catalytic after-treatment emission control
technology on a biogas engine. This second proposed project is with the
College of Engineering-Center for Environmental Research and Technology,
University of California, Riverside, for a bench scale demonstration
project to produce natural gas from biomass waste using steam
hydro-gasification process. The total for both projects is over $2.6
million with cost-share being requested from the AQMD not to exceed
$301,369 from the Clean Fuels Fund. |
