COMMITTEE ITEM |

| 1 |
Execute Contract for Development and Demonstration of
Medium Speed Electric Vehicles
For many residents within the South Coast Air Basin, commutes and
short trips can be accomplished solely on residential streets at speeds
below 35 mph. This proposed project is to develop and demonstrate a
Medium Speed Electric Vehicle (MSEV) program in the South Bay. The
program will market MSEVs, also called Neighborhood Electric Vehicles,
to residents, select businesses, municipalities and government entities;
establish a driver’s kit with MSEV routes; secure discounts and
incentives from dealers and manufacturers; hold a test drive event; and
demonstrate loan vehicles for up to 12 months. This action is to
execute a contract with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG)
to establish the MSEV program in an amount not to exceed $179,000 from
the Clean Fuels Fund. |

Vehicle Regulation
On May 2, 2008, proposals were received in response to the Program
Announcement #PA2008-06 that was issued for the “Year Ten” Carl Moyer
Air Quality Standards Attainment Program. This action is to execute
Carl Moyer Program contracts in an amount not to exceed $22,454,439.
This action is also to execute contracts under the Surplus Off-Road
Opt-In for NOx (SOON) provision of the state in-use off-road vehicle

Approve Amendment of Proposition 1B
Early Grant Award
In May 2008, the Board recognized $13.8 million from CARB under the
Proposition 1B "Early Grant" Goods Movement Program and approved awards
for replacement of 260 pre-2003 heavy-duty diesel trucks with 2007 or
newer diesel and LNG trucks. KKW Trucking declined an award of $250,000
to replace five trucks, so this action is to re-allocate these funds to
two other Proposition 1B Early Grant award recipients. BCI Coca-Cola
Bottling Co. will replace three trucks at a cost of $150,000, and
Dependable Highway Express will replace two trucks at a cost of
$100,000. The five trucks belonging to the above recommended entities
were selected from the existing competitively ranked list in accordance
with the Proposition 1B guidelines and CARB's concurrence. |

Recognize Revenue and Appropriate
Funds from Department of Energy and Execute Contract to Develop and
Demonstrate Medium Duty Plug-In Hybrid Electric Delivery Vehicle
The AQMD anticipates an award of congressionally directed funds from
the Department of Energy (DOE) to advance the current state of plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology. The proposed project will
leverage several ongoing activities and projects to accelerate the
commercialization of PHEVs in medium-duty applications. This action is
to recognize revenue from the DOE, and upon receipt of the award
appropriate funds to the FY 2008-09 budget, transfer funds from the
Clean Fuels fund and execute a contract with the Electric Power Research
Institute to develop and demonstrate a medium duty PHEV in a delivery
van application in an amount not to exceed $1,009,320. |

Clean Fuels Program Plan Update
At its March 2, 2007 meeting, the Board requested that staff bring the
Clean Fuels Program Plan Update before the Board as a separate item to
solicit more direct input. This action is to receive and file the
calendar year 2009 Clean Fuels Program Draft Plan Update with major
emphasis on electric and hybrid vehicles, including plug-in hybrids,
clean engine technology deployments and emissions control retrofits,
such as selective catalytic reduction technologies. |
