The Fleet Services team routinely strategizes to implement <br />green measures that advance the California Clean Air Act mobile source emission <br />reduction goals. <br />Adopted in 1990, California Assembly Bill 2766 (AB 2766) allows motor vehicle <br />subvention fund recipients to replace conventionally fueled vehicles with lower emission <br />and zero emission vehicles. To further reduce the City’s carbon footprint, greenhouse <br />gas emissions, and overall operational maintenance cost, the Fleet Services Division is <br />requesting to purchase a Rizon e18L EV Truck (Exhibits 1 & 2). <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-3041 authorizes the City to purchase against <br />contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The State of <br />California Department of General Services, Procurement Division, awarded a contract <br />to Los Angeles Truck Centers (Contract No. 1-23-23-22A) (Exhibit 3), as a result of <br />open, competitive bidding on behalf of its own agency.
