Contract No. ML11029 B. CONTRACTOR has the opportunity to generate MSERCs as a by-product of the project if a portion of the air quality benefits attributable to the project resulted from other funding sources. These MSERCs, which are issued by AQMD, are based upon the quantified vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by project vehicles or other activity data as appropriate. Therefore, a portion of prospective MSERCs, generated as a result of AB 2766 Funds, must be retired. The portion of prospective credits funded by the AB 2766 program, and which are subject to retirement, shall be referred to as "AB 2766-MSERCs." C. The determination of AB 2766-MSERC's is to be prorated based upon the AB 2766 program's contribution to the cost associated with the air quality benefits. In the case where AB 2766 Discretionary Funds are used to pay for the full differential cost of a new alternative fuel vehicle or for the retrofitting or repowering of an existing vehicle, all MSERCs attributable to AB 2766 Discretionary Funds must be retired. The determination of AB 2766-MSERCs for infrastructure and other ancillary items is to be prorated based upon the AB 2766 program's contribution to the associated air quality benefits. Determination of the project's overall cost will be on a case-by-case basis at the time an MSERC application is submitted. AQMD staff, at the time an MSERC application is submitted, will calculate total MSERCs and retire the AB 2766-MSERCs. CONTRACTOR would then receive the balance of the MSERCs not associated with AB 2766 funding. 13. DISPLAY OF MSRC LOGO - CONTRACTOR agrees to permanently display one MSRC decal in a prominent location on each vehicle purchased pursuant to this Contract. CONTRACTOR also agrees to permanently display one MSRC decal in a prominent location on each fueling or charging station constructed or upgraded pursuant to this Contract. Decals will be provided by MSRC upon notification that subject fueling station equipment and/or vehicles are placed into service. Decals are approximately twelve (12) inches in height and eighteen (18) inches in width (Note: a smaller decal may be provided if CONTRACTOR demonstrates that application of the standard decal is not feasible). CONTRACTOR shall maintain decal for life of vehicle or equipment subject to this Contract. Should any decal become damaged, faded, or otherwise unreadable, CONTRACTOR shall request replacement decal from MSRC and apply new decal in the same or other prominent location. MSRC shall not be responsible for damage to paint or other vehicle surfaces arising from application or removal of decals. In addition, all promotional materials related to the project, including, but not limited to, press kits, brochures and signs shall include the MSRC logo. Press releases shall acknowledge MSRC financial support for the project. 14. REFUELING STATION OPERATIONAL AVAILABILITY - CONTRACTOR is obligated to comply with the alternative-fuel refueling infrastructure Operational Availability requirements set forth as follows: A. CONTRACTOR commits to ensuring fast-fill refueling stations remain operational and accessible to public and/or fleets for a period of no less than five (5) years from the date the station begins dispensing fuel in either its initial or expanded capacity. Should CONTRACTOR desire to deviate from this obligation, for reasons other than those stated in Clause 8.B, above, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse AQMD for a prorated share of the funds provided for fueling facilities as indicated in the table below: 5 year Operational Availability Obligation Termination Occurs Percentage of MSRC Funds to be Reimbursed Within Year 1 100% Between Years 1-2 80% Between Years 2-3 60% Between Years 3-4 40% Between Years 4-5 20% After Year 5 0% 55A-26
