DISCUSSION
In accordance with Air Quality Management District (AQMD) standards
established in 2000, the Finance and Management Services Agency
implemented a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Program. The program was
initially established for the City's street sweepers and now includes
the City's bookmobile as well as a hybrid vehicle parts truck. In
2001, the City installed a CNG slow fueling facility at the Corporate
Yard. To date, the City has installed four dual-hosed slow fueling
stations to fuel the existing fleet of eight CNG street sweepers,
bookmobile, and truck. The recommended action would add three dual-
hosed slow fueling stations. The additional capacity would enable the
City to replace the three remaining diesel sweepers with CNG sweepers.
Gas Equipment Systems, Inc. installed and is familiar with the critical
aspects of the existing CNG fueling systems. Fleet Maintenance
Division staff recommends approval to ensure the integrity of the
system is maintained. The vendor performed the initial installation
satisfactorily and staff recommends award.
