Adopt Resolution approving Mobile Source Air Pollution Review Committee Clean Air Transportation Local Government Match Program Grant Award Contract Number ML 12014. 2. Authorize City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with MSRC for the implementation of Clean Air Transportation Local Government Match Program Grant Award Contract Number ML 12014 which will reimburse City an amount not to exceed $384,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. DISCUSSION The City's Finance and Management Services Agency Fleet Division has adopted a Five-Year Alternative Energy Strategic Plan. The objective of the plan is to incorporate alternative sources of energy for its fleet such as electricity and natural gas. The goal of the Strategic Plan is to increase the proportion of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in the City Fleet from 5% in 2011 to 85% in 2016 by gradually retrofitting or replacing fleet equipment. Further, the Strategic Plan proposes to develop alternative energy fueling facilities to support AFVs. The Fleet Division presently operates Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and hydrogen fueling stations in addition to gasoline and diesel pumps. Mobile Source Air Pollution Review Committee (MSRC) has approved the City's application for Clean Air Transportation Local Government Match Program grant funds to implement three alternative energy initiatives which include the purchase of nine AFVs, expansion of the Corporate Yard CNG fueling facility, and installation of seven electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The AFV total cost of $675,000 would be paid for by $270,000 from MSRC grant reimbursements, $250,000 from a separate Caltrans grant reimbursement, and $155,000 from 55B-1 Agreement with MSRC for Grant Award Contract September 16, 2013 Page 2 of 2 the City's AB 2766 Subvention Funds. The total cost of the CNG station expansion and the installation of EV charging stations are $92,000 and $136,000 respectively. Total costs will be paid for by MSRC grant reimbursements and City match dollars on a 50:50 basis. Since the City will be utilizing AB 2766 Subvention Funds to meet all match dollar requirements, the three alternative energy initiatives could potentially be implemented at no cost to the City. Staff recommends approval of subject MSRC Grant Award Contract. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in AQMD Air Quality Program Acct. No. 03110101-66400 and Equipment Replacement Fund Acct.

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.
