If. Project Description: (Narrative)
Contra Costa County's Beard of Supervisors and Generai Services Fleet Division have been progressive and enthusiastic
in their support of altemative fuel vehicles. The County has over 1,022 vehicles and pieces of equipment which transport
County employees and service County facilities, service areas, and roads throughout the 750 square miles which comprise
the County. Our goal is to reduce the County fleet vehicle emissions by replacing three high mileage (80,000+ mites), gas
powered vehicles between 7 and 16 years old, with three new leased RAV 4 electric vehicles. The new electric vehicles
will be highly visible in their role transporting County staff to functions throughout the County.
The three electric vehicles will be leased for$16,000 each for three years(totaling $54,000). We are requesting $34,000
in TFCA funds, and will contribute $20,000 in County funds through the depreciation and salvage monies from the three
old vehicles.
Prglect Coal
The goal of this project is to introduce electric vehicles into the Contra Costa County Fleet where they will be accessible to
a wide variety of County employees for official use through the County Fleet. The vehicles will be clearly identified as
electric vehicles and used to transport employees between the County Center and satellite locations. This demonstration
will educate County employees on the use and benefits of electric vehicles while reducing emissions along the congested
1-660 and I.4 corridor. it will provide a visible symbol of the County's continuing commitment to alternative energy sources.
The electric vehicles will be closely monitored for customer satisfaction and compared to conventional vehicles for cost
efficiency and emissions reductions. We hope to verify that electric vehicles can reduce emissions while providing a
comparable level of service to conventional vehicles so that we can recommend the integration of electric vehicles into the
fleet.
Name all other Participating agencies and describe the role of each agency:
Implementation schedule: (Start date,completion date, and key milestones)
Start Date(mo/yr), 2/9,98 Completion [late: (motyr) 613}12000
Once funding is approved, the County will follow standard procedures for leasing vehicles. We estimate that it will take n2
iffier than 6 Mgnths to obtain the leased vehicles and place them in service. We plan to evaluate the performance of the
RAV 4's for 3 years.
Milestone fiched,ule: (Report on milestones will be submitted quarterly)
DAte: Milestone DesrdpAi2nss,:
Sep-Dec 1998 1. Receive funding approval and lease three Electric RAV 4's
Jan-May 1999 2. Receive and place Electric RAV 4's into service,.,
Jan -Dec 31, 2001 3. Review operational costs for Electric RAV 4 vehicles and
run cost comparison with conventionally-fueled vehicles
We will evaluate the Electric RAV 4 performance in three main areas:
I. Fuel Economy/Emissions reduction
2. Maintenance Cost(Scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs)
3. Performance/Customer satisfaction
