Our goal is to reduce the County fleet vehicle emissions by replacing three high mileage (80,000+ miles), gas powered vehicles that are between 10 and 12 years old, with three new CNG vans. The new vans will continue to be high mileage vehicles that carry supplies, equipment, tools,and staff to County-wide work locations on a daily basis. The three new CNG dedicated vans will cost a total of$66,000. We are requesting$30,000 in TFCA funds,and the County will contribute$36,000. Project Coal: We hope to verify that CNG vans can reduce emissions while providing the same level of service that we are accustomed to with conventional vehicles. If this demonstration project Is successful, we will consider replacing other vehicles based at the County's Service Center. We will evaluate the CNG vans performance in four main areas: 1. Fuel Economy 2. Maintenance Cost (Scheduled mtc.and emergency repairs) 3. Performance 4. Customer Satisfaction Name all other Participating agencies and describe the role of each agency: Contra Costa Transportation Authority(CCTA)and City of San Ramon Implementation schedule: (Start date,completion data,and key milestones) Start Date (mo/yr)_12/98 Completion Date: (mo/yr)X30 000 Once funding Is approved, the County will follow standard procedures for obtaining bids and the best prices available. We estimate that it will take no longer than 6 months to obtain the new vehicles and place them in service. We plan to evaluate the performance of the vans for 1 year. Milestone Schedule: Date: Milestone Descriptions: September-December, 1998 1. Receive funding approval and order CNG vans. January -May, 1999 2. Receive and place CNG vans In service. June 1999-June 2000 3. Review operational costs for CNG vans and run comparison with conventionally fueled vans.
