CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST fOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Authorization to submit grant application for the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards
Attainment Program.
BACKGROUND
The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program provides financial
incentives to assist in the purchase of low-emission heavy-duty engine technologies to
achieve near-term Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) emission reductions from these sources. The
program was authorized in 1998 and has allocated more than $80 million to air districts,
such as the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), to implement this
program.
The SCAQMD implemented rules requiring that all refuse collection vehicles purchased
after July 1, 2001 and all other heavy duty vehicles purchased after July 1, 2002 be
powered by fuels other than diesel or gasoline. Consideration of the proposed construction
of a Liquified Natural Gas/Liquified to Compressed Natural Gas (LNG/LCNG) Fueling
Station, potentially located within the City Yard of San Bernardino, is underway. The City
has been applying for grant funding to offset the incremental cost of the project.
This grant, if successful, would be used to offset the incremental cost of purchasing and
implementing LNG technology on City refuse collection vehicles, as well as other heavy-
duty vehicles proposed for replacement. These funds will be used to pay for some or all of
the cost difference between a new, heavy-duty diesel engine and a clean fuel. It is currently
estimated that the cost of an LNG-fueled refuse collection truck is approximately $40,000
higher than the identical, diesel-fueled truck.
It is anticipated that seven automated side-loading refuse trucks equipped with LNG fueling
systems would be purchased in September 2003 (FY03-04), for delivery in January 2004.
This delivery schedule is in coordination with the expected operational date of the
alternative fuel station, slated to commence operation in December 2003. An additional
three front-loading refuse trucks and two additional roll-off trucks are slated for replacement
in FY04-05 and would be considered for inclusion under this grant, for a total of twelve
refuse collection trucks. Staff is also recommending the replacement of two of the city's
street sweepers in FY03-04. It is anticipated that this grant may fund up to $560,000 of the
cost difference between diesel trucks and alternative fueled refuse trucks.
The criteria to award this grant is based on several cost factors, including NOx reduction on
a vehicle/equipment-by-vehicle/equipment basis, as well as a project's Environmental
Justice evaluation. Project applications may be offered only partial funding, and not all
proposals that meet minimum cost-effectiveness criteria may be funded.
At the time of submission of the agenda item on February 26, 2002, staff was beginning
preliminary work on the actual application. The date for submission of this grant is 5:00 ~
p.m., on Friday, March 29, 2002 to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. No
resolution is required. A copy of the grant Request for Proposal is included. Staff
anticipates providing a draft of the grant application prior to the Mayor and Common Council
Meeting of March 18, 2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If successful, this grant may fund up to $560,000 of the LNG system cost for the twelve
proposed refuse trucks and two street sweepers.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize submission of grant application for the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards
Attainment Program in an estimated amount of $560,000; actual amount to be determined.
f
Alternative Fuels/Carl Mover Proeram Issues Summary:
? New AQMD rules require that all refuse vehicle purchases be
alternatively fueled vehicles. After July 1, 2002, this same rule will
apply for all heavy-duty vehicle purchases. As a result of these new
', rules, the City's costs for refuse and other heavy-duty vehicles will be
increasing substantially in the coming years.
? In order to meet the new rule requirements, the City has been planning
for the installation of an LNG/LCNG fueling station at the City yards.
LNG appears to be the favored alternative fuel for heavy-duty use; it is
now being used by Stater Brothers, Bumec, and others in the area.
? The Carl Moyer program provides an opportunity to offset some of the
increased costs for the LNG-fueled, heavy-duty vehicles. The program
funds a portion of the cost difference between a diesel fueled and
alternatively fueled heavy-duty truck.
? Under new state law, at least 50% of the Moyer funding must be spent in
areas disproportionately impacted by poverty, particulate matter (PM)
exposure, and cancer risk. The City meets all 3 established criteria,
which strengthens the project application.
? For the class of trucks the City would apply for, projects cannot receive
more than $6,000 per ton of NOx reduced. Based on the emissions
calculations provided by Gladstein and Associates, Moyer funds will be
able to cover approximately 25% of the incremental cost. The City will
be responsible for approximately 75% of the incremental cost.
? The first LNG-fueled trucks would not be purchased until FY 2003-04 in
order to coincide with the opening of the LNG fueling facility.
FY 2001-2002
CARL MOYER MEMORIAL
AIR QUALITY STANDARDS ATTAINMENT PROGRAM
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
AQMD RFP #P2002-22
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) requests proposals for the following
purpose according to terms and conditions attached. In the prepazation of this Request for
Proposals (RFP) the words "Proposer," "Applicant," "Contractor," and "Consultant" are used
interchangeably.
SECTION I -OVERVIEW
PURPOSE
The AQMD is seeking proposals for the FY 2001-2002 Cazl Moyer Memorial Air Quality
Standazds Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program). The purpose of this program is to
provide financial incentives to assist in the purchase oflow-emission heavy-duty engine
technologies to achieve neaz-term NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) emission reductions from these
sources. In addition, the California Air Resources Boazd (GARB) requires the AQMD to show a
25 percent reduction of pazticulate matter (PM) emissions for its overall program. As such,
AQMD will estimate PM emission reductions for individual projects using the same
methodology as is used for a project's NOx reduction calculation.
INTRODUCTION
In 1998, then Governor Wilson and the California State Legislature, through the budget process,
authorized incentive funding for low-emission heavy-duty engines. The program is administered
by GARB and called the Cazl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Cazl
Moyer Program). The program is named after the late Dr. Carl Moyer, in recognition of his
work in the air quality field, and his efforts in bringing about this incentive program.
To date, more than $80 million has been allocated by GARB to air districts throughout the state
to implement this program. This RFP provides an additional $11.5 million for low-emission
vehicle and equipment projects in the South Coast Air Basin.
All proposals must meet minimum requirements as stated in CARB's "The Cazl Moyer Program
Guidelines," as revised on November 16, 2000, and any additional AQMD criteria as stated in
this RFP and its Appendices. Potential applicants should cazefully read the RFP and its
associated Appendices for each applicable category. In the case of any conflict between GARB
guidelines and AQMD criteria, the more stringent criteria will prevail.
~ The GARB guidelines aze available at htto://www.GARB.casov/msproe/mover/anuroved.htm.

GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
The primary focus of the Carl Moyer Program is to achieve emission reductions from heavy-duty
vehicles and equipment operating in California as early and ascost-effectively as possible.
Projects should be designed to ensure that the emission reductions expected through the
deployment of low-emission engines or retrofit technologies under this program aze real, surplus,
and quantifiable. All emission reductions resulting from funded projects will be retired by
the AQMD as part of meeting State Implementation Plan air quality attainment goals. '~biJ
-~ a~gid-,d~u~rt~eo~Rit~ of emission reductiots"p~of+~thi~l~"andlor equipmeszt:may rmt receive,
fundir?g,from any other government grant program that is designed to reduce mobile source .
emissions. Specifically, these programs include:
• All Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) Programs
• All CARB Emission Reduction Credit Programs
• State of California School Bus Programs
• AQMD Rule 2202 Air Quality Investment Program
• AQMD RECLAIM Air Quality Investment Program for NOx
• Emission credit programs encompassed in the AQMD Rule 1600-series and 1309.1
• State Emission Mitigation Program
It is noteworthy that CARB has established, as a matter of policy, that Moyer Program funds
may be used by public and private entities seeking assistance in meeting AQMD Fleet Rules
(referred to as the "1190-series"). However, NOx reductions obtained through this program
must not be required by any other existing regulations (including state or federal), agreements,
etc. In no case will funding exceed $13,000 per ton of NOx reduced, though many categories
have stricter cost-effectiveness requirements. No administrative or vehicle operational costs will
be funded.
To be eligible to participate in this program, new alternative fuel vehicles/engines must be
certified by the California Air Resources Board to one of CARB's optional NOx emission credit
standazds. Alternative fuel engines not certified to CARB's NOx emission credit standards aze
not eligible to participate, even if the engines were certified at similar levels previously, or
exhibit low NOx emissions, but aze not certified at the credit levels. Furthermore, only
alternative fuel vehicle projects will be considered, with the exception of the off-road category,
where diesel-to-diesel projects may also be considered.
It is expected that multiple awazds will be granted under this RFP, subject to the approval of the
AQMD's Governing Boazd. Total funding for this RFP is a maacimum of $11.5 million.
All proposals will be evaluated based on criteria set forth in this RFP and the attached
Appendices. The AQMD will evaluate and/or verify information submitted by the applicant. At
AQMD's discretion, consultants to the AQMD may conduct all or part of such evaluation and/or
verification. Data verification during the evaluation and contracting process may cause initial
cost-effectiveness rankings to change. Furthermore, the AQMD reserves the right to make
adjustments to awazds based on the subsequent verification of information as well as changes in
cost-effectiveness.

Definitions
Alternative Fuel
Alternative fuels include compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol,
ethanol, propane (LPG), and electric technologies. Dual-fuel technologies such as CNG/diesel,
LNG/diesel and electric hybrids are also eligible, as long as they aze CARB-certified to the
optional standazds. Experimental technologies and fuels will be referred to the CARB for
evaluation.
Repower
Vehicle repower refers to replacing an older engine with a newer engine certified to lower
emission standazds. The replacement engine must be certified for sale in California to a NOx
emission standard that is at least 15 percent lower than the original NOx certification level for
the engine being replaced. Diesel-to-diesel repowers will only be considered in the off-road
categories.
For vehicle repower projects, the portion of the cost for a vehicle repower project to be funded
through the Cazl Moyer program is the difference between the total cost of purchasing and
installing the new emission-certified engine and the total cost of rebuilding the existing engine.
Retrofit
Retrofit means making modification to the engine and/or fuel system such that the retrofitted
engine does not have the same specifications as the original engine. The engine retrofit kit must
be certified to reduce NOx emissions by at least 15 percent compared to the original engine
certification level.
PROGRAM CHANGES FOR 2002
Important changes. to the AQMD's 2001-2002 Moyer Program aze listed below:
• Newly adopted legislation (AB 1390 - Firebaugh) revises the Carl Moyer Program to
consider Environmental Justice as a factor in award of Program funds. Specifically,
each air district must spend at least 50 percent of their allotted funds to directly
benefit communities that are disproportionately impacted by air pollution including
low income communities and communities of color or both. The AQMD is allocating
50% of the total $11.5 million for Environmental Justice azeas. See Section IV:
Proposal Evaluation/Contraction Selection Criteria for environmental justice
evaluation criteria.
• For this program cycle, only alternative fuel projects will be cousidered for fuuding,
with the exception of the off-road categories. On-road diesel-to-diesel repowers or
retrofits do not qualify for this program. Projects will be ranked by cost-effectiveness and
environmental justice considerations in Section IV within each funding category, on a
vehicle/equipment-by-vehicle/equipment basis. Alternative fuels include compressed natural
gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, ethanol, propane (LPG), and electric
3
technologies. Dual-fuel technologies such asCNG/diesel, LNG/diesel and electric hybrids
aze also eligible, as long as they aze CARB-certified to the optional standards. Experimental
technologies and fuels will be referred to the CARB for evaluation.
• Applicants must provide vendor quotes with their application to document the incremental
cost of implementing the proposed technology. This will require documentation of both the
baseline and low-emission project costs. Applicants can request funding up to the full
differential cost between a low-emission vehicle/engine/equipment option and its new non-
low emission equivalent; however, less may actually be awazded, depending on the results of
the cost-effectiveness calculation.
• Emission reduction calculations are based on mileage accumulation, activity factor, of a
vehicle during its operational life. Except for stop and go refuse vehicles, where the use of
fuel consumption as the key activity factor is required. It is important to note that CARB has
provided recent clarification of its required calculation methodology when using the fuel
consumption method:
In order to more accurately estimate the emission reductions of a proposed project,
emissions must be calculated for the old engine and the new engine sepazately, then the
new engine emissions aze subtracted from the old engine emissions to obtain the net
improvement. This not only accounts for activity level changes, but also the reduced
energy conversion efficiency of alternative fuel engines. Essentially, it takes more
gaseous alternative fuel to get the same power as diesel fuel. In the case where an
applicant does not have any experience operating the proposed alternative fuel (and
therefore is relying on existing diesel vehicle fleet data for fuel consumption projections
for the new project vehicle), a factor must be applied to the baseline fuel consumption to
get the alternative fuel engine consumption. The factors aze as follows:
LNG: Diesel equivalent LNG gallons =Diesel gallons * 1.68
CNG: Diesel equivalent CNG gallons =Diesel gallons * 1.1
LPG: Diesel equivalent LPG gallons =Diesel gallons * 1.55
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
The Cazl Moyer Program will be administered locally by the AQMD through the Science and
Technology Advancement office.

SECTION II: WORK STATEMENT/SCHEDULE OF DELIVERABLES
All applicants that are selected for funding awards must complete the Work Statement and
Schedule of Deliverables described below as part of the contracting process. Development of
these materials for the initial application is NOT required, however, applicants must sign the
application form indicating their understanding of the requirements for submittal of additional
project information to finalize a contract. This form MUST be included in the application, or
the application will be deemed ineligible and will NOT be considered for funding.
WORK STATEMENT
The scope of work involves a series of tasks and deliverables that demonstrate compliance with
the requirements of the Cazl Moyer Program as administered by CARB and the AQMD. The
responsibility for developing detailed project plans that address the program criteria falls to the
project proponents. In addition, alternative fixel project applicants must discuss their plan for
refueling the proposed vehicles/equipment, and if appropriate, should provide a letter of
agreement from their fuel provider (see Application forms).
At a minimum, any contract for funding must demonstrate that the proposed project will meet the
following criteria:
• Provide emission reductions that aze real, quantifiable, enforceable and surplus in
accordance with CARB and AQMD guidelines.
• Meet the cost-effectiveness limits, as described in Figure 1 of this ItFP.
• Provide at least 30 percent NOx emission reduction for new engine/vehicle purchases
and 15 percent for repowers and retrofits, compared to baseline NOx emissions.
7
• Commit that project engines operate in-service for a minimum of 5 yeazs and at least 75
percent of annual operation must occur within the AQMD.
• Include a program schedule, with project milestones and dates clearly identified.
• Provide for appropriate record-keeping during the life of the funded project.
• Ensure that the project is in accordance with other local, state, and federal programs,
and resulting emission reductions from a specific project aze not required as a
mitigation measure to reduce adverse environmental impacts that aze identified in an
environmental document prepazed in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act or the National Environmental Policy Act.
• If requested, be prepared to provide a financial statement and bank reference, or other
evidence of financial ability to fulfill contract requirements.
• For third parties submitting applications in response to this RFP on behalf of a client, or
partner, please be awaze that the third party must have a signed contract with the vehicle
owner.
DELIVERABLES
Selected applicants must also be prepared to describe how the project will be monitored and
what type of information will be included in project progress reports. At a minimum, the AQMD
expects to receive the following reports:
1. Quarterly status reports until the vehicle or equipment purchase, repower or retrofit, or
fueling infrastructure has been accomplished. These reports shall include a discussion of
any problems encountered and how they were resolved, any changes in the schedule, and
recommendations for completion of the project. These progress reports are required
before payment for the purchase, repower or retrofit, or infrastructure will be made.
2. An annual report, for a minimum of 5 yeazs and throughout the project life, which
provides the annual miles or hours of operation, where the vehicle or equipment was
operated (75 percent required in-Basin), fuel consumed, and operational and maintenance
issues encountered and how they were resolved. AQMD reserves the right to verify the
information provided.
SECTION III: PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Proposers must complete the appropriate application forms, which are included in the
Appendices, along with the "Contracting Statements" Form, committing that the information
requested in Section II, Work Statement/Schedule of Deliverables will be submitted if the
Proposer's project is selected for funding. In addition, Conflict of Interest and Project Cost
information, as described below, must also be submitted with the application. It is the
responsibility of the proposer to insure that all information submitted is accurate and complete.
Use the checklist provided in the Appendices to ensure all application elements are submitted.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Applicant must address any potential conflicts of interest with other clients affected by
actions performed by the firm on behalf of the AQMD. Although the proposer will not be
8
automatically disqualified by reason of work performed for such firms, the AQMD reserves
the right to consider the nature and extent of such work in evaluating the proposal.
Conflicts of interest will be screened on a case-by-case basis by the AQMD District
Counsel's Office. Conflict of interest provisions of the state law, including the Political
Reform Act, may apply to work performed pursuant to this contract. Please discuss
potential conflicts of interest on the application form entitled "Contracting Statements".
PROJECT COST
Applicants must provide cost information that specifies the amount of funding requested and
the basis for that request by attaching vendor quotes to the application. The Cazl Moyer
Program is intended to fund only the differential cost between existing technology and low-
emission technology. The proposed low-emission technology must be CARB-certifieds.
Proposals will be ranked by cost-effectiveness on a vehicle/equipment-by-vehicle/equipment
basis. In no case will funding exceed $13,000/ton of NOx reduced, though most
requirements are more stringent. No administrative or vehicle /equipment operational costs
will be funded.
All costs must be clearly indicated in the application. In addition, applicants should be sure
to include any sources of co-funding and the amount of each co-funding source in their
application. Proposers are cautioned that the project life period used in calculating
emissions reductions will be used to determine the length of their data reporting obligation.
In other words, a project using a ten year life for the emissions reduction calculations will be
required to operate the project vehicle for the full ten yeazs. Reporting is automatically
required during the first five yeazs of vehicle/equipment operation, and will also be required
upon request for the remaining life of the equipment (i.e., the total ten yeaz project life).
While proposers aze not required to calculate a project's cost-effectiveness, AQMD strongly
recommends this calculation be made by the proposer in order to ensure the project meets
cost-effectiveness ($/ton) limits, and to provide the ability to strategically determine how
much funding to request from this programb. Methodologies for calculating cost-
effectiveness are provided in the Appendices.
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION
All proposals must be submitted according to specifications set forth above. Failure to adhere to
these specifications may be cause for rejection of the proposal.
Aoolication Forms -Program application forms are provided in the Appendices. These must
be completed and submitted with other required documents discussed in the application and
below.
Certifications and Reuresentations - Attachment A to this RFP must be completed and
submitted with the application. Attachment A consists of three forms: 1) State of Incorporation
and Tax Standing, 2) Federal Tax Identification, and 3) EPA Certification.
s Note that an experimental permit from CARB may be considered, but the project will require special CARB
approval.
6 For example, based on a request for the full incremental cost of a project, an applicant calculates a project's cost-
effectiveness (CE) to be $13,000 per ton. If the applicant requests the full incremental cost, then that applicant will
be ranked at $13,000 per ton. If the applicant were to request less funding than the incremental cost, the resulting
cost-effectiveness would improve (for example, $12,500/ton), providing a better CE ranking for the project.
9
Due Date -The proposer shall submit six (6) complete copies of the proposal in a sealed
envelope, plainly mazked in the upper left-hand corner with the name and address of the proposer
and the words "Request for Proposals #P2002-22." All proposals/applications shall be submitted
in an environrnentally friendly format: stapled, not bound, black and white print; no three-ring,
spiral, or plastic binders, and no cazd stock or colored paper.
All proposals aze due no later than 5:00 p.m., on Friday, Mazch 29, 2002. Postmazks aze not
accepted. Faxed or e-mailed proposals will not be accepted. Proposals must be directed to:
Leticia De La O, Purchasing Supervisor
South Coast Air Quality Management District
21865 East Copley Drive
Diamond Baz, CA 91765
Any correction or resubmission done by the proposer will not extend the submittal due
date.
Grounds for Refection - A proposal may be immediately rejected if:
• It is not prepazed in the format described
• It is not signed by an individual authorized to represent the firm
Disposition of Proposals -The AQMD reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. All
responses become the property of the AQMD. One copy of the proposal shall be retained for
AQMD files. Additional copies and materials will be returned only if requested and at the
proposer's expense.
Modification or Withdrawal -Once submitted, proposals cannot be altered without the prior
written consent of AQMD. All proposals shall constitute firm offers and may not be withdrawn
for a period of ninety (90) days following the last day to accept proposals.
SECTION IV: PROPOSAL EVALUATION/CONTRACTOR SELECTION CRITERIA
AQMD staff will evaluate all submitted proposals and make recommendations to the Governing
Boazd for final selection of project(s) to be funded. Proposals will be evaluated on the cost-
effectiveness of NOx reduced on a vehicle/equipment-by-vehicle/equipment basis, as well as a
project's Environmental Justice evaluation (discussed below). Be awaze that there is a
possibility that due to program priorities and/or funding limitations, project applicants may be
offered only partial funding, and not all proposals that meet minimum cost-effectiveness criteria
may be funded.
In compliance with AB 1390, Firebaugh, a new requirement for the FY 2001-02 Moyer Program
requires that at least 50 percent of the funds be spent in azeas that are most significantly impacted
by air pollution and aze low income or communities of color, or both. CARB has issued broad
goals and left the details of how to implement this requirement to each air agency. AQMD will
use the following method to meet the new requirements.
10
1. All projects must qualify for the Cazl Moyer program by meeting the cost-effectiveness
limits established in the RFP.
2. All projects will be evaluated according to the following criteria to qualify for
disproportionate impact funding:
a. Poverty Level: All projects in azeas where at least 10 percent of the population
falls below the Federal poverty level based on the yeaz 2000 census data, will be
eligible to be included in this category, and
b. PM Exposure: All projects in azeas with the highest 15 percent of PM
concentration will be eligible to be ranked in this category. The highest 15
percent of PM concentration is 46 micrograms per cubic meter and above, on an
annual average, or
c. Toxic Exposure: All projects in azeas with a cancer risk of 1,000 in a million and
above (based on Mates II estimates) will be eligible to be ranked in this category.
Data for the poverty level and PM and toxic exposures were obtained from the U.S. Census, the
1998 AQMD monitoring data and Mates II study respectively.
3. Fifty percent of the $11.5 million for this RFP will be allocated among proposals located
in disproportional impacted azeas. If available funding is not exhausted with the outlined
methodology, then staff will return to the Governing Board for direction. If on the other
hand, funding requests exceed the available funding levels, then all qualified projects will
be ranked for poverty level, PM and toxic exposures. The maximum score will be
comprised of 40 percent for poverty level, and 30 percent each for PM and toxic
exposures.
All the proposals not awarded under the fifty percent disproportional impact funding will
then be ranked according to cost-effectiveness, with the most cost-effective project
funded first and then in descending order for each funding category until the remainder of
the Moyer Funds are exhausted.
SECTION V: PAYMENT TERMS
For all projects, except marine vessels, full payment will be made upon installation and

APPENDIX 1- ON-ROAD HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES
Below is additional information pertaining to the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Category for
AQMD's FY2001-2002 Moyer Program. All information in RFP #P2002-22 and this appendix
apply.
INTRODUCTION
Vehicles greater than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GV WR) are considered heavy-
duty vehicles. Heavy-duty vehicles can be categorized as medium heavy-duty (MHD) and heavy
heavy-duty (HHD) vehicles. Specific vehicle weight classes are delineated below:
Vehicle Class Weieht Cateeorv
Class 4 14,001 -16,000 MHD
Class 5 16,001 - 19,500 MHD
Class 6 19,501 - 26,000 MHD
Class 7 26,001 - 33,000 MHD
Class 8 33,001+ HHD
Commercial shuttle buses, i.e. those not operated by a transit or government agency, should
apply within the Class 5-8 categories, as appropriate to vehicle weight. These vehicles are not
eligible under the transit category.
PROGRAM GUIDELINES/CRITERIA
In general, on-road heavy-duty vehicle projects qualifying for evaluation must meet the
following criteria:
• Eligible project types include new vehicle purchases, vehicle repowers, and engine retrofits,
with the exception that no repower or retrofit projects in the transit category are eligible.
• Only alternative fuel projects are eligible. No diesel-to-diesel projects are eligible.
• New vehicle projects must provide at least 30 percent NOx emission reductions.
• Repower or retrofit projects must provide at least 15 percent NOx emission reductions.
• Funded projects must operate for a minimum of five (5) years and at least 75 percent of
vehicle annual miles traveled must occur within AQMD boundaries, except for inter-district
alternative fuel vehicles and APUs, which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
25
• The maximum acceptable project lifer for calculating on-road project benefits is as follows:
Default without Default with
Documentation Documentation
I
Transit Buses 33,000 GV WR -New 12 yeazs N/A
Other On-road -New 10 yeazs 15 years
Other On-road - Repower/Retrofit 7 years 15 years
• Low-emission engines or retrofit kits must be certified for sale in California and must comply
with durability and warranty requirements. Qualified engines could include new CARB-
certified engines; GARB-certified after-market part engine/control devices; or engines with
GARB-approved experimental permits.
• Projects will be evaluated for their ability to contribute towazd AQMD's overall Moyer
Program goal of 25 percent PM emission reduction.
• Cost-effectiveness for Class 7/8 trucks must not exceed $6,000 per ton of NOx reduced.
• Cost-effectiveness for Class 5/6 trucks must not exceed $8,000 per ton of NOx reduced.
• Cost-effectiveness for transit buses must not exceed $13,000 per ton of NOx reduced.
• Cost-effectiveness for all other on-road vehicle project'z must not exceed $10,000 per ton of
NOx reduced.
• Most transit agencies are only eligible for the non-FTA funded portion of the incremental
cost (i.e., approximately 20 percent) of a project's incremental cost.
• NOx reductions obtained through this program must not be required by any existing
regulations, memoranda of agreementlunderstanding, or other legally binding documents
(with the exception of projects that would meet AQMD's 1190-series Rules).
• Proposed project vehicles may not receive co-funding from any other government vehicle
funding grant program3 (i.e., past Moyer, MSRC, AQIP, etc.).
Evaluation Methodology
AQMD staff will evaluate all submitted proposals and make recommendations to the Governing
Boazd for final selection of project(s) to be funded. Proposals will be evaluated on the cost-
effectiveness of NOx reduced on a vehicle/equipment-by-vehicle/equipment basis, as well as a
project's Environmental Justice evaluation (discussed below). Be aware that there is a
possibility that due to program priorities and/or funding limitations, project applicants may be
~ Project life beyond the "default without documentation" may be selected for approval by CARB staff. However
sufficient documentation must be provided to AQMD that supports the selected project life based on the actual
remaining useful life.

offered only partial funding, and not all proposals that meet minimum cost-effectiveness criteria
may be funded.
In compliance with AB 1390, Firebaugh, a new requirement for the FY 2001-02 Moyer Program
requires that at least 50 percent of the fends be spent in areas that are disproportionally impacted
by air pollution and aze low income or communities of color, or both. CARB has issued broad
goals and left the details of how to implement this requirement to each air agency. AQMD will
use the following method to meet the new requirements.
1. All projects must qualify for the Cazl Moyer program by meeting the cost-effectiveness
limits established in the RFP.
2. All projects will be evaluated according to the following criteria to qualify for
disproportionate impact funding:
a. Poverty Level: All projects in areas where at least 10 percent of the population
falls below the Federal poverty level based on the yeaz 2000 census data, will be
eligible to be included in this category, and
b. PM Exposure: All projects in areas with the highest 15 percent of PM
concentration will be eligible to be ranked in this category. The highest 15
percent of PM concentration is 46 micrograms per cubic meter and above, on an
annual average, or
c. Toxic Exposure: All projects in areas with a cancer risk of 1,000 in a million and
above (based on Mates II estimates) will be eligible to be ranked in this category.
Data for the poverty level and PM and toxic exposures were obtained from the U.S. Census, the
1998 AQMD monitoring data and Mates II study respectively.
3. Fifty percent of the $11.5 million for this RFP will be allocated among proposals located
in disproportional impacted areas. If available funding is not exhausted with the outlined
methodology, then staff will return to the Governing boazd for direction. If on the other
hand, funding requests exceed the available funding levels, then all qualified projects will
be ranked for poverty level, PM and toxic exposures. The maximum score will be
comprised of 40 percent for poverty level, and 30 percent each for PM and toxic
exposures.
All the proposals not awarded under the fifty percent disproportional impact funding will then be
ranked according to cost-effectiveness, with the most cost-effective project funded first and then
in descending order for each funding category until the remainder of the Moyer Funds are
exhausted.
27
Eligible Costs
Eligible project costs (i.e., costs for which Moyer funding is requested) aze limited to the
incremental cost of a project to implement the alternative fuel technology, instead of diesel
technology. Please refer to the Project Types section below for additional detail.
Reporting and Monitoring
All participants in the Cazl Moyer program are required to keep appropriate records during the
full life of the funded project (minimum of 5 years). Records must include for each
engine/vehicle, at a minimum:
• total miles traveled,
• miles traveled in the AQMD,
• amount of fuel used, and
• maintenance and repair information.
Records must be retained and updated throughout the project life and made available for AQMD
inspection. The AQMD may conduct periodic reviews of each heavy-duty vehicle project's
operating records to ensure that the vehicle is operated as stated in the program application.
PROJECT TYPES
New Vehicles
In order to be eligible to participate in this program, the new engine must be certified by CARB
to one of its current optional NOx emission credit standazds, regardless of fuel type or engine
design. The CARB NOx emission credit standazds start at 2.5 g/bhp-hr and decrease in 0.5
g/bhp-hr increments. Engines not certified to the CARB's NOx emission credit standards are not
eligible to participate in the Cazl Moyer program even if the engines were certified at a similaz
level in the past or could have been certified at the credit levels. Table L 1 lists the current
heavy-duty engines that have been certified to the CARB's optional NOx emission credit
standazds for the 2000 and 2001 model yeazs. Since new engines aze certified throughout the
yeaz, proposers aze encouraged to contact District staff for the most current list of eligible
engines, or visit CARB's website at http://www.azb.ca.cov/msproe/mover/certs.htm for a current
list. Note that engines other than those listed on this website may be in the process of being
certified.
The Moyer Program will fund, at a maximum, the differential cost to purchase a new alternative
fuel engine-equipped vehicle instead of a new diesel vehicle.
Repowers
Vehicle repower refers to replacing a vehicle's older engine with a newer engine certified to
lower emission standards. Repowering is allowed only for projects that replace the existing
diesel engine with an alternative fuel engine. The replacement engine must be certified for sale
in California to a NOx emission standard that is at least 15 percent lower than the original engine
28
NOx certification level for the engine being replaced.
The Moyer Program will fund, at a maximum, the differential cost to repower the vehicle with a
new alternative fuel engine instead of a new diesel engine.
Retrofits
Retrofit means making modifications to an existing engine and/or fuel system such that the
retrofitted engine does not have the same specifications as the original engine. To qualify for
funding, the engine retrofit kit must be CARB-certified to reduce NOx emissions by at least 15
percent compazed to the original engine certification level.
The Moyer Program will fund, at a maximum, the cost to retrofit an existing diesel engine with a
CARB-certified retrofit kit that would convert the exiting diesel engine to operate on alternative
fuels. Note that at the time of this writing, CARB indicated that there are currently no retrofit
kits certified to the optional standazds. Please be sure to check with CARB if you are proposing
a diesel-to-alternative fuel retrofit project.

An important note about using Table 1.1: For NOx emission factors, use the value provided in
the "Certified Standard NOx / PM" column. The first value is the optional NOx standard to
which that engine is certified. NOx emission factors to be used in cost-effectiveness calculations
will be 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0 or 0.5 only. A NOx value of 2.2 or 2.4 (column 6) represents the
emission test value for that engine during certification, and may not be used for emission
reduction calculations. On the other hand, since there are no existing optional standazds for PM
emissions, the actual PM value may be used from column 7 to calculate PM emission reductions.
For the most recent summary of certified engines, visit the CARB-maintained list on their
website at http://www.arb.ca. og v/msprog/mover/certs.htm. Note that engines other than those
listed here may be in the process of being certified.
EMISSION REDUCTION AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Emission Reduction Calculation Discussion
For on-road heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), emission reductions aze estimated using calculation
methodologies based on annual mileage per vehicle for all vehicle applications. An approved
exception is for stop-and-go/door-to-door refuse applications where annual fuel consumption is
used instead. It is noteworthy that other applications such as street sweeping, may be approved
to use the fuel-based calculation methodology on a case-by-case basis. Emission reduction
estimates based on hours of engine operation are limited to off-road vehicles only.
In general, the emission reduction benefit of a project represents the difference in the emission
level of a baseline vehicle/engine and reduced-emission vehicle/engine. For new vehicle
projects, "baseline" refers to the new diesel fueled vehicle that would have been purchased
instead of the proposed alternative fuel vehicle. For repower and retrofit projects, the "baseline"
vehicle is defined as the vehicle in which the engine is being repowered or retrofitted with an
alternative fuel engine. In situations where the model year of the vehicle chassis and the model
year of the existing engine are different, the model year of the engine will be used to determine
the baseline emission factor for emission reduction calculations. The reduced-emission
vehicle/engine is referred to as the low-emission vehicle case, or LEV.
The emission level of a vehicle is calculated by multiplying an emission factor, an activity level
and conversion factor(s), if necessary. Because the conversion factor(s) and/or activity level
could be different for the baseline and low-emission vehicle (LEV)/engine, the emission levels
should be calculated first and then the difference taken to determine the emission reduction for
the project.
As indicated in the main RFP, the AQMD is required to track the overall PM emission reduction
benefits of its Moyer Program. As such, AQMD will estimate PM emission reductions for
individual projects using the same methodology as is used for the project's NOx reduction
calculation.
In some cases, it may be necessary to use Table 1.1 for a NOx or PM emission factor. As noted
earlier, for NOx emission factors, use the value provided in the "Certified Standazd" column for
NOx and PM (coltunn 9). The first value is the optional NOx standazd to which that engine is
certified, the second value in that same column is the PM standard to which the engine is
31
certified. NOx emission factors to be used in cost-effectiveness calculations include 2.5, 2.0,
1.5, 1.0 or 0.5 only. A NOx value of 2.2 or 2.4 (column 6) represents the emission test value for
that engine during certification, and shall not be used for emission reduction calculations. On the
other hand, since there are no optional standazd for PM emissions, the actual PM value may be
used from column 7 to calculate PM emission reductions. To reiterate, applicants may use test
numbers for PM, but not for NOx. NOx emission reduction calculations must be based on
certification standards.
Mileage-Based Calculation
For most on-road vehicles the activity level is defined by the annual miles traveled as indicated
by the vehicle odometer. Refuse vehicles operating in predominantly stop-and go-applications
and street sweepers are the exception. In this case, the activity level may be based on fuel
consumed as specified by actual annual fuel receipts or other documentation. See discussion
below for additional detail on fuel-based calculations. In either case, emission reduction
calculations shall be consistent with the type of records maintained over the life of the project.
The NOx emission factors listed in Tables 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 should be used for mileage-based
emission reduction calculations. All vehicles should use factors in Tables 1.2 and 1.3, with the
exception of Urban Transit Buses, which should use factors in Table 1.4. A conversion factor
may be needed to convert g/bhp-hr certification data to g/mile units. The conversion factors
listed in Table 1.5 should be used for this unit conversion. While the applicant is not required to
calculate PM emission reductions, you are requested to use Tables 1.6 through 1.8 to answer
questions regarding PM on the application.

Fuel-Based Calculation (for stop-and-go refuse vehicles and street sweepers)
Street sweepers and refuse vehicles operating predominantly in stop-and-go applications accrue
low mileage yet intermittently operate at high load during certain modes. Therefore, a fuel based
emission calculation is more appropriate than a mileage based emission calculation for these
operating conditions. Furthermore, based on discussion with engine manufacturers,
neighborhood refuse collection trucks are subject to limited off-cycle emissions. A1tB staff
34
estimates that a typical heavy-duty diesel truck performing neighborhood waste collection
activities would have off-cycle emissions 20 percent of the time. The model year NOx emission
factors (g/bhp-hr) for refuse vehicles operating predominantly in stop-and-go applications are
listed in Table 1.9. An applicant may choose to use the gram per mile emission factors for
neighborhood waste collection trucks on a case-by-case basis, provided sufficient documentation
is provided to ARB showing that the vehicle/fleet does not operate under these stop-and-go
conditions.

As indicated previously, in order to more accurately estimate the emission reductions of a
proposed project, emission levels must be calculated for the old engine and the new engine
separately, then the new engine emissions are subtracted from the old engine emissions. This not
only accounts for activity level changes, but also the reduced energy conversion efficiency of
alternative fuel engines. Essentially, it takes more gaseous alternative fuel to get the same power
as diesel fuel. In the case where an applicant does not have any experience operating the
proposed alternative fuel (and therefore is relying on existing diesel vehicle fleet data for fuel
consumption projections for the new project vehicle), the baseline diesel fuel consumption must
be multiplied by a factor to get the alternative fuel engine consumption. The fuel efficiency
factors are as follows4:
LNG: Diesel equivalent LNG gallons =Diesel gallons * 1.68
CNG: Diesel equivalent CNG gallons =Diesel gallons * 1.1
LPG: Diesel equivalent LPG gallons =Diesel gallons * 1.55
An energy consumption factor (ECF) is also needed to convert g/bhp-hr to g/gallon of fuel used.
ECF = (MD * ED) /BSFC where,
ECF =Energy Consumption Factor (hp-hr/gal)
MD =Mass Density (Ib/gal)
ED =Energy Density (BTU/lb)
BSFC =Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BTU/hp-hr)
18.5 bhp-hr/gal should be used as the default for refuse vehicles operating predominantly in stop-
and-go applications, and is also used as the default for all other HDV projects, unless aproject-
specific ECF is provided. It is noteworthy that the ECF will change if the activity level of a
project changes.
° Applicants may submit project specific fuel efficie~c~ factors for review and approval by AQMD and CARB.
If an applicant provides datas to calculate aproject-specific ECF, then the fuel efficiency factors
above would not be applied. Project-specific ECFs require ARB review and approval.
Cost-Effectiveness Calculation Discussion
For new heavy-duty vehicle purchase projects, only the incremental cost of purchasing a new
vehicle that meets the optional NOx emission credit standard compared to a conventional vehicle
that meets the existing NOx emission standazd, will be funded through the Carl Moyer Program.
For vehicle repower projects, the portion of the cost for a vehicle repower project to be funded
through the Cazl Moyer Program is the difference between the total cost of purchasing and
installing the new, emission-certified engine and the total cost of rebuilding the existing engine.
For engine retrofit projects, the full cost of the retrofit kit will be funded subject to cost-
effectiveness limits summarized below. Costs that are not considered eligible for Carl Moyer
funds include operating costs such as maintenance or other "life-cycle" costs.
An important exception is for Urban Transit Buses, where the portion of the capital cost to be
funded through the Carl Moyer Program is limited to the non-FTA portion of the incremental
costs (20 percent) and is subject to the $13,000 per ton cost-effectiveness criterion. Full
incremental cost for an urban transit bus could be granted, however, on a case-by-case basis.
The transit district must demonstrate a true need. The transit district would need to provide
AQMD with its Transportation Implementation Plan (TIP) and associated annual updates. If
data included in the TIP are not sufficient for AQMD to determine the need for the applicant to
receive full incremental cost, AQMD would ask for additional documentation.
Cost-effectiveness limits specific to the AQMD 2001-02 Moyer Program aze:
Class 7/8 Trucks: $6,000 per ton
Class 5/6 Trucks: $8,000 per ton
Other:b $10,000 per ton
Transit Buses: $13,000 per ton
Only the amount of money provided by the program is to be used in cost-effectiveness
calculations. The one-time funding amount is to be amortized over the expected project life and
with a discount rate of five percent that results in a capital recovery factor (CRF). For
convenience, CRFs have been pre-calculated and are listed in Figure 2 below. The CRF, when
multiplied by the initial capital cost, yields the annual cost of a project over its expected lifetime.
Annualized Cost (minimum 5 years) _ (CRF) (Initial Capital Cost)
The overall cost-effectiveness of a project is determined by dividing the annualized cost by the
annual NOx emission reductions. Cost-effectiveness cannot exceed the limits listed above.
Applicants can reduce the funding request to meet the cost-effectiveness limit. The AQMD may
also reduce funding requests to the amount allowed by the cost-effectiveness equation.
s Applicants should work with vehicle and engine manufacturers to obtain the data needed for developing this factor.

The discount rate of five percent reflects the opportunity cost of public funds for the Carl Moyer
progam. This is the level of earning that could be reasonably expected by investing state funds
in various financial instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities. Cost-effectiveness is
determined by dividing the annualized cost by the annual NOx emission reductions.
ON-ROAD HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES CALCULATION EXAMPLES
Following are several examples to aid in understanding emission reduction and cost-
effectiveness calculations for a variety of project types.
Example 1-New LNG Truck Purchase (Mileage-based calculation):
A fleet operator proposes to purchase a new 2002 truck with a Mack LNG engine instead of a
diesel engine. The costs of an LNG truck and a diesel truck aze $110,000 and $80,000,
respectively. The new truck will operate 100 percent of the time within the AQMD for a period
of 10 years in line-haul service. Both the Baseline and LEV vehicle configurations will travel
80,000 miles per yeaz (though they do not necessazily have to be the same).

miles)]}*(1)* (ton/907,200g) = 0.72 tons/year
Cost-Effectiveness Calculations
The annualized cost is based on the portion of incremental project costs funded by the Carl
Moyer program, the expected life of the project, given as 10 years, and the interest rate (5
percent) used to amortize the project cost over the project life. The incremental capital cost to the
fleet operator for this purchase and the maximum amount that could be funded can be calculated
as follows:
Incremental capital cost to fleet operator: $110,000 - $80,000 = $ 30,000
Maximum amount funded: $30,000
Capital Recovery Factor: 0.13 from Figure 2
Annualized Cost: (0.13) * ($30,000) _ $3,900 per year
Cost-Effectiveness: ($3,900/year) / (0.72 tons/year)
$5,393/ton NOx reduced
The maximum cost-effectiveness for this project category is $6,000 per ton of NOx reduced.
Since the cost-effectiveness of this project is below the maximum, the full incremental cost of
$30,000 is qualified for Moyer Program funding.
Example 2 -New CNG Refuse Truck Purchase (Fuel-based calculation).
A refuse collection company proposes to purchase a new CNG vehicle versus a diesel one with a
GV WR 58,000 lbs. The proposed CNG engine is a Cummins 8.3. The costs of a CNG truck and
a diesel truck are $135,000 and $90,000, respectively. This vehicle is used for door-to-door (i.e.,
stop-n-go) refuse pick-up and uses 12,400 diesel gallons per year. The vehicle operates 100
percent of the time in California for a period of 10 years. The fuel efficiency factor for CNG is
given by ARB as 1.1 CNG gallons per diesel gallon.

Emission Reduction Calculation
Annual Emission Reductions (tons/year) _
[(Baseline NOx in g/bhp-hr)* (Baseline Conversion Factor bhp-hr/gal) * (Baseline Annual
Fuel in gal/year)] -[(LEV NOx in g/bhp-hr) * (LEV Conversion Factor in bhp-hr/gal)
(LEV annual fuel in gal/year)] * (percent operation in AQMD) * (ton / 907,200 grams)
Baseline NOx Emission factor: 4.4 g/bhp-hr from Table 1.9
LEV NOx Emission factor: 2.5 g/bhp-hr from Table 1.1 or Manufacturer data
Conversion Factor: 18.5 bhp-hr/gal -using ARB default
Baseline Annual Fuel Consumption: 12,400 diesel gal/yeaz
LEV Annual Fuel Consumption8: L 1 * 12,400 = 13,640 CNG gallons (calculated
from the Baseline Annual Fuel Consumption)
Operated in CA: 100 percent
Convert grams to tons: ton/907,200 g
The estimated azmual NOx reductions are:
[(4.4 g/bhp-hr)*(18.5 bhp-hr/gal)*(12,400 gaUyeaz)]-[( 2.5 g/bhp-hr)*(18.5 bhp-
hr/gal)*(13,640 gaUyeaz)] * 100% * ton/907,200 g = 0.42 tons/yeaz
Cost-Effectiveness Calculations
The annualized cost is based on the portion of incremental project costs funded by the Carl
Moyer program, the expected life of the project, given as 10 yeazs, and the interest rate (5
percent) used to amortize the project cost over the project life. The incremental capital cost to
the fleet operator for this purchase and the maximum amount that could be funded are calculated
below:
Incremental Capital Cost: $135,000 - $90,000 = $45,000
Maximum Amount Funded: $45,000
Capital Recovery Factor: 0.13 from Figure 2
Annualized Cost: (0.13) * ($45,000) _ $5,850/year
Cost-Effectiveness: ($5,850/year) / (0.42 tons/year) _ $13,928/ton
IMPORTANT: The cost-effectiveness for the example is greater than the $6,000 per ton cost-
effectiveness maximum for Class 7/8 trucks, and this project does not qualify For the funding
amount requested. In order to meet the $6,000 per ton cost-effectiveness requirement, the
funding request should be reduced. To determine the maximum funding request amount allowed
by the cost-effectiveness limit, multiply the cost-effectiveness limit ($6,000) by the tons/year and
divide by the Capital Recovery Factor. For this example, the maximum amount of funding that
would still allow the project to meet the cost-effectiveness limit = ($6,000 * .42) / .13 =
$19,385. Thus, this project would only qualify for a portion of the full incremental cost - a
maximum amount of $19,385 per vehicle. Note that if the applicant for this example were a
' Remember that engine/vehicle specific conversion factors may be used, and may improve your cost-effectiveness.

consumption data for similaz vehicles operating on CNG. If CNG fuel consumption data are available, then those
CNG gallons maybe used for the calculation. 39
small fleet, or a public agency, then the maximum cost-effectiveness is $10,000 and an award of
$32,308 per vehicle could be approved.
Example 3 -Urban Bus Purchase (Mileage-based calculation).
A transit agency proposes to purchase a new CNG bus instead of a new diesel bus. The CNG
engine will be a DDC 8.5 liter engine. The costs of a CNG bus and a diesel bus are $350,000
and $310,000, respectively. The new bus will operate 100 percent of the time in California for a
period of 12 years. The transit agency averages 50,000 miles per bus, annually.
Emission Reduction Calculation
Annual Emission Reductions (tons/year) _
[(Baseline NOx in g/mile)*(Baseline miles/year) - (LEV NOx in g/bhp-hr)*(Conversion
Factor)*(LEV miles/year)] * (percent operation in AQMD) * (ton / 907,200 grams)
Baseline NOx Emission factor: 20.4 g/mile from Table 1.4
LEV NOx Emission factor: 2.0 g/bhp-hr from Table 1.1 or manufacturer data
Conversion Factor: 4.3 bhp-hr/mile from Table 1.5
Baseline Annual Miles: 50,000 miles
LEV Annual Miles: 50,000 miles
Operated in CA: 100 percent
Convert grams to tons: ton/907,200 g
The estimated annual NOx reductions are:
{[(20.4 g/mile)* (50,000 miles/yeaz)] - [(2.0 g/bhp-hr)* (4.3 bhp-hr/mile)*(50,000
miles)]}*(1)* (ton/907,200g) = 0.65 tons/year
Cost-Effectiveness Calculations
The annualized cost is based on the portion of incremental project costs funded by the Carl
Moyer program, the expected life of the project, given as 12 years, and the interest rate (5
percent) used to amortize the project cost over the project life. Since the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) pays approximately 80 percent of the cost of a new transit bus, the Moyer
Program will fund a maximum of 20 percent of the full incremental cost. The incremental
capital cost to the transit agency for this purchase and the maximum amount that could be funded
through the Carl Moyer Program fund are therefore determined as follows:
FTA Grant for purchase of new diesel bus: (0.8)($ 310,000) _ $248,000
Transit agency's cost for new diesel bus: $310,000 - $248,000 = $62,000
FTA Grant for purchase of new CNG bus: (0.8)($ 350,000) _ $280,000
Transit agency's cost for new CNG bus: $350,000 - $280,000 = $70,000
Incremental Capital Cost: $70,000 - $62,000 = $8,000
Max. Amount Funded: $8,000
Capital Recovery Factor: 0.11 from Figure 2
Annualized Cost: (0.11)($ 8,000) _ $880/year
Cost-effectiveness: ($880/yeaz) / (0.65 tons/year) _ $ 1,354/ton
40
The cost-effectiveness for the example is less than $13,000 per ton of NOx reduced. This project
would qualify for the maximum amount of grant funds requested -the incremental cost of what
was not funded by FTA. Once again, full incremental cost for an urban transit bus would be
granted, on a case-by-case basis.
Example 4 -New LNG Street Sweeper (Fuel-based calculation).
A city municipality proposes to buy a LNG street sweeper instead of a diesel street sweeper. The
main engine for the proposed street sweeper will be a LNG engine (Cummins 5.9LNG) that is
certified to the optional NOx standard of 2.5 g/bhp-hr, while the auxiliazy engine will be an off-
road diesel engine certified to a NOx standard of 6.9 g/bhp-hr. This vehicle is operated entirely
within the AQMD azea in California for a period of 10 years. Based on historical fuel usage, the
main engine of the street sweeper uses approximately two-thirds of the total fuel consumed with
the remaining one-third attributable to the auxiliazy engine. The cost of a new CNG street
sweeper is $162,000 compared to $122,000 for a new diesel powered street sweeper. The fuel
efficiency factor for LNG is given by ARB as 1.68 LNG gallons per diesel gallon.
Emission Reduction Calculation:
(Note that CARB approval to use the fuel based methodology is required).

Remember that engine/vehicle specific conversion factors may be used, and may improve your cost-effectiveness.
10 Important Note: This fuel efficiency factor need only be applied when the applicant does not have fuel
consumption data for similaz vehicles operating on LNG. If actual LNG fuel consumption data are available, then
those LNG gallons may be used for the calculation.
"Applicants are strongly encouraged to require in their vehicle specifications that vehicle manufacturers equip new
sweeper trucks with auxiliary engines that aze CARB-certified to the optional low-emission standards for off-road
engines. This will GREATLY enhance the cost-effe~t~veness of their project.
Total Emission Reductions: 0.02 + 0 = 0.02 tons/year
Cost-Effectiveness Calculations
Incremental Capital Cost: $162,000 - $122,000 = $40,000
Maximum Amount Funded: $40,000
Capital Recovery Factor : 0.13 from Figure 2.
Annualized Cost: (0.13)($ 40,000) _ $ 5,200/yeaz
Cost-Effectiveness: ($ 5,200/year)/(0.02 tons/year) _ $260,000/ton
IMPORTANT: The cost-effectiveness for the example is greater than the $6,000 per ton cost-
effectiveness maximum for public sector trucks, and this project does not qualify for the funding
amount requested. In order to meet the $10,000 per ton cost-effectiveness requirement, the
funding.request should be reduced. To determine the maximum funding request amount allowed
by the cost-effectiveness limit, multiply the cost-effectiveness limit ($10,000) by the tons/year
and divide by the Capital Recovery Factor. For this example, the maximum amount of funding
that would still allow the project to meet the cost-effectiveness limit = ($10,000 * .02) / .13 =
$1,538. Thus, this project would only qualify for a portion of the full incremental cost - a
maximum amount of $1,538 per vehicle. Another approach would be to enhance the cost-
effectiveness of this street sweeper project would be to require in vehicle bid specifications that
manufacturers equip new sweeper trucks with auxiliary engines that aze certified to CARB's
optional low-emission standards for off-road engines. Note: if this vehicle traveled 25,000 miles
per year, the resultig emission reductions would be 0.19 tons/year.
Example 5 -Diesel to LPG On-Road Repower (Fuel-based calculation).
A refuse collection company proposes to repower existing diesel-fueled vehicles with new LPG
engines (Cummins 5.9LPG). The GV WR of the vehicle is 58,000 pounds and the model yeaz of
the engine/vehicle is 1989. The cost of an LPG engine is $50,000, compared to a diesel engine
rebuild cost of $10,000. This vehicle is used for door-to-door (i.e., stop-n-go) refuse pick-up and
operates 100 percent of the time in California for a period of 7 yeazs (the default maximum
project life for repowers). The fuel efficiency factor for LPG is given by ARB as 1.55 LPG
gallons per diesel gallon.
Emission Reduction Calculation
Annual Emission Reductions (tons/yeaz) _
[(Baseline NOx in g/bhp-hr) * (Baseline Conversion Factor bhp-hr/gal) * (Baseline Annual
Fuel in gal/year)] -[(LEV NOx in g/bhp-hr) * (LEV Conversion Factor in bhp-hr/gal)

Baseline NOx Emission factor: 6.0 g/bhp-hr from Table 1.9
LEV NOx Emission factor: 2.5 g/bhp-hr from Manufacturer data
Conversion Factor12: 18.5 bhp-hr/gal -using ARB default
Baseline Annual Fuel Consumption: 13,500 diesel gaUyeaz
"Remember that engine/vehicle specific conversion f~lctors may be used, and may improve your cost-effectiveness.
LEV Annual Fuel Consumption13: 1.55 * 13,500 = 20,925 LPG gallons (calculated
from Baseline Annual Fuel Consumption).
Operated in CA: 100 percent
Convert grams to tons: ton/907,200 g
The estimated annual NOx reductions aze:
[(6.0 g/bhp-hr) * (18.5 bhp-hr/gal) * (13,500 gal/year)] - 2.5 g/bhp-hr) * (18.5 bhp-hr/gal)
* (20,925 gal/year)] * 100% * ton/907,200 g = 0.59 tons/year
Cost-Effectiveness Calculations
The annualized cost is based on the portion of incremental project costs funded by the Carl
Moyer program, the expected life of the project, given as 10 years, and the interest rate (5
percent) used to amortize the project cost over the project life. The incremental capital cost to
the fleet operator for this purchase and the maximum amount that could be funded aze calculated
below:
Incremental Capital Cost: $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000
Maximum Amount Funded: $40,000
Capital Recovery Factor: 0.17 from Figure 2
Annualized Cost: (0.17)($ 45,000) _ $6,800/year
Cost-Effectiveness: ($6,800/yeaz) / (0.42 tons/yeaz) _ $11,525/ton
IMPORTANT: The cost-effectiveness for the example is greater than the $6,000 per ton cost-
effectiveness maximum for Class 7/8 trucks, and this project does not qualify for the funding
amount requested. In order to meet the $6,000 per ton cost-effectiveness requirement, the
funding request should be reduced. To determine the maximum funding request amount allowed
by the cost-effectiveness limit, multiply the cost-effectiveness limit ($6,000) by the tons/year and
divide by the Capital Recovery Factor. For this example, the maximum amount of funding that
would still allow the project to meet the cost-effectiveness limit = ($6,000 * .42) / .17 = $!4,824.
Thus, this project would only qualify for a portion of the full incremental cost - a maximum
amount of $!4,824 per vehicle. Note that if the applicant for this example were a small fleet, or a
public agency, then the maximum cost-effectiveness is $10,000 and an awazd of $24,706 per
vehicle could be approved.
"Important Note: This fuel efficiency factor need only be applied when the applicant does not have fuel
consumption data for similaz vehicles operating on CNG. If CNG fuel consumption data aze available, then those
CNG gallons may be used for the calculation. 43
