MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER M/
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 16, 2001
SUBJECT: ADVANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH TXDOT FOR CLEAN
VEHICLE PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider a resolution approving the Advance Funding Agreement with
TXDOT to establish funding participation levels and project scope for the Clean Vehicle
Program, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are currently available in FY 02 Lease Fund, account number 325-48910-000-0-
0005.
BACKGROUND:
The Clean Vehicle Program is an incentive program for municipalities to purchase
alternative fuel vehicles to assist in the reduction of ozone -forming mobile emissions.
The program offers the City of Grapevine the opportunity to receive reimbursement of
the incremental costs of up to 24 alternative fuel vehicles (up to $42,251), should the
City choose to acquire these vehicles.
Agreeing to participate in this program in no way commits the city to the purchase of any
vehicles. It only provides us with a means by which we can fund the acquisition of
alternative fuel vehicles in lieu of standard gasoline powered vehicles. By September
2002, the TNRCC will require the City to show that:
• 70% of our non -emergency fleet under 8,600 pounds meet low emission vehicle
standards; and
• 50% of our non -emergency fleet over 8,600 pounds meet low emission vehicle
standards.
October 9, 2001 (3:59PM)
The project is funded in large part by a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
� federal grant. The following is the funding breakdown.
Federal Funding
$42,251
City Matching Funds
$10,563
Total Project Cost
$52,814
This project will be administered by the State. A Master Agreement, adopted by the City
(by resolution) and the State in January of 1999, establishes general terms and
conditions for the Clean Vehicle Program. The attached funding agreement formally
establishes the funding participation level and scope for this program.
Staff recommends approval.

ALTERNATIVE FUEL AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY VEHICLES
FUNDING
The funds provided by the State under the "Agreement for Funding Clean Vehicles Program,"
hereinafter referenced as the "Agreement," will be used to reimburse the Recipient for costs
incurred for the incremental cost of the purchase of a new alternative fuel or advanced
technology vehicle or conversion of an existing vehicle to operate on an alternative fuel.
The "Incremental Cost" is defined as:
• The cost of a certified conversion of an existing vehicle to use at least one alternative
fuel.
• The additional cost of an alternative fuel system on new vehicles which may be
purchased by the Recipient over the normal cost of the same make and model vehicle to
operate on a conventional fuel.
• Supplemental capital costs relating to costs associated with alternative fuel vehicle.
(e.g., additional tanks or canisters, air boxes, etc.)
The maximum available funding eligible for reimbursement for each approved vehicle type is
derived from the programmed funding tables approved by the Regional Transportation Council,
attached hereto and identified as Attachment "1". The amounts established in Attachment "1"
shall include the cost of the actual installation of the alternative fuel system, the cost associated
with the emissions tests and applicable costs incurred by the Recipient in implementing the
Clean Vehicles Program. Under no circumstances will the federal reimbursable share exceed
80 percent of the total incremental cost.
Vehicles operating on the following fuel types are eligible for funding under the Clean Vehicles
Program:
• Natural gas — Compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG)
• Propane (LPG)
• Electricity
• Ethanol
• Methanol
• Hybrid electric
VEHICLE CONVERSION REQUIREMENTS
The vehicle must be registered and based in the Dallas -Fort Worth nonattainment area to
qualify for funding under the Clean Vehicles Program. The Recipient will provide the State
written verification of existing or planned alternative fuels stations from which the Recipient
plans to obtain the required fuels. The verification must be submitted to the State prior to the
State's issuance of the Work Order. The conversion kit for the alternative fuel must be in
compliance with the certification process required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
June 2001
("EPA") in order to qualify for funding under this program. An emissions test demonstrating air
quality benefits will be required by the State for each vehicle at the time of conversion. The
emissions text must measure .volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides in the loaded
mode (e.g., IM240 or similar). When appropriate, tests before and after the conversion is
performed should be conducted. Until the IM240 or similar test is available, emission tests
using existing technology (e.g., four -gas analyzer, Bar -90) will be acceptable. As a minimum,
the emissions with the alternative fuel in use must meet the traditional fuel emission standards
for the model year and classification of the vehicle. Bi -fuel vehicles must be tested in operation
on both the traditional and alternative fuel. The State has made arrangements with the North
Central Texas Council of Governments ("NCTCOG") to act as its representative to review and
approve various tests and reports required under the agreement. The Recipient will forward the
emissions test documentation directly to NCTCOG at the following address:
North Central Texas Council of Governments
616 Six Flags Drive, Centerpoint Two
P.O. Box 5888
Arlington, Texas 76005-5888
The State's reimbursement of funds to the Recipient will be determined by the approval of the
emissions test.
FUELNEHICLE USE REQUIREMENTS
Regardless of the age of the vehicle at the time of conversion, the Recipient will be required to
operate the vehicle using the alternative fuel for a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the
vehicle miles traveled and travel a minimum of 25,000 miles (service life) and maintain the
vehicle in its fleet for a period not less than three (3) years. Documentation verifying the usage
requirements established hereabove may be requested by the NCTCOG on an annual basis or
at any time required by the State and/or NCTCOG. If records are not provided to the NCTCOG
by the Recipient or the records which have been provided by the Recipient reveals that the
vehicles have not met the usage requirements established in this agreement, funding for future
vehicles under the Clean Vehicles Program may not be allocated. Adjustments for idling
vehicles will be made on a case by case basis. NCTCOG has the option to grant waivers for
special cases.
In the event an alternative fuel vehicle funded under this agreement is destroyed or lost through
fire, theft, accident, or force majeure, the State will not seek reimbursement of funds. However,
should the Recipient decide to sell the vehicle or otherwise voluntarily take it out of service, a
prorated amount of funds provided under this program will be refunded by the Recipient to the
State. The amortized amount of the refund will be based on the number of months the vehicle
was driven on the alternative fuel (up to 36 months) for at least ninety percent (90%) of the
vehicle miles traveled during each month.
At the end of the three (3) year operation period, the ownership and disposition of the alternative
fuel conversion equipment purchased under the agreement will be assumed by the Recipient.
Continued use of the alternative fuel vehicles'by the Recipient is highly encouraged.
