Authorize the City Manager to apply for, accept and execute, if awarded, a grant from the North Central Texas Council of Governments for the reimbursement of the purchase and installation of an alternative fuel management system in the amount of $35,147.00; 2. Authorize the transfer of $35,147.00 from the Equipment Services Fund to the Grant Capital Projects Fund for the 50 percent required match for the grant; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations of $70,294.00 in the Grant Capital Projects Fund. DISCUSSION: The Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan Area is categorized as anon -attainment area for ozone. As such, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 require the area to show control strategies that will reduce emissions. On April 4, 2006, the City Council adopted the Clean Fleet Vehicle Resolution (Resolution No. 3334-04- 2006) that outlined the acquisition, operation and maintenance standards for the City of Fort Worth's fleet. When the Federal Government initiated the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Program, the Department of Energy Clean Cities Petroleum Reduction Technologies grant was created. In May 2009, the Equipment Services Department (ESD) submitted a request for a call for projects under the Department of Energy Clean Cities Petroleum Reduction Technologies grant through the North Central Texas Council of Governments. In June 2001, the City of Fort Worth purchased its first E85 capable (Flex Fuel) vehicle. Currently, the City has approximately 450 Flex Fuel vehicles in service. At the time of the call for projects, there were approximately 285 vehicles in service. The estimated cost associated with purchasing the alternative fuel management system and up -fitting approximately 285 vehicles is $86,254.00. Funding for the up -fitting of these vehicles is included with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2010 budget. Based on the ARRA Program guidelines, the City is eligible to be reimbursed for up to 50 percent of the total project cost. The estimated cost for this project is $70,294.00 for the equipment and City supplied labor to install the equipment on the vehicles is $15,960.00. The grant will include equipment only. The labor portion is already budgeted in and will be paid from Fund P161. This project is designed to only allow specific vehicles to receive the alternative fuel (E85) and prevent dispensing to vehicles that are not designed to operate on this fuel. If E85 is operated in a vehicle not designed for it, serious damage may result to the vehicle's fuel system and engine. Page 1 of 2 M&� -Council Agenda 7/26/20ll 9:00:04 AM The price of E85 fuel is approximately $.40 per gallon cheaper at today's cost compared to unleaded gasoline. In addition to being less expensive, it is a cleaner burning fuel and reduces the dependency on foreign oil. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, award of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Grant Capital Projects Fund.
