Summary:
Staff is requesting approval of Resolution 23/24-44: Authorization to submit a funding application to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for the Carl Moyer School Bus Replacement with Supporting Infrastructure Grant to replace six (6) 24-year-old, high-emitting, heavy-duty school buses with six (6) new zero-emission school buses, and to install supporting infrastructure. The attached resolution is a requirement to submit an application to BAAQMD. We will also provide BAAQMD with a list of vehicles that satisfy the eligibility criteria (age, fuel type, and current emissions equipment). BAAQMD will process our application and supporting documents. Provided there are State funds available, BAAQMD will send the District an award letter with a grant amount for each bus. In some cases, the grant will fund up to 100% of the cost to replace a bus. However, the replacement cost for some zero-emission buses may exceed the grant amount. The current condition of the buses identified for replacement is buses 14,001 pounds or greater, with high emissions, and the cost to maintain them increases as they age. All buses awarded replacement grants will be disposed of by BAAQMD. The replacement buses will have higher safety standards, including seat belts, zero emissions equipment, and increased reliability. The new bus charging stations will expand the District’s infrastructure for charging school buses.
