Approve Issuance of Program Announcement for Heavy-Duty
Truck Replacements, Issuance of Request for Quotations to Obtain Information on Truck Pricings, Posting of Financing Rates for New Trucks, and Execute Contracts to Secure
Technical Assistance
Under the “Year
1” Proposition 1B-Goods
Movement Program, the AQMD
was allocated $21,412,500
for non-drayage truck and
locomotive projects that
were put on hold due to
unavailability of funds.
CARB has just informed the
AQMD that these funds are
now available and together
with unspent funds from the
Ports’ drayage truck program
must be committed through
executed contracts by June
30, 2010. While reviewing
and executing contracts from
the already approved list of
trucks on March 6, 2009,
this action is to issue a
new program solicitation for
additional truck replacement
projects to ensure
availability of adequate
number of trucks. This
action is also to issue a
request for quotation to
obtain pricing information
from truck dealers and
posting financing rates from
financial institutions to
ensure the lowest truck
prices at favorable rates
and to obtain consultant
services for assistance in
the implementation of this
program.

Approve Indemnification Clause in ENVIRON International Corporation
Contract
On January 8, 2010, the Board approved execution of a contract with
ENVIRON International Corporation to develop a computer model to calculate
criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from land use development. The need to
develop such a model arose when an existing contractor claimed to own the source
code for an existing computer model, URBEMIS, which has previously been widely
used and made available at no cost. This action is to approve indemnification
provisions relating to potential legal claims against ENVIRON by persons
involved in violation of intellectual property rights asserted relative to the
URBEMIS program if those claims arise from work required under the contract.
