H-GAC 2007 Request for Project Proposals

Public or private entities are eligible to receive funding for projects that demonstrate cost effective emission reductions. Through this funding program, the H-GAC Board will fund clean vehicle projects to help reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from local fleets   Eligible project types include new purchases, replacements, retrofits, repowers, and conversions of heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles, establishment of a publicly owned alternative fuel refueling infrastructure (i.e. natural gas, propane, biodiesel, E85, etc).

Please read the New Program Info (form below) to review the specifications and guidelines. In addition, the Application and Fleet Survey Form needed to apply for funding is also listed and required to be considered for project funding.

• New Program Info
• Application
• Fleet Survey Form
• New Vehicle Engine Purchase Form
• Engine Repower/Retrofit Form

Please Note: Funds will be used to reimburse the recipient for the following:

• Up to 75% of the incremental cost of the purchase price of an original equipment manufactured (OEM) vehicle. Additional emissions reductions are required under this category.
• Up to 75% of the total cost of a conversion that involves either operation on a clean fuel, or utilization of a catalyst or other technology that effectively reduces vehicle emissions. Diesel engine idling reduction technologies may also be funded in this program to the extent that emissions are reflected in the on-road regional emissions budget.
• Up to 75% for the establishment of publicly owned, on-site fueling facilities and other infrastructure needed to fuel clean vehicles.

**Overhead and administrative costs are not eligible for funding under this call for projects.

**Projects involving engine replacement require destruction of baseline engine.
