7 <br /> Clean Fuel Advanced Technology LPG Proposal Application <br /> Statement of Work <br /> Task #1: Acquisition and Installation of Equipment or Infrastructure. <br /> Orange County will team with Alliance AutoGas to convert 19 vehicles that currently run on <br /> conventional unleaded gasoline to operating on propane AutoGas using the PRINS bi-fuel system. <br /> The PRINS bi-fuel system is an EPA Certified Vapor Sequential Injection system that starts on <br /> gasoline, immediately switches to propane AutoGas, thereby allowing the Orange County Sheriff's <br /> Office, Emergency Services and Orange County Public Transit to better utilize their service fleet <br /> within the non-attainment portion of Orange County. The 19 CFAT funded vehicles are part of an <br /> overall initiative by Orange County to successfully incorporate alternative fuels into their fleets and to <br /> continue their commitment to alternative fuel sources and emission reductions. <br /> With Alliance AutoGas providing the turn-key propane solutions through its founding partners, <br /> Blossman Gas, Orange County will be able to strategically place the necessary propane AutoGas <br /> fueling infrastructure (at no cost to the county). The propane AutoGas fueling infrastructure will be <br /> sized in such a manner as to accommodate the county's future needs for propane AutoGas, well <br /> beyond the three year commitment for this project (see quote attached). <br /> Orange County will work with Alliance AutoGas to integrate the new fueling infrastructure into our <br /> current Fuel Management system. This will involve an additional gauge which will be installed by Go <br /> Energies (see quote attached). <br /> Orange County will receive the necessary training to have its maintenance facility and technicians <br /> certified to perform all conversions of the EPA Certified PRINS bi-fuel systems for this project, as well <br /> as any future Orange County fleet vehicle conversions to the PRINS system. <br /> Orange County will meet all relevant local, state and federal permitting/purchasing requirements <br /> related to this project and will utilize the propane-converted vehicles for a minimum of three years. <br /> TASK 1 DELIVERABLES <br /> • Deliverable 1.1: Copies of paid invoices for all costs associated with project will be <br /> provided. <br /> • Deliverable 1.2: Brief description of what was accomplished will be provided. <br /> Task #2: Usage tracking of project technology/fuel. <br /> Orange County agrees to utilize quarterly tracking form provided by NC Clean Energy and <br /> Technology Center and/or another mutually agreed format to track technology usage such as vehicle <br /> miles traveled and gallons of propane used. <br /> Gasoline displacement: Driving on propane 90% of the time, we expect the 19 vehicles involved in <br /> this project will displace an estimated total of 110,850 gasoline gallons over the three year period of <br /> the project (or 36,950 annually). <br /> Orange County vehicles in this project travel on average approximately 16,516 miles per year (each). <br /> 4 <br />
