If the proposed project is new, please write N/A in the <br />first column of the table below, and just fill out the second column. <br /> <br />Actual Annual Project <br />Costs <br />(If your proposed project <br />expands or accelerates an <br />ongoing effort) <br />Projected Project Costs <br />Total Cost of Project N/A $74,600 <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of tons of greenhouse gases reduced 296.88 (total lifetime <br />MTCDE avoided) <br />Cost Per Ton of GHG’s Reduced $251.28 <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of individuals served/benefitted 61,128 <br />Cost Per Individual Served/Benefitted $1.22 <br />Other Unit of Impact: Please describe here <br />Cost Per Unit of Impact <br />Other Unit of Impact: Please describe here <br />Cost Per Unit of Impact <br /> (Please feel free to add rows if necessary to show any additional units of impact.) <br />24. Please describe any avoided <br />financial costs or savings <br />related to the project and over <br />what period of time those costs <br />will be avoided/reduced: <br />The total cost of the EV garbage truck and its charging equipment is <br />$ 470,554. To bring down the cost of this purchase, Chapel Hill has <br />successfully applied for a Mobile Source Emissions Reduction Grant <br />from the NC Division of Air Quality. They have offered to provide <br />45% of the total cost ($211,749). <br />While this is a significant help, the remaining 55% of the cost is still a <br />significant barrier at $258,805. <br />As discussed previously, the Town’s vehicle replacement funding was <br />zeroed out over the pandemic and the small amount that is expected <br />in the upcoming FY24 budget is uncertain. <br />Even though this amount represent only 1/5th of the remaining cost <br />match, the additional support of $50,000 from the County’s <br />Community Climate Action Grant would make sure that this vehicle <br />was purchased. <br />25. Does your project accelerate or <br />expand on existing programs <br />that already show positive <br />impact? <br />This would represent an important expansion of EVs into two new <br />vehicles classes in the Town’s fleet. <br />26. Does your project also take <br />advantage of other funding <br />sources? <br />Yes. This proposed project takes advantage of $211,749 in grant <br />funding as well as over $200,000 in the Town’s annual funds. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 494A0BDA-FFC8-478D-826D-7FA71E3E3A5C
