20. IGA WITH THE DEER VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT #97 FOR STATE CLEAN DIESEL PROGRAM SUB AWARD Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement between Deer Valley Unified School District #97 and Maricopa County through the Air Quality Department, in the not-to-exceed amount of $120,000. The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement is to pass through State Clean Diesel Program DERA funds for diesel vehicle retrofit or replacement. This Intergovernmental Agreement is effective upon final signature until September 30, 2017. Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) has been presented with the opportunity to provide a sub award of $120,000 to an eligible applicant from its Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) State Clean Diesel Program for Federal Fiscal Year 2016. The sub award is necessary because the primary awardee, Maricopa County Equipment Services Department, will be able to complete requested vehicle retrofits using less funding than originally anticipated. Two applicants responded to the March 2017 request for proposals by the County: the City of El Mirage and Deer Valley Unified School District #97 (DVUSD). The City of El Mirage proposal would replace one 2001 Fire Pumper truck that averaged 10K miles per year with a newer model. The DVUSD proposal would replace three older school buses that each average 14K miles per year, a total of over 40K miles per year. Since miles traveled has a direct correlation with fuel consumption and associated air pollution, MCAQD recommends that vehicles utilized more frequently be prioritized in replacement opportunities to bring newer cleaner technologies to the county. Based on the information provided in both proposals, MCAQD determined that DVUSD’s proposal would have a more significant pollution reduction impact in Maricopa County and has selected DVUSD for the Federal Fiscal Year 2016 DERA sub award.
