BACKGROUND
On September 10, 2019, the City of Rialto received grant funding from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) in the amount of $135,980. The Grant required City matching funds in the amount of $177,327. The City utilized AB 2766 funding allocation to cover the required match. The MSRC grant, along with the City's matching funds from AB2766 total $313,307. The staff report accepting this funding is included as Attachment 1.
The Grant will be used for the purchase of Light-duty Zero Emission (battery-electric or fuel cell) equivalent vehicles at approximately $28,000 each. MSRC funding will cover 50% of the vehicle's net purchase price or $10,000, whichever is less. The City will be using AB 2766 funding allocation to cover the required match. The City projects being able to purchase up to nine (9) vehicles, depending on pricing obtained from the RFB.
The Grant will be also be used to install Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) charging stations at publicly accessible locations. MSRC funding will cover 75% of the cost to install EVSE charging stations. Therefore, the City's match requirement is only 25% per the Program Opportunity Notice. The City will use the AB 2766 funding allocation to cover the 25% match. Staff estimates that the City could Purchase four (4) new charging stations and install eight (8) charging stations, four (4) new and four (4) old, with this project.
