the purchase four CNG bi-fuel "turnkey" sport utility vehicles (SUVs) on behalf of the City of

project (see letter of support) and will provide their 17.21% local match for these four vehicles,
which is estimated at $30,632.00.

Re: North Front Range MPO; CMAQ grant funds
Beth:
I wanted to write and express our appreciation and enthusiasm for the opportunity to
participate with Weld County on the referenced project. Evans is excited about the
chance to once again partner with Weld County on this very beneficial North Front
Range MPO project. Evans supports using CMAQ grant funds to further Weld County's
Smart Energy Plan which promotes the use of Natural Gas as "the" alternative
transportation fuel by converting our fleet vehicles to operate on natural gas. Evans
commits to providing the 17.21% local match funds for our portion of the project, which
includes the purchase of four CNG vehicles.
As always, it's a pleasure to partner with Weld County. Including this project, we have a
number of ongoing partnerships that will serve our mutual communities well into the
future. If you have any questions or need additional information please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
eadifra.....6C--
