Transportation Planner Public Works Department SUBJECT: Amendment #1 of CDOT Contract for CMAQ Project #22102, CDOT #491001530 — FY17 UFR This is a request from the Public Works Department for the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to approve Amendment #1 for the referenced. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) contract, extending it by one year to December 31, 2019, as indicated in paragraph 6 of the attached Grant Amendment. The contract provides for the procurement of eleven (11) compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks and two (2) heavy-duty truck conversions to liquified natural gas (LNG). For Fiscal Year 2017, Weld County, the Town of Gilcrest, and the City of Fort Lupton were collectively awarded $502,000 in federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program funding through the Upper Front Range (UFR) Transportation Planning Region (TPR). The local match requirement is 17.21% ($104,353) for a total contract amount of $606,353. As you know, Weld County procures CMAQ-funded vehicles for local governments in the County. Two (2) of the eleven vehicles in the contract are for Gilcrest, three (3) for Fort Lupton, and six (6) vehicles and two (2) conversion kits for Weld County. The equipment complies with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) dominant transportation function definition and will be used for multiple purposes, including but not limited to snow plowing, road sanding and salting, road surface maintenance, weed control, road right-of-way maintenance, and for emergency response to assist in scene management to ensure public safety and mobility are maintained for the traveling public. Likewise, the vehicles and conversions will contribute to reductions of ozone precursor emissions (i.e., volatile organic compounds [VOC], nitrogen oxides [NOx]) as required by the CMAQ program. The contract has an expiration date of December 31, 2018, which does not allow enough time to bid and procure the vehicles. The time extension is necessary because the CMAQ funds had been delayed due to the lack of Buy America waivers for the equipment. In April 2018, FHWA issued. Buy America waivers for this equipment (83 FR 16421, April 16, 2018) so the procurement process can proceed. To summarize, the Public Works Department is requesting Board approval of Amendment #1 to the contract with CDOT to procure CNG vehicles through the FY17 UFR CMAQ Program. I will be available to answer questions at the meeting. 2018-4092 PO 4 / SRM #: 491001530 / 18-HTD-ZL-00060 Routing #: 18-HTD-ZL-00060-M0002 GRANT AMENDMENT Amendment #: Original Grant CLIN/CMS #: Original SAP -PO#: 491001530 Amendment Routing #: 18-HTD-ZL-00060-M0002 Amendment Routing PO #: 1 18-HTD-ZL-00060-M0002 491001530 1) PARTIES This Amendment to the above -referenced original Contract, (hereinafter called the "Grant"), is entered into by and between WELD COUNTY (hereinafter called "Grantee"), and the STATE OF COLORADO (hereinafter called the "State"), acting by and through the Department of Transportation, (hereinafter called "CDOT"). 2) EFFECTIVE DATE AND ENFORCEABILITY This Amendment shall not be effective or enforceable until it is approved and signed by the Colorado State Controller or designee (hereinafter called the "Effective Date").
