4. Alternative Energy Plan Develop an Alternative Energy Plan Recommend practices and assist in creation of fleet conservation, sustainable, and recycling programs Identify and recommend grants to meet funding needs for areas identified in energy and conservation plan Identify and recommend appropriate collaborative and public/private partnerships for various program elements to achieve program objectives

5. Alternative Energy Plan Identify and foster relationships with public and private individuals and agencies to assure the linkages are in place to achieve program objectives Identify one or various fuel, energy type and include results Identify recommended replacement vehicles, cost and savings

6. Facilities and Operation Practices  Close loop operation; Zero Waste Operation Lighting, HVAC and Facility Maintenance Deliveries and products purchased within city limits Products made in USA

7. GPS Technology  GPS Based Fleet Management Benefits Utilization Anti-Idling Security Profitability Efficiency Safety Customer Service  GPS Services Offering: Turn-Key Solutions Reliability of Customer Service Solutions & Partnerships Integration – Sensors & Legacy Applications

8. Grant Funds  Where to find to find the money; Clean Cities Coalitions Council of Governments Regional Air Districts County or Local Utilities Federal League of Cites  How to apply for Grants and what to expect In-house staff or contractual services How can a consultant assist What happens after your approved

10. Culver City and Compressed Natural Gas - CNG Started analyzing various alternative fuels in 1995 (CNG, LNG, methanol, pure-ethanol, propane, blends) Studied various methodologies/technologies/engines It became clear natural gas was/is the best choice for clean fuels Abundant, extremely clean, safe, technically- economically viable, inexpensive-fuel, commercially available, infrastructure already in place, American borne, removes dependencies on oil. Equipment technologies are fully developed (and new technologies being designed)

11. Culver City and Compressed Natural Gas - CNG CNG promotes clean air, is environmentally sound, and is plentiful CNG is scientifically proven to reduce CO 2 and Particulate Matter (PM) by 90% CNG is over 65% cleaner than “clean diesel” technologies for NOx (when using SCR). 85% w/o SCR We have experienced lower overall operating costs (compared to gasoline or diesel), and longer engine life Fuel cost is less than 65% of fossil fuels Millions of grant funding dollars is available for CNG (for fuel stations, infrastructure and vehicles)

12. Culver City and Compressed Natural Gas - CNG 80% of all fuel dispensed is CNG, over 995,000 GGE Reduced NOx by – 91,000lbs Reduced PM by – 36,000lbs Reduced CO 2 over the last nine years from 2896 to 806 (m.t.), a reduction of 2,090 CO 2 in m.t. Eighty percent (80%) of our heavy-duty fleet affected by the CARB rule operate on 100% CNG. The remaining 20% have been retrofitted with BACT two years ahead of the CARB mandate, and will be replaced with CNG when they are removed from the fleet Fleet Utilization Plan includes an alternative fuel approach for replacement policy

13. Culver City and Compressed Natural Gas - CNG Very important to b e a collaborative thinker Openly listen to the ideas of others & be flexible Become brilliant (but it’s perfectly fine to make mistakes) Once you commit to an alternative fuel, do it at 100% and become the best at using, developing & applying the technology We don’t recommend taking a cafeteria approach to alternative fuels; it’s very hard to effectively manage Some alternative fuels will force you into a “hostage situation” (for the delivery/availability of the fuel). This must be avoided Meet with and listen to the advice of the experts & suppliers Develop vehicle specifications around the technology. Don’t fit the technology to existing equipment Be proactive not reactive. Demonstrate Leadership

15. Culver City Recycling Efforts We practice Green recycling methods throughout the facility Measured against a 100 – point program criteria Calif. State Certified “Green Model Shop,” 4 years. DTSC Certified and inspected Use of only dry cleaning methods, hydrophobic mops, biodegradable materials, dedicated washing materials 100% Used engine oil is recycled – verified 100% of all paper products, purchasing policy requires only recycled materials 100% use of recycled coolant All Maintenance staff is trained (annually) in DTSC practices Pure Power life-time oil filters. Never buy another filter. 100% verified in lubricity filtration, contaminant control, aqueous cleaning

16. Culver City Facilities Management How many of you, have an adopted Facility Maintenance Plan? If you do, does it include your fueling systems? PM program for infrastructure PM program for shop equipment PM program for elevators (or contracting this function) Inspection criteria for office equipment and ergonomics PM program for hydraulic lifts, jacks, and large tools Replacement cycles (life cycles) for shop equipment UST program, permits, certifications, cycled repairs and timetable for annual inspections (included in the plan) UST operator policy Regulatory compliance countermeasures

17. Culver City Facilities Management We recently updated our FMP to include a dedicated section on our CNG fueling station Includes diagrams Includes a full pictorial and location map of all devices Location and function of all ESD Functionality of emergency systems Operating instructions of emergency CNG station generator Safety systems in the shop (methane and CO 2 ) detectors and their locations FMP includes part identifications, part numbers, stocking requirements and OEM information

18. Culver City Fleet Reduction-Utilization 1.Stated & Adopted Fleet Utilization Policy 2.Ratios between the active and inactive fleet 3.Do you have the right vehicle and the right quantity of vehicles to perform the mission? 4.Do you have a stated policy that avoids fleet creep? 5.Sometimes fleet growth is correct. Don’t reduce the fleet only for cost reductions 6.Pool vehicle inventory is far more cost effective 7.Municipal fleet sharing – Very cost effective 8.All fleet acquisitions are alternative fuel wherever possible, or have maximum GHG reduction technology strategies

19. Culver City Vehicle Specifications 1.Always start with your customer. You should always understand any special operational characteristics and the environment 2.Never fit new technologies to OEM equipment when specifying alternative fuels. Develop the specifications to be successful 3.Begin with the end in mind 4.Build and collaborate a team with OEM’s, customers, technicians 5.Remember to engage your parts staff in the process 6.If the OEM states they can’t build what your asking for, become resourceful and state out your goals. Assemble a team to assist you through project fruition – demonstrate leadership 7. I cannot stress this point enough: Alternative Fuels, vehicles/equipment requires you to build PARTNERSHIPS to become successful at your operations 8.Final point, make sure you engage your utilities
