ISSUE OF January 1, 1993" ve5="?"> In Addition The Texas Register is required by statute to publish certain documents, including applications to purchase control of state banks, notices of rate ceilings, changes in interest rate and applications to install remote service units, and consultant proposal requests and awards. To aid agencies in communicating information quickly and effectively, other information of general interest to the public is published as space allows. Texas Air Control Board Public Notification of Availability of Final Draft of the Texas Vehicle Emission Inspection Request for Proposal (RFP) When Congress passed the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) Amendments, it recognized that too little had been done to reduce motor vehicle emissions, which cause a substantial portion of air pollution. Consequently, Congress mandated vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance programs in areas that do not meet federal health standards. Congress also set stringent new requirements for these programs. These requirements include components of existing programs from around the country that have been the most effective, including centralized testing, automation, and registration enforcement. On November 5, 1992, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released federal rulemaking requiring states to implement specific programs and standards for emission testing of vehicles. EPA's rulemaking is based on the authority and responsibility that the FCAA delegated to EPA. Per EPA rulemaking, "basic" programs are required for areas with only moderate air pollution problems. In Texas, the Dallas/Fort Worth and Beaumont/Port Arthur non-attainment areas are classified as basic. "Enhanced" programs are required for more seriously polluted areas. In Texas, Houston and El Paso fall into the enhanced category. While the rulemaking does provide some flexibility in the design of a state's vehicle testing program, the consequences of failing to develop or implement an effective program are severe. Faced with these new requirements, the Texas Air Control Board (TACB) staff began an in depth analysis that compared the limitations of our current decentralized vehicle emission testing program with centralized program designs. There are a number of key differences between a "decentralized" program and a "centralized" program. A traditional decentralized vehicle emission inspection program utilizes a large number of privately owned and operated stations which are licensed by the state to conduct inspections. The primary business of these stations is typically general automotive repair, gasoline retail sales, vehicle sales, or other vehicle-related interests. A traditional centralized inspection program utilizes a small number of high-volume, inspection-only facilities either operated by the state or by a state appointed contractor. Repairs must be obtained elsewhere. While the TACB analysis was initiated with an emphasis on preserving our existing decentralized inspection approach, it rapidly became apparent that the necessary enhancements would be beyond Texas' financial resources and burdensome to both the motorist and the state. On the other hand, it was also clear that implementation of a traditional centralized program, while significantly less expensive, was not acceptable due to its potential impact on local businesses and difficulties with public acceptance. Therefore, the TACB proposed a modification to the centralized program approach that would maximize, to the extent possible, "Texas Content". This modification to the traditional centralized approach is an innovative design that includes managing and operating contractors with the intent to maximize local and private business participation while ensuring effective program management and enforcement. Each managing contractor will be selected, through a competitive bid proposal process, for each Texas non- attainment/program area. Each managing contractor will have the responsibility for locating, constructing, equipping, and assisting the state with program oversight of high-volume, test-only emission inspection facilities within each non-attainment/program area. Individual emission test facilities will be leased to separate operating contractors from a managing contractor, with a preference granted to local and Texas resident business investors. It is the intent of the TACB to provide equal opportunity for all potential operating contractors. The responsibilities of the operating contractors will be to provide staffing, perform testing, and collect emission inspection test fees. All competitive bid proposals prepared and submitted by potential managing contractors will conform to, and be evaluated based on, the criteria presented in the Texas Vehicle Emission Inspection RFP document for proposal submission. All managing contractor bid proposals, wishing consideration, must comply with the requirements of the RFP. The final draft of the RFP document will be reviewed in a regular meeting by the Board on January 14-15, 1993. This document is extremely large; therefore; it will not be published in the Texas Register. However, copies of this final draft document will be made available to any firm, agency, or individual upon request from the TACB. If you, your firm, or your organization are interested in obtaining a copy of the final draft RFP, you may contact the TACB office in Austin during regular hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday) at: The Texas Air Control Board, Air Quality Planning, 12124 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, (512) 908-1457. Note: The TACB is permitted to recover the costs associated with copying and mailing documents. Therefore, there may be a nominal charge associated with obtaining a copy of the final draft of the RFP due to its size. Issued in Austin, Texas, on December 21, 1992.

Talbot, Jr. General Counsel Office of the Governor Filed: December 22, 1992 Governor's Energy Office Request for Proposals Notice of Invitation . The Governor's Energy Office (GEO) invites proposals from government agencies, colonias, public school districts, institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations, utilities, private firms, and individuals to conduct alternative energy demonstration projects. All renewable energy technologies are eligible for this program, including photovoltaics, wind, solar thermal, hybrid systems, low-head hydro, biomass, and biofuels. Alternative energy systems offer many advantages that make them attractive power options for numerous applications. Many Texans, however, remain unfamiliar with renewable energy technologies. For this reason, the Texas Legislature established a $4.5 million Alternative Energy Program, funded by oil overcharge funds returned to the state pursuant to the Exxon Court Order. The primary purpose of the program is to accelerate acceptance of renewable energy technologies throughout the state. This will be accomplished through the demonstration of technically feasible and economically practical applications which target various sectors of the population and through the installation of monitoring equipment to document the availability of renewable resources. Proposals are now being solicited for the third cycle of renewable energy projects. We anticipate funding numerous projects of various sizes in this cycle. A total of $2.7 million is available for this final round of renewable energy demonstration projects. All proposed projects must be located within the state of Texas, and the prime contractor must be Texas based. Services to be Performed . Demonstration project contractors will be expected to perform the following services: design and install a technically feasible and economically practical demonstration of one or more renewable energy techniques or technologies; identify specific members of the population sector (target audience) that would be likely to replicate this installation; photograph the installation process and the completed demonstration project; follow defined monitoring plan for the demonstration project, collecting performance data for two years subsequent to installation; identify two publications such as trade journals, newsletters, or newspapers, and assure at least two articles discussing the project are published; assist the GEO in the preparation of a technology transfer fact sheet describing the project; arrange and conduct a minimum of six tours of the demonstration facility; provide information to members of the target audience choosing to implement the demonstrated techniques or technologies; file monthly progress, performance, and visitor reports; prepare a final report summarizing installed project cost and energy savings achieved by this project to establish baseline performance for this application of a renewable energy technology. Restrictions on the Use of Funds. This program is funded with oil overcharge funds appropriated to the Alternative Energy Program by the 71st Texas Legislature. Oil overcharge funds are monetary settlements returned to the states as a result of litigation by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) against certain oil companies for alleged violations of price controls in effect between 1973 and 1981. The courts returned these funds to the states for use in certain energy programs deemed to provide restitution to citizens aggrieved by the overcharges. Funds are subject to program guidelines of the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Extension Service (EES) and the U.S. v. Exxon court order, and may not be used to pay indirect or administrative costs nor to conduct research and development activities. The funds may be used to supplement existing programs, but may not supplant funds already allocated to the programs. Each project selected must be approved by DOE prior to funding. Approved projects will be funded on a cost reimbursement basis. All expenses must be properly documented and permissible under the contract and under federal guidelines, and all are subject to approval by the Governor's Office. No advance payments are allowable. Contact Person A series of regional pre-proposal workshops will be held to discuss current cost effective applications of renewable energy technologies. To obtain information on the dates and locations of these workshops or to obtain a copy of the required proposal format, contact Judith Carroll at (512) 463-1871. Proposal format packages will not be sent by express mail nor by facsimile machine. Closing Date. Seven copies of the proposal should be sent to: Booker White, Governor's Energy Office, P.O. Box 12428, Austin, Texas 78711. The Energy Office is located on the Second Floor of the Insurance Annex Building, 221 East 11th Street, Austin, Texas 78701.

Members of the target audience must be able to replicate this application of a renewable energy technique or technology. The proposed project must offer a unique opportunity to reach the target audience. The project team must include a credible representative of the identified user group. The proposal must contain components for information dissemination to the target audience. Energy Impact (20%). The proposed demonstration project must save or displace the use of fossil fuels. Calculations for projected energy and cost savings or fuel displacement must be included and clearly explained. Technical Feasibility and Practicality (30%). The proposal must establish that this application of a renewable energy technique or technology is economically competitive now or will be within four years. The description of the proposed renewable energy demonstration project must include all pertinent information necessary to establish practicality and technical feasibility. The proposed system design should be clearly illustrated and must use only proven, commercially available equipment. Adherence to applicable codes and standards is required. The proposed demonstration project must be safe, long-lasting, and maintainable. The proposed project must include a two-year monitoring plan and the system design must include metering equipment necessary to measure project performance. The project team must be qualified and experienced. Soundness of Proposed Budget and Level of Commitment (15%). The proposal should contain a detailed cost breakdown, and all project costs must be reasonable. Participants will be required to share project costs at a minimum of 30%. Cost- sharing should be adjusted upward in proportion to user (owner) benefits. New Texas Bonus (5.0%). Will this project benefit Texas technology, industry, or employment? Does the project offer exceptional environmental benefits? Does the project target an area or audience that has been overlooked previously? The GEO anticipates awarding several contracts for alternative energy demonstration projects. Final selection, based on the recommendations of the proposal review panel, will be made on or before May 1, 1993. Bach selected demonstration project must be approved by DOE prior to funding. The GEO reserves the right to negotiate both scope of work and budget with the contractor or contractors. The GEO also reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and is under no legal requirement to execute a contract on the basis of this Request for Proposals. If two or more proposals are ranked so closely that a decision cannot be made, the review panel may request finalists to provide additional information or to meet with Energy Office staff in Austin prior to final selection. No respondent, however, will be reimbursed for any costs incurred in the preparation, submission, or clarification of a proposal. Issued in Austin, Texas, on December 21, 1992. TRD-9216813 Harris E.
