CA-4: Fossil Fuel Reduction

Goal

Reduce the overall consumption of fossil fuels by nonroad construction equipment.

Requirements

Reduce the fossil fuel requirements of nonroad construction equipment by using biofuel or biofuel blends as a replacement for fossil fuel. Points are awarded as follows:

1 point
Reduce the fossil fuel requirements of the nonroad construction equipment fleet by 15% through the use of biofuel or biofuel blends as a replacement for fossil fuel.

2 points
Reduce the fossil fuel requirements of the nonroad construction equipment fleet by 25% through the use of biofuel or biofuel blends as a replacement for fossil fuel.

Documentation

1. A signed letter from the prime contractor that describes the fossil fuel use reduction measures used and the percentage reduction achieved.
2. A spreadsheet summarizing all receipts for all fuel used in nonroad equipment for the project. The spreadsheet should indicate (and receipts should show) associated biofuel blend (e.g., B5, B20, B100) used.
