DEP.BAW.RFI.VW.SETTLEMENT.EMA2.4.20.18.xlsx

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The RFI is seeking data and feedback on how Massachusetts should expend its funding portion from the 2017 legal settlement with Volkswagen and its subsidiaries (the VW Settlement). The RFI covers information on existing and new equipment/fleets/engines/vehicles across various vehicle and equipment categories such as large trucks, port drayage trucks, school buses, transit buses, shuttle buses, freight switchers, ferries and tugs, medium trucks, airport ground support equipment, forklifts, port cargo handling equipment, and diesel emissions reduction initiatives. Respondents are asked to provide details on the make, model, year, engine specifications, and usage data for their existing equipment as well as proposed replacement or repowered equipment, including technology/fuel options, costs, and projected usage.

The RFI does not include pricing terms, set asides, or award details. It is focused on gathering information to help the Commonwealth of Massachusetts determine how to best utilize its VW Settlement funding allocation for vehicle and equipment replacements and emissions reduction projects within the state.
