Dallas L. Hoffer, Contract Specialist, (208) 526-0014; U.S. Department

BACKGROUND: DOE continues to support work directed toward providing the
nation with viable alternatives to the internal combustion engine (ICE)
as an energy source for transportation.
The Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Site Operator Program was chartered
to provide DOE assistance and support in the test and evaluation of new
technologies, which includes new vehicles and components, as they
become available. The work anticipated under the new award is expected
to have a significant impact towards meeting that goal. The project
will benefit the public in two ways. First, it will provide for the
test and evaluation of vehicle designs, furthering the effort to
provide the nation with a commercially viable electric vehicle, and
second, it will support the objectives of the Los Angeles Basin Clean
Air Initiative to identify and test alternate fueled vehicles. The non-
competitive award justification is Criteria (A) and (B) of 10 CFR
600.7(b)(2)(i), as follows:
(A) The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory
completion of, or is a continuation or renewal of, and activity
presently being funded by DOE or another Federal agency, and for which
completion for support would have a significant adverse effect on
continuity or completion of the activity.
(B) The activity(ies) is (are) being or would be conducted by the
applicant using its own resources or those donated or provided by third
parties; however, DOE support of that activity would enhance the public
benefits to be derived and DOE knows of no other entity which is
conducting or is planning to conduct such an activity(ies). The
Statutory Authority for the new award is Public Law 95-224 and Public
Law 97-258 to enter into discretionary financial assistance; Public Law
93-577, Federal Non-Nuclear Energy R&D Act of 1974.
