Clean Diesel Grant No. G1400386 between the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Port of Seattle PART 2. PROGRAM BACKGROUND Information regarding the Washington State Clean Diesel Grant Program, including grant guidelines, current priorities, eligibility, application forms and instructions, and current and past awards can be found at the Washington Department of Ecology's Clean Diesel Grant Program webpage: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/cars/DieselGrantPage.htm Project Summary Background: The Port of Seattle's Clean Truck Program was created in response to the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy (CAS), a voluntary program to reduce seaport-related diesel emissions in the region. The CAS specifies truck engine emission performance targets for years 2010 and 2017 for trucks that visit the Port of Seattle to deliver or take cargo. The Port of Seattle provides incentives for truckers to meet the emission performance targets. General Project Scope: This project will provide monetary incentives to owners of approximately 183 older (model year 1994 2006) drayage trucks serving the Port of Seattle marine terminals to scrap the older trucks and replace with trucks having 2007 model year engine or newer. Upon advance approval by the DEPARTMENT alternatives to scrapping and replacing may be allowed, such as replacing only the engine of the truck (known as repowering) or providing exhaust retrofits. Incentive amount for alternatives may be set at different amounts than incentives for scrapping and replacing. Conducting and managing the day to day activities of the project and conducting independent audits of the project will be performed by a consultant and/or a local government sub-recipient. Consultant services will be acquired through a competitive procurement process. Sub-recipient services will be contracted through a contract agreement. The monetary incentive is estimated at around $20,000 per truck. Old engines will be scrapped or otherwise rendered unusable. In addition, consultant and/or sub-recipient fees to manage and conduct the project (e.g. processing trucker applications, process and manage scrapping and incentive payout, reporting, and auditing) are estimated at $4,461.85 per truck. RECIPIENT costs for general administration of project are estimated at $613.50 per truck. This $4,587,281 project is funded by multiple sources including a $3,535,498 federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant from the Federal Highways Administration, $551,783 in matching funds from the RECIPIENT, and this Ecology Clean Diesel grant of $500,000. Ecology's Clean Diesel Grant funds will be used to pay 10.9 percent of all eligible project costs. Eligible project costs include a monetary incentive paid to truck owners to scrap and replace their old truck, or other allowed alternative; consultant and/or sub-recipient costs for managing, conducting and auditing the project; and RECIPIENT administration of the project (staff time, benefits and overhead). The main purpose of this grant is to provide funding for the Clean Truck Program Incentive project at the Port of Seattle. However, this grant may also be used to fund other diesel emission reduction projects as approved in advance by the DEPARTMENT. Diesel emission reduction projects at ports will be given precedence.

Despite the above, the RECIPIENT shall not be relieved of any liability to the DEPARTMENT for damages sustained by the DEPARTMENT and/or the State of Washington because of any breach of agreement by the RECIPIENT. The DEPARTMENT may withhold payments for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due the DEPARTMENT from the RECIPIENT is determined. 2. Insufficient Funds. The obligation of the DEPARTMENT to make payments is contingent on the availability of state and federal funds through legislative appropriation and state allotment. When this agreement crosses over state fiscal years the obligation of the DEPARTMENT is contingent upon the appropriation of funds during the next fiscal year. The failure to appropriate or allot such funds shall be good cause to terminate this agreement as provided in paragraph K.1 above. When this agreement crosses the RECIPIENT's fiscal year, the obligation of the RECIPIENT to continue or complete the project described herein shall be contingent upon appropriation of funds by the RECIPIENT's governing body; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude the DEPARTMENT from demanding repayment of ALL funds paid to the RECIPIENT in accordance with Section O herein. 3. Failure to Commence Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails to commence work on the project funded herein within four months after the effective date of this agreement, or by any date agreed upon in writing for commencement of work, the DEPARTMENT reserves the right to terminate this agreement. L. WAIVER Waiver of any RECIPIENT default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. Waiver of a breach of any provision of this agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent breach and will not be construed as a modification of the terms of this agreement unless stated as such in writing by the authorized representative of the DEPARTMENT. M. PROPERTY RIGHTS 1. Copyrights and Patents. When the RECIPIENT creates any copyrightable materials or invents any patentable property, the RECIPIENT may copyright or patent the same but the DEPARTMENT retains a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, recover or otherwise use the material(s) or property and to authorize others to use the same for federal, state or local government purposes. Where federal funding is involved, the federal government may have a proprietary interest in patent rights to any inventions that are developed by the RECIPIENT as provided in 35 U.S.C. 200-212. 2. Publications. When the RECIPIENT or persons employed by the RECIPIENT use or publish information of the DEPARTMENT; present papers, lectures, or seminars involving information supplied by the DEPARTMENT; use logos, reports, maps or other data, in printed reports, signs, brochures, pamphlets, etc., appropriate credit shall be given to the DEPARTMENT. ~8~ Clean Diesel Grant No. G1400386 Appendix A between the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Port of Seattle 3. Tangible Property Rights. The DEPARTMENT's current edition of "Administrative Requirements for Recipients of Ecology Grants and Loans", Part V, shall control the use and disposition of all real and personal property purchased wholly or in part with funds furnished by the DEPARTMENT in the absence of state, federal statute(s), regulation(s), or policy(s) to the contrary or upon specific instructions with respect thereto in the Scope of Work. 4. Personal Property Furnished by the DEPARTMENT. When the DEPARTMENT provides personal property directly to the RECIPIENT for use in performance of the project, it shall be returned to the DEPARTMENT prior to final payment by the DEPARTMENT. If said property is lost, stolen or damaged while in the RECIPIENT's possession, the DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed in cash or by setoff by the RECIPIENT for the fair market value of such property. 5. Acquisition Projects. The following provisions shall apply if the project covered by this agreement includes funds for the acquisition of land or facilities: a. Prior to disbursement of funds provided for in this agreement, the RECIPIENT shall establish that the cost of land/or facilities is fair and reasonable. b. The RECIPIENT shall provide satisfactory evidence of title or ability to acquire title for each parcel prior to disbursement of funds provided by this agreement. Such evidence may include title insurance policies, Torrens certificates, or abstracts, and attorney's opinions establishing that the land is free from any impediment, lien, or claim which would impair the uses contemplated by this agreement. 6. Conversions. Regardless of the contract termination date shown on the cover sheet, the RECIPIENT shall not at any time convert any equipment, property or facility acquired or developed pursuant to this agreement to uses other than those for which assistance was originally approved without prior written approval of the DEPARTMENT. Such approval may be conditioned upon payment to the DEPARTMENT of that portion of the proceeds of the sale, lease or other conversion or encumbrance which monies granted pursuant to this agreement bear to the total acquisition, purchase or construction costs of such property. N. SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS In order to sustain Washington's natural resources and ecosystems, the RECIPIENT is encouraged to implement sustainable practices where and when possible. These practices include use of clean energy, and purchase and use of sustainably produced products (e.g., recycled paper). For more information, see http://www.ecy.wa.gov/sustainability/. O. RECOVERY OF PAYMENTS TO RECIPIENT The right of the RECIPIENT to retain monies paid to it as reimbursement payments is contingent upon satisfactory performance of this agreement including the satisfactory completion of the project described in the Scope of Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails, for any reason, to perform obligations required of it by this agreement, the RECIPIENT may, at the DEPARTMENT's sole discretion, be required to repay to the DEPARTMENT all grant/loan funds disbursed to the RECIPIENT for those parts of the project that are rendered worthless in the opinion of the DEPARTMENT by such failure to perform. Interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year from the time the DEPARTMENT demands repayment of funds. If payments have been discontinued by the DEPARTMENT due to insufficient funds as in Section K.2 above, the RECIPIENT shall not be obligated to repay monies which had been paid to the RECIPIENT prior to such termination. Any property acquired under this agreement, at the option of the DEPARTMENT, may become the DEPARTMENT'S property and the RECIPIENT'S liability to repay monies shall be reduced by an amount reflecting the fair value of such property.
