Both of these diesel engine powered <br /> vehicles are also subject to replacement requirements as mandated by the California Air Resources Board <br /> BACT (Best Available Control Technology) rules. <br /> Piggybacks or State Contract CMAS pricing will be utilized in the procurement of these vehicles. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The replacement cost for the two vehicles is estimated at $250,000. Sufficient funds are budgeted and <br /> available in the Water Automotive Equipment Fund Account No. 6205000-462100. <br /> Prepared by: Kevin S.
