Kentucky Reaches Out to Natural Gas Vehicle Dealers
7.11.2012 -
The National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO)
and its fifty-six member states are drafting a Request for
Proposal for the purchase of OEM natural gas vehicles. The lead
state for this effort is Oklahoma. We anticipate that the
solicitation will be released later this month and notices will
appear on this website and on the websites of at least 20
states. Responses will be due to Oklahoma (as the lead state) in
late August/early September.
This effort was begun in April with the
release of an RFI (announced on this website) by Colorado.
As of today, 20 states have indicated an Intent to Participate
in this effort, including: Colorado, Connecticut,
Hawaii,
Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine,
Minnesota,
Mississippi,
Montana,
Nevada,
New
Mexico, Ohio,
Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania,
South
Carolina, Texas,
Uath,
Vermont, West Virginia
and Wyoming.
If you are a dealer who does or can or wants to potentially
provide OEM natural gas vehicles to any of these states we
strongly encourage you to contact your OEM and get certified to
provide warranty repair services for NGV’s. We understand that
this certification can take some time and potential responders
will have to be certified in order be able to submit compliant
responses. We would encourage potential dealer responders to act
NOW.
If you have any questions, please contact us at
wncoopdt@gmail.com.
UPDATE (10.12.12) - We
are encouraged by what’s happening in regards to the bids
that came in for the CNG
initiative. OK and CO have made great strides in this
area. For Kentucky, we continue to look at initiatives
at the state level to stimulate demand for alternative
fueled vehicles. Right now Kentucky’s CNG vehicle purchase
level is relatively small, which translates into a fairly
small need for CNG fuel purchases. As CNG vehicles are
added to the state fleet or local government fleets, this
will spur the need for more fueling stations.
