The City of Chino Hills solicited competitive bids and awarded the bid to the lowest responsible bidder.
The objective of the project was to purchase one (1) medium-duty Ford Club Wagon equipped with a Ford 5.4L 255 hp V-8 CNG engine. This vehicle will be used to shuttle residents to activities and facilities within the community and will also be used for local excursions. The vehicle has a life expectancy of 10 years with an estimated 12,000 miles annually.
The City took delivery of the 15-passenger CNG van on June 2, 2002. No substantial problems were encountered during the project. The City is in the process of building a time fill CNG fuel station.
