Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Prepare a technical memorandum that builds upon SCAG’s warehousing report referenced in Section I of this RFP. This memorandum should provide further classification and analysis of warehouse types, with a qualitative description of how each warehouse type may respond to an indirect source rule. The proposal should outline how the Contractor will incorporate relevant industry information to fulfill this task. 2. Prepare a technical memorandum that evaluates the warehousing real estate market (capacity, growth potential, etc.) in adjacent metropolitan areas such as the high desert area of Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and other areas and how those markets could respond to a SCAQMD indirect source rule. 3. Prepare a technical memorandum profiling truck fleets that serve warehouses and distribution centers in the local and adjacent regions. The memorandum will: a. Based on fleet data that can be provided confidentially by SCAQMD or other supplementary data provided by the Contractor, estimate the population and characteristics of the truck fleets carrying inbound and outbound freight from warehouses and distribution centers. To the extent data is available, fleet characteristic shall include but are not limited to fleet operation type, fleet size, vehicle age, vehicle classification, fuel technology, etc. Given the hundreds of thousands of trucks operating in the air basin, this task should present very broad categorizations of truck fleets operating at warehouses (e.g., refrigerated, over the road, less than truckload, independent owner-operators vs. large fleets, etc.) b. Identify and report any business operation pattern, such as certain categories of truck fleets serving certain types of warehouses and distribution centers.
