To get a grant, you must receive an Approval Packet prior to purchasing the vehicle and comply with all program requirements throughout the program term. The grant will be given to the dealer to lower the overall cost of the new or used clean vehicle. Classification is based on community exposure and vulnerability to pollution, among other factors. We give grants, not rebates.
What makes a grant different? In practice, the public owner can be expected to need instruction from the contractor on the specifics of what is being purchased. It is suggested that a reasonable degree of cooperation must occur between the public owner and contractor on descriptions and technical information on items purchased.
This purchase order process should follow a deductive change order under which the purchase price and applicable tax for direct purchase materials are deducted from the contract price. However, additional administrative cost burden and project time often will be absorbed by the contractor to pace the process, particularly considering the extent of cooperative collaboration required to coordinate direct purchases and schedule matters.
The administrative burden only increases if the contractor already initiated and executed purchase orders, which must be cancelled and reissued to the public owner. Some manufacturers may provide material warranties that in the usual course rely on their subcontractor relationships or exclusive distributors for installation and may view a direct sale as disruptive to that relationship.
Such wrinkles can take even more time, effort, and cost to resolve but should be resolvable. This is sensible, since the public owner itself is making the purchase from the vendor. Neither the contractor nor subcontractors can sell the direct purchased materials and then install those materials. Compliance is not achieved by the contractor or a subcontractor issuing payment for the public owner. This means the contractor or subcontractor cannot include sums in its pay applications for direct purchases and then pay the vendor from sums received from the public owner when the pay application is paid.
Passage of Title: It is paramount for an exempt transaction that the public owner assumes the risk of damage or loss for the purchase items at the time of purchase. The public owner is deemed to assume that risk of loss if the public owner bears the financial burden of obtaining paying for insurance on the purchased items.
The policy and its conditions and exclusions should be checked in the event of an off-site casualty loss for which the public owner bears the risk of loss. It is suggested the purchase order state that such insurance costs are within the purchase price and thus paid by the public owner when this is the case.
The main point is that various types of existing insurance, provided through others but paid directly or indirectly by the public owner, may cover the damage or loss to the purchased materials and allow the public owner to enjoy the financial benefit of those insurance proceeds. Devices are limited and will be distributed based on eligibility criteria including age and income, and having one of the risk factors for isolation, such as mobility issues; limited English skills; functional impairment; living alone; or living in a care facility.
