Feasibility of the Project. The contract has been negotiated and awarded for delivery of 10,000 FFVs nationwide in the first year of the contract. The FFVs are in final design stage. ▇▇▇▇ currently plans to begin delivery of the vehicles by the end of April 2000. The USPS will work closely with its stakeholders, in particular the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, to promote and encourage the development of E-85 fueling at retail fueling stations. The USPS can provide market incentive for retail fueling stations to provide E-85. The USPS can also contract for and receive bulk delivery of E-85 to the facility with a converted on-site underground storage tank. At least two sources of E-85 bulk fuel are presently available. This will provide for immediate E-85 utilization of 71 FFVs.
