The Lindsay Unified School District features a school bus fleet of nine buses. Of the nine school buses, two are Compressed Natural Gas buses. Lindsay Unified School District also has a Compressed Natural Gas Cargo Van, in which their technology staff serves the community. The Compressed Natural Gas fueling infrastructure at Lindsay Unified School District became inoperable, rendering the district unable to fuel their vehicles on-site. The parts to repair the compressor were no longer being manufactured leaving the district to fully replace their fueling infrastructure.
After being awarded funding from the California Energy Commission, Lindsay Unified School District seized the opportunity to upgrade their existing Compressed Natural Gas station. The School District went through a formal bidding process to obtain a qualified contractor. The submitted project bids were reviewed and the project was awarded to the lowest bidder, Fastech.
There were several obstacles during the project, but Lindsay Unified School District is thankful to have the Compressed Natural Gas station replaced.
