  • Abstract:
    The state of Rhode Island general law ; “The Diesel Emission Reduction Act” ; required a pilot project be undertaken to ; gain a better understanding of the ; impact of this legislative act. ; The Rhode Island Department of ; Transportation (RIDOT) was named the ; responsible party to commission and ; fund the pilot project. The pilot project ; was funded under a force account as ; part of the overall construction budget ; for the Waterfront Drive Project from ; Warren Avenue to Dexter Street in East ; Providence, RI. The force account was ; established by internal RIDOT engineers ; based upon best known practices. The ; force account established equated to ; 3.1% of the overall estimated ; construction cost of this phase of the ; project. ; The pilot project was granted to the ; University of Rhode Island (URI). The ; focus was to gain insight into the retrofit ; process and to determine the most ; appropriate level of emission control ; and best practices needed to reduce ; diesel emissions on Public Works ; Projects. The outcomes have been ; utilized to better define the retrofit ; process for off road diesel construction ; equipment and to develop a road map ; for the State of Rhode Island to outline ; the most feasible and cost effective ; approach for reducing diesel particulate ; matter (PM) in the legacy fleet of ; construction equipment.
