<br />CFAT grant funds will also allow the County to replace 12 failing, increasingly incompatible, and <br />irreparable EATON electric vehicle charging stations with updated stations from the State <br />Contract. This will reinforce Orange County’s promotion of electric vehicles by enabling newer <br />electric vehicles to charge which are blocked by current firmware incompatibilities. It will also <br />restore the reliability of Orange County’s public charging network. <br /> <br />Finally, these grant funds will allow Orange County to purchase a standalone solar EV charging <br />station which will allow Orange County Transportation Services to charge the three (3) plug-in <br />hybrid minivans which will form the backbone of the new mobility-on-demand program. This <br />improvement will fully-charge the batteries for those vehicles and enable them to travel a total of <br />100 miles per day on renewable solar energy without connecting to the grid. It will also be a <br />critical demonstration project as the County implements its commitment to transition to 100% <br />renewable energy by 2050. The grant project period of performance extends through January <br />2022. <br /> <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County will provide 20%, or $36,812 in cost share, for this 2019 <br />CFAT grant project funding award of $147,247. The cost share is contributed toward an overall <br />project total of $184,059. The required 20% matching funds for the grant are available in the <br />Asset Management Services budget. The base costs for the 2-year vehicle lease will come <br />from Orange County Transportation Services vehicle procurement funds.
