2019 ROUND 2 <br />Clean Fuel Advanced Technology (CFAT) <br />Statement of Work <br /> <br />Project Summary: <br />Orange County is proposing to complete a three-part project including: <br />1.) Upgrading a vehicle lease to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) which will be available for <br />use by all Orange County staff through the CarShare program managed by Orange County Asset <br />Management Services, and; <br />2.) Renewing much of Orange County’s public charging network by replacing 12 failing, increasingly <br />incompatible, and irreparable EATON electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE, sometimes <br />referred to as “charging stations”) with 11 updated single-plug EVSE and 1 dual-plug EVSE. This <br />expansion will allow for the County’s first plug-in passenger vehicle to charge, and; <br />3.) Acquiring a standalone solar EVSE that will fully charge 3 PHEV minivans operated by Orange <br />County Public Transportation to serve as ADA-accessible On-Demand Transit vehicles for urban <br />and rural residents. Given that these vehicles will be stationed in a sunny parking lot that is far <br />from an existing grid connection, and given that the County has committed to transitioning to <br />100% renewable energy-based operation by 2050, this charging station solution is ideal. <br />Given his familiarity with the CFAT program, as well as his direct management of the County’s EVSE <br />network and CarShare program, the Orange County Sustainability Coordinator, Brennan Bouma, will <br />manage this project. Bouma will work with the Orange County Asset Management Services as well as <br />Orange County Public Transportation to provide administrative support, tracking, and reporting on this <br />project throughout the reporting period (see Bouma’s resume in Attachment 9). <br /> <br />Plan for Deliverables <br /> <br />Plan for Task #1 Acquisition / Installation of Equipment with Documentation of Work. <br /> <br />The steps to prepare grant-funded equipment and sites for each element of the project are listed below. <br />None of these elements require ground disturbance or concrete cutting: <br /> Lease Vehicle PHEV Upgrade:A 2-year lease of one 2019 Chevy Volt <br />will be procured from an approved vendor per Orange County’s <br />Procurement Manual (see Attachment 8). The incremental cost <br />determination detailed in the Budget (Attachment 2) is based on quotes <br />received from Enterprise showing the difference in monthly costs between <br />a 2019 Chevy Volt (106 mpge*) and a comparable 2019 Chevy Cruze <br />(32 mpg*) over a two year lease. The Volt was selected due to its <br />suitability for long-range or short-range travel as well as the fact that its <br />Figure 1: Orange County <br />CarShare parking sign. <br />6
