A solar-powered electric vehicle charger with battery backup; 2.) Replacing the County’s 12 <br />remaining original electric vehicle charging stations; and 3.) Upgrading a two year lease to an electric <br />vehicle for the Orange County CarShare program. The Board of Orange County Commissioners <br />approved our acceptance of the award on September 3rd and the funding agreement was sent to us <br />from the funder on October 28th. This funding agreement is attached for your review and approval. <br /> <br />This grant comes from NC State University’s Clean Fuel Advanced Technology program, which is <br />administered by the North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center and is sponsored by the NC <br />Department of Transportation with funding from the federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality program. <br /> <br />Orange County will provide 20%, or $36,812, in cost share. The base costs for the 2-year vehicle lease <br />will come from Orange County Transportation Services vehicle procurement funds. <br /> <br />The attached funding agreement was reviewed by County Attorney John Roberts, and was approved to <br />be routed for your review and signature. <br /> <br /> <br />Best Regards: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Brennan Bouma <br />Sustainability Coordinator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> DocuSign Envelope ID: 78958EB7-5B02-4CA0-8EAF-F3E892A7B33B
