DocuSign Envelope ID:78958EB7-5B02-4CA0-8EAF-F3E892A7B33B 2019 Clean Fuel Advanced Technology Proposal Application Orange County Public Transportation to provide administrative support, tracking, and reporting on this project throughout the reporting period (see Bouma's resume in Attachment 9). Plan for Deliverables Plan for Task#1 Acquisition 1 Installation of Equipment with Documentation of Work. The steps to prepare grant-funded equipment and sites for each element of the project are listed below. None of these elements require ground disturbance or concrete cutting: • Lease Vehicle PHEV Upgrade:A 2-year lease of one 2019 Chevy Volt will be procured from an approved vendor per Orange County's Procurement Manual (see Attachment 8). The incremental cost determination detailed in the Budget (Attachment 2) is based on quotes received from Enterprise showing the difference in monthly costs between a 2019 Chevy Volt (106 mpge*) and a comparable 2019 Chevy Cruze (32 mpg*)over a two year lease. The Volt was selected due to its suitability for long-range or short-range travel as well as the fact that its final assembly is in U.& This ]eased vehicle will replace a 2001 Chevy Malibu (21 mpg*)which is currently part of the County's CarShare shared vehicle program. The CarShare program is a telematics-enabled distributed vehicle reservation program similar to ZipCar that is open to all Orange County employees with a valid license. Given that most CarShare trips are well within the 53 mile all- electric limit of the 2019 Volt's batteries, the Volt is expected to run on battery power 80%of the time. Once a contract is in place, Orange County will inspect and take delivery of the vehicle, add NC Smart Fleet labelling, and once it is cleared for use it will be delivered to its parking space. In advance of its delivery, the County will mark its reserved parking space with appropriate CarShare program signage (See Figure 3) by mounting to an existing parking deck wail. * MPG ratings listed here are from fueleconomy.gov ■ Irreparable EVSE Replacement: A final quote will be developed with a state contract vendor per Orange County's Procurement Manual (see Attachment 8). Once a contract is in place, the vendor will remove irreparable EATON charging stations and pedestals, reconfigure mounting brackets, and install new pedestal-mounted EVSE. Once the new EVSE are commissioned, Orange County will add NC Smart Fleet labelling and they will be placed into service. On average during the last year the usage of the County's 2 networked EVSE was 3,873 kWh. Multiplying this by the 12 EVSE to be replaced though this proposal gives an estimated 46,476 kWh of EV charging. Maintenance and upkeep of these EVSE should be minimal. Their operation will be monitored remotely by the Sustainability Coordinator and repairs will be completed as needed by Asset Management Services,with warranty repairs covered by Clipper Creek. • Standalone Solar EVSE: A due diligence search will be conducted to identify all vendors who can supply standalone solar charging for 3 electric vehicles without requiring ground disturbance or concrete cutting. Then a vendor will be selected either through a bid process or sole source contracting process per Orange County's Procurement Manual (see Attachment 8). Once approved and a contract is in place,the vendor will deliver, assemble, and commission the solar canopy, battery pack and EVSE. This includes sending personnel to offload with a 15,0001b capacity forklift, un-stow the pre-assembled unit and make it operational. Orange County will then add NC Smart Fleet labelling and this standalone solar EVSE will be placed into service. Based North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center 4
