DocuSign Envelope ID:78958EB7-5B02-4CA0-8EAF-F3E892A7B33B <br /> 2019 Clean Fuel Advanced Technology Proposal Application <br /> replace the failing and irreparable EATON EVSE to dispense this amount as well, leading to an estimated <br /> total of 46,476 kWh between them. <br /> 5,250 kWh are expected to be dispensed per year by the standalone solar EVSE based on the max solar <br /> capacity for a 4.3kW solar array in this region of North Carolina. Usage of the station by fleet vehicles and <br /> public visitors is expected to use its full capacity. This standalone solar EVSE will be equipped with a <br /> battery that will be able to provide a minimum of 100 miles of all-solar charging per night. These miles will <br /> be shared by 3 PHEV Chrysler Pacifica Minivans operated by Orange County Public Transportation in a <br /> mobility-on-dernand capacity. Each of these vans has an all-electric range of 33 miles. <br /> During the day the solar batteries will recharge before they are needed again by the transit vans, and <br /> Orange County expects this additional capacity to be used by public visitors to the government facility. <br /> Visitor EV charging needs for this #ocation are expected to be lower than other County EVSE locations <br /> due to the lower number of County residents who are directly served by the nearby County Motor Pool <br /> facility and Orange County Public Transportation Office. The additional capacity in the recharging solar <br /> batteries should therefore be sufficient for these needs. <br /> In total, all EVSE proposed in this project are expected to dispense 51,726 kWh annually with 11% (5,250 <br /> kWh) of that energy coming from renewable solar energy. <br /> Statement of Work <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 12 updated single-plug EVSE, 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 /> North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center 3 <br />
