Consider Reduced Scope and Value and One-Year Term Extension by Ravenstein City of Bellflower, Contract #ML12051 ($170,000 – Install Eight Level II EV Charging Stations) The City indicates a preference for installing two Level III/DC Fast Charger stations, rather than the eight Level II station specified in the contract, based on the City’s belief that the fast chargers will be more popular and experience a greater turnover. They are requesting approval to substitute the fast chargers, coupled with a corresponding contract value reduction from $170,000 to $100,000. The City further requests a one-year term extension in order to complete the work. 5. Consider Modified Scope and Six-Month Term Extension by City of Ravenstein Palm Desert, Contract #ML16072 ($56,000 – Install EV Fast-Charging Station) The City has completed installation of a fast-charging station as specified by the contract, at a cost lower than originally projected. While the station meets the requirements of the MSRC contract, the City’s Building and Safety Department determined that it may not satisfy their own accessibility requirements. The City requests to utilize a portion of the cost savings on the fast-charge station towards the installation of an additional, Level II station which would also fulfill their accessibility concerns. The City further requests a six-month term extension in order to complete the work. FYs 2014-16 WORK PROGRAM 6. Consider Application Received under the Near-Zero Heavy-Duty Teebay Natural Gas Engine Incentive Program As an element of their FYs 2014-16 Work Program, the MSRC allocated $10 million to provide incentives for near-zero emission natural gas engines certified to the optional standard for oxides of nitrogen. A Program Announcement was released on June 3, 2016, with a closing date of January 6, 2017. A total of $5,215,000 has been awarded to date. An additional application requesting $600,000 has been received. The MSRC-TAC Heavy Duty Subcommittee recommends an award to Long Beach Transit in an amount not to exceed $600,000 for the purchase of 40 new transit buses. 7. Receive Update on Implementation of Enhanced Fleet Modernization Hogo Program (EFMP) and Consider Potential Reduction of MSRC Allocation In December 2014, the MSRC allocated $800,000 to partner with the SCAQMD in its implementation of the EFMP, which is an old vehicle scrapping and replacement voucher program that includes vouchers for transit passes and a car-sharing program. In September 2015, the MSRC expanded its partnership by allocating additional funding, up to a maximum of $6,201,000. The purpose of this item is to provide an update on the implementation of the program. Based upon the updated information, the MSRC-TAC may choose to consider recommending that the MSRC reduce its previous allocation.
