Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the Third Amendment to the professional consultant agreement with Stantec Architecture, Inc., (Stantec) to redesign the 65 percent electric bus charging infrastructure design documents to accommodate primary electrical service through PG&E EV Fleet Program in the amount of $73,987 and authorize the Director of Transportation or designee to execute all related documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Transportation (FAX) seeks the approval of a Third Amendment to an Agreement with Stantec to redesign 65 percent design development drawings to coordinate with PG&E new electric vehicle readiness program, EV Fleet. This program will provide 12KV primary electrical utility service to the FAX bus yard to support the Electric Bus Charging Project. This program enables PG&E to upgrade utility infrastructure to support the FAX electric bus charging needs at no cost to FAX. The additional costs for professional engineering services is offset by the substantial savings resulting in eliminating infrastructure costs and rebates offered by PG&E to purchase electric bus charging equipment and transit vehicles. This scope change has been requested by FAX due to the immediate overall project savings and the long term benefits offered by the PG&E EV Fleet Program.
