Home My WebLink AboutItem 5i. Authorization to Advertise Revised Transit Facility Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Project. Item 5i Department: Public Works Cost Center: 5201 For Agenda of: 11/15/2022 Placement: Consent Estimated Time: N/A FROM: Matt Horn, Public Works Director Prepared By: Shelsie Moore, Supervising Civil Engineer SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE THE REVISED TRANSIT FACILITY ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT, SPECIFICATION 1000535 RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve the revised project plans and specifications for the Transit Facility Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, Specification Number 1000535; and, 2. Authorize staff to advertise the revised project plans and specifications for bids; and, 3. Appropriate $500,000 from the available Transit Fund Working Capital Balance to the project account (1000535); and, 4. Appropriate $898,093 of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Section 5307 SLO Transit EV Infrastructure funds to the project account (1000535); and, 5. Authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract pursuant to Section 3.24.190 of the Municipal Code for the bid total, if the lowest responsible bid is within the available project budget; and, 6. Authorize the City Engineer to approve Contract Change Orders up to the available project budget. POLICY CONTEXT This project supports the Major City Goal of Climate Action, Open Space and Sustainable Transportation by implementing a shift from fossil fuel powered buses to an all-electric fleet. The project progresses the City towards the goal of being carbon neutral by 2030 as identified in the San Luis Obispo’s Climate Action Plan (CAP). On May 17, 2022, Council approved a Purchasing Policy Update which requires Council approval for Public Projects with a value of $200,000 or more. DISCUSSION Background On March 15, 2022, Council approved staff’s recommendation to advertise the Transit Facility Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure project. The approved project included Page 315 of 697 Item 5i construction of the electric vehicle infrastructure needed to support the charging requirements for two zero emission buses (ZEBs) that have been ordered and are pending manufacturer delivery. It also included installation of electrical conduit and concrete bus bays necessary for the future expansion of the electric bus fleet for up to twenty ZEBs. The project was originally designed with a bid alternate to construct infrastructure improvements for another four-bus bay and two charger facilities to the east of the existing Transit Maintenance Building. Revised Project Scope Prior to finalizing the project design, staff conducted several site visits to confirm existing conditions and identify any remaining constructability limitations. During this evaluation, staff unfortunately determined that extensive pavement degradation would likely make clean pavement joints as designed unachievable, requiring the contractor to expand the project’s planned asphalt removal and replacement at a now unknown cost to the City due to it being much more significant than was included in the original project design. Staff therefore recommends revising the project scope to include replacement of the deteriorated asphalt in the project scope of work (See Attachment A). Expanding the limits of pavement maintenance work with this project will increase the overall project cost, but the City will receive a more cost-effective price for the work by including it in the bid documents. Additionally, staff recommends removing the option of having an additive alternate in the bid documents and making the entire pavement work part of the base bid due to the need for electrical infrastructure and site improvements accommodating full expansion of the ZEB fleet. The additional project scope, as well as the time it has been taking to be in coordination with PG&E on the necessary electrical infrastructure upgrades, has delayed advertisement and award of the project (that part never started even though staff had Council’s authorization). The recommended revised project plans (Attachment B) and specifications (Attachment C) will now better meet more of the needs of the Transit Facility as it begins the conversion to an all electric fleet . Staff have increased the cost estimate of the project to account for higher bid prices seen throughout this year due to increases in construction materials and labor. Previous Council or Advisory Body Action This project was identified in the 2021-23 Financial Plan that was approved by Council. Then, staff presented this project to Council on March 15, 2022, and received approval at that time to bid the then project. Additionally, on June 7, 2022, City Council authorized the Public Works Director to apply for local, state, and federal grants that benefit the City’s Transit Program through June 30, 2023. Public Engagement Page 316 of 697 Item 5i Public engagement was incorporated with the identification of this project as part of the 2021-23 Financial Plan. CONCURRENCE This project has the concurrence of the Administration and Public Works Departments including the Interim Transit Manager. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because this project proposes to work within the exiting transit facility. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable City Regulations. A Notice of Exemption has been filed with the Community Development Department. Staff is also proposing to federalize this project through the use of American Rescue Plan (ARP) Formula Funds (ARP Section 5307 SLO Transit EV Infrastructure Funds ). The project is exempt from NEPA review under the Categorical Exclusions (C-List) Class II(c) for Type 08: maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of facilities that occupy substantially the same geographic footprint and do not result in a change of functional use.

The ARP funding and LCTOP funding identified in the table above has been secured by the Transit Division. Staff is requesting to appropriate $898,093 from the ARP Funding and $500,000 from the Transit Fund Working Capital Balance to complete the project. Per the project table above, there is sufficient funding identified to complete construction of the revised project. Therefore, staff recommends appropriating funds to complete maintenance around the new bus parking pad with this project. ALTERNATIVES Council could decide not to authorize staff to advertise the revised project. The City Council could choose not to authorize the appropriation of funds for the revised Transit Facility Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Project and authorize staff to advertise the project for bids. Staff does not recommend this option, as the transit facility requires Page 318 of 697 Item 5i significant infrastructure to be installed in order to charge the electric buses that have been ordered to begin compliance with the City’s Climate Action Plan.
