DATE: January 9, 2024
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Prepared By: Lucia Pohlman, Sustainability and Natural Resources Analyst
VIA: Derek Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: 5.d PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRIBUTION EASEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE
FAST CHARGER INFRASTRUCTURE ON CITY -OWNED PROPERTY
Staff received the following questions from a Council Member. The questions are below
with staff's response shown in italics:
1) Will all of the new chargers resulting from the EV charging infrastructure project be
DC fast chargers?
Yes, the new chargers will all be DCFC Level 3 ChargePoint CPE250s.
2) Is part of the partnership with Valta selling or otherwise giving the existing Level 2
ChargePoint chargers in the Marsh Street Parking Structure to Valta, to operate in
addition to the new fast chargers, for the duration of this agreement? If so, is there
actual money changing hands, or is the City giving Valta the rights to
operate/maintaining, etc. those chargers as well?
The City's executed license agreement with Valta provided a framework to transfer
the ownership of the 19 existing Level 2 chargers in the Marsh Street Parking
Structure through a separate bill of sale and assignment and assumption
agreement. A qualified third party will appraise the value of the existing chargers
as well as the cost of any necessary repairs/refurbishment. Valta will pay the City
for the net value of the chargers. This appraisal and transfer has not yet been
initiated, but the process is scheduled to begin in Q2 of 2024.
