DocuSign Envelope ID:2A1A1 B97-7E12-4D08-A7FA-F9FBEB801815 <br /> ATTACHMENT A—SCOPE OF WORK <br /> Purpose: <br /> Snohomish Public Utility District (PUD)will partner with Everett Transit (ET)to install an en-route inductive charging <br /> station as a demonstration project for the ET service area, and other regional transit agencies and fleets. This project <br /> supports strategic objectives of the PUD's Electric Transportation Plan, and the City of Everett's (City) Climate Action <br /> Plan. <br /> Project goals include: <br /> 1) Successfully install one in-ground inductive electric bus charger to be in service for a minimum of five years and fully <br /> utilized by ET buses upon installation; <br /> 2) Extend daily electric bus utilization from a current rate of 80% to 100% to equate to diesel-bus utilization; and <br /> 3) Evaluate and implement load management strategies compatible with transit service requirements to optimize the <br /> electric grid for this and related EV charging technologies. <br /> ET's next purchase of electric buses is planned for 2022 and will include nine buses with inductive charging capability, so <br /> buses stay in service all day. This proposed project will provide en-route charging capability during bus layovers at <br /> Eclipse Mill Park. On any given day two to three inductive charging buses would be assigned to this route, six to seven <br /> days a week. This project will serve as a demonstration site for future en-route charging projects in ET and PUD service <br /> areas. <br /> The project will be integrated into outreach and education associated with the City of Everett Climate Action Plan and <br /> existing PUD educational programming. PUD will partner with ET to install educational signage at the charging site. <br /> Through ET's relationship with the Imagine Children's Museum in Everett, lessons will be added on inductive charging to <br /> the museum's EV curriculum. <br /> ET's commitment to expanding its electrified bus fleet and collaborating with the PUD will increase PUD's knowledge of <br /> charging infrastructure and drive customer process improvements for both municipal and commercial fleets charging <br /> needs. This project will inform other public transit system's electrification expansion while supporting the PUD in meeting <br /> charging infrastructure needs. <br /> Specifically, the PUD plans to gain experience from this project to understand: <br /> • Capacity and demand impacts due to en-route fast-charging of buses compared to conventional depot charging. <br /> These impacts will be evaluated at the resource, transmission and feeder level of the system. <br /> • Opportunities for load management; and <br /> • If current rate structures are compatible with en-route induction charging patterns, including a new PUD Time of Day <br /> rate for which ET is a pilot participant. <br /> The PUD plans to work with ET to deploy the following load management approaches for this project: <br /> • Load shifting away from peak load times. <br /> • Utilizing a Time of Day rate or other rate structure to incentivize load shifting and/or mitigate for excessive demand <br /> charges. <br /> Major Components <br /> Quantity Description Site(s) Affected <br /> 1 In-ground inductive electric bus charger Eclipse Mill Park <br /> Description of Miscellaneous Major Cost Items <br /> In-ground inductive electric bus charger consists of transformer, switch gear, charging cabinet, and charging system <br /> (pads). <br /> Project Siting <br /> The project will be located at the new Eclipse Mill Park, 3535 Riverfront Boulevard Everett, WA 98201. The site is <br /> adjacent to a highly impacted community and sensitive waterway, the Snohomish River. 250 income-qualified housing <br /> units are planned in the adjacent community. The Waterfront-Riverfront route serves a highly vulnerable community, with <br /> 20% of the population residing within 1/4 mile of the route falling below the federal poverty level. The Riverfront site is a <br /> former landfill and the site of the historic 1984 Everett tire fire. This innovative charging system aligns with this <br /> neighborhoods' environmental and socioeconomic revitalization by powering ET's buses with clean reliable energy. The <br /> t was identified as a bus zone duringthe design phase of the Riverfront development project. City staff was informed of <br /> site g <br /> the potential for inductive charging and included as an option in the master plan. <br /> Contract#«Contract Number» 17 Electrification of Transportation Systems <br />
