2.B. Provide a timeline plan for this project and include any City of Everett staff time <br />requirements. (cont.) <br />Consistent with City of Everett Responsibilities noted in the RFP (2.7), City staff time will be required for participating in the <br />kickoff meeting and check-in meetings at a frequency confirmed by the City during the kickoff (anticipated as potentially <br />bi-weekly), obtaining transit and fleet data, and reviewing the Draft, Final Draft, and Final Fleet Electrification Transition <br />Plan. <br />Having worked at local and state public agencies, and with transit agencies and operators of all sizes, our team will be <br />mindful to streamline the time required of City staff to the extent possible, while working collaboratively with City staff to <br />meet the priority project schedule. <br />2.C. How will we benefit from your approach? <br />Key benefits to the approach outlined in the preceding sections include: <br />• Our team covers all technical aspects of the modeling, analysis, and assessment elements with leading state of the <br />practice in most areas. <br />• The approach is designed so that technical teams and specialists focus on key Fleet Electrification Transition Plan <br />components that are advancing concurrently, while data sharing and cross-coordination is built in to optimize task <br />execution. <br />• We leverage deep expertise in each area and relevant experience, including in Washington state to add value <br />through analysis and recommendations informed by best and regionally relevant practices. <br />• Our team and coordination approach facilitates collaboration and enables us to meet the City’s schedule and hard <br />deadlines. <br />• Cutting edge BEV technology resources made accessible to Everett Transit. Our team’s services come with a one- <br />year (post-completion) limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to MGL’s EVOPT easy-to-use fleet transition <br />software package and training for Everett Transit staff, allowing our team to develop the plan and for Everett Transit <br />staff to conduct additional analyses and implementation support at later stages of the transition. <br />• GIS-based climate, emissions, and EV analysis tools complement core fleet modeling and allow for evaluation of <br />charging infrastructure against considerations such as climate hazards, resiliency, and equity of BEV service. <br />26 <br />26
