1.2 vehicle operational and maintenance costs expected over its anticipated life in comparison to traditional diesel engine driven counterparts. The following subtasks are envisioned for completing Task 2. Subtask 2.1—Develop Fuel/Energy Cost Models CEM, in conjunction with Everett Transit and their local electric utility,will develop energy cost models for the electric bus. The energy costs models will rely on data from the CEM analysis performed under Task 1. CEM will rely on Everett Transit fleet managers to work with their local utility to provide utility rate models that CEM may implement to determine the most cost effective solution for the fleet. Subtask 2.2—Determine Vehicle Life Cycle Cost CEM,with assistance from Everett Transit fleet managers,will assemble data to develop an overall vehicle life cycle cost model. The model will included fuel/energy costs, as well as operations and maintenance costs. Models will be constructed for the proposed alternative fueled vehicle and its fossil fuel counterpart to provide an overall comparative analysis. CEM will rely on Everett Transit to provide cost estimates for the electric buses,chargers, and battery replacement from their vendor communications. If the bus cost information cannot be obtain, CEM will provide estimates based on publicly available information. Task 3—Fleet Emissions Study CEM will work closely with Everett Transit fleet managers to assess the emission and economic benefits of the electric buses under consideration. The results generated by CEM in Task 1 will provide the basis for the vehicle fuel consumption and emissions study. The following subtasks are envisioned for completing Task 3. Subtask 3.1—Develop Emissions Models CEM will work closely with Everett Transit fleet managers to obtain emissions performance data on the proposed alternative fuel vehicle and its fossil fuel counterpart. This data will include an emissions profile based on the energy and fuel consumptions of the vehicles resulting from powertrain simulations by CEM in Task 1. Subtask 3.2—Determine Emissions and Economic Benefits Using models developed in Subtasks 3.1, CEM will perform a comparative analysis of the emissions profile of the proposed alternative fuel vehicles versus their fossil fuel counterpart along the selected routes. The emissions analysis will focus on greenhouse gas and NO„emissions. Task 4—Fleet Implementation Considerations CEM will complete a final report documenting results and considerations for an Everett Transit electric bus fleet implementation. The final report will be submitted to Everett Transit within 30 days of the project end data. 13 72
