pricing available at the time of the update. Moreover, this refresh will factor in any new or adjusted vehicle data and fleet or administrative policy furnished by the agency, provided it is presented in a format compatible with ICF's analytical tools. After this refresh, the ICF team will update the fleet transition planning section within the Master Plan. Additionally, we will refine the accompanying data to reflect the latest findings from our fleet assessment. The deliverable will also include the updated recommendations pertaining to vehicle technology choices, EV replacements, the TCO analysis, and the overarching fleet transition timeline. The fleet transition refresh can be initiated at any point during the period of performance of ICF's contract with the City of Santa Ana subsequent to the completion of the initial Master Plan. Task 3.4: Funding Strategy California State and Federal governments are offering a suite JWL of incentive and financing programs for transitioning the fleets to EVs. To minimize costs for City to transition to an electric fleet, the ICF team will develop a funding and financing plan that recommends Fleet Specific specific grants, rebates, or various utility programs for the vehicles, Funding charging infrastructure, and site readiness for the project, as Package necessary. In doing so, the ICF team will rely on the comprehensive Funding Laws & Incentives database we maintain as part of the Alternative Opportunities Inventory tilityEV Program Fuels Data Center, which includes nearly 1,000 records of laws, incentives, loan funds, and programs related to EVs and EVSE, including those in California. This will include programs such as federal tax credits; federal grants; California's Hybrid and Zero -Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project; grants offered through the Public -Private ~� Government California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program; and Partnership Funding incentive programs offered by regional air quality management districts and utilities such as SCE. Additionally, as owners and operators of EVSE, the City can also participate in CARB's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) market and generate LCFS credits for providing EV charging services. These credits can contribute meaningfully to the return on investment of installing EVSE at their facilities. At the conclusion of this task, the ICF team will compile a summary table with upcoming funding deadlines and pertinent application details. Additionally, the ICF team will prepare a funding package memo. This memo will present the funding opportunities in an organized format, such as a table or spreadsheet, categorically sorted by vehicle type — including light -duty and MD/HD — and charging infrastructure. It will detail associated application deadlines, specific requirements, and any other essential information to aid City in their application process. Task 3 Deliverables A memo summarizing the results of EV alternatives recommendations, TCO analysis for EV replacement, GHG impact analysis, the recommended roll -out timeline to install charging infrastructure, excepted usage trends, and cost estimates by location for each phase of charging infrastructure deployment. If the fleet transition refresh (Task 3.3) is exercised, a revised fleet transition plan with accompanying data that reflects any potential changes to the original vehicle replacement recommendations. Summary table with upcoming funding deadlines and relevant application information Task 4: Development of City Fleet Policies and Standards To ensure that the City fleet remains reliable, efficient, and fit for purpose, it is important to formulate a procurement policy that aligns with the operational demands of the City's fleet maintenance and operations. This is critical as the fleet transitions to EVs. ICF will assist the City in developing policies that not only address the immediate operational needs but also anticipate future requirements, ensuring the fleet remains resilient and adaptable. Building upon existing Santa Ana City policy review from Task 2, ICF will also research across other municipalities and public fleets to understand current practices and identify areas of improvement. By analyzing policies enacted by other municipalities, we aim to glean valuable insights, best practices, and lessons learned, ensuring that the City can benefit from proven strategies and avoid common pitfalls. Our team will then engage in benchmarking activities, Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal 15
