charging framework to power these EVs. Sam's role in this pivotal project encompasses several key tasks. As part of this project, Sam is assessing the City of Pittsburg's current fleet and proposing feasible ways to transition the fleet from ICE vehicles to EVs. Secondly, Sam is leading the team to formulate effective strategies for the installation and operation of the necessary EV charging infrastructure. Third, Sam is leading the task of estimating the financial implications of both transitioning to EVs and setting up the requisite charging network. Fourth, he is also helping the City to identify potential roadblocks to the fleet's transition and proposing viable solutions to navigate these challenges. Lastly, Sam is developing a strategy to capitalize on incentive funding opportunities and exploring various financing options and innovative business models. Fleet Electrification Planning—Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, 612023-Present Project Manager. As the project manager for the two-phase project at the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen), Sam is leading the development of a master plan, focusing on evaluating Midpen's fleet, transportation needs, staffing, and budgetary constraints, along with current operating and maintenance costs. His goal is to strategize the transition of Midpen's fleet to clean transportation options, including zero emission and fossil fuel -free technologies, by 2030. This involves assessing the need for charging and fueling infrastructure, providing guidance on data management tools for efficient fleet operations, conducting cost -benefit analyses, developing a decision -making tool for future vehicle replacements, and identifying potential funding sources for the green fleet transition. Following the successful completion of Phase 1 and upon Midpen's approval, Sam will lead Phase 2, which entails performing a market assessment of available fleet management systems and evaluating their compatibility with Midpen's operational needs. Once a system is selected, he will collaborate with the chosen vendors and Midpen staff to configure the system, preparing training materials and providing guidance to ensure a seamless transition and efficient operation of the new green fleet. Fleet Electrification Planning —City of Iowa City, 412023-Present Project Manager. As the project manager, Sam is assisting the City of Iowa City with the development of a fleet electrification and EV infrastructure plan. This ambitious project aims to transition the city's fleet of nearly 200 vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). In this capacity, Sam is responsible for designing a tailored EV replacement plan, which involves a detailed analysis of each vehicle's usage, lifecycle, and the appropriate timing for replacement. Alongside this, he is developing a comprehensive EV infrastructure plan, ensuring that the necessary charging stations and support systems are in place to facilitate this transition. A key aspect of Sam's role involves conducting an in-depth grid and facility capacity analysis. This task is particularly challenging, as it requires coordination and collaboration with half a dozen utilities serving the city's facilities, necessitating a nuanced understanding of the local energy infrastructure and its capabilities. Through these efforts, Sam is crafting a blueprint that will guide the City of Iowa City in transitioning its fleet to EVs over the next 15 years. Fleet Electrification Implementation Rollout Strategy —City of Raleigh, 0612022-12/2023 Technical Lead. This project is intended to develop a Fleet Electrification Implementation Rollout Strategy for the City of Raleigh, INC to (1) evaluate the City's fleet and provide recommendations to transition from fossil fuel vehicles to clean transportation options; (2) identify potential funding sources and procurement strategies; (3) develop a sustainable EV charging infrastructure plan for City fleet vehicles; (4) provide a training plan and educational guidelines for City staff who will operate EVs; (5) review the City's EV charging software system solution and recommend best practices for aligning software; and (6) provide recommendation to improve accessibility and address equity issues through electrification and charging infrastructure deployment. This plan will serve as a blueprint for how the City can transition its fleet to electric and alternative fueled technologies and deploy the charging infrastructure needed to power them. Clean Technology Compendium —Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG),112023-Present Project Manager. Sam is currently leading a project for SCAG focused on the development of a Clean Technology Compendium spanning multiple transportation sectors, including passenger vehicles, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and rail. As part of this initiative, Sam's team has conducted a comprehensive desk research and (seas d Wo,..at data contained as Minshoetle s ibi,aamlAe ie5twooa on tho otie nago of a5pmal
