Public Hearing & Agreements for EV Charging Stations February 6, 2018 Page 2 Location #of Dual EV Stations #of Parking Stalls City Hall - Ross Annex (City use only) 4 8 Corporate Yard (City/Public use) 2 4 Santa Ana Zoo 1 2 SARTC 1 2 City Hall - Civic Center Superblock 1 2 Third & Bush Parking Lot 1 2 Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) awarded a contract to ChargePoint Inc. (contract #051017 -CPI) for procurement and installation of Electric Vehicle charging stations as a result of open competitive bidding on behalf of its members, which includes government entities. The awarded contract is valid through 2021 and meets the City's purchasing requirements. Due to the complexity of the specifications, the use of a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement such as NJPA provides for a timely and cost effective purchase. As such, staff recommends contracting with Voltaic, who is an approved distributor of ChargePoint products, to purchase and install ChargePoint stations, and utilize the ChargePoint networking system to process payments and provide maintenance for the above -referenced ten (10) charging stations (Stations) at six (6) different locations. Each station will be a dual -pedestal type, which means it allows for two vehicles to utilize each station at the same time if needed. As a result, there is an overall capacity to service a total of 20 electric vehicles at these ten charging stations over six different locations. The Stations will utilize ChargePoint, Inc. as direct provider of networking services. As a result, the City must also enter into a Master Services and Subscription agreement (MSSA) with ChargePoint, Inc. to utilize their cloud -based networking system. ChargePoint, Inc. is the industry leader in providing networked Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations throughout the United States. They currently have over 7,000 customers providing service to large and small entities in both the private and public sectors. Additionally, ChargePoint has established partnerships with the majority of the major car manufacturers to provide an easy transition for the car buyer to purchase electricity for their EV. Currently, ChargePoint, Inc. maintains a 70% market share of all EV charging stations, and have existing contracts locally with the cities of Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Orange, Westminster, Lake Forest and Laguna Beach. Voltaic, located in Garden Grove, is one of their authorized charging station providers. ChargePoint, Inc. provides a networked approach to EV purchases, where charging locations and payments are made available on a real-time basis on the user's smartphone or vehicle navigation system. Additionally, all EV charging station usage data is available to the City in a cloud environment and include a wide variety of reports to help provide an ongoing review of each station, including revenues received and actual electrical costs.
