Heaiy, Clerk of the uncil IIMOU5CiliesNov2004 .' :ATTACHMENT 1 STATEMENT OF WORK FOR AIR PRODUCTS & CHEMICALS, INC. "FIVE CITIES" PROJECT HYDROGEN FUELING STATIONS The implementation of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV s) is a key component in the effort to achieve air quality attainment in the South Coast Air Basin. Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) technology is emerging at an accelerated pace and may playa crucial role in this effort. The AQMD has allocated a total of $3.38 million towards funding the "Five Cities" projects for the installation and operation of a network of five hydrogen fueling stations throughout the Basin to support the operation ofFCVs and electric hybrid internal combustion engine vehicles converted to use hydrogen as the fuel that will begin arrive in the Basin before the end of2005. ' CONTRACTOR has submitted a proposed project for the construction, and installation of hydrogen fueling stations in (A) Santa Monica, (B) Riverside, (C) Burbank, (D) Santa Ana, and (E) Ontario. CONTRACTOR proposes that these will be either stationary fueling sites supplied by an integral PEM electrolyzer system (A, B, and C) or a self-contained transportable fueling unit that can be refilled off-site as needed (D and E) by CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR proposes thi'\t these stations will provide public accessibility for fleets and other hydrogen vehicle users that have met CONTRACTOR's and the individual cities' prequalification requirements. As part of the bid proposal the CONTRACTOR has agreed to be responsible for equipment selection, design, construction and installation; commissioning; and maintenance; and data analysis. CONTRACTOR will also work with the individual cities in the permitting; site development and operation of each site. CONTRACTOR has agreed to as part of its proposal to do the following tasks: Task 1 - Equipment Design and Selection 1.1) CONTRACTOR shall evaluate equipment and cycle options and finalize design based on cost effectiveness and efficiency, including storage, compression and dispensing equipment AQMD Program Manager will review final equipment design and specifications. 1.2) CONTRACTOR shall size equipment based on anticipated demand using as much standardized equipment as possible. 1.3) CONTRACTOR shall include equipment for storage, compression, and dispensing. 1.4) CONTRACTOR shall complete operating and hazard reviews and assemble the appropriate engineering drawings and documentation for the city approvals.
