BACKGROUND
With the Town’s commitment to decarbonization and the Fairfax Police Department’s pending acquisition of a fully-electric vehicle (“EV”), the Interim Director of Public Works was tasked with developing a plan for both the short- and longer term needs for charging and other infrastructure to accommodate transition from municipal fleet vehicles utilizing internal combustion engines (“ICE”) to all-electric. The Town has one dual level, Level 1 and Level 2, EV Chargepoint1 charger in the vicinity of Town Hall that is available to the public. The term dual level applies to the voltage (and thus charging current or charging 1 https://www.chargepoint.com/
2 AGENDA ITEM #16
rate) available. From Forbes.com2, “(t)here are three levels of EV charging; Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 3 is broken into DC Fast Charging and (Tesla) Supercharging.

The higher the level of charging, the faster the charging process, as more power is delivered to the vehicle. It’s important to note that different EVs charge at different speeds on each level, because each EV can accept different levels of power from the EVSE, industry-speak for electric vehicle supply equipment, the charger.” The Fairfax Police Department is acquiring a 2022 Ford Mach-E EV at no cost to the Town to replace an ICE vehicle lost in a collision in 2021. According to Ford’s website3, the Mach-E is equipped to accept charging at up to 10.5 kW AC and 150 kW DC (Level 3). The delivery timing for the Mach-E has not yet been confirmed by the vendor.

DISCUSSION
Long-Term
In the best of all worlds, the Town would be able to provide Level 3 charging infrastructure for the Fairfax Police Department’s first EV with room to accommodate additional EVs as they can be acquired to replace Police, Building and Public Works’ ICE vehicles. Doing so, coupled with energy storage to reduce susceptibility to grid power outages, and to alternative power sources should battery storage be inadequate, would provide the most resilient and reliable capability currently available for the first response requirements of all three departments.

On the basis of a meeting held Monday, January 9, 2022 with a PG&E new service representative and representatives of DC Electric Group, Inc 4 . (the Town’s current streetlight and traffic signal maintenance contractor), the infrastructure necessary to provide that capability requires the underground extension of 12,000 volt alternating current (“AC”) grid power from overhead lines on Mono Avenue to a location on the Town Hall parcel, the placement of an above-ground transformer and other equipment to reduce the voltage to 480 volts and convert AC to direct current (“DC”) with electrical panels adequate to handle anticipated future loads and chargers for fleet vehicles. No detailed cost estimate has yet been prepared, but the Interim Public Works Director estimates the gross cost for that work and equipment (without the cost of design, CEQA and NEPA clearance and ancillary costs such as elevating the vehicle parking areas and equipment above the base flood elevation with adequate freeboard for potential future changes in flood levels) will be at least $500,000.

Further, updating and more resiliently interconnecting the Town’s facilities to the electrical grid, energy storage, and standby power for the Corp Yard, Pavilion, Town Hall, Community Center building, the Police Building, and Fire Station 21 warrant a design consulting team and microgrid planning. That work would including parking, circulation, installation of a photovoltaic array over the sun-exposed open areas in the Corp Yard, security improvements, non-potable water storage and rainwater harvesting as part of the 2 https://www.forbes.com/wheels/advice/ev-charging-levels/ 3 https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/

long range plan. Marin Clean Energy has identified two consulting firms it has worked well with on photovoltaic and microgrid systems. There are no doubt incentives, grants and other potential opportunities for the cost to the Town to be reduced but the development of such a capital project will likely take years. Staff recommends that Council includes these longer-term objectives in its strategic planning process in March, and the budget process for fiscal year 2022-2023.

Short-Term Solutions
In the interim, Staff recommends that the Town pursue two parallel paths to provision of EV charging capability at the earliest possible convenience for the Fairfax Police Department and EVs recommended for purchase for the municipal fleet.

First, the California Department of General Services (“DGS”) e-procure system5 has one current, valid, state-leveraged procurement system contract for a Mobile Solar Panel Electric Vehicle Charger System with the potential to provide Level 2 capabilities without any excavation or other constraints within a relatively short timeframe from receipt of purchase order or other form of commitment. The Beam Global ARC 2020 equipment appears to provide the generating capacity, storage, portability and reliability necessary to accommodate the Fairfax Police Department’s EV, any plug-in hybrids and the Ford F150 Lighting EV being considered for the initial Public Works fleet replacement.

Specifications and other information are available from Beam Global’s website and the DGS on this contract and attached. Utilizing a leveraged procurement system price satisfies the cooperative purchasing or “piggy-back” process for acquisition of goods and services under best public contracting processes.

A preliminary proposal from Beam Global for acquisition of two (2) ARC 2020 units at state contract prices is attached.

Second, the Interim Public Works Director understands that the photovoltaic system at the Pavilion is capable of being modified to provide Level 3 charging voltage and current capability. Staff recommends that the funds in the amount of $25,000 (already appropriated in the current FY budget under the Building Improvement Fund (5) for energy improvements to the Pavilion) be authorized for expenditure and the Town Manager authorized to negotiate a contract for public work in conformance with the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Act to replace at least one inverter and acquire and install a Level 3 EV charger without ground disturbance at the site.

Avoidance of ground disturbance will avoid the potential for adverse environmental impacts at the Pavilion that could result from the work. The proposed budget is also intended to allow the space housing the inverters associated with the Pavilion to be improved to conform to the Town’s current Building and Fire Codes for electrical equipment with the installation of fire-rated wallboard and a concrete floor.

Owing to current supply-chain issues, and the fact that without ground disturbance the Level 3 charger location at the Pavilion is outside the existing security associated with the 5 Public Procurement Information (ca.gov)
4 AGENDA ITEM #16
Town’s Corporation Yard, Staff recommends that both of these charging capability options be authorized to reduce the likelihood of delays in placing the Police and other municipal vehicles into service. Once completed, neither of the two charging system improvements will be redundant — having them both will provide as much operational flexibility as the Town can ask for on relatively short-notice and the Beam Global units are moveable — if initially placed in the sunniest space where the Fairfax Police Department parks its units and where the Public Works fleet vehicles are parked, they can be moved at a later date by forklift and truck to any other sunny location. The Beam Global unit’s software can be modified to allow members of the public to compensate the Town for their use if they are placed, for example, in an on-street parking stall or a stall in an existing lot.

As an option, the Council may wish to offer the chargers for use by employees with plugin hybrid or EVs when they are not in use by Town vehicles. Doing so would provide an incentive to decarbonize employee commutes.

Finally, Staff worked initially with Marin Ford and then Downtown Ford in Sacramento to acquire the attached firm quotation for vehicles from the first publicly-available production run of Ford F-150 Lighting EVs. These are configured in the manner expected to be available most quickly and best suited to the Town’s municipal operations. The salesperson providing the quote recommended issuance of proposal acceptance at the earliest possible convenience in order to have the vehicle(s) manufactured during the 2022 production run. The expected delivery time from Ford’s receipt of a firm order is 28 weeks if the production run is not closed before authorization is received by Downtown Ford.

Because the F-150 Lighting EVs are not available under the current California Department of General Services competitive procurement contract, Staff recommends that the Council authorize their purchase on a sole-source basis. Specifically, finding that the specified vehicles are one of a kind in the marketplace at this time at this price, are only available from the Ford Motor Company (the original manufacturer) and that any other potentially available product would delay the initiation of the Town’s transition to municipal EVs, increase costs, and could reduce the value of the manufacturer’s warranty. Owing to the projected timing of delivery and therefore the date of payment in full being in FY 22-23 rather than the current fiscal year, Council could authorize the purchase of one or both of the recommended F-150 EVs against next fiscal year’s budget.

The Town’s non-Police vehicle fleet includes a 2001 Ford Escape used by the Building Official, a 1998 Ford Ranger compact pickup truck (PW Truck #1) used for building maintenance (which recently required several thousand dollars in repairs) and a 2000 Dodge 3/4-ton pickup truck (PW Truck #7) used primarily for pavement marking painting.

In addition, the Town has two heavy diesel vehicles that do not comply with current onthe-road emissions standards — a 1994 dump truck and a 2002 Freightliner/Tymco street sweeper. Each of the listed vehicles is fully depreciated and of zero book value on the Town’s listing of fixed assets. The Town has apparently replaced only one public works maintenance vehicle in the last 10 years.
5 AGENDA ITEM #16
Staff has solicited a proposal from Marin Sanitary Service for street sweeping services and recommends that Council consider (as part of its strategic planning and FY 22-23 budget process) eliminating the two vehicles that both require a Commercial Driver’s License (“CDL”)6 (owing to gross vehicle weight ratings in excess of 26,000 lbs.) and do not conform to diesel emissions regulations from the Town’s fleet. Council may also wish to consider eliminating the requirement for maintenance of a valid CDL from public works maintenance worker’s job descriptions.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has concluded that the funds necessary for three requested authorizations:

1. negotiation of a public work contract for improvements to the Pavilion photovoltaic system not to exceed $25,000.

2. acquisition of one (1) Beam Global ARC 2020 unit not to exceed $90,000 under the cooperative purchasing program at State Contract prices.

3. sole-source purchase of one (1) 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning EVs from Downtown Ford for the purchase price of $45,308.31 (including tax and delivery) with an additional appropriation for fitting of MERA radios and amber warning light systems not to exceed $4,700.

Consist of:

1. The $25,000 appropriated in the Building Improvement Fund (Fund 5) this year for energy improvements to the Pavilion.

2. A portion of the remainder of balance in Fund 3 (the Field Equipment/Vehicle Replacement Fund )($144,304) be appropriated to cover the $90,000 cost of one Beam Global ARC 2020 units this fiscal year (leaving $54,304); and

3. Another portion of the remainder of balance in Fund 3 ($54,304) be appropriated to cover the cost of one (1) 2022 Ford F-150 Lighting EV this fiscal year leaving approximately $4,300 in fund balance.

Should Council wish to order a second Beam Global unit and a second 2022 Ford F-150 Lighting, Staff recommends that appropriations be made in the budget for FY 22-23.

EV ARC™
Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation
The patented EV ARC™ 2020 is the only 100% renewable, transportable, off-grid EV charging infrastructure option on the market EV ARC™
Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation
The EV ARC™ (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) is a clean-technology product manufactured by California based Beam Global in their San Diego facility. Beam’s team of veterans, disabled workers and other fine American contributors design, develop, patent and manufacture sustainability products which make EV charging infrastructure rapid and easy to deploy without environmental impact or disruption during delivery or use. Electric Vehicles (EVs) charged by Beam’s products are 100% emissions free (unlike EVs powered by most grid electricity). EV ARC™ products do not contribute to utility grid instability and ensure that EVs can continue to charge during blackouts or in locations where it is too expensive, disruptive or simply impossible to extend the utility grid. EV ARC™ systems are equipped with emergency power panels so that first responders can access life-saving electricity during emergencies.

BeamForAll.com EV ARC™ – Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation 2 EV ARC™ products deliver the Driving on Sunshine experience to government and enterprise customers in over 100 jurisdictions in the U.S. and also in the Caribbean, South America and Europe. Locations are as varied as densely populated urban environments like Manhattan, San Francisco, Atlanta and Los Angeles on one end of the spectrum, and remote wilderness locations such as parks, deserts and waterfronts on the other. In fact, any location which is environmentally sensitive, or where the construction and electrical work required to install grid tied chargers is disruptive, is an ideal location for an EV ARC™. There is no site disruption when an EV ARC™ is deployed and because it is transportable it can be moved at any time without leaving any trace of its having been there.

Deployed in Over 100 Jurisdictions

Quality Building Departments
Say No Permits Required
EV ARC™ has been deployed in hundreds of locations for Federal, State, local and municipal governments and also for enterprise customers. In over nine years of deployments no agency or jurisdiction has ever requested a building or electrical permit after understanding the product, and no deployment of an EV ARC™ system has ever been denied on permitting or any other grounds.

With several hundred deployments across the US during the last decade we have only ever had one jurisdiction question a customer for lack of a permit (without having seen the EV ARC™ or understanding it). After a thorough review they dismissed the question. The County decision is posted right (see Figure 1).

We have redacted it to preserve customer privacy.

EV ARC™ Survives Hurricane Force Winds
EV ARC™ – Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation
On September 30, 2017 hurricane Maria struck the U.S. Virgin Island in St. Criox with category-5 winds (155-185 mph). The government Energy Office had deployed an EV ARC™ at that facility. When communications were restored to the island, we received the following email from the Energy Office’s Facilities Coordinator:
5 EV ARC™ Construction – There is None
No construction work of any sort is
required to deploy an EV ARC™
• No trenching
• No concrete
• No conduit
• No spoils removal
ARC™ Mobility Trailer which lowers your EV ARC onto the spot. • The EV ARC™ is a skid mounted piece of temporary
equipment
• EV ARC™ is deployed in minutes and arrives on site
ready to use (watch the ARC Mobility™ Trailer
deployment video) https://youtu.be/a0WujevWAhM
• EV ARC™ is delivered to its location by a trailer which lower it into its spot or by flatbed and forklift.
• No site preparation is required for the deployment of an EV ARC™
• EV ARC™ does not need to be fastened to the ground in any way. No bolts, glues, concrete or other fastenings are required – it is skid mounted
• EV ARC™ is deployed on roughly level ground and has
previously been successfully located on concrete, blacktop, gravel, grass and sand.

EV ARC™ Stowed System
BeamForAll.com EV ARC™ – Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation 6 • EV ARC™ exerts about ten times less pounds per
square inch on the ground than a car does so no
geotechnical study is required – if a vehicle can get
there an EV ARC™ can be deployed there. Because
there is no trenching, concrete, conduit or other
work, no construction related inspections are
required
• No assembly is required for EV ARC™ deployments.

They arrive folded in upon themselves and then
deploy like a satellite once in their location.
• EV ARC™ is ADA compliant because it places the
EV charger (EVSE) within ADA reach requirements.

There is no need to designate the EV ARC™ as an
ADA compliant space so long as it is deployed next
to one.
• EV ARC™ fits in a standard 9’ X 18’ parking space
but does not reduce available parking in any way
because vehicles can still use the space in which it
is located
• EV ARC™ is not enclosed and does not offer
shelter to people – it’s a piece of equipment that is
temporary, transportable and designed to provide
clean, safe energy to EV chargers (EVSE) and first
responders, just like a generator but without the
fuel, emissions or other hazards.

EV ARC™ Construction – There is None
BeamForAll.com EV ARC™ – Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation 7 EV ARC™
EV ARC™ gets all its power from the sun
• EV ARC™ generates all of its own electricity from its integrated solar array so it doesn’t need to connect to the electrical grid – ever
• EV ARC™ provides power to any quality, off the shelf EV charging equipment (EVSE). There is nothing special or
unusual about the charger except that it does not need to connect to the utility grid
• EV ARC™’s electrical components are all integrated in accordance with UL listing
• EV ARC™’s electrical components are all integrated 9.5 feet above grade so they are safe from flooding (in fact it’s the only flood proof solution of its sort that we are aware of) • EV ARC™ is chassis grounded just like a crane or an RV, or any other piece of equipment, and as such does not require any external grounding
EV ARC™ Electrical Work – There is None
EV ARC™ doesn’t connect to the grid so it
doesn’t need any sort of electrical work – ever
• No wiring
• No transformer
• No switchgear
• No meter

Because there is no electrical work, no electrical work inspections are required.

EV ARC™ supports and powers any quality EV charger
BeamForAll.com EV ARC™ – Rapidly Deployed with No Site Preparation 8 • EV ARC™ is stamped by an independent and
licensed structural engineer to withstand winds of
up to 120 miles per hour
• It has actually survived 185mph, category five
hurricane force winds in the Caribbean with no
damage at all to the unit
• Wind is always the governing factor
• EV ARC™ is deployed in seismically active locations
like San Francisco – the fact that it is skid mounted
and not fastened to the ground makes it better
equipped to deal with earthquakes. It will not
overturn.
• EV ARC™ is deployed in heavy snow environments
like Buffalo, New York – snow doesn’t bother it
• EV ARC™ is deployed across the US in the most
extreme conditions from blistering, dusty deserts
to freezing snowy lakes and rain drenched,
hurricane environments. EV ARC™ has never
had any failure due to weather or other external
conditions.

stores all of its own electricity. It fits inside a
standard parking space and because vehicles
easily park on it you won’t lose a single spot.

Reaching as many as 12 vehicles, it can charge
up to six EVs at the same time. Use it day or night
and during periods of inclement weather.

ON MAY 20, 2021 " # $ &
SAN DIEGO, CA, May 20, 2021—Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), the leading provider of innovative sustainable technology for electric vehicle (EV) charging, outdoor media, and energy security, announced an order from the California Department of General Services (DGS) for 52 Beam Global EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging systems. The EV ARC™ systems will expand access to sustainable EV charging and emergency power for 12 state government agencies. Beam Global EV charging infrastructure products are transportable, off-grid and require no construction, permitting or electrical work, providing fleet vehicles with access to clean, resilient EV charging. Wind rated to 120mph, flood-proof to 9 ½ feet and featuring an emergency power panel, the EV ARC™ systems also serve as emergency preparedness sustainable generators for fleet operators and first responders as they continue to operate during grid failures and provide power in locations without access to the utility grid.

Funded by a California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) grant and executed by the DGS Office of Sustainability’s Transportation Unit, the order will bolster the state’s off grid and resilient EV charging infrastructure for government-owned fleets, which already incorporates Beam Global products previously deployed statewide. This order is purchased through DGS’ statewide California Contract #1-18-61-16 which simplifies the procurement process, ensures best pricing and is available to all state agencies and local government entities. The systems will provide power during emergencies and charge State of California EV fleets year-round. DGS has allocated the new EV ARC™ systems, according to each agency’s needs, for delivery and deployment within 90 days of order placement. This bulk purchase reflects Beam Global’s capability to fulfill orders of increasing scale while generating recurring demand, particularly in the public sector. “We believe that this, the largest single order in our history is indicative of an increased emphasis on rapidly deployed and grid independent EV charging infrastructure by all branches of government,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “The U.S. has a Strategic Petroleum Reserve but there is no Strategic Electricity Reserve. Each EV ARC deployed contributes to our nation’s energy security and in combination, provide the beginnings of a Strategic Electric Reserve. We are observing that this vital capability is becoming increasingly recognized in purchasing decisions and we applaud DGS and OES for taking this leadership position in securing the fuel of the future for California.” Federal, state and local authorities are accelerating demand for renewably-powered EV charging in the U.S. in response to recent grid failures and ambitious clean energy and electrified transportation targets. California is a leader in the transition, with Governor Gavin Newsom setting a 2035 deadline for phasing out internal combustion engine vehicle sales and advocating for $1.5 billion in public investments in the state’s EV charging networks. The State of Washington has announced a similar ban five years earlier in 2030. At the federal level, President Biden aims to deploy 500,000 new public EV charging outlets as part of the administration’s strategy to revitalize the country’s transportation infrastructure and fight climate change.
