BACKGROUND:
Investing in the development and installati on of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is identified in the City’s budget priorities and Strategic Plan as a means of supporting environmental vitality and supporting the City’s transition to a clean energy future. Additionally, ‘Electrical Vehicle Readiness Planning’ is a top priority in the City’s adopted Planning & Environmental Review Department’s Annual Work Program for FY 22/23. The City Council adopted an Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit Streamlining Ordinance in April 2020.
1 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022
In September 2020, Governor Newsom issued an executive or der requiring sales of all new passenger vehicles to be zero-emissi on by 2035 and additi onal measures to eliminate harmful emissions fr om the transportation sector. Transportation accounts for just over half of the greenhouse gas (GHG) em issions in Santa Barbara County. One of the key strategies to reducing emissions and meeting the ambitious climate goals of the State is encouraging the us e of EVs and expanding EV charging infrastructure. The executive order directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB), California Energy Commission (CEC), California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), other State agencies, and local agencies to accelerate deployment of affordable fueling and charging options for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in ways that serve all communities, and specifically in low income and disadvantaged communities.
California has a statewide goal to install 250,000 EV chargers to support 1.5 million ZEVs by 2025 and infrastructure to support 5 mill ion ZEVs by 2030. Based on information provided by the Santa Barbara County Air Po llution Control District, the CEC estimates that jurisdictions within Santa Barbara County will need to support an additional 10,333 EVs by 2025. Supporting that number of EVs by 2025 requires significant investment in public Level 2 EV chargers, which are characterized by a 208-240 Volt, 40 Amp circuit and can deliver on average 7.6 kW of power. CEC’s estimated projection of the number of public Level 2 EV charging stations needed to support the 2025 ZEV goal is 972 chargers in Santa Barbara County. The to tal number of public Level 2 EV charging stations in the County as of January 31, 2022, is 328, leaving an EV charging station gap of 644 to meet CEC’s 2025 ZEV projection over the next few years.
To help achieve EV goals and in acknowledgement of the existing gaps in local EV charging infrastructure, over the last year Sustainability Program staff has been pursuing various funding opportunities to offset the costs of installing EV charging stations at City facilities. Staff has submitted applications to the Southern California Edison (SCE) Charge Ready Program, the CEC’s CALeVIP Program, the VW Light Duty EV Infrastructure Program, and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District’s Clean Air Grants Infrastructure Program. Additionally, EV-capable conduits have been installed as part of the solar photovoltaic project at City Hall to allow for easy installation of at least three dual port EV chargers providing six public EV spaces. Of the programs applied to, the City was selected to participate in SCE’s Charge Ready Program.
SCE’s Charge Ready Program assists property owners, including local jurisdictions, with deploying the infrastructure and equipment nec essary to support EV charging stations.
Specifically designed for li ght-duty passenger vehicles, t he program helps cities by providing financial incentives, infrastructu re, and technical support to facilitate the installation and maintenance of EV chargers . The Charge Ready Program is a “make ready” program, in which SCE provides progr am-funded infrastructure upgrades (e.g., underground conduit, wiring and stub-outs needed to install EV chargers), as well as an incentive for the purchase of new EV charging stations. Once enrolled in Charge Ready, the City is responsible for the purchase and installation of the EV charging stations, to be selected from SCE’s approved product list. The terms of the program include an easement for the installation of electrical equipment, SCE access to EV charger use data, and EV charger participation in SCE’s future demand response events. These “demand 2 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022
response events” essentially scale back charging when the need and cost of energy is high during peak demand hours and are part of local grid resiliency efforts. Additionally, the City would be responsible for maintenance, operation and networking of all installed chargers for a minimum of 10 years to ensure equipment is in good working order.
During the February, March, and October 2022 Green Committee meetings, staff solicited feedback on the proposed conceptual desi gn and EVSE features. The Committee and key City staff reviewed SCE’s conc eptual design and recommended pursuing participation in SCE’s Charge Ready Program. In February and Marc h, staff presented an option to increase the number of charging ports in the conceptual design from 12 to 17, with the Committee recommending 17 EV ports that would extend further east along the southern stretch of parki ng spaces outside of City Hall. Key discussion points centered on the number of c hargers proposed and a potentia l increase in ports, the inclusion of a cable retractors, ADA cons iderations, and the proposed location of the project. At the October 2022 Green Co mmittee meeting, the Committee again recommended proceeding with par ticipation in the SCE C harge Ready Program and expressed support for allocating $65,000 towards the project.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Goleta has been selected as a pot ential participant in SCE’s Charge Ready Program for the Goleta City Hall site, whic h will provide ‘make ready’ EV infrastructure and EV equipment rebate support for the installation of 17 EV chargers at City Hall. Staff recommends that the City pr oceed in the Charge Ready pr ogram process by approving the Participation Agreement for 17 Level 2 EV charging stations at City Hall and allocating an additional $50,000 in funds for the purchase and installation of charging equipment (in addition to the $15,000 already allocated). SCE’s ‘make ready’ work includes but is not limited to: all the electrical work up to the stub-out, pedestals, bollards, 600 amp panel, ADA signs, installation of ADA pathway, landscape moving, painting and restriping, trenching, and asphalt work. The estimated in-kind value of SCE’s work for the City is about $250,000, which the City woul d be receiving for free for participating in the SCE Charge Ready program. In addition to the ‘make ready’ electrical work and infrastructure being free to the City, the City will receive a rebate incentive of $725 per charging port, totaling $12,325, from SCE once EV stations are installed. The Charge Ready program has no restrictions on the use of EVSE, so chargers may be used for future City electric fleet vehicles, employees, and the public as determined by the City. SCE’s determination of location does not preclude t he City from pursuing installa tion of EV chargers in other locations around City Hall.
SCE Charge Ready Program Process & Conceptual Design
Immediately after the launch of the current SCE Charge Ready Program in August 2021, the City submitted program applications to SCE requesting multiple sites for consideration for EV charging infrastructure. After conducting site visits, SCE notified the City in November 2021 that the Goleta City Hall site had been selected by SCE as the location approved for the program’s EV Charging Infrastructure and Re bate offering. SCE then began developing a conceptual design plan for the City. 3 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022
In December 2021, SCE presented a conceptual design plan to staff. The initial site plan proposed EV infrastructure installation on the south side of City Hall to accommodate six dual-port Level-2 chargers, totaling 12 EV spaces. The initial conceptual design included one ADA-compliant, van-accessible EVSE par king space and one standard accessible, unreserved EVSE parking space in compliance with the California Building Code (Table 11B-228.3.2.1). Charger location s were identified primarily fo r proximity to an existing transformer as well as ease of improving AD A EV access, which is required to ensure accessible pathways from the ADA EV spaces to the building. The conceptual design meets SCE’s cost-effectiveness feasibility criteria for the project.
On February 24 and March 21, 2022, the Cit y’s Energy & Green Issues Standing Committee reviewed SCE’s conceptual design and recommended pursuing participation in SCE’s Charge Ready Program as well as increasing the number of charging ports in the conceptual design from 12 to 17 EV ports that would extend further east along the southern stretch of parking spaces outside of City Hall. The updated conceptual design with the increased port count was received in early July 2022 for staff analysis and review (Attachment 1). The conceptual design has been reviewed by staff and the City has provided feedback to SCE from the City’s Planning, Public Works, General Services, and Neighborhood Services Departm ents as well as the City Manager’s Office. Staff also sought feedback from the City’s Energy & Green Issues Standing Committee.
Key elements of the updated conceptual design include infrastructure to accommodate 8 dual port and 1 single port EV charger (17 EV spaces total), the installation of a 200-amp service meter, the installation of a 600-amp distribution subpanel, and an ADA accessible pathway to the south entranc e of City Hall. Anticipated im pacts from the project are expected to be minimal, with minor vegetation removal for the installation of the pathway.
Along the drive aisle and proposed projec t area, the anticipated restriping to accommodate ADA improvements and EVSE equipment will result in a loss of 7 parking stalls across the 24 that currently exist. This loss of parking will not br ing City Hall out of compliance with parking minimum requirement s for government build ings pursuant to Title 17, as there are an ample number of spaces for parking onsite.
The increase in ports in the conceptual design from 12 to 17 will help the City maximize project cost efficiencies and increase EV infr astructure at City Hall while meeting the necessary ADA improvements for providing EV charging. The City’s Building Department has confirmed that one van accessible and one standard accessible EV charging station spaces are required when 5 to 25 EV charging stations are provided on a site.
EVSE Vendors and Cost Estimates
While SCE is responsible for all the ‘mak e-ready' electrical infrastructure and ADA improvements, the City is responsible for the purchase and installation of EVSE connecting to this electrical infrastructure as well as the netwo rking, operations and maintenance for the 10-year program period. Upon rece iving the updated conceptual design, the City solicited informal proposals from vendors and conducted multiple site visits with EVSE vendors on SCE’s approved product list. Staff then used the information 4 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022
gathered from this informal process to identify the estimated cost for the project for the City, as well as used the information to help staff develop a thorough and detailed Request for Proposals (RFP). Staff issued the RFP on September 30, 2022 with a closing date of November 6, 2022. The City received eight proposals from EVSE vendors, which are currently under review and contract negotiation.
During the March 2022 Green Committee meeting, staff presented the potential upfront and ongoing costs at the time for the proposed EVSE from SCE’s initial conceptual design. This financial analysis was drawn fr om a proposal from a single vendor, who applied on the City’s behalf for CALeVIP funds for the City Hall site to supplement any potential charging project. Following this initial assessment and the March Green Committee meeting, a few factors have impact ed the cost of the EV charging stations, charger networking, and maintenance. The primary factor is the requested increase in the number of stations - from 12 to 17 - which ultimately increases the purchasing price of EVSE and the ongoing networking and maintenance costs. Additionally, the initial proposal received from the vendor did not include details and estimates regarding shipping, installation, and potential operations and maintenance warranties necessary to keep the stations in compliance SCE’s Charge Ready program.
Upon further research in discussing operations and maintenance with other jurisdictions, EV charging stations are prone to service disruption and need regul ar maintenance. In evaluating vendors, staff considered more comprehensive options for operations, maintenance, and warranties for EVSE that woul d ensure consistent operation. Staff included this provision in the RFP. Another factor driving up costs of EVSE is inflation, with the Consumer Price Index rising by nearly 4% since March 2022. Since receiving the updated conceptual design, staff’s initial outreach to vendors to receive informal proposals on the project for evaluation has rev ealed an increase in costs and a suite of networking, operations, and maintenance options that will ultimately impact the final costs of any EVSE project.
While estimates vary on the brand and the capacit y of the chargers, t he cost of Level 2 EV charging equipment ranges from $1,550 to $2,400 per port, with the total for 17 ports averaging close to $35,550. The cost of networking EVSE averages around $260 per port and $4,400 per year for the to tal number of proposed chargers. Some vendors offer the option of waiving networking fees in exchange for Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits and operations and maintenance models that handle the upkeep of EVSE in the event of service disruption. Staff is currently revi ewing eight proposals fr om vendors through an RFP process and are evaluating the diffe rent operations and maintenance package approaches, while keeping in mind reliability, co st, and service. Should the City Council approve participating in SCE Charge Ready, st aff is requesting a budget allocation of $50,000 from the General Fund Unassigned Balance for the purchase and installation of 17 EVSE, in addition to the $15,000 already approved earlier in 2022. This request has changed since the Committee meeting in March from 12 ports to 17 ports, and from about $30,000 to about $65,000. The Green Committee re-affirmed their support for participation in the SCE Charge Ready program and recommended that Council approve the budget allocation request at the Oct ober 2022 meeting. Following Program Participation signing, the City has 45 days to demonstrate the proof of purchase of EVSE. 5 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022
Next Steps, Timing, & Additional Funding
For the City to proceed with the SCE Charge Ready program, staff requests that City Council approve the Program Pa rticipation Agreement (Attachment 1). The City’s legal team has reviewed the Agreement and notes that participation does add some risk to the City in that it requires the City to waive any claims associated with the quality and safety of the products associated with the Charging Equipment as well as the workmanship of third parties used by SCE to install the Charging Equipment. SCE makes no warranties regarding the merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose, use or application of the products and services under the Program. In other words, if the Charging Equipment fails and causes injury to the City or another third party who then files a claim against the City, the City could not look to SCE for com pensation. However, knowing that SCE has installed similar facilities in other cities and counties, staff is not aware of any injuries associated with these facilities. This SCE Agreement is the same for all cities and counties participating in the SCE Charge Ready program. Given this record, the low risk of injury associated with the Charging Equipment, and the benefits of the Charge Ready program, staff recommends that Council approve the Program Participation Agreement.
Following City Council approval and signing of the Participat ion Agreement by both parties, the City is required to provide proof of purchase for all vehicle charging equipment designated for the project within 45 calendar days of the date funds are reserved. Staff is timing the RFP process to sele ct a vendor for the project concurrent with bringing this item before City Council, so the City can be prepared to complete a purchase order for the EV charging equipment wit hin 45 days of Council’s Participation Agreement authorization.
The approximate timeline according to SCE Charge Ready staff once they receive our purchase order for the EV charger s is 9 to 12 months for c onstruction to be complete.
During this time, SCE will complete the detailed design work, prepare and deliver easements for the City’s signature, secure any necessary permits, procure materials, and manage the construction of the make-ready infrastructure work. After SCE’s construction is complete, the City will then move forwar d with installing the EV charging equipment.
When the EV chargers have been installed, the City will provid e documentation and verification of completed work to SCE. Once the work is verified, SCE will process rebate payments. The City estimates rebate payments from SCE to be $12,325, which will offset the City’s budget allocation for the project.
In addition to EV charger rebates from SCE, staff has identif ied other potential funding sources to help offset the cost of EV chargers to the City. Staff has already met with our City’s community choice energy provider, Central Coast Community Energy (CCCE), to discuss EV charger rebate programs available to Goleta as a Member Agency. CCCE’s Light Duty Vehicle Electrific ation program has available funding to supplement EV charging equipment with ext ended benefits being offered to it s Member Agencies. Staff plans to apply for and pursue the reservati on of funds through this program after the vendor and equipment is selected, which can provide the City up to $10,000 of funding from CCCE for the purchase of EV charging stations as part of this project. If approved, 6 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022
reservation of CCCE funds will be committed th rough a Letter of Intent provided to the City.
In addition to SCE and CCCE, staff intends to pursue other funding sources to further offset the cost of EV chargers. In August 2022, staff applied for a competitive Clean Air Grant through the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District to further offset the cost of the EV chargers. Once the EVSE equipment is selected and purchased, staff will work with APCD to provide updated cost info rmation as part of the grant application package.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption, under Section 15311 and Section 15304 of the CEQA Guidelines, as the project calls for the construction of minor structures accessory to existing facilities. The Class 11 exemption applies as the project calls for the construction of minor structures accessory to existing facilities that do not result in a significant environmental impact (§ 15311) and § 15304(f), Minor Alterations to Land, “Class 4 consists of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve remova l of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes. Exampl es include but are not limited to: Minor trenching and backfilling where the surface is restored.” The project will not result in a significant environmental impact.
GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:
City-Wide Strategy: Support Environmental Vitality
Strategic Goal : Promote renewable energy, energy conservation and local energy resiliency
Objectives:
Encourage renewable ener gy generation and use thr ough installation of solar panels, battery energy storage, electric vehicle charging stat ions and similar measures, including at City-owned faciliti es and complete installation of solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations at City Hall.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Should the City proceed with SCE Charge Ready, staff is requesting a one-time budget appropriation of $50,000 from the General F und Unassigned Balance for the purchase and installation of 17 EVSE. Following the signing, the City has 45 days to demonstrate the proof of purchase of EVSE. This request is in anticipation of quick timelines and the estimated costs for EVSE, installation, and initial setup fees. 7 Meeting Date: December 6, 2022

Since available funding str eams are rebates or reimbursements, staff is requesting an allocation of $50,000 in funds to cover the EVSE “turn-key” package. In addition to the ‘make ready’ electrical work and infrastructure being free to the City, the City will receive a rebate incentive of $725 per charging port, totaling $12,325 from SCE, and staff plans to apply for an additional $10,000 of funding from CCCE - for a total of $22,325. With this approach, staff anticipates offsetting the cost of EV chargers for the City by about half.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may elect not to pursue participation in the SCE Charge Ready program and to fully-fund the project with City budget, or to not allocate funding to the project until the vendor contract is completed. City Council may also elect not to pursue participation in the SCE Charge Ready Program as presented and provide staff alternate direction.
