MEETING DATE: April 25, 2023
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Receive presentation on Citywide Fleet Electrification Master Plan and Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Study & Rollout Plan.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is drafting an Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation which is expected to take effect on January 1, 2024.
In July 2022, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with ICF Consulting, LLC (ICF) for fleet electrification master planning services; in November 2022, City Council approved a separate Professional Services Agreement with ICF for the completion of a Zero-Emission Bus (ZEB) Study and Rollout Plan.
The purpose of these efforts was to develop a comprehensive system wide assessment of electric vehicle needs for the City and to recommend a strategy for a multi -tiered vehicle purchase and replacement process, inclusive of the facilities and infrastructure required to support those vehicles.
The ACF regulation requires state and local government agencies to convert their fleet vehicles having gross vehicle weight rating of more than 8,500 pounds, to zero emission vehicles. Since emergency use and light duty vehicles are exempt from State requirements to electrify, the City does not anticipate a requirement to convert 100% of its citywide fleet to zero-emission under existing regulations. The Citywide Fleet Electrification Master Plan effort was intended to evaluate vehicle classes f or which electric alternatives are available, the cost of said alternatives, upfront and lifecycle costs, as well as operational challenges and safety as it relates to electric alternatives.
The Zero-Emission Bus (ZEB) Study & Rollout Plan fulfills a separate requirement from California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation, which requires 100% of new transit bus purchases to be zero-emission by 2029, and 100% of transit bus fleets to be zero-emission by 2040. The study identifies recommended ZEB types (i.e. battery electric vs. hydrogen fuel cell), infrastructure requirements, and a phasing plan for capital improvements and vehicle procurement. The analysis factors in key operational parameters such as transit service requirements including route, range and staffing needs, fleet management including operation logistics and maintenance, and charging or fueling needs. Financial viability and cost- effectiveness with regard to initial purchase prices, lifetime costs, operational costs, and financing strategies are also examined.
Several City staff have contributed to ICF’s efforts over the past few months based on their area(s) of expertise including Public Works and Electric Utility staff.
ICF has completed a draft Fleet Electrification Master Plan and a draft Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Study & Rollout Plan, and will provide a presentation to Council to seek any input and/or recommendations in an effort to present to City Council for final approval in May and June 2023.
