Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 4
Introduction to CTE The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, membership-based planning and engineering organization. CTE’s mission is to improve the health of our climate and communities by bringing people together to develop and commercialize clean, efficient, and sustainable transportation technologies. CTE collaborates with federal, state, and local governments, fleets, and vehicle technology manufacturers to advance clean, sustainable, innovative transportation and energy technologies. Since its founding in 1993, CTE has managed a portfolio of approximately $3.8 billion in team research, development, and demonstration projects funded by a variety of federal, state, and local organizations including the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Energy, Defense, and Interior, as well as the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission. CTE is experienced in developing, implementing, and administering advanced transportation technology projects, with a focus on zero-emission transit buses. CTE has provided technical assistance and project management services on many zero-emission bus deployment projects made possible through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Low or No Emission Vehicle Program (Low-No), TIGGER Program, and Clean Fuels Program. CTE has also demonstrated experience in the fuel cell arena as one of the three National Fuel Cell Bus Program Consortia responsible for deploying fuel cell transit buses for FTA. Through these and other programs, CTE has assisted nearly 200 transit agencies that have either deployed, or will deploy, more than 975 zero-emission buses. CTE has also managed or participated in almost 75 transit transition planning projects across the country. As a result, the level of experience and expertise with zero-emission buses that CTE provides to their clients is unprecedented in the transit industry (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 - CTE's Zero-Emission Project
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 5
Project Management Plan Based on CTE’s experience supporting transit agencies deploying fuel cell electric buses and installing hydrogen fueling infrastructure, CTE understands the objectives for this project. CTE is keenly aware of the challenges associated with procuring mobile hydrogen refueling as well as the installation of new, permanent infrastructure and the delivery of the buses. This includes the necessity of timing station installation and commissioning such that fuel is available upon bus delivery to allow an agency to complete acceptance before placing the buses in revenue service to avoid any disruptions in operation. An agency must ensure compatibility between the buses and the fueling station, addressing issues such as whether the agency desires communication fills. Operational considerations, such as comparable fill times to compressed natural gas (CNG) and the ability to complete back-to-back fills are also important. The zero-emission transit industry is constantly evolving, and technological advances are continuously occurring. It is realistic to expect that other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will introduce FCEBs into the marketplace, so it is important to consider the compatibility of the station with multiple OEMs. CTE also helps agencies consider any physical limitations at the facility. Agencies must consider sizing of stations for placement on the available property and the impact to daily operations not only during installation, but also following commissioning. Consideration also needs to be given to station sizing to support a growing FCEB fleet. Existing maintenance facilities may also require modifications to allow for servicing of the newly acquired FCEBs within the facility. CTE has played an active role in critical activities for the successful planning and deployment of FCEBs: • Assessing the state of the art of vehicle and infrastructure technologies; • Determining agency performance requirements; • Surveying agency facilities to determine the availability of utilities and the suitability of various sites to accommodate station configurations; • Evaluating the state of the industry to satisfy requirements; • Identifying equipment and vendor options; • Developing and managing solicitations for design and engineering services to upgrade facilities; • Preparing multiple RFPs for hydrogen stations; • Assisting transit agencies in their negotiations with the FCEB OEM to finalize vehicle specifications; and • Inspecting vehicle production to ensure adherence to QC/QA requirements. CTE will guide the entire project using established control and risk management procedures specifically designed for zero-emission bus projects. CTE provides strong and engaged oversight of project progress through a suite of management controls and procedures. More details on these methods are provided below in the Technical Approach section.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 6
CTE typically develops a high-level schedule as part of the proposal process that includes estimated durations for all project tasks. At the outset of a project, CTE meets with agency staff to review the proposed approach and finalize the work plan. CTE will initiate the project at a formal kick-off with project partners and stakeholders to present project objectives, scope, approach, assignments and timeline and to confirm the project team’s commitment in meeting the deliverables. Based on each team member’s input, CTE will identify the critical path for the plan and identify any project plan risks. CTE will be responsible for maintaining the overall schedule with input from team members. Team members will manage the detailed schedule for their assigned tasks and report schedule status for each regular team call. If the actual progress for a task is determined to be behind the planned schedule, CTE will determine if corrective action must be made based on the schedule variance, the amount of work remaining, the impact on other tasks, and impact on the overall schedule. Corrective action, if necessary, will be identified during the team conference calls. More detailed highlights of CTE’s project management processes and tools are as follows: Collaboration Tools: CTE will use a set of online, cloud-based, collaborative project management platforms to share project files and communications, coordinate tasks, track issues, and maintain project calendars. Communications Plan: Team members typically participate in weekly or bi-weekly conference calls to discuss project status and current issues. CTE will schedule and manage the calls using calendar invites. Meeting minutes will be taken and stored on a cloud storage service. If needed, virtual meetings will be employed to share meetings and presentations. CTE will schedule additional conference calls with team members as needed. Schedule Control Plan: CTE develops a high-level schedule as part of the proposal process that includes estimated durations for all project tasks. CTE will work with each project partner to develop a detailed schedule upon initiation of the project. Based on each partner’s inputs, CTE will establish individual task durations and dependences and will identify the critical path for the plan as well as any project plan risks. CTE will be responsible for maintaining the overall schedule. Project partners will manage the detailed schedule for their assigned tasks and report schedule status for each regular team call. If the actual progress for a task is determined to be behind the planned schedule, CTE will determine if corrective action must be made based on the schedule variance, the amount of work remaining, the impact on other tasks, and impact on the overall schedule. Corrective action, if necessary, will be identified during the team conference calls.

B) Staff Resumes See Attachment A_Resumes for resumes of all listed team members. Qualifications and Experience CTE developed a Zero-Emission Bus Smart Deployment Methodology to assist transit agencies through their zero-emission bus (ZEB) deployment programs. The cornerstone of CTE’s approach is to ensure that the fleet operator matches the most appropriate propulsion
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 9
technology to the intended use, operational strategy, and deployment situation.
Figure 2 - Steps in CTE's Zero-Emission Bus Smart Deployment Methodology CTE leveraged its experience in helping transit agencies through their initial zero-emission bus deployment programs to develop a Zero-Emission Bus Transition Planning Methodology for transit agencies. This methodology supports transit agencies planning for compliance with stakeholder zero-emission goals—and for California transit agencies, the California Air Resources Board’s Innovative Clean Transit Regulation. These plans consider bus and service requirements, fleet procurement timelines, infrastructure assessments, resiliency, bus and facilities capital costs, operating and maintenance cost impacts, and emission benefits.
Figure 3 - Steps in CTE's Zero-Emission Bus Transition Planning Methodology CTE’s involvement in hydrogen and fuel cell technology started in 2005 when CTE established and managed the Southern Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Coalition under a cooperative agreement with FTA. Through the program, CTE assembled 34 private and public organizations to explore
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 10
potential applications for fuel cell technology in the regional transportation system. Since 2005, CTE has performed approximately 20 projects deploying hydrogen FCEBs and the associated infrastructure, with more than 10 projects focused solely on studying, developing, and deploying hydrogen infrastructure, and nearly 10 projects deploying and demonstrating hydrogen fuel cell electric freight and logistics vehicles and the associated infrastructure. CTE has played a significant role in the development of the hydrogen fuel cell transit market. In 2008, CTE helped deploy the first FCEB, developed with Proterra, in Columbia, SC with FTA funds. The bus was demonstrated in transit service in Columbia, SC, in collaboration with the Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority and the University of South Carolina. The bus was fueled at a hydrogen station located near downtown Columbia. Following the demonstration in Columbia, the bus transitioned to Austin, TX, where it provided a year of transit service with Capital Metro. Fueling infrastructure for the Austin demonstration was provided through a collaborative effort with The University of Texas at Austin. Another exemplary project is CTE’s success in leading a team to respond to CARB’s FY 2014-15 Air Quality Improvement Program and Low Carbon Transportation Grant Solicitation for Zero-Emission Truck & Bus Pilot Commercial Deployment Projects supported by California Climate Investments. The FCEBCC was awarded more than $24 million in grants from CARB to launch and manage new and expanded FCEB projects at Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). This included the procurement of 20 FCEBs, building a new 50-bus capacity fueling station at OCTA, and expanding AC Transit’s Emeryville fueling station to fuel 60 or more buses. More recent projects are described in detail in the Relevant Projects section below. As a result of CTE’s long-standing presence in the hydrogen industry, CTE possesses the capability and expertise to complete the tasks outlined in this RFP. CTE provides its agency clients with objective, quantifiable data based on its past experience to help inform and support decisions related to hydrogen fueling infrastructure and FCEB deployments. CTE’s approach starts from understanding the agency’s operations and transition plan. Then CTE will conduct analyses to identify the zero-emission bus and infrastructure technology solutions best suited to implement the agency’s operations. From the outset of a project, CTE’s analysis is based on the established methodologies introduced above that rely on a suite of modeling tools. CTE is able to determine if an agency’s blocks are feasible for FCEBs, under both nominal and strenuous operating conditions. CTE’s analysis will inform an agency of the amount of hydrogen required daily to enable FCEB operation. With this information, CTE conducts fuel and cost modeling for various station scenarios. This approach combines quantitative analysis with a qualitative understanding of the products available on the market to inform the agency’s ultimate procurement approach and selection of a technology solution. Station scenarios evaluated are informed by variables such as fleet fuel usage, desired fueling throughput, expected on-site storage requirements, available footprint for the infrastructure, electrical capacity, availability of hydrogen supply, and an agency’s
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 11
budget. CTE will also help an agency understand the market and factors that affect station design and performance such as gaseous versus liquid delivery or on-site generation, necessary tank size for storage, station monitoring options, average daily boil-off, and energy used per kilogram. All of this informs a cost assessment that considers the equipment solution and fuel usage, accounting for costs beyond the quoted cost per kilogram. These may include boiloff, delivery fees, and electricity usage for station operation. These performance outputs ultimately inform considerations for the agency’s RFP development and evaluation for the hydrogen fueling station, setting the baseline requirements for the system’s capabilities. This enables the agency to develop an RFP focused on operational requirements rather than system specifications. Proposers will then design their solution to meet these requirements. CTE supports transit agencies as they transition to zero emission. As shown in Figure 3, CTE has developed a methodology that supports planning for compliance with stakeholder zero-emission goals—and for California transit agencies, the California Air Resources Board’s Innovative Clean Transit Regulation. These plans also meet and exceed FTA’s requirements under Section 5339. CTE’s comprehensive ZEB Transition Planning methodology provides transit agencies with a robust roadmap for converting their fleets to zero-emission buses. CTE offers a plan for phased implementation of ZEBs and supporting infrastructure that is based on the agency’s service and operations requirements. The analysis will include assessments of the fleet vehicles, refueling requirements, facilities, maintenance needs, emissions reductions, and overall resilience. The analysis effort will also include a comparison of the total cost of ownership of various technology transition scenarios. In addition to these analyses, the plan meets FTA’s requirements by including an assessment of the agency’s workforce and the impact of transitioning to zero-emission technologies, funding availability, the impact of policies and legislation on the transition, and consideration of the partnerships required to support the transition to zero emission. This effort culminates in the creation of the ZEB Transition Plan, a comprehensive report guiding the agency’s implementation of a zero-emission bus fleet. Throughout the project, CTE will rely on its previously introduced project management approach. The cornerstone of the approach is strong client engagement. CTE begins all of its projects with a kickoff to set expectations and understand the agency’s goals. This informs CTE’s approach to communication and finding solutions to any issues that may arise during the project. A) Relevant Projects Project Name: Foothill Transit Fuel Cell Consulting Services Agency: Foothill Transit Technical Experience: Foothill Transit, in West Covina, California, awarded a contract to CTE to provide project management and technical consulting services for the agency’s FCEB procurement.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 12
CTE supported the design and build of a hydrogen fueling station at Foothill Transit’s Pomona Operation and Maintenance Facility for an initial deployment of 33 FCEBs. CTE completed an analysis that considered Foothill Transit’s operations and expected performance of FCEBs to determine projected hydrogen consumption. The results from the analysis along with a review of the layout, logistics, vehicle flows, and schedule of activities at the Pomona facility informed the specifications included in the RFP document for the hydrogen fueling station. CTE developed scopes of work and performance specifications in support of Foothill Transit’s procurement department for the design and build of the hydrogen fueling station and oversaw the design of required maintenance facility upgrades to accommodate FCEBs. CTE supported Foothill Transit during the procurements by responding to vendor questions and providing technical support during evaluations. As part of the technical support provided to the agency, CTE completed a detailed review of project technical documents—such as drawings and specifications—by utilizing industry best practices, past lessons learned, and familiarity with applicable codes and standards. CTE also provided oversight throughout the design and construction processes. During a performance test conducted by station developer, Clean Energy, after the station was commissioned, Foothill Transit successfully refueled 18 fuel cell buses back-to-back in a 90-minute period. This was accomplished by utilizing two dispensers simultaneously, showcasing the station’s redundancy and commitment to seamless refueling operations. CTE also supported Foothill Transit by developing the performance specifications necessary to secure a temporary interim fueling solution. This process included identifying vendors, negotiating a lease agreement for the required equipment, and negotiating a contract for the fuel. CTE provided inspection services for the first bus to ensure all quality standards were met throughout bus production, helped identify funding sources to support future zero-emission bus deployments, and collaborated with Foothill Transit and Clean Energy to develop and hold a first-responder training program. Dates of Performance: December 2020 - June 2023 Project Name: Gold Coast Low-No Fuel Cell Electric Bus Deployment Agency: Gold Coast Transit District Technical Experience: CTE has partnered with Gold Coast Transit District (GCTD) for a successful award under the FTA 2022 Low-No Program. CTE is working with GCTD to deploy five 40’ New Flyer hydrogen FCEBs, a hydrogen fueling station that will be able to support 50 buses, and maintenance facility upgrades to add hydrogen detection and alarming capabilities. The five New Flyer FCEBs in this project will replace GCTD’s aging CNG buses that are at or near the end of their useful lives. CTE will also support GCTD in issuing an RFP for the hydrogen fueling infrastructure and an RFP for the facility upgrades. This project supports the City of Oxnard’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan goals by directly mitigating climate change impacts to benefit GCTD’s community by replacing GHG emitting CNG buses with zero- emission FCEBs. As the project continues, CTE is helping ensure that GCTD complies
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 13
with and is committed to meeting all requirements of California’s Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) Regulation. In May of 2023, CTE traveled to Ventura County, CA for the GCTD project kickoff, which included a Bus Procurement Workshop, a Hydrogen Facilities Workshop, and a Stakeholder Engagement Workshop. CTE and GCTD then began bus procurement and infrastructure activities in June of 2023. CTE and GCTD developed and published an infrastructure RFP in May of 2024, and the hydrogen station vendor selection is expected to take place in August of 2024. Dates of Performance: January 2023 – June 2026 Project Name: San Mateo County Transit District Fuel Cell Electric Bus and Infrastructure Feasibility Analysis Agency: San Mateo County Transit District Technical Experience: The San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) contracted CTE in April 2022 to evaluate the feasibility of SamTrans deploying 10 FCEBs. After CTE reported its findings to SamTrans in July 2022, the agency tasked CTE with evaluating the feasibility of SamTrans converting its entire North Base fleet to FCEBs. To complete these studies, CTE conducted site visits to the SamTrans North Base facility to assess potential locations for the placement of interim and permanent fueling stations and to determine the facility upgrades required to enable the safe maintenance and operation of FCEBs. CTE also led road tests of New Flyer FCEBs on SamTrans routes then conducted data analyses to determine the fuel efficiency of future SamTrans FCEBs. Further, CTE completed a market survey of hydrogen fueling station and fuel suppliers, assessed route feasibility and fuel needs analyses for multiple potential FCEB fleet-size scenarios, and presented a lifecycle cost and requirements analysis of a transition to a full-FCEB North Base fleet. CTE delivered a report to SamTrans regarding its analysis of a North Base FCEB transition in March of 2023. SamTrans utilized the report in a presentation to its board which recommended the full conversion of its North Base fleet to FCEB technology. In April of 2023 and in June of 2024, SamTrans issued new work directives to CTE to provide deployment support for the agency’s interim hydrogen fueling solution, to conduct analyses on the performance of SamTrans’ newly received FCEBs, and to support SamTrans in the issuance of a competitive procurement of a full-scale hydrogen station.

Mr. Walton may be contacted at [email protected] or 478-334-4049, and Ms. Gibson may be contacted at [email protected] or 470-233-1451. The project team will complete each milestone identified in the scope of work. In the following calendar month after completion of each milestone, CTE will send one invoice (Net 30) to the client. If multiple milestones were completed, there will be multiple line items. If there were no milestones completed, CTE will not send an invoice. CTE typically does not bill partial milestones. Task 1: Needs Assessment, Work Plan and Schedule Duration: 3 months Task 1.1: Needs Assessment Duration: 3 months CTE will guide the project team in project planning activities. This task will result in a formal kick-off of the project with all stakeholders and project team members to align the project team
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 16
on objectives, tasks, assignments, timelines, and expectations to successfully meet project goals. Next, CTE will confirm the technical specifications for the fueling equipment. CTE will evaluate the required range of buses based on the duty cycle of scheduled routes selected for this deployment project and will determine daily fuel consumption and throughput requirements necessary to support deployment given Montebello’s fueling window. CTE will model Montebello’s’ routes and the OEM/Model bus to predict the range and performance of the bus on the target routes. The model uses Autonomie powertrain simulation software, which was developed by Argonne National Laboratory for the heavy-duty trucking industry and modified by CTE for zero-emission transit buses. CTE will collect route data by riding selected routes on an existing in-service Montebello bus with a GPS data logger to capture time, distance, speed, acceleration, GPS coordinates, and grade. CTE will also collect data on local environmental conditions, passenger loading profiles, route planning details, and blocking schedules from the agency. CTE will use this data along with specifications for OEM/Model options to simulate bus operations on agency routes. The results of the simulation provide the agency with information to be used as a guide to inform fueling strategies. As part of the fuel production and dispensing analysis, CTE will estimate a station scale-up plan to be included during station design discussions. The model for station evaluation will be used to refine the station specifications and to prepare the solicitation documents for selecting a fuel supplier. CTE will develop station specifications based on expected daily fuel demand, desired hourly fueling rates (number of vehicles fueled per hour – average and max), fueling window (start/finish/number of hours), operational logistics and schedule at the operating division (fueling process, circulation in the yard, pull-out and pull-in schedules), available space for station siting, construction and continued operation, and available utilities. Additionally, CTE will provide a preliminary assessment of required upgrades to mechanical and electrical systems and installation of hydrogen detection and alarm systems in maintenance buildings to safely maintain hydrogen-fueled buses, leading to the procurement of a qualified engineering firm to prepare detailed plans and drawings. Finally, CTE will develop a Community Presentation to present to three neighborhood associations and/or community leadership groups. The presentation shall be part of an existing event. CTE will work with Montebello staff to develop a community outreach plan that establishes an outreach timeline and identifies community-based organizations and their planned events. Task 1.2: Work Plan and Schedule Duration: 1 month CTE has crafted a comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure (Figure 4) by drawing upon the specified scope of services, leveraging CTE’s past experiences in executing similar projects.

will adhere to a well-established and proven Project Management methodology to ensure successful completion of the project.
Figure 4: Phase I Work Breakdown Structure CTE will create a work plan in Smartsheet to be incorporated into all forecasting and budget documents maintained by CTE. Project managers complete a forecast on a monthly basis for all active projects. The forecast accounts for funds expended to date by task and remaining funds by task. It also includes a projection of the estimated hours remaining in each task and the forecast for expenditures. Project managers use this information to keep their projects within scope and budget. This information acts as an early indicator of any potential budget or scope issues, allowing the project manager sufficient time to take corrective action. Task 2: Mobile Hydrogen Fueling Station and Maintenance Facility Modification RFP Task 2.1: Mobile Hydrogen Fueling Station RFP Duration: 8 months This phase of CTE activities includes confirming the technical specification for the fueling equipment, developing an RFP, and advising on the responses. It is anticipated this phase will take eight months, including management approval and authorization from MBL’s Board to circulate an RFP and, ultimately, Board adoption of a negotiated contract with the successful vendor. CTE is well versed on the state of the industry and has prepared a detailed list of potential providers, to guide the drafting of an RFP and related evaluation criteria. CTE will collaborate with MBL staff to prepare the RFQ document. This includes organizing and managing the pre-proposal conference, handling inquiries in both written and oral forms, providing responses, and crafting any necessary addenda. CTE has assumed an aggressive schedule to build and commission the station and will ask respondents how they plan to meet the deadlines for work to be completed within eight months.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 18
Three critical performance issues that must be addressed by applicants who wish to provide the mobile fueling station are 1) controlling boiloff of liquid and minimizing or avoiding venting of fuel, 2) maximizing the speed of fueling to achieve parity with refueling speeds of MBL’s CNG buses, and 3) ensuring a 95% or greater state of charge, as measured by mass, to provide maximum range of the vehicle. In the evaluation process, CTE would act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the City of Montebello evaluation committee and respond to questions about technology, industry standards, experience with other stations of a similar design, and the current status and future expectations of hydrogen supply and cost. Furthermore, CTE will offer assistance to MBL in negotiating the final terms and conditions for the capital project contract with the chosen vendor including their cost structure, startup schedule and cost and expense-monitoring formats and strategies. All these steps will be concluded before presenting the staff recommendation to the City of Montebello City Council. Task 2.2: Maintenance Facility Modification RFP Duration: 8 months Apart from the station project, CTE will assist MBL in developing an RFP to aid in the selection of an A&E firm to conduct gas detection and fire alarm system upgrades necessary for its maintenance facility.

The responsibility of maintaining the overarching schedule will rest with CTE, with regular input and contributions from team members.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 20
For their assigned tasks, team members will be tasked with overseeing the detailed schedule and providing schedule status updates during regular team meetings. In instances where the actual progress for a task lags behind the planned schedule, CTE will assess the need for corrective action, considering factors such as schedule variance, remaining work, its impact on other tasks, and its overall impact on the schedule. Any necessary corrective actions will be identified during team conference calls. Risk Management and Mitigation Plan CTE provides strong and engaged oversight of project progress through the suite of management controls and procedures outlined above. CTE’s management method ensures quick recognition of any project risks that arise. CTE’s project approach includes identifying, documenting, and tracking issues. Issues are assigned to project team members for research, analysis, and resolution. Issues and related tasks are prioritized to ensure that project team members remain focused on the right activities at the right time. Critical issues that remain unresolved or proposed solutions that impact project timeline, scope, budget or resources are escalated to MBL management for immediate attention. Task 4: Training and Support Duration: 2 months In this final stage, MBL personnel will undergo essential training to safely operate and maintain the fueling station. CTE will collaborate with MBL's Safety Department to enhance MBL's Emergency Response Plan and pinpoint crucial actions to be taken in case of a gas leak or hydrogen fire emergency. This phase also involves CTE coordinating and conducting first-responder training for employees, firefighters, and police, which will be synchronized with the station developer. Building on experience and knowledge gained managing similar projects, CTE will coordinate and conduct performance and safety seminars to ensure proper training. A) Phase II Plan of Action Task 1: Develop permanent ZE Bus Facilities and Fleet Transition Plan Duration: 3 months CTE will support MBL’s in-house planning group and the project team on planning-related activities. This phase will result in a formal kick-off with all stakeholders and project team members to align the tasks, assignments, timelines, and expectations to successfully meet project goals and objectives.

Upon identification of relevant opportunities, CTE has experienced, qualified staff dedicated to grant writing. They are responsible for overseeing the proposal preparation process and following established internal processes. CTE’s engineering consultants and project managers work closely with the grant writing staff to ensure proposals are technically feasible and well thought out. CTE will offer grant writing as a service for three competitive bids including but not limited to FTA, CEC, and CARB. Task 3: Procurement Assistance Task 3.1: Fueling Facility RFQ and RFP Duration: 9 months This phase of CTE activities includes confirming the technical specification for the fueling equipment, developing an RFQ and RFP, and advising on the responses. It is anticipated this
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 22
phase will take six months, including management approval and authorization from MBL’s Board to circulate an RFP and, ultimately, Board adoption of a negotiated contract with the successful vendor. CTE is well versed on the state of the industry and has prepared a detailed list of potential station providers, in order to guide the drafting of an RFQ and related evaluation criteria. CTE will collaborate with MBL staff to prepare the RFP document and will play a key role in overseeing the entire RFP process. This includes organizing and managing the pre-proposal conference, handling inquiries in both written and oral forms, providing responses, and crafting any necessary addenda. CTE has assumed an aggressive schedule to build and commission the station and will ask respondents how they plan to meet the deadlines for work to be completed within 18 months. The collection of documents will define the project's scope and provide an estimate of its cost. These documents will include various elements such as the quality standards for materials, equipment, workmanship, equipment location, and any other essential information required to effectively communicate the agency's requirements. Additionally, the documents will include a pricing submission form and an overview of the review process. As discussed in Phase I: Task 2.1, CTE would act as an SME for the City of Montebello evaluation committee and respond to questions about technology, industry standards, experience with other stations of a similar design, and the current status and future expectations of hydrogen supply and cost. Furthermore, CTE will offer assistance to MBL in negotiating the final terms and conditions for the capital project contract with the chosen vendor including their cost structure, startup schedule and cost and expense-monitoring formats and strategies. All these steps will be concluded before presenting the staff recommendation to the City of Montebello City Council. Task 3.2: Maintenance Facility RFQ and RFP Duration: 4 months Apart from the station project, CTE will assist MBL in developing an RFP to aid in the selection of an A&E firm to conduct gas detection and fire alarm system upgrades necessary for its maintenance facility. CTE’s responsibility will include reviewing performance specifications and, if needed, clarifying technical areas of concern. The A&E firm will conduct an assessment of existing mechanical and electrical systems to determine what upgrades are required for working with hydrogen and will provide engineering services for this task. Their responsibilities will include the development of working drawings and specifications for the necessary facility modifications and assisting MBL in obtaining building permits from the authority having jurisdiction. In the next task, CTE will collaborate with MBL staff and the A&E firm to supervise the construction and installation of these systems.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 23
Task 4: Project Management Task 4.1: Construction Oversight and Coordination Duration: 30 months During the design and construction phases of the project, CTE will assist MBL staff with project oversight, providing the experience and knowledge it has gained managing similar projects, to ensure successful execution. Part of this responsibility includes serving as the point of contact between MBL’s planning group and any outside industrial or safety advisory groups. CTE will also act as a liaison with the chosen hydrogen supplier to coordinate the transportation and delivery of the fuel to the fueling station. As the first part of this task, CTE will collaborate with MBL and the station vendor to finalize site plans and secure all the necessary permits for the hydrogen fueling station. CTE strongly recommends involving the fire marshal and local authorities before commencing the detailed station design work. An orientation and project overview session with fire officials and other municipal staff will be arranged by CTE. Additionally, CTE recommends conducting a safety audit by the Hydrogen Safety Panel when the station design is 60% complete. After the station's site preparation is finished, the fuel provider will proceed to install and commission the equipment. CTE has assumed an aggressive schedule to construct and commission the station within 20 months after issuing a Notice to Proceed (NTP) to the station vendor. This schedule is based on the assumption that the design phase will take four months, permitting will require another four months, and construction, installation, and commissioning will be completed in the subsequent twelve months. This estimated timeline is contingent on there being no delays in the permitting process, no delay in the delivery of equipment, and that commissioning is completed in one month. Typically, permitting and equipment delivery are the critical factors influencing the schedule. The civil construction work may be as short as five months, weather permitting, and the equipment installation is a matter of a few days, while commissioning could extend to as long as two months. It's important to note that based on past project experience, CTE assumes no less than an 18-month process from NTP for station RFP and build projects. We take this conservative measure to account for the possibility of a delay. CTE will assist the station vendor with commissioning activities. Task 4.2: Project Management and Reporting Duration: Entirety of Project As discussed as part of Phase I: Task 3 - Project Management and Equipment Delivery Consulting Services and repeated here, CTE will oversee the entire project through the control and risk management protocols outlined here. By managing the work program centrally, CTE will allow team members to focus on surpassing project objectives and ensure the production of deliverables is executed with clarity and seamless coordination. The specific methods employed by CTE to ensure the efficient completion of these tasks are elaborated below.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 24
Collaboration Tools CTE will furnish an online, cloud-based project management platform that encourages collaboration. This platform will facilitate the sharing of project documents and communication, task coordination, issue tracking, and the maintenance of project schedules. Communication Strategy Team members will engage in regular conference calls, occurring weekly or bi-weekly, to deliberate on project progress and address ongoing concerns. CTE will handle the scheduling and management of these calls through calendar invitations. Meeting minutes will be documented and saved on the project platform. When team members prefer a presentation format for sharing updates, Zoom or a similar video conferencing tool will be employed. Additionally, CTE will arrange supplementary conference calls as necessary. Reporting Strategy CTE will provide MBL with a Management Report on a Monthly or Quarterly basis, delivering a condensed overview of the progress and achievements from the preceding period, alongside projections for the remainder of the project. These reports will be structured to facilitate seamless integration of the information into any requisite reports requested by funding agencies. They will comprehensively document project advancement and activities, while also outlining any identified risks and corresponding mitigation strategies. CTE will compile the reports with input from team members, utilizing a report template that will include: • Summary narrative outlining achievements categorized by tasks/milestones during the period; • Approximated percentage completion and anticipated completion dates for tasks/milestones; • Noteworthy occurrences impacting progress, accompanied by a discussion of any project discrepancies; and • Projected activities for the subsequent period Project File Furthermore, at the project's culmination, CTE will compile a comprehensive Project File encapsulating project accomplishments, realized benefits, and valuable insights gained. This Project File will include an executive summary, all pertinent project-related data, written and electronic correspondences, project milestones and schedules, discussion of lessons learned, steps to mitigate developing risks, and other relevant information documenting the history of the project from beginning to startup. Schedule Management Plan As part of this proposal, CTE has formulated a comprehensive high-level schedule that includes estimated timeframes for all project phases. During the Planning and Initiation phase of the project, CTE will collaborate closely with each team member to develop a detailed schedule.
Center for Transportation and the Environment Page 25
Drawing from the inputs of each team member, CTE will ascertain the critical path for the plan and evaluate potential project plan risks. The responsibility of maintaining the overarching schedule will rest with CTE, with regular input and contributions from team members. For their assigned tasks, team members will be tasked with overseeing the detailed schedule and providing schedule status updates during regular team meetings. In instances where the actual progress for a task lag behind the planned schedule, CTE will assess the need for corrective action, considering factors such as schedule variance, remaining work, its impact on other tasks, and its overall impact on the schedule. Any necessary corrective actions will be identified during team conference calls. Risk Management and Mitigation Plan CTE will maintain the same control and risk management protocols outlined in Phase I: Task 3 - Project Management and Equipment Delivery Consulting Services. CTE provides strong and engaged oversight of project progress through the suite of management controls and procedures outlined above. CTE’s management method ensures quick recognition of any project risks that arise. CTE’s project approach includes identifying, documenting, and tracking issues. Issues are assigned to project team members for research, analysis, and resolution. Issues and related tasks are prioritized to ensure that project team members remain focused on the right activities at the right time. Critical issues that remain unresolved or proposed solutions that impact project timeline, scope, budget or resources are escalated to MBL management for immediate attention.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
John Soria, Director
SUBJECT: AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 TRANSIT CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS
DATE: October 23, 2024
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Amend the Transportation Department (Transit) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25, for a total amount of $12,192,622 in the accounts and amounts as listed on Attachments A and B; and
2. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Transit’s Capital Improvement Program (see Attachments A and B) is funded by federal, state, and local grant awards. Appropriating these funds allows previously and newly approved CIP projects to use project funding remaining from Fiscal Year 2023-24 (i.e., carryover amounts). The budget will be amended in the amounts listed on Attachments A and B in the "FY 2023-24 Carry Over Budget" column.
Projects listed in Attachment B reflect ongoing/in-progress projects with purchase orders carried over to FY 2024-25. Revenues associated with these projects will also be carried over to FY 2024-25. Amending the revenue budget allows for accurate tracking of grant funds reimbursement.
Lastly, major phases of the CIP will be implemented across multiple fiscal years with some projects currently in the initial stages. Therefore, the FY 2024-25 Transit CIP budget will need to be amended to include a total amount of $12,192,622 in
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2024
appropriations, which is the total carryover amount from the adopted FY 2023-24 CIP budget.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City’s annual budget development process includes the City Council adopting a yearly CIP budget encompassing projects across all departments and functional areas.
Transit has identified $12,192,622 in grant funded projects that require expenditure and revenue appropriations in FY 2024-25 -- carryover amounts that are needed to complete various projects. Transit’s CIP is funded by various revenue sources: Metro Local Return, California Department of Transportation (PTMISEA, LCTOP), Measure R, Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and SB1 (State of Good Repairs Program).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: John Soria, Director
SUBJECT: AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE
FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION GRANT FUNDING FOR THE
PURCHASE OF A MOBILE HYDROGEN FUELING STATION, AN
ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND NON-REVENUE
RELIEF VEHICLES
DATE: October 23, 2024
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve receipt of Six million, Four Hundred and Thirty-Six Thousand Dollars ($6,436,000) in federal grant funding awarded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to purchase a mobile hydrogen fueling station, an enterprise asset management system (EAM System), and non-revenue relief vehicles; and,
2. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024-25 adopted operating budget to appropriate the FTA grant funds by increasing appropriations by a total amount of $6,838,500 as detailed in the Fiscal Impact section below (Table 1); and,
3. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On September 6, 2024, the FTA awarded the City of Montebello grant funding of $6,436,000 under Grant No. CA-2024-198-00 (Attachment A) for use by Montebello Bus Lines (MBL) to purchase a mobile hydrogen fueling station, an enterprise asset management (EAM) system, and non-revenue relief vehicles. This grant is categorized under FTA Section 5307 (5307 Funding) and distributed through the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Bus Operators Subcommittee (BOS).
The FY 2024-25 adopted budget must be amended to utilize these funds. The budget
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2024
amendment will also include a local non-Federal twenty percent (20%) match, utilizing Senate Bill 1/State Transit Assistance (SB1/STA) funds for the EAM System project, in accordance with FTA requirements. The funding allocations for Grant No. CA-2024-198- 00 and the matching funds for each project are as follows:
Table 1
The recommended actions include amending the FY 2024-25 budget by the amounts and in the accounts listed in Table 1.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On June 26, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 24-49 (Attachment B), authorizing the submission of applications to the FTA to secure funding to purchase a mobile hydrogen fueling station, an EAM System, and non-revenue relief vehicles.
Subsequently, the City was awarded Grant No. CA-2024-198-00 through the FTA Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program.
A. Mobile Hydrogen Fuel Cell Fueling Station
On October 27, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-80 approving MBL’s Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Rollout Plan to serve as a blueprint for how MBL plans to achieve a full transition to zero-emissions (ZE) technologies by 2040. The ZEB Rollout Plan provides information on strategies necessary to address MBL’s current bus fleet composition, future bus purchases, facilities and infrastructure modifications, and potential funding sources. Following the ZEB Rollout Plan, MBL identified 5307 Funding as an additional funding opportunity to assist with the purchase of a mobile hydrogen fueling station.
B. Enterprise Asset Management System
Upgrading the EAM System is a pivotal component to MBL’s strategic transition to a ZE fleet, as detailed in the ZEB Rollout Plan. The proposed upgrade aims to streamline operations by automating key functions such as work order tracking, staff productivity, and warehouse inventory management. The EAM System will support the integration of the new hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) by facilitating preventative maintenance schedules based on mileage and enhancing warranty tracking.
C. Non-Revenue Relief Vehicles
MBLs aging fleet of non-revenue relief vehicles have met or exceeded FTA’s useful life benchmark (ULB). Replacing these vehicles is crucial for maintaining operational

reliability and efficiency. These vehicles are essential for supporting day-to-day operations, including staff transportation, to ensure services go uninterrupted during each operator shift change.
