FROM: Matt Horn, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Paul Fields, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1709 (2022 SERIES) AWARDING A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT TO PHILLIPS 66
PIPELINE LLC
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1709 (2022 Series) entitled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, granting to Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC, a franchise to construct, operate and maintain pipelines for the transportation of oil and other specified materials in the City of San Luis Obispo.”
DISCUSSION
Background
On January 11, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intention to consider the award of a franchise agreement to Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC and setting a public hearing for February 15, 2022. During the public hearing the City Council voted 5:0 to introduce Ordinance 1709 (2022 Series), granting to Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC a franchise to operate and maintain common carrier pipelines located in the City’s rightsof-way. Minor revisions have been made to Article 15 pertaining to insurance. These revisions have been reviewed and approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
Policy Context
The process for adoption of a new franchise agreement is prescribed by the Public Utilities Code (Section 6232-6234). The following schedule consistent with the statute has been followed:
January 11, 2022: Introduce and pass resolution of intent February 15, 2022: Hold public hearing and introduce ordinance March 15, 2022: Second reading and final adoption or ordinance April 14, 2022: Ordinance becomes effective
Item 5c
Article X of the City Charter empowers the City Council to grant by ordinance a franchise to furnish the City and its inhabitants with public utilities. In line with the Public Utilities Code, and the City Charter, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intention to grant the franchise and set a public hearing for the February 15, 2022, City Council meeting. At the public hearing the City Council introduced Ordinance 1709 (2022 Series) awarding a franchise agreement to Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC.
Public Engagement
The introduction of the ordinance was part of a public hearing before the City Council. In accordance with the California Public Utilities Code, a notice of public hearing was issued in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. The item was made available for public comment at the February 15, 2022, City Council meeting.
CONCURRENCE
The Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office concur with this recommendation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The renewal of the franchise agreements is categorically exempt from the provisions for the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with section 15061(b)(3). The proposed award of the franchise to Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC will continue the operation and maintenance of an existing pipeline. No new development or intensification of development would result from the franchise, therefore there is no potential for significant effects on the environment.

Item 5c
The City will receive revenue of $6,700 annually associated with granting of the proposed franchise agreement for pipeline services. This amount is calculated based on the applicable rates as permissible by the California Public Utilities Commission.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not adopt Ordinance No. 1709 (2022) Series. This alternative is not recommended because it is in the City’s best interest to have a qualified company operate and maintain the existing pipeline infrastructure within the City’s right-of-way. Should the City Council express its intention to not award the franchise to Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC, the applicant would have three available options. The first would be to request City approval to physically remove the pipeline from the City’s right-of-way. The second option would be to leave the pipeline in its current location but seal it where it enters and leaves the City, thereby rendering it unusable. The third option would be to initiate a condemnation action against the City under the Public Utilities Code in order to obtain through eminent domain a subsurface easement or other rights to utilize the pipeline within the City.

As recommended by the Council Liaison Subcommittees, make appointments to the City of San Luis Obispo's (City) advisory bodies as set forth below and continue to recruit for any unfilled vacant positions.
DISCUSSION
The City has a long history of involving its residents in the business of City government.
Holding a position on an advisory body provides an opportunity for interested residents to participate in the governing of their community under guidelines and procedures established by Council. The City recruits annually to fill scheduled vacancies, making new appointments each March to fill terms that typically commence on April 1st of each year.
Recruitment for unscheduled vacancies is done as needed but is consolidated with the annual recruitment whenever possible.
This year the City recruited to fill 31 scheduled and unscheduled citizen Advisory Body positions. The recruitment was conducted between November 24, 2021 and January 16, 2022. A total of 46 qualified applications were received. Council Liaison Subcommittees reviewed applications and conducted interviews during the months of January and February 2022. The following recommendations will fill 24 of these vacancies.
Recruitment for the remaining vacancies continues.
No vacancies currently exist on the Area Agency on Aging, the Citizen Transportation Committee, the Housing Authority Board, the Investment Oversight Committee, or the Tourism Business Improvement District Board. Therefore, no recruitment was held for these Advisory Bodies.

Policy Context
The Advisory Body Handbook, last adopted by City Council in September 2021, outlines the recruitment procedures, membership requirements, and term limits. Also contained in the Advisory Body Handbook are the bylaws for all advisory bodies, some of which include additional membership requirements. Additionally, the City Council Policies and Procedures Manual, last adopted in April 2021, describes the “Appointment Procedure” and “Process” for Advisory Body appointments. Recruitment and appointment recommendations were performed in conformance with all recruitment procedures, processes, and bylaws found in these resources.
California Government Code Section 54972, Local Appointments List (Maddy Act) requires that on or before December 31st of each year, each legislative body shall prepare an appointments list for their boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the legislative body. This obligation was met and is on-going.
Public Engagement
Notices that the City was accepting applications for the above listed Advisory Bodies were placed in The New Times, on the City’s website and “e-notification” service, listed in the annual Local Appointments List (Maddy Act Notice – GC 54972) on the City Website and City Information kiosk, and distributed via City social media outlets.
CONCURRENCE
As presented in the recommendations, the various City Council sub-committees for the Advisory Bodies are in concurrence with the stated recommendations along with the City Clerk’s office that coordinated and organized the process.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Matt Horn, Public Works Director
VIA: Derek Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: ITEM 5E – AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE TRANSIT FACILITY EV
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
Staff received the following paraphrased questions from Council regarding the Transit Facility Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Project, Specification Number 1000535.
This correspondence addresses those questions.
1) Question: What are ZEBs?
Answer: ZEBs is an acronym for Zero Emission Buses. The two electric buses the City is acquiring in 2022 are both zero emission buses (ZEBs) that will replace two aged diesel transit buses.
2) Question: Where are ChargePoint EV chargers installed and are these chargers supported by an app that can be use throughout the state? Answer: ChargePoint chargers have been installed at the Marsh Street Parking Structure and the City Hall Parking Lot. ChargePoint chargers are also planned to be installed at the Corporation Yard to support the City’s Electric Vehicle expansion. ChargePoint does provide a mobile application that can be used by the public to access EV charging stations in addition to complimenting and creating a charging ecosystem should a ChargePoint be installed as a home charger. The City currently has a contract with ChargePoint for the public chargers installed at the Marsh Street Parking Structure. At this time there is no plan to use a mobile application at the Transit Facility as these are not open to the public for use. 3) Question: From the Financial Section of the staff report, it seems like we will be able to more than cover the costs of these two chargers (1.3 mil) without the use of Transit Fund (including the ARPA, LCTOP and rebates from PG&E and APCD), so why is budget from the Transit Funds included in this project? Answer: Staff is currently pursuing multiple grant opportunities, rebates, and reimbursement opportunities for this project. The Fiscal Impact section of the report is intended to show Council that the project has multiple funding options and staff will utilize available budget to complete the project. Some funding sources are
Item 5e - Authorization to Advertise Transit Facility EV Charging Infrastructure Page 2 in the form of rebates and reimbursements and may not be provided prior to the completion of the project. In this case these funds will be used to reimburse the Transit Fund and support future projects. If enough funding is secured outside the Transit Fund prior to the start of work, the remaining project budget will be returned to the Transit Fund for future projects and expenses.

RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the project plans and specifications for the Transit Facility Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, Specification Number 1000535; and
2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids; and
3. Authorize the Finance Director to appropriate American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding and Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) funding upon award; and
4. Authorize the City Manager to award the Construction Contract pursuant to Section
3.24.190 of the Municipal Code for the bid total, if the lowest responsible bid is within the publicly disclosed funding limit of $950,000 and within the available project budget; and
5. Authorize the City Engineer to approve Contract Change Orders up to the available project budget; and
6. Approve a City Sole Source purchase from ChargePoint in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the purchase of two ChargePoint Express 250 Chargers and authorize the Finance Director to execute and issue a Purchase Order upon receipt of final quote.
DISCUSSION
Background
The State of California’s Air Resource Board has mandated that transit agencies convert to zero emission vehicles by 2040. The City of San Luis Obispo’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) also has the ambitious goal for City services to be carbon neutral by 2030. In support of this, City Council has previously approved the purchase of two (2) electric transit vehicles on July 7, 2020, to replace two aged diesel transit buses. These zero emission buses (ZEB) are expected to be delivered in 2022. Transit agencies require infrastructure at their facilities to deploy and operate ZEB technology as efficiently and productively as possible. SLO Transit requires the proposed infrastructure to achieve the City’s current CAP goals and compliance with the State’s Innovative Clean Transit Mandate.
Item 5e
The Project
This project will construct the electric vehicle infrastructure needed to support the City’s acquisition of two zero emission buses. The project includes infrastructure improvements for a twenty-bus bay to be used by both existing diesel buses and electric buses as they are acquired. The project will also install two ChargePoint Express 250 units within the new bus bay for the first two electric buses and stub out future conduit for the expansion of the electric fleet. Chargers and electric buses will likely need a ratio close to 1 to 1 in that most of the operational electric buses will need to charge every night so the buses are useable during the day.
The project also includes an additive alternate scope of work. This project’s additive alternate bid items include infrastructure improvements for another four-bus bay and two charger facility to the east of the existing Transit Maintenance Building. With the additive alternate bid items, the contractors bidding the project provide the cost of the additive items of work and staff will make the determination whether to award this portion of work if the cost is within available budget. If it is not within the available budget to award the additive alternate, the work will be deferred until the future electric fleet expansion requires these additional chargers.
Sole Source Justification
Staff recommends purchasing the charger units directly from ChargePoint which will ensure chargers meet the requirements of the City’s new buses, reduce the construction duration in material delivery, and help the City acquire PG&E incentive rebates for approved charger infrastructure. Staff recommends pursuing a sole source justification (Attachment C) pursuant to San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Chapter 3.24.060 because the products from ChargePoint have been standardized at other City facilities.
The product is also compliant with the Federal Transportation Authority (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Buy America Options. This project is using federal dollars and must comply with federal procurement requirements. Referring to FTA Circular 4220.1F, sole source procurement is acceptable if one or more conditions are satisfied:
i. Unique Capability or Availability
ii. Unique or Innovative Concept
iii. Patents or Restricted Data Rights
iv. Substantial Duplication Costs
v. Unacceptable Delay
Item 5e
In this case, the following conditions exist:
Unique Capability or availability. The charge units from ChargePoint meets the power and charging requirements for the City ZEBs. ChargePoint is the only US firm with available unit within delivery timeframe for this project.
Unacceptable Delay. The other firms are from outside the US and delivery delays would cause unacceptable delays to the completion of the project.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
This Project was identified in the 2021-23 Financial Plan that was approved by Council.
Policy Context
Consistent with the October 2018 Purchasing Policy Update to the July 2015 Financial Management Manual, Council approval must be obtained before proceeding with this project, as approval is required for Public Projects that cost over $175,000.
Public Engagement
Public engagement was conducted during the initial identification of this Project to be included in the 2021-23 Financial Plan.
CONCURRENCE
This project has the concurrence of the Administration and Public Works Departments.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because this project proposes to work within the exiting transit facility. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable City Regulations. A Notice of Exemption will be filed through the Community Development Department upon Council approval of the project.
Staff is also proposing to federalize this project through the use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds. The project is exempt from NEPA review under the Categorical Exclusions (C-List) Class II(c) for Type 08: maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of facilities that occupy substantially the same geographic footprint and do not result in a change of functional use.

Item 5e
This project is identified in the 2021-23 Financial Plan, Capital Improvement Program (page 485). Funding for a portion of this project is available in the project account 1000535. The remaining project costs are proposed to be paid by grant opportunities.
One source of potential funding for this project is ARPA funding. The Transit Program of Public Works is actively pursuing grant funding up to $898,093 for electric vehicle charging infrastructure projects. This funding is specific to transit projects and is part of the Federal Transit Administration ARPA apportionment and is separate from the $13.5 million in Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds identified with the Mid-Year Budget Report. Transit staff is expecting this funding to be secured by April 2022 in time for award of the project.
Another source of potential funding for this project is the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP). The LCTOP grant funding is locally approved and actively being pursued by the Transit Program of Public Works (Attachment D). Staff estimates this funding will be secured by July 2022 and will align with the delivery of the two charger units to be purchased by the City. These funds will be used to supplement the project construction costs and charger purchase if available before completion of the project.
If sufficient grant funding is not secured prior to the award of the project and bid results are higher than the available project budget, staff will return to City Council to recommend additional fund transfers to complete the project.
The City is also working with PG&E and the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) to receive rebates and reimbursements for completing this project to support the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the future expansion of the electric fleet. PG&E will provide a rebate of up to $25,000 per eligible charger installed. This project will install two chargers at this time and be eligible for a $50,000 rebate. APCD is currently providing a reimbursement of up to 60% of eligible costs for EV infrastructure projects depending on their total available funding. The City anticipates receiving approximately $420,000 in reimbursements from APCD for eligible construction expenses.
ALTERNATIVES
Deny or defer approval to advertise. The City Council may choose to deny or defer the approval to advertise this project. Staff does not recommend this option, as the transit facility requires significant infrastructure to be installed in order to charge the electric bus that has been ordered to begin compliance with the City’s Climate Action Major City Goal, including carbon neutral municipal operations by 2030.
