3) Project Costs - Provide an itemized breakdown of project components and describe how the cost estimations were developed. Please include marketing and bus wraps cost in this section. Total costs must correspond to the Funding Information section above. No more than 14 lines.
Project costs are based on current discussions with Union City Transit's engineering consultants. The estimated cost to install the infrastructure is $1,949,489 using a mixture of Alameda County Transportation Commission TFCA and VRF funds, LCTOP funds from prior years, and TDA Article 4.0 Capital funds to cover the costs of acquisition and installation of infrastructure that will support up to sixteen (16) electric vehicles charging simultaneously. 1) One (1) ABB Switchboard: $248,028
2) Eight (8) ABB 150 Kilowatt Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Chargers: $1,324,000 3) Eight (8) Heliox 60 Kilowatt Mobile Chargers: $377,461 4) PG&E Rebates may no longer apply to the project and are not included.

1) Project Description - Provide a comprehensive project description. For operations projects, include: #of trips, span, frequency improvements, days of operation and marketing component (if applicable). For capital projects, include:
product specifications and identify all LCTOP funded components. No more than 14 lines.
Union City Transit plans to construct electric vehicle charging infrastructure for the planned vehicles it procured and what is necessary for future electric transit vehicle procurements at its Public Works Maintenance Facility (Corpyard) where the current Union City Transit fleet is parked, fueled, and cleaned. The installation will include a dedicated transformer (as determined through PG&E engineering, not funded through LCTOP), behind-the-meter switchgear cabinets, conduit to parking stalls, and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) with a charge rating of 150kW.
The charging infrastructure Union City Transit is designing will support up to sixteen (16) vehicles at one (1) time using load balancing technology. As currently proposed, this charging infrastructure will support specifically eight (8) transit buses that each travel 40,000 miles a year and eight (8) vehicles used for paratransit and microtransit that will travel between 10,000 and 20,000 miles a year.
2) Project Planning - Provide a detailed explanation of the project planning process and how it was designed to avoid substantial burden on any low- income, disadvantaged, and vulnerable populations. Include any public outreach, events, workshops or community input. No more than 14 lines.
This project is an upgrade to the existing Public Works Maintenance Facility (Corpyard) and has not required any public outreach because all work is inside the walls of the facility.
No burden is being placed on priority populations or the surrounding community. There is more benefit to be had with the reduction in noise coming from quieter transit vehicles and charging infrastructure once they are delivered and installed.

Greenhouse Gas Reductions - Describe qualitatively how this project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This project is contained within the existing Union City Corpyard. The installation and operation of any EVSE will be quieter than the CNG compressors or the overhead high-voltage electricity lines. The CNG vehicles operate through Union City's residential neighborhoods and are perceived to be loud and polluting; this project enables the deployment of eight (8) battery-electric bues (BEB/ZEB) that travel on average of 40,000 Annual VMT and eight (8) battery-electric vans that travel up to 20,000 Annual VMT reducing local tailpipe emissions. Union City Transit expects to change the perception of public transit in the community and appeal to choice riders through the introduction of ZEBs and infrastructure.

Co-Benefits - Describe benefits selected above and other benefits not listed.
Allows operations and maintenance staff to become familiar with electric vehicles and the equipment required to support them before additional vehicles become introduced to the fleet. Switching from CNG buses to ZEBs will reduce climate impacts improving public health in the long term.. Further benefits include reduced operating costs through longer preventive maintenance (PM) cycles, a reduction in fluid exchanges and disposal, a reduction in brake pad replacements, and a reduction in costs associated with troubleshooting and repairing engine and transmission issues. There is also the potential to reduce the number of road calls, which will increase the number of miles between those calls (a metric several oversight agencies monitor).
