3.1.11 Study all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations, and statutes affecting the Project, including but not limited to, zoning, environmental, building, fire and safety codes and coverage, and lien laws, and comply with them in performance of its services. DB shall ensure that the Project design conforms to all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders or other legal requirements, (collectively “Governmental Requirements”) existing as of the date of this Agreement. However, the City recognizes that Governmental Requirements and their interpretations by governmental officials (“Code Authority”) are often subject to change at any time, even after issuance of a notice to construct. If, after the date of this Agreement, modifications to the Project are required because of a change in Governmental Requirements or their interpretation by a Code Authority which had not previously been given, or which if given, was different than a prior interpretation of a Code Authority, DB shall make the required modifications to comply with the same. However, in the event of such an occurrence the compensation to DB and the associated design and pre- construction schedule may be subject to an adjustment. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall relieve DB of its obligations to modify the Project at its own expense where DB has failed to design the Project in compliance with Governmental Requirements applicable as of the date of this Agreement.

scope change or is a minor change, which
does not impact GMP or Contract Time, City
shall notify DB within ten (10) calendar days.
3.1.18.1.1.4 DB shall not be entitled to an
adjustment in the GMP or Contract Time if DB
knew or should have known of the existence

and agreed to GMP or Contract Time; or the
existence of such condition could reasonably
have been discovered as a result of DB’s
obligations regarding geotechnical and
geological investigations and reports as
described in the RFP.
3.1.19 DB shall perform in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations.

Section 16: Project Completion
16.1 Substantial Completion shall be that stage in the progress of the construction when all Work on the Project is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Construction Documents so that City can fully utilize entire Project; Substantial Completion shall further mean that all goods, services and systems to be provided under the terms and conditions of the Construction Documents are in place and have been initially tested, and are operationally functional, subject only to final testing, balancing and adjustments and normal Final Completion punch list Work.
16.2 Final Completion shall be deemed to occur on the last of the following events: (1) recordation of a Notice of Completion for the Project; (2) acceptance of the Project by the City; (3) issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy for the Project; (4) submission of all documents required to be supplied by DB to City under this Agreement, including but not limited to As -Built Drawings, warranties, and operating manuals; (5) and delivery to City of a Certificate of Completion duly verified by DB.
16.3 DB shall provide City with a Certificate of Completion, certifying to City under penalty of perjury that the Project has been completed in accordance with the Construction Documents, all applicable building codes and regulations, all permits, licenses, and certificates of inspection, use and occupancy, and ordinances relating to the Project.
16.4 DB shall provide one set of City final record drawing documents at the end of construction and one copy in electronic format (“As-Built Drawings”).

17.3 The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order as set forth in Section 14.
17.4 Further, an extension in Contract Time will not be granted unless DB can demonstrate through an analysis of the Project Schedule that the increases in the time to perform or complete the Project, or specified part of the Project, beyond the corresponding Contract Time arise from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of DB, its Design Consultants, and subcontractors or suppliers, and that such causes in fact lead to performance 06/25/2024 C7 Page 16 of 223
Design / Build Services Agreement
City-wide EVSE Project (CIP No. 8902)
00105692 14870-5988-4230, v. 2
or completion of the Project, or specified part in question, beyond the corresponding Contract Time, despite DB’s reasonable and diligent actions to guard against those effects.
17.5 DB carries the burden of proving an entitlement to an increase in the Contract Time.
Delays attributable to and within the control of Design Support Consultants, or subcontractor or supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of DB. No time extension will be allowed for such delays. An increase in Contract Time does not necessarily mean that DB is due an increase in the GMP.
Section 18: Late Completion
18.1 City and DB recognize that time is of the essence in this Agreement and that City will suffer financial loss if the Project is not completed within the Contract Time, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with Section 17.3. They also recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by City if the Project is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, City and DB agree that DB shall pay as liquidated damages (but not as a penalty) for each calendar day of delay beyond the time specified for Substantial Completion of the Project, the following amounts which DB expressly agrees are “not unreasonable under the circumstances” as defined in California Civil Code §1671(b): $4000 for each calendar day. Liquidated Damages shall not be assessed after the date on which Substantial Completion is achieved pursuant to Section 16.
Section 19: Right to Modify Work
19.1 Without invalidating the Agreement and without notice to any surety, City may at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Project; these will be authorized by a written Change Order prepared and issued by City. Upon receipt of any such document, DB shall promptly proceed with the Work involved which will be performed under the applicable conditions of the Construction Documents (except as otherwise specifically provided).
19.2 When City desires a change in the Project, City may issue a Request for Proposal to DB.
DB will be required to respond within the time indicated by City.
Section 20: INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
Section 21: Work By Others
21.1 City may perform other work related to the Project at the Project Site by City’s own forces, or let other direct contracts (“City Contractor”). The City will give DB reasonable notice of its intent to do such other work. DB’s work shall take priority over the City Contractors; but the Parties will use their best efforts to coordinate their work so as to minimize the disruption to each other’s work and to allow City Contractor to proceed expeditiously.
21.2 If the proper execution or results of any part of DB’s work depends upon the work by the City or City Contractor, DB shall promptly inspect and report to City in writing any apparent delays, defects, or deficiencies in the City’s work that render it unavailable or unsuitable for such proper execution and results. DB’s failure to promptly report such delays, defects, or deficiencies in writing before commencement of the affected work, will constitute an acceptance of the City’s work as fit and timely for integration with DB’s Work except for latent defects and deficiencies in the City’s work for which DB will not be responsible.

21.3 If DB or any person or entity working for DB causes damage to the City’s or City Contractor’s work, property, or person, or if any claim arising out of DB’s performance of the Project by any other contractor is made against DB, by City, any other cont ractor, or any other person, DB shall promptly repair and/or resolve said claim at no cost to City.
Section 22: Warranties and Guarantees
22.1 DB warrants and guarantees to City that materials and equipment incorporated into the Project will be new unless otherwise specified and that all work will be in strict accordance with the Construction Documents and will not be defective. Prompt notice of defects known to City shall be given to DB. All Defective Work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected, or accepted as reasonably directed by City, provided DB shall not be entitled to an extension in Contract Time or increase in GMP because of any delay or increase in cost attributable to the rejection, correction or acceptance of said work. Defective work may be rejected even if approved by prior inspection.
22.2 The warranty period shall commence when the Certificate of Final Completion is issued or at beneficial use by City prior to Final Completion, whichever occurs earlier, and extend one (1) year after that date or whatever longer period may be prescribed by laws or regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee or specific provision of the Construction Documents.
22.3 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

22.5 Correction of Defective Work - If within the designated warranty period, or such longer period as may be required by laws or regulations, the Project or any part of the Project, is discovered to contain defective work, DB shall promptly, without any reimbursement or adjustment in the GMP, and in accordance with City’s written instructions, either correct that defective work, or if it has been rejected by City remove it from the Project and replace it with work which is not defective. If circumstances warrant it, including but not limited to, in an emergency, City or DB may have the defective work corrected or the defective work removed and replaced. In that event, DB shall not be allowed to recover any associated costs, and DB shall reimburse City for all direct, and indirect costs of City, and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the GMP, to withhold a setoff against amount recommended for payment, or make a claim on DB’s bond if DB has been paid in full.
22.6 With respect to all warranties, express or implied, from subcontractors, manufacturers, or suppliers for Work performed and materials furnished under this Agreement, the DB shall:
22.6.1 Obtain all warranties that would be given in normal commercial practice and as required by the City;
22.6.2 Require all warranties to be executed, in writing, for the benefit of City;

Before taking possession of or using any Work, City shall furnish DB a list of items of Work remaining to be performed or corrected on those portions of the Work that City intends to take possession of or use. However, failure of City to list any item of Work shall not relieve DB of responsibility for complying with the terms of this Agreement. City’s possession or use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any Work under this Agreement, nor relieve the DB of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
23.2 While City has such possession or use, DB shall be relieved of the responsibility for the loss of or damage to the Work resulting from City’s possession or use. If prior possession or use by City delays the progress of the Work or causes additional expense to DB, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the GMP or the Contract Time, and the Agreement shall be modified in writing accordingly.
Section 24: Personal Services and Non-Assignability
24.1 This is a personal services Agreement and, therefore, DB shall not alter the key employees or Design Consultants nor assign or transfer, voluntarily or involuntarily, any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement except upon the prior written consent of City. Any such change, assignment or transfer without the prior written consent of the City shall be deemed null and void and constitute a material breach under this Agreement.
Section 25: Indemnification
25.1 To the fullest extent permitted by the law, DB shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless City, their elected and appointed officers, agents, employees, consultants, (collectively herein the “Indemnitees”), from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, injuries, liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) of any kind whatsoever, arising in whole or in part out of or resulting from DB’s performance of this Agreement, DB’s breach of this Agreement, or the alleged negligent acts or omissions of DB, its architects, engineers, other professionals and consultants, Contractors, suppliers or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable. The obligations of the DB under this paragraph for errors or omissions, including those of the design professional subcontractors, which includes the Design Subcontractors, consultants, agents and employees thereof (“Design Subcontractors”), which arise from (1) the preparation or approval of maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, designs or specifications, or (2) the giving of or the failure to give directions or instructions shall not be limited to the amount of coverage provided for in the professional liability insurance policy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to the City of Vista’s Request for Proposal to install electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) infrastructure at 12 locations city-wide, PAR Western Line Contractors, LLC (PAR West) has strategically assembled a powerful design-build team of entirely in-house resources. This collaborative effort aims to address the fast-paced and comprehensive requirements of the City of Vista’s program. PAR West has partnered with their industry-leading company Quanta Utility Engineering Services (QUES) to ensure exceptional engineering and safe, high-quality construction for this ambitious program.
Understanding of Project
The City of Vista requires EVSE infrastructure at 12 of its locations throughout the city. They have determined the number of chargers they wish to install across these locations, resulting in a total of 90 chargers varying between L2 and L3. The City of Vista has provided 30% site designs that indicate how many chargers are to be installed and in what areas of the parking lots. The City of Vista wishes to select a design-build contractor at the end of May 2024 to quickly progress the design towards 90% in early November of 2024 and to negotiate an agreement of GMP ahead of construction mobilization.
The City of Vista requires the design-build entity be responsible for furnishing all labor, material, equipment (excluding EV chargers), services, and temporary construction facilities for the Project including but not limited to design, construction, start-up and commissioning, the provision of warranties and performance guarantees, the obtaining of permits, compliance of legal requirements, safety management, and quality management within the time frame outlined in the Design-Build contract.

PAR West’s core objective is to build a cohesive, integrated team for our customers that meets their unique needs. We provide program management, utility coordination, permitting, engineering design, procurement, and project/risk management under the same roof as construction.
Proposed Team
To provide the City of Vista with an experienced, local, and highly talented team to perform the work in the timeframe requested, PAR West has assembled its highly experienced team of key personnel and partnered with our sister Quanta Company, QUES. QUES brings exceptional EV charging design experience to the table, with local resources and offices across California to support this initiative.

Our ability to bring constructability solutions from the onset of program and project development has set us apart as a key partner to our clients in providing timely and successful EV Charging solutions.
PAR West is currently involved in the rapid deployment of Level 3 DCFC public charging stations across Southern California as well as a large-scale truck charging depot in the Port of Long Beach, both for confidential clients. Over the past three construction seasons, PAR West has completed over 20 projects with complicated AHJ and utility challenges. PWLC has performed over 50,000 hours of EV charging work in California, with a spotless safety record.
Leveraging our experience and in collaboration with QUES and the City of Vista – PAR West will strategically sequence construction activities around site host constraints, with a focused goal of reducing time on site. To minimize delays, PAR West typically will not mobilize until EVSE and long lead equipment delivery dates are firm, permits are secured, and the utility has committed to an energization plan.
It has been our experience that optimizing time on site and reducing mobilizations increases quality, safety, and productivity leading to highly successful projects that remain within budget, on schedule, and are completed without claims or dispute.
Please reference PAR West – Project Experience for a list of current and completed comparable projects.

PROGRAM UNDERSTANDING AND GENERAL APPROACH
Program Management
PAR West has experience in managing large and complex EV infrastructure installation programs. Our experience with fast-paced large portfolios of EV sites has resulted in a highly developed process starting from planning/site selection through final site commissioning. The Program Manager, with support from the Project Manager, will serve as a single point of contact for the City of Vista. They will work closely with the City of Vista to strategize site priority and create a program schedule, cadence, and channels of communication that suit the needs of the program. The Project Manager will manage projects on an individual basis and report daily progress to the Program Manager. The Program Manager, with support from the Project Manager and their support team, has the capacity to manage these projects simultaneously.
Project Management
Once the program has been established with City of Vista, the Program Manager will work with the Project Manager to establish cadence, schedule, and structure for each associated project. The Program Manager will compile the regional project schedules into a master schedule for the City of Vista. Once the milestones and scheduled tasks have been agreed upon, the Project Manager will detail a work breakdown structure to identify the required tasks for project completion. The schedule and work breakdown structure will be updated throughout the project as needed.
The Project Manager will begin the project with a kickoff meeting of all essential team members and stakeholders. At this time, the Project Manager will present the project schedule, communication plan, and scope to bring the team into alignment. The Project Manager will also review and gather input for project risks, creating a risk register and change management plan to be followed throughout the project. A running log of action items and meeting minutes will begin and be maintained throughout the project to document all discussions and status updates. The distribution of these meeting minutes will be coordinated through the Program Manager.
Project management activities will commence with front-end services by our contractors performing an initial site visit. Their input will be brought into the preliminary design phase and will influence the site layout design to be discussed and approved with the City of Vista. In tandem, local AHJ requirement research and coordination with the utility will begin. Detailed design will commence upon agreement of the conceptual site layout by all stakeholders. The Project Manager will work with QUES’s engineering team to ensure that the station Behind-The-Meter (BTM) design is coordinated with the utility’s To-The-Meter (TTM) design. Periodic meetings will ensure that the various parties are in alignment.
The Project Manager will facilitate design engineering reviews.
The Project Manager will submit drawings, facilitate questions, and design changes between the City of Vista and QUES
Engineers. The Project Manager will support this process until the City of Vista design approval is obtained.
Upon completion of the final design with a Professional Engineer’s stamp, PAR West will release the engineer to submit drawings and applications for building, electrical, and other necessary permits as determined in initial 06/25/2024 C7 Page 40 of 223

AHJ outreach. The PAR West Project Manager will provide City of Vista with updates on the progress of permit acquisition.
In parallel with design and permitting, PAR West will
release the utility coordination team to apply for utility service and facilitate the final utility design (TTM design).
The Project Manager will ensure that the utility is provided with the necessary documents needed to complete their
design. The Project Manager will work with the utility and City of Vista to define and execute any necessary
easements.
Upon successful completion of front-end services, a “construction-ready package” will be compiled to initiate construction activities. This will include an Issue for Construction drawing set that includes any revisions required by AHJ or utility, an issued building permit, a final utility (TTM) design, and all necessary easements.
The Project Manager will schedule a construction kick-off meeting on-site with City of Vista, the construction team, and any other parties deemed necessary. Site safety will be reviewed along with a strategy/sequence to minimize facility operation disruptions during construction. The Project Manager will then provide periodic updates to the Program Manager as the construction activities progress.
Upon completion of construction activities and successful energization, the Project Manager will ensure final records and closeout information are transmitted to the City of Vista.
Equipment Procurement
The equipment procurement process will be planned to optimize the project schedule. At the project kickoff, our team will identify all long lead procurements for the project to create a release schedule required to meet the project timeline.
Upon identification and review of the long lead items, PAR West will seek approval from the City of Vista to order long lead items such as switchgear, chargers, and any additional major electrical equipment. Detailed design for the balance of the site will continue.
For all other materials and equipment that are owner supplied or not included under the PAR West scope, the following process takes place:
• Request submittal documents for all equipment
• Ensure alignment with the scope through engineering and construction evaluation • Provide written approval of provided equipment from engineering • Coordinate with the vendor to ensure on-time delivery for the project schedule
Engineering Design/Permitting
Each project’s design will begin with a kickoff meeting to review proposed concepts and define the design requirements of each submittal to the City of Vista. Upon completion of the detailed design, PAR West will request approval from the City of Vista to submit drawings to the AHJ for permitting. At the same time, QUES Engineers’ team will leverage their California experience and gather knowledge on each step of the permitting process, ensuring we submit to the AHJ’s expectations the first time. This eliminates idle time between steps to obtain a permit and allows our team to prepare for construction as 06/25/2024 C7 Page 41 of 223

quickly as possible. QUES Engineers will perform design engineering and be well suited to communicate directly with the AHJ, responding and revising directly per the feedback received. It is PAR West’s intent to guide these discussions and identify the most ideal path forward for our clients.
A final issue for the construction package will incorporate any AHJ and/or utility-requested changes. This drawing package will be provided to our construction contractor for use during installation. The project management and engineering teams will remain available during construction activities to respond to RFIs and provide additional support as needed.
Installation
When construction activity is ready to start, our construction contractors will mark out and call in 811 Underground Service Alerts (USA) to locate existing utilities. In addition, we will have ground penetrating radar (GPR) services completed within the excavation site to ensure that all existing utilities have been located. Once underground locates are complete, civil construction work will commence.
Trenching routes for underground conduit and concrete pads for equipment will be excavated and installed as shown on the plans. PAR West’s crews will then install and label all wires and cables. PAR West will coordinate with the City of Vista for the delivery of any owner-supplied equipment and will assist with the installation of the equipment.
The local utility will be responsible for the work necessary to bring power from the point of connection (POC) through the transformer and connect to the new switchgear.
PAR West will also assist the City of Vista with the testing and commissioning of the equipment.

Internal and External RFIs
If any questions or issues arise during construction, our team will collaborate to identify the issue, devise an acceptable solution, and present the solution to City of Vista and City of Vista’s engineer for approval and/or feedback. Additionally, our team will provide a recommended solution in response to RFI submissions. We strive to develop solutions that are expedient, cost-effective, and safe, without sacrificing quality.
Progress Meetings
Stakeholders will be in regular communication with one another throughout every phase of the project. Project updates will take the form of progress meetings, which include:
• Weekly construction meetings to discuss progress, open items, and contract items. • Internal meetings between key project stakeholders to facilitate discussions and insightful decision- making.
• Material review and status meetings as necessary.
As-Builts
Construction redlines will be incorporated into final Record Revision sets upon project completion. PAR will submit a complete package including the construction redlines, approval for the change, accompanying RFI/submittal, and any other pertinent information associated with the change. Record revisions resulting from redlines captured by the OEM will also be incorporated.
Contract Completion/Closeout Documentation
Work on a project does not end once construction is finished; there are several additional steps to complete prior to job close-out:
• The team will conduct a final walk-through. Team members will review the overall project and note areas of quality concerns, lessons, successes, and areas for improvement. • Lessons learned from each phase of the project will be gathered and presented at the end of the project. • Construction redlines will be incorporated into as-built drawings after completion. • All required paperwork and documentation will be completed and submitted to formally close out the project.
QMP Implementation
The project-specific Quality Management Plan (QMP) will be developed in line with Quanta Services’ high quality standards. The plan incorporates quality standards for electrical equipment, materials, and services being delivered, as well as conformance with contract and specification requirements. The project’s quality objectives will be reviewed by key personnel and project team members who have defined roles and responsibilities. QC processes for key activities are created and executed to manage and document the quality actions required for procurement, material management, and inspection/tests of installed materials and equipment. These processes include the following tasks:
• Record-keeping requirements are established and include scheduled transmittals of quality records, reports, tests, and certifications.
• Testing and inspection plans for equipment and system performance are created. These plans incorporate the specific technical requirements for QA/QC verifications.

PARWLC.COM
The QMP’s Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) responsibilities are comprised of a comprehensive system of procedures, checks, inspections, tests, audits, and – when necessary – corrective actions to ensure that work is performed and accepted in accordance with all applicable requirements. Throughout each stage of the project, the QMP will serve as a guide for PAR’s QMS program objectives. Within these objectives, PAR will incorporate key quality components of the Definable Features of Work (DFOWs). A feedback loop of audits and lessons learned will be used to improve current best practices and the project as a whole. Other key elements of the QMP will include vendor quality control, procurement process quality, material management, and field quality control activities. PAR will implement this plan to ensure that PAR itself, plus all selected vendors and subcontractors, implement the QMP policies and procedures that pertain to their scope.
Inspection checklists are prepared to help crews understand and document QMP requirements. These checklists are incorporated in the final QMP and will be provided to City of Vista at the end of the project as close-out documentation. PAR will build task-specific checklists and report forms for DFOWs within the project.
Inspections, Tests, and Corrective Action Procedures
A key element of successful QMP execution is the documentation and organization of all inspections and assessments. Documentation will be completed by the Construction Manager with support from the Project Manager, and all records will be maintained in accordance with the QMP.
Quality control reports will be prepared by the quality inspector throughout the project life cycle:
• Tests performed/results: A list of materials, work tested, or inspection results. • General information: A description of weather conditions, instructions, conversations with crew members, and a description of worker efficiency.
• Non-conformance items: A list of identified nonconformance items, corrective actions, and a date of planned corrective work completion.
• Remarks: A discussion of pertinent information including directions received, QC problem areas, deviations from the QMP, construction deficiencies, QC meetings, corrective directions given, and corrective actions taken.
Testing plan and log records:
• A record log of all tests performed for the project will be maintained. • Mandatory daily records will be updated as tests are performed; the quality inspector is responsible for updating the testing record log, which will be monitored by the field engineering manager. • A record log of Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) performed for the project will be maintained and updated.
• Copies of all punch lists will be maintained within project files. • Construction record information will be collected to indicate any changes or deviations from the intended design.
Non-Conformance Reports
The Construction Manager will review the work throughout progression and will submit a punch list containing tasks that need to be completed to the Project Manager.
A non-conformance is a deficiency in characteristics, documentation, or procedures that render the work unacceptable to the client’s requirements. A Non-Conformance Report (NCR) will be issued when any portion of 06/25/2024 C7 Page 48 of 223

the work is in non-conformance, or if a deficiency trend occurs in subsequent similar work. NCRs are not used to document incomplete work items such as those on punch lists.
The NCR is given to the Project Manager and Program Leadership for corrective action. NCRs are numbered sequentially, and a log is maintained to monitor all items that are non-conforming. Monitored items include:
• Crew or subcontractor identification
• Specific location within the substation where the NCR was observed • Date when nonconformance was discovered
• Individual who initiated the finding
• Planned completion date of “corrective actions”
• Witness of proper “corrective action”
• Non-conforming items and contract reference
The Construction Manager will review the NCR log weekly to determine the status of pending corrective actions.
Independent qualified testing companies will be retained for soil testing, concrete testing, and nondestructive testing as required by clients’ specifications, standards, and drawings.
Quality Management Throughout the Project Team
The responsibility for quality begins with the individual who performs the work and ends with those who manage the resources involved. Employees are trained in the purpose, scope, and implementation of established processes as well as the successful execution of these processes. Service providers clearly understand their roles and responsibilities, and these individuals certify that all their efforts are consistent with the required quality standards. Our QC approach is a guide for projects to meet the highest quality standards and minimize costs from material resource losses and work interruptions.
Our team is committed to five organizational objectives that affect quality:

Risk Management
Risk management for large EV infrastructure projects requires a proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks. Upon award of the project, PAR will create a risk register that carefully outlines potential risks and planned mitigation strategies. Risk will be evaluated in the procurement and installation process. The Project Manager will exercise vigilance throughout the project’s life cycle and thoroughly communicate any potential risks to City of Vista.
Common risks for EV projects of this size and complexity are variables in the procurement, utility, and permitting process. On the utility side, these risks can be long lead times on equipment that can negatively impact the schedule. For permitting, long review periods and challenging AHJ requirements can lengthen the permitting process and cause revisions to increase the budget and delay the schedule.
For this project, City of Vista states they have submitted applications with the utility and that permitting is ongoing.
PAR has extensive experience with Southern California Edison and performing work in Orange County, CA. PAR understands the unique requirements in this jurisdiction and will work closely with City of Vista to forecast potential risks and schedule challenges at the onset of construction.
Change Management
Even with careful planning, change is inevitable on any project. Effective change management begins with a thorough analysis of risk and implementing processes to handle and navigate changes as they arise.
Complimenting the risk register and risk analysis performed, PAR will also assess possible changes, their level of impact, and potential change mitigation. This knowledge of risk and change will be used when defining scope, schedule, and budget. When changes arise, the Project Manager will clearly communicate changes in a timely manner and collaborate with City of Vista for the most suitable change management strategy.

PAR Western Line Contractors, LLC (PAR West), in partnership with our sister company Quanta Utility Engineering Services (QUES), has assembled a talented design-build team to meet the City of Vista’s goals of installing EVSE infrastructure at their 12 city-wide locations. PAR West is first and foremost a construction company. We stand apart from our competition as a true turnkey solution provider by bringing permitting, engineering, procurement, and project/risk management under the same roof as construction.
PAR West has significant experience deploying large, complex EV charging programs in California. Our experience extends statewide, successfully providing front-end, engineering, and construction services. We have worked with some of the leading providers of DCFCs and various fleet operators and understand the complexities of EV design. Our experience has provided lessons learned that have shaped the processes and procedures we use to approach highly successful EV charging programs. Through our experience, we have built relationships with utilities throughout the state and learned the unique regional requirements of building EV chargers in various cities and counties. Our ability to bring constructability solutions from the onset of program and project development has set us apart as a key partner to our clients in providing timely and successful EV Charging solutions.
PAR West is currently involved in the rapid deployment of Level 3 DCFC public charging stations across Southern California as well as a large-scale truck charging depot in the Port of Long Beach, both for confidential clients. Over the past three construction seasons, PAR West has completed over 20 projects with complicated AHJ and utility challenges. PWLC has performed over 50,000 hours of EV charging work in California, with a spotless safety record.
Leveraging our experience and in collaboration with QUES and the City of Vista – PAR West will strategically sequence construction activities around site host constraints, with a focused goal of reducing time on site. To minimize delays, PAR West typically will not mobilize until EVSE and long lead equipment delivery dates are firm, permits are secured, and the utility has committed to an energization plan.
It has been our experience that optimizing time on site and reducing mobilizations increases quality, safety, and productivity leading to highly successful projects that remain within budget, on schedule, and are completed without claims or dispute.
Program Understanding and General Approach
Program Management
PAR West has experience in managing large and complex EV infrastructure installation programs. Our experience with fast-paced large portfolios of EV sites has resulted in a highly developed process starting from planning/site selection through final site commissioning. The Program Manager, with support from the Project Manager, will serve as a single point of contact for the City of Vista. They will work closely with the City of Vista to strategize site priority and create a program schedule, cadence, and channels of communication that suit the needs of the program. The Project Manager will manage projects on an individual basis and report daily progress to the Program Manager. The Program Manager, with support from the Project Manager and their support team can manage these projects simultaneously.
Project Management
Once the program has been established with City of Vista, the Program Manager will work with the Project Manager to establish cadence, schedule, and structure for each associated project. The Program Manager will compile the regional project schedules into a master schedule for the City of Vista. Once the milestones and scheduled tasks have been agreed upon, the Project Manager will detail a work breakdown structure to identify the required tasks for project completion. The schedule and work breakdown structure will be updated throughout the project as needed.

The Project Manager will begin the project with a kickoff meeting of all essential team members and stakeholders. At this time, the Project Manager will present the project schedule, communication plan, and scope to bring the team into alignment. The Project Manager will also review and gather input for project risks, creating a risk register and change management plan to be followed throughout the project. A running log of action items and meeting minutes will begin and be maintained throughout the project to document all discussions and status updates. The distribution of these meeting minutes will be coordinated through the Program Manager.
Project management activities will commence with front-end services by our contractors performing an initial site visit. Their input will be brought into the preliminary design phase and will influence the site layout design to be discussed and approved with the City of Vista. In tandem, local AHJ requirement research and coordination with the utility will begin. Detailed design will commence upon agreement of the conceptual site layout by all stakeholders. The Project Manager will work with QUES’s engineering team to ensure that the station Behind-The-Meter (BTM) design is coordinated with the utility’s To-The-Meter (TTM) design. Periodic meetings will ensure that the various parties are in alignment.
The Project Manager will facilitate design engineering reviews. The Project Manager will submit drawings, facilitate questions, and design changes between the City of Vista and QUES Engineers. The Project Manager will support this process until the City of Vista design approval is obtained.
Upon completion of the final design with a Professional Engineer stamp, PAR West will release the engineer to submit drawings and applications for building, electrical, and other necessary permits as determined in initial AHJ outreach. The PAR West Project Manager will provide City of Vista with updates on the progress of permit acquisition.
In parallel with design and permitting, PAR West will release the utility coordination team to apply for utility service and facilitate the final utility design (TTM design). The Project Manager will ensure that the utility is provided with the necessary documents needed to complete their design. The Project Manager will work with the utility and City of Vista to define and execute any necessary easements.
Upon successful completion of front-end services, a “construction-ready package” will be compiled to initiate construction activities. This will include an Issue for Construction drawing set that includes any revisions required by AHJ or utility, an issued building permit, a final utility (TTM) design, and all necessary easements.
The Project Manager will schedule a construction kick-off meeting on-site with City of Vista, the construction team, and any other parties deemed necessary. Site safety will be reviewed along with a strategy/sequence to minimize facility operation disruptions during construction. The Project Manager will then provide periodic updates to the Program Manager as the construction activities progress.
Upon completion of construction activities and successful energization, the Project Manager will ensure final records and closeout information are transmitted to the City of Vista.
Equipment Procurement
The equipment procurement process will be planned to optimize the project schedule. At the project kickoff, our team will identify all long lead procurements for the project to create a release schedule required to meet the project timeline.
Upon identification and review of the long lead items, PAR West will seek approval from the City of Vista to order long lead items such as switchgear, chargers, and any additional major electrical equipment. Detailed design for the balance of the site will continue.

For all other materials and equipment that are owner supplied or not included under the PAR West scope, the following process takes place:
• Request submittal documents for all equipment
• Ensure alignment with the scope through engineering and construction evaluation • Provide written approval of provided equipment from engineering • Coordinate with the vendor to ensure on-time delivery for the project schedule
Engineering Design/Permitting
Each project’s design will begin with a kickoff meeting to review proposed concepts and define the design requirements of each submittal to the City of Vista. Upon completion of the detailed design, PAR West will request approval from the City of Vista to submit drawings to the AHJ for permitting. At the same time, QUES Engineers’ team will leverage their California experience and gather knowledge on each step of the permitting process, ensuring we submit to the AHJ’s expectations the first time. This eliminates idle time between steps to obtain a permit and allows our team to prepare for construction as quickly as possible. QUES Engineers will perform design engineering and be well suited to communicate directly with AHJ, responding and revising directly per the feedback received. It is PAR West’s intent to guide these discussions and identify the most ideal path forward for our clients.
A final issue for the construction package will incorporate any AHJ and/or utility-requested changes. This drawing package will be provided to our construction contractor for use during installation. The project management and engineering teams will remain available during construction activities to respond to RFIs and provide additional support as needed.
Installation
When construction activity is ready to start, our construction contractors will mark out and call in 811 Underground Service Alerts (USA) to locate existing utilities. In addition, we will have ground penetrating radar (GPR) services completed within the excavation site to ensure that all existing utilities have been located. Once underground locates are complete, civil construction work will commence. 06/25/2024 C7 Page 65 of 223

Trenching routes for underground conduit and concrete pads for equipment will be excavated and installed as shown on the plans. PAR West’s crews will then install and label all wires and cables. PAR West will coordinate with the City of Vista for the delivery of any owner-supplied equipment and will assist in the installation of the equipment.
The local utility will be responsible for the work necessary to bring power from the point of connection (POC) through the transformer and connect to the new switchgear.
PAR West will also assist the City of Vista with the testing and commissioning of the equipment.
The following sequence of work (not inclusive) will be performed by the PAR West team:
• Procurement of long lead materials and equipment
• Permits and pre-construction meetings
• USA and GPR of existing utilities
• Mobilization (upon receipt of materials and equipment) • Temporary fencing installation
• Sawcut asphalt for trench
• Excavate from switchgear to power cabinets
• Excavate from power cabinets to charging dispensers
• Install conduit from switchgear to the power cabinets to the dispensers • Form and pour concrete equipment pads
• Install equipment
• Pull wire and terminate
• Finish pave and stripe EV stalls and ADA pathway (if required) • Coordinate all inspections and deliveries
• Assist with testing and commissioning
• Closeout documents
PAR West will provide all required closeout documents specified by the City of Vista. The closeout package for this program will include copies of the redlines of the plans and specifications, Code Compliance Certification for the project, punch-list inspection forms, and other contract closeout documents as deemed necessary.
Communication and Correspondence Plan
The Program Manager, with support from the Project Manager, will be responsible for ensuring internal and external stakeholder communications. The Program Manager will coordinate with the City of Vista project team for the best time and occurrence for regular project reporting meetings. The Project Manager will also conduct regular meetings for the project after kick-off with the project team consisting of engineering, permitting, utility coordination, and construction. A typical meeting walks through each discipline to discuss constraints to their schedule.
PAR West has identified that regularly having these key members of the team on calls provides input from the different disciplines to create a holistic view of issues that might arise during each phase. The team will discuss issues, solutions, and if needed, create action plans to execute for resolution. Moreover, these solutions will be distributed across the program to ensure solidarity.

5. Schedule
Provide a Design and Construction Schedule considering all Project deliverables and major milestones that may impact the construction schedule. The schedule should also reflect major design and construction activities. Describe DB’s capacity to perform the work within the time limitations, considering DB’s current and planned workload and DBT’s workforce.
Please refer to the attached schedule. Vista EV – Preliminary Schedule.
6. Construction and Implementation
How do you propose to manage the construction of this Project? Provide the experience and qualifications of the staff proposed to oversee and manage the construction.
We believe this program offers the potential to be incredibly efficient with labor and equipment resources, which will lead to the lowest cost and highest quality for the City of Vista.
Upon award from the City of Vista, PAR West will work with the City and our engineering team to discuss a strategy for prioritizing sites and begin the effort of taking the preliminary 30% engineering designs provided by the City of Vista and applying constructability input. We will consider sites by location and by complexity.
For instance, sites that have reduced complexity for design, permitting, and utility connection will be pushed ahead. For projects with added complexity and challenging permitting and/or utility connections, our engineers will begin design with the knowledge of their slower timeline for completion.
The goal of this strategy is to ensure that our field teams always have a site ready for construction to begin.
With a pool of 12 projects providing a solid backlog and continuous workflow, we can keep crews together, minimize learning curves, increase efficiency, and improve quality and safety.
Managing multiple sites simultaneously requires consistency of workforce and field leadership. We intend to keep the same core crew for the entire duration of the City of Vista program. When we have exciting projects out in front of the crews such as this, our employee retention is high, skills improve, and our customers benefit from reduced costs and adherence to schedule. Resource management is more efficient with high- performing teams and project backlog. This program offers PAR West the perfect amount of design and construction to develop outstanding teams and for the City of Vista to reap the benefits.
Construction will flow to the City of Vista through the Program Manager and Construction Project Manager from the field. With our professional service resources being under the same roof as our construction team, this communication is done seamlessly and daily. The key personnel during construction will be Victoria Sorrentino, our Program Manager, Nathan Ono, our Construction Project Manager, John McClanahan our Electrical Construction Manager and Chris Ramsey, our site Superintendent. This tight-knit team has extensive experience working together on EV Charging projects across California. Please see the Project Team section as well as the attached project resumes for detailed years of experience and qualifications.
Based on your past experience constructing similar Projects such as this, identify potentially significant issues that could arise during construction of this Project and how you plan to mitigate them. 06/25/2024 C7 Page 67 of 223

PAR West has extensive experience managing a portfolio of EV Charging sites simultaneously. These opportunities have provided us experience with many different utilities, municipalities, jurisdictions, and design preferences for EV Charging installations. This knowledge has helped develop design best practices. We are looking out for and incorporating the following items into our initial conversations when beginning EV Charging design for our customers at each site:
• A thorough understanding of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)’s unique requirements for the area including but not limited to the ability to place setbacks, restrictions on changes to existing parking spaces, ADA compliance, and expectations of the permitting process. The more understanding we have of the AHJ’s expectations at the onset of the project, the smoother we can make the permitting process.
• Proximity and feasibility of the Utility Point of Interconnection (POC). Where it is possible to reduce the length and complexity of the POC, this significantly reduces cost. In addition, performing this work previously has allowed us working relationships and experience with Utilities across the United States that provide insight into best practices and expectations for utility coordination very early on in the project’s life cycle.
• Grading requirements for the site, especially as they pertain to ADA compliance and Path of Travel requirements.
• Minimizing conflict with setbacks, easements, and underground utilities where possible. • Avoiding areas that may require additional infrastructure such as retaining walls, substantial trenching through concrete and asphalt, etc.
• Flow of traffic through the site.
• Ease of customer access and use.
In addition, these experiences have provided us with lessons learned that have helped our team better assess and mitigate risks. Ways we analyze, address, and incorporate risk management into design and construction are below:
• Managing a portfolio of projects in various stages of design and construction requires clear communication and coordination. Strategizing construction, site prioritization, and our client’s goals at the onset of the program can help make a much more efficient program that addresses potential bottlenecks, reduces contractor mob/de-mobs, and allows for a more successful program. • Early research is pivotal in streamlining design and coordinating an ambitious schedule. This includes a thorough understanding of utility processes, requirements, and lead times. In addition to utility knowledge, a comprehensive understanding of AHJ and municipality requirements is also essential in the upfront process. Understanding what type of permits will be required and what design codes and considerations must be adhered to will reduce excessive revisions and reduce the permitting timeline. • Utilizing our local construction resources to perform site visits on projects and have construction experience and expertise provided to the team in the preliminary design phase reduces revisions, unneeded complexity, and late-phase design changes. This upfront experience incorporated into our designs is what sets PAR West apart and allows us to strive for reduced construction complexity from the onset.
• Creating, maintaining, and utilizing our relationships with utilities is pivotal. These relationships are indispensable, allowing us to better understand utility expectations and requirements, coordinate project designs, synchronize construction scheduling, and strategize electrical equipment deliveries more easily.
• Performing onsite meetings with the utility to discuss construction activities and discuss any potential issues they see helps coordinate our designs and minimize miscommunications. • Coordinate utility upgrades first and get in the utility’s construction queue as quickly as possible. 06/25/2024 C7 Page 68 of 223

8. Additional Information
This section shall contain all the other pertinent information that is required to be submitted with the proposal in the following order:
Description of insurance coverage for prime respondent and co-venture partner(s) (types of coverage and policy limits, deductible, exclusions, and outstanding claims).
Please refer to question 2d and the attached Sample Insurance Certificate.
Describe your firm’s safety policy and how it would be implemented on this job.
PAR West is committed to the health and safety of its personnel, customers, subcontractors, and communities in which we work. In addition to project and site-specific safety plans, which will evolve as the program scope becomes more solidified, promoting an overall safe work environment is a fundamental part of our business. Our core philosophy is that safety takes precedence over all business pursuits and work practices.
Every Quanta operating unit works hard to achieve and maintain one of the best safety records in the industry.
Our Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) incident rate is consistently lower than the industry average. This level of safety excellence is the product of a highly effective and proactive safety program. PAR is committed to providing a safe work environment for its employees and ensuring the public's safety on project- related work. We provide this same commitment to every customer by assigning safety managers to each project and program to work side-by-side with our customers’ operations management teams.
Our goal is to complete all projects in an efficient, productive manner while incorporating safe working conditions and strong safety consciousness. This awareness is instilled in all of our employees, supervisors, subcontractors, and related project personnel.
To accomplish this goal, we will:
• Provide the necessary tools, training, and support for our employees to recognize potential hazards and safely mitigate these hazards.
• Deliver consistent onboarding for each employee to create consistent messaging and awareness of unique project safety risks.
• Build a safety culture that instills ownership in our employees. • Comply with all safety, health, and environmental standards that are enforced by local, state, and federal agencies.
• Establish safety sponsorship at the highest levels of our organization to ensure that employees at every level – including management – are accountable for achieving the organization’s safety goals. The goal of our Safety Program is to use the training, equipment, and communication at our disposal to ensure that every employee has the necessary tools to make safe decisions. • PAR West’s Safety, Health, and Environmental Manual is the cornerstone of our safety and health program. All employees performing work on-site are regularly trained and tested on these procedures. • Across Quanta Services, we employ more than 500 safety professionals with experience in the electrical power, telecommunications, and pipeline industries. These safety professionals spend most of their time in the field working with employees and supervisors to identify safety program improvements and work toward eliminating safety barriers.

8. Additional Information
We train to identify, then avoid, or mitigate safety risks. The Capacity Model™ inspires a work environment that focuses on preventing incidents while also building the capacity for failure by always planning and executing our work as if failure is going to happen today.
The Capacity Model™ is the evolution of Goal Zero safety programs. PAR believes that many major safety events commonly stem from a sequence of multiple small failures within the safety planning process. The Capacity Model™ takes all planning and training to prevent an accident and adds “capacity” to potential failure points to ensure that small safety events do not cascade into catastrophic events.
Safety is an embedded part of our culture and a consistent priority on every project; everyone associated with our projects should get home safely every day. Safety is a critical consideration when we select our team members. Our commitment to the safety of all personnel, as well as the public, will be an invaluable asset to this program.
Our team will have a dedicated safety professional throughout the life of the project, from the original design phase through completion and closeout. This dedicated individual and associated resources will track all metrics for this project and ensure compliance with all required reporting. Our team designs projects with safety and construction in mind, and we will utilize the knowledge and experience of our entire safety staff.
Our Safety Manual is attached. If PAR West is selected as the City of Vista’s Design-Build contractor, we will provide Site Specific Health and Safety Manuals for the 12 sites across the City.
Describe in-house resources for prime respondent and co-venture partner(s).
We are a fully in-house team of Quanta Companies. We are partnered with QUES for engineering design, permitting coordination, utility coordination, and surveying that complement PAR West’s engineering and professional services. We are local to California and work within the same systems and frameworks, seamlessly allowing us to collaborate and deliver for the City of Vista.
Indicate if contractor will self-perform any work, and if so, what trades. Also indicate if contractor has any union signatory agreements.
PAR West is a signatory to IBEW. We will self-perform the following work:
• Material procurement
• Excavation and trenching
• Installation of conduits and conductors
• Installation of pads
• Installation of bollards
• Base paving
• Assist with commissioning
Subcontracted scopes include:
• Concrete sidewalk, curbs, and gutters

8. Additional Information
• Final paving and striping
• Fencing and gates
• Design and permitting (will be performed by a Quanta Company) • Traffic control plans and services
Describe the Design-Build process and tools for developing a GMP and addressing issues such as:
- Optimum time to establish GMP
- How the GMP will be calculated
- How the DB proposes to deal with unknown issues
- The DB conceptual estimating process
- Input from specialty contractors
- Primary challenges in establishing the GMP
To support the City of Vista in their EV Charging installations and the development of a GMP, PAR West will utilize their extensive EV Charging installation knowledge and design-build experience to evaluate constructability and relate that to construction pricing throughout the design process.
PAR West and our vast network of construction sister companies at Quanta have developed processes to engage construction resources early in the project life cycle. Bringing in construction teams with local expertise early allows us to influence the design rather than suggest changes after mobilizing to build the site. Our experienced construction contractors review sites for constructability, look for value-engineering opportunities, and provide input on local utility and permitting challenges. All of these efforts lead to better scope definition, shorter schedules, and lower costs.
PAR West will develop a deployment plan upon award and mobilize construction/engineering personnel to review the 30% designs provided by the City of Vista and recommend any changes or additional considerations.
PAR West has executed Design-Build projects with a variety of milestone payments. Staging the project with associated fees at each step allows the proper evaluation to take place prior to moving forward with the next steps. To commence a project in a design-build setting PAR West would provide a cost estimate for the following steps (this can be adjusted upon further discussion with the City of Vista):
Professional Services
1. Review of 30% Designs (RFP pricing)
2. Site Survey
3. Detailed Engineering (60%, 90%, 100%)
4. Permitting
5. Utility Coordination
The optimum time to complete the GMP is when the design has progressed enough that changes are at a minimum and progression with AHJ and Utility Coordination are far enough along to understand the unique requirements at each site. Upon completion of these milestones, a lump sum fixed GMP fee construction cost will be provided.
In establishing the GMP, PAR West will utilize both its internal estimating and operations teams while engaging specialty contractors for firm pricing on specified scopes. By performing the construction in-house, we have access to historical records on productivity and cost. Due to the design-build nature of this program, constructability insights will be provided through the design process, which will aid in the creation of the GMP.
PAR West will create a scope takeoff and cost estimate while simultaneously and independently creating a project-specific schedule from the operations side. Then an internal review meeting will be performed, during which the schedule and cost estimate will be analyzed for differences and similarities until a joint understanding is agreed. This process will also create a project-specific risk register, allowing proper contingencies to be 06/25/2024 C7 Page 72 of 223

included in the GMP. Throughout this process, specialty subcontractors will be engaged for current pricing and to ensure scopes and timelines are understood.
Historically, primary challenges in establishing the GMP come from lack of project understanding and/or time constraints. With PAR West self-performing a vast majority of the construction work, these challenges are minimized. By including our construction team into the design process, we can fully understand the scope and constraints much earlier in the process, allowing for a better overall project understanding, eliminated guess work and creating confidence in the project.

SECTION 26 27 44
SPECIFICATIONS FOR CMS AND CPO

1. Safe emergency mode: In the event of loss of network or local hardware connect, or other system failure, the charging and energy management system shall know the predefined charging level that the charger defaults back to when communication is lost. This level is called a “fallback value”. This allows for the charger to continue operating in the case of connection issues and is important for the overall resiliency and uptime of the charging ecosystem.
B. Charge Management Services
1. The primary objective of the CMS shall be reducing retail energy charges by the minimization of total charging power or peak load (peak shaving) according to a maximum limit set by the site operator. The online web user interface shall include an option to set the maximum site limit in kW, effective for all charging points connected in the system.
2. System shall have ability to reliably manage charging to:
a. Accommodate fleet schedules, ensuring each vehicle has the charge it needs to run its individual route.
b. Comply with utility time of use rates, avoiding charging during peak rate hours when possible.
c. Coordinate with systems that control distributed energy resources and other loads on- site.
3. The Charging Energy Management system shall control and optimize all charging onsite to keep the total peak load below the pre-determined and defined grid limit. Furthermore, the charging and energy management system must ensure that the predefined minimum charging current is maintained at each charging point while the charging point is active. This means that the minimum charging power is permanently available to all connected vehicles.
4. The system shall be able to adjust charging power at each EVSE dependent on the vehicle’s departure time, energy requirements and/or priority level.
5. System shall have ability to set different charging logics:
a. Uniform distribution of available power according to first-come-first-served logic in the event of power bottlenecks.
b. Sequential distribution of available power to vehicles (possibly depending on vehicle and charging station):
i) Considering the departure times per vehicle.
ii) Considering the current state of charge (SoC) per vehicle. iii) Considering the target state of charge/energy demand per vehicle. iv) Include input option of departure times and energy demand in the web app.
6. System shall have ability to supply the energy demand for preconditioning of the vehicles.
7. The CMS must automatically detect the end of charging of a connected electric vehicle. If this is detected, the system releases the previously required charging power for other users without the user of the electric vehicle having to intervene. The system must ensure that the released power is automatically distributed among the charging electric vehicles in the 06/25/2024 C7 Page 186 of 223
SECTION 26 27 44
SPECIFICATIONS FOR CMS AND CPO

order of the connection times. In addition, it shall be possible to detect the actual charging power including the skewed phase load by single-phase and two-phase electric vehicles.
Thus, the system always guarantees an optimal utilization of the available total power.
8. Control of power per charging point and not on a charging station basis (if supported by charging station; this is important for charging stations with more than one charging point) C. Load Management Services
1. System shall be able to control individual chargers to maintain total power of all chargers below the allowable load of a grid service or feeder as described in NEC 625.42.
2. Distribution of available charging power among all active charging points beneath an agreed-upon limit, accounting for real-time power draw from on-site building load.
3. Optimization of power distribution to any sub-distribution to minimize sub-circuit peak load when charging electric vehicles while considering all limits (multi-fuse). Prioritization of charge ports is not affected by the charging station’s location within the sub-distribution network.
4. Unwanted power peaks are avoided by integrating the power draw from additional consumers and dynamically controlling the charging processes depending on the real-time power draw at the site/grid connection/transformer. The total charging power available for the charging stations is dynamically adjusted to the current power consumption in the entire building and evenly distributed between the individual charging stations. As soon as they reach load peaks, the charging power is automatically reduced.
5. Manual Prioritization and redistribution of maximum available charging power shall be provided via web application.
2.05 CPO FUNCTIONAL SCOPE
A. Allow Owner to dictate charging prices by time of day and day of week, and by driver groups (e.g. employees vs public).
B. Allow Owner to dictate idling price. This will be charged to EVs that are plugged in but not charging.
C. Show station status (Available, Occupied, Offline) on PlugShare and CPO’s mobile app.
D. Handle billing for charging. EV drivers must be able to initiate and pay for their EV charging through an interface on the EVSE.
E. Transfer charging revenue to Owner’s bank account. Accumulated charging revenue shall be transferred at a frequency specified by the Owner upon commissioning.
F. Track charger faults and either perform auto-fault recovery, or automatically generate maintenance tickets.
G. Load Management Services per 2.04.C.
