BayCAP2 <br /> <br />I. Maintain public accessibility for all chargers on a 24/7 basis. <br />J. Maintain stations in good operating condition during the 2014-2016 project operating <br />period. <br />K. Provide adequate insurance per CEC requirements. <br />L. Operate the chargers in compliance with a Site Host Pricing Policy that meets grant <br />requirements defined in the California EV Alliance response to PON-13-606 and summarized <br />herein. <br /> <br />IV. Siting Requirements <br /> <br />ABM will install Level 2 ChargePoint charging stations at the designated sites identified through <br />collaboration between the Site Host and ABM. In the event that these sites are deemed by ABM to <br />be cost-prohibitive, or pose other obstacles to effective installation, maintenance, or operation, a <br />new site will be identified that meets the selection criteria identified by the CEC and by the <br />California EV Alliance (CEVA), and which is mutually satisfactory to the Site Host, CEC, CEVA, and <br />ABM. Alternatively, the Site Host may choose to perform or contract additional services as outlined <br />below in Section V/Additional Services: <br /> <br /> Location: Select a high-demand, high-visibility location that conforms to CEC criteria for safety, <br />ease of access/ingress, shelter, lighting, and ADA access. <br /> Electricity: Select a location where AC Level 2 (240V/40A) electrical supply is or can be made <br />available with relative ease and minimal cost. (Note that the average cost of installation is <br />projected at a market value of approximately $4500 per site, which will limit panel upgrades and <br />conduit runs.) More cost details are available in the ABM Scope of Work (Section V below). <br /> Equipment Protection: EV chargers should be placed where they can be best protected from <br />physical damage by such measures as curbs, wheel stops, setbacks, bumper guards, and <br />concrete-filled steel bollards, while simultaneously taking into consideration ease of access to <br />the charger, mobility of users, and foot traffic in the area. <br /> Public Safety: Chargers should be located in areas with proper ventilation and away from <br />potential hazards including traffic, explosive materials, flammable vapors, liquids and gases, <br />combustible dust or fibers, materials that ignite spontaneously on contact with air, flood-prone <br />areas, and areas that might be prone to vandalism. <br /> Duration of Use: AC Level 2 charger sites should focus on locations where PEV owners will be <br />parked for significant, though shorter, periods of time (e.g., one to six hours). <br /> Shelter: When possible, choose locations with nearby shelter to protect users from weather <br />when connecting their vehicle to the charger. (However, chargers are designed to be safely <br />operated in exposed locations in the rain, with no danger of electrical shock.) <br /> Accessibility: To the extent feasible, EV charger locations within a site will be accessible in <br />accordance with the draft Governor’s Office of Planning & Research guidelines on ADA access. <br /> Security: Locations should be selected that are secure for users at all times of day and night and <br />relatively secure from vandalism (e.g., in well-lighted, well-traveled areas.) <br /> Cell Coverage: Chargers require cell phone signals for networked operation and repeaters may <br />be installed to provide signals if the site does not have coverage. <br />If no qualifying site is identified within the Site Host jurisdiction that satisfies the requirements of all <br />parties, then the California EV Alliance, with the concurrence of the California Energy Commission, <br />may propose a new site in another jurisdiction. <br />V.
