SUMMARY
The proposed master site license agreement will allow East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), a Joint Powers Authority, to install, operate, and maintain Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) to fuel electric vehicles (EV) at multiple municipal facilities. As shown in Exhibit A of the master license agreement, EV-only parking stalls will be assessed for feasibility, and may be installed at one or more parking lots or garages. EBCE's standard project design is a minimum of 10-dual port DCFCs at each project site. However, EBCE's feasibility assessments may reveal that size and volume of chargers at certain specific sites may need to be modified based on available parking stalls and electrical capacity at the site. All DCFCs will be available for use by the public, via payment of dynamic rates that will vary over time based on market conditions. EBCE will pay for the installation, operation, maintenance, and electricity costs. This agreement allows EBCE to operate these EV fast chargers and associated electrical equipment on City of San Leandro (City) property for 15 years.
