Scope of Work
Exhibit A
BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill 118 (Nunez, Chapter 750, Statutes of 2007), created the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVT Program). The statute, subsequently amended by AB 109 (Nunez, Chapter 313, Statutes of 2008), authorizes the Energy Commission to develop and deploy alternative and renewable fuels and advanced transportation technologies to help attain the state's climate change policies. The Energy Commission has an annual program budget of approximately $100 million and provides financial support for projects that
• Develop and improve alternative and renewable low-carbon fuels;
• Optimize alternative and renewable fuels for existing and developing engine technologies;
• Produce alternative and renewable low-carbon fuels in California;
• Decrease, on a full fuel cycle basis, the overall impact and carbon footprint of alternative and renewable fuels and increase sustainability;
• Expand fuel infrastructure, fueling stations, and equipment;
• Improve light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle technologies;
• Retrofit medium- and heavy-duty on-road and non-road vehicle fleets;
• Expand infrastructure connected with existing fleets, public transit, and transportation corridors; and
• Establish workforce training programs, conduct public education and promotion, and create technology centers.
The California Energy Commission issued solicitation PON-08-010 to provide funding opportunities under the ARFVT Program for projects which have been awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) under a federal funding opportunity announcement for specified transportation projects. To be eligible for funding, under PON-08-010, the projects must also be consistent with the Energy Commissions AB118 Program Investment Plan updated annually.
In response to PON-08-010, Recipient submitted application #18, which was proposed for funding in the Energy Commission's Notice of Proposed Awards (as revised February 16, 2010), and is incorporated by reference to this Agreement in its entirety.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
With production Electric Vehicles (EVs) available next year, the lack of infrastructure to support these vehicles is now a barrier to their widespread adoption and the realization of the potential they provide for petroleum reduction. The proposed Project takes advantage of the initial availability of Nissan EVs to develop, implement and study techniques for optimizing the effectiveness of infrastructure supporting widespread EV deployment. By studying and developing lessons learned from the infrastructure supporting these first 5,000 vehicles, the proposed Project enables deployment of the next 5,000,000 vehicles.
