Title
Resolution approving an amendment to a license agreement with EVgo Services LLC for the installation and operation of electric vehicle chargers at the Miller Avenue Parking Garage located at 329 Miller Avenue, South San Francisco.
body
WHEREAS, on September 26, 2018, the City entered into a License Agreement with EVgo Services LLC (“EVgo”) for the installation and operation of four (4) high powered EV charging stations, and the use of five (5) parking stalls (one stall is for accessible EV charging), at the Miller Avenue Parking Garage; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the License Agreement, EVgo was to design, construct, and operate the charging stations, and was to be responsible for paying the costs associated thereto; and
WHEREAS, EVgo was to upgrade electrical transformers at the proposed charging stations for providing future utility services, and was to provide separate utility meters at its sole expense and pay utility costs that the charging stations incur directly to Pacific Gas and Electric (“PG&E”); and
WHEREAS, based on new information provided by PG&E, EVgo has determined it was not possible to install a master meter where it would pay utility costs directly to PG&E; and
WHEREAS, EVgo has proposed to install a sub-meter in the existing meter socket instead of a master meter, which would require the City to upfront all utility payments that the charging stations incur, and EVgo would reimburse the City for its share of utility costs based on a reimbursement rate that reflects the charging stations’ electricity usage; and
WHEREAS, the electricity reimbursement rate is to be calculated based on usage data at the charging station and will be re-evaluated and adjusted annually; and
WHEREAS, staff has determined that the reimbursement structure and rate are reasonable and recommends the City amend the License Agreement with EVgo to reflect the new reimbursement structure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco that the City Council approves the amendment to a license agreement with EVgo Services LLC, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the amendment and any other related documents on behalf of the City upon timely submission by EVgo Services LLC of the signed amendment and all other documents, subject to the approval of the City Attorney.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council authorizes the City Manager to take any other related actions consistent with the intention of this resolution.
