Subject:December 5 Item 8 Staff and Written Communications

Hi,
Thank you for the report on Item 8, the following are questions/comments for Staff and Written
Communications:
Question 1:
Attachment B states these units will be rotated every two months. Has Staff been trained on moving
these units?
Question 2:
The report mentions these are designed for winds up to 160 mph, what features do they have with
regards to their seismic design?
Question 3:
What is the cost differential from installing a permanent solar charger station? An internet search of
Solar Carport yields many options and styles.
Question 4:
What is the ongoing maintenance, expected useful life, and how is the assembly, especially the
battery be disposed of?
Question 5:
What Level Charger will this have?
Question 6:
It appears that the EV ARC 2020 is specified as the charging system but the EV charger is selected by
the City? Can that be competitively bid? For instance, can we specify we want a Level 3 charger and
choose the lowest bid?
Thank you,
Kitty Moore

REQUEST: Director Mosley, please forward to Assistant Director Tan.
Dear Assistant Director Tan,
I have a few questions regarding this EV grant:
Q1: Will it only take up 1 parking space or will the adjoining spaces be unavailable for parking?
As you know, parking is at a premium so this is important to know in advance.
Q2: Funding…does the city have to buy it first then get re-imbursed or are they given the money
first?
Q3: Will there be any additional costs NOT COVERED by this grant to implement this feature?
If so, how much?
Q4: How much wind can this contraption endure? What is the max sustainable win before it topples
over?
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
