SUMMARY- With the new bids on the Pacific Avenue project, the issue of how /whether to include
the charging stations is ready to be decided In the research conducted at Council's request, a key
constraint emerged ECOtality, the company which operates the stations provided by the
Department of Commerce grant, controls the fee structure Our analysis indicates that at $2 00 per
hour, these stations can make money for the City, but at $1 00 per hour (the fee ECOtality insists
on), the stations lose money ECOtality has held out the possibility that fees could be increased in
the future, but will not commit to a $2 00 fee for Bremerton yet Given this constraint, the
Administration proposes the following
1) All infrastructure to support charging stations be installed, as currently provided in the Pacific
Avenue reconstruction contract This will result in the ability to install four charging stations
2) For now, install only two of the charging stations at this location Pursue other locations to install
the remaining two stations
3) Install the other two charging stations at locations to be determined, if arrangements satisfactory
to the Council can be developed
ATTACHMENTS:
1 Staff Report
2 Financial analysis w/ $1 /hour fee and $2 /hour fee
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount) At $1 00 /hour fee, each station will lose about
$1,425 per year on average over 5 years If the fee is $2 00 /hour, the two stations likely still lose
money initially but can pay for themselves as usage increases
