DISCUSSION: 1. Purpose To establish a two-year contract to purchase up to 81 four-door electric sedans to be used at LAX. 2. Prior Related Actions April 6, 1999 - Resolution No. 20609 The Board of Airport Commissioners adopted the Los Angeles World Airports' Alternative Fuels Vehicle Program. The proposed policy provided guidelines governing LAWA's identification and replacement of its own traditional fossil fuel powered vehicles and equipment with alternative fuel vehicles, where possible. January 14, 2013 - Resolution No. 25016, (DA-4785) The Board of Airport Commissioners awarded a contract to DCH Gardena Honda for 15 Honda Civic GX sedans fueled by compressed natural gas, for an amount not-to-exceed $404,076.94. June 15, 2017 The Board of Airport Commissioners adopted the Electric Vehicle Purchasing Policy for LAWA's light-duty fleet vehicles. 3. Current Action LAWA's Maintenance Services Division (MSD) is responsible for vehicle and equipment replacement. Cars, trucks, utility vehicles, and specialized equipment items are evaluated on a regular basis for replacement. Through this action, staff will replace up to 81 vehicles at the end of their useful life, including sedans and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), with fully electric sedans. Replacement of these vehicles will increase availability, reliability, operational safety, and delivery of services while decreasing emissions and maintenance costs. Light-duty vehicles that are fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG) are no longer available. In order to remain in compliance with LAWA's Alternative Fuels Vehicle requirements and meet service requirements, staff determined the best replacement alternative would be the new generation of extended-range fully electric sedans. During Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18, staff will replace 51 vehicles for an estimated cost of $1,935,000. Thirty vehicles will be replaced in FY 2018-19 at an estimated cost of $1,171,000. The requested contract amount breaks down as follows: Fiscal Year No. of Replaced Vehicles Totals 2017-18 51 $1,935,000 2018-19 30* $1,171,000 Total 81 $3,106,000 *Estimated replacement Page 2
As the State of California contract allows price increases of up to 3% for newer model year vehicles, the FY 2018-19 Price per Vehicle represents a 3% increase over FY 2017-18. The breakdown of costs per vehicle is as follows: Fiscal Year Price per Vehicle Sales Tax Fees Total 2017-18 $34,386.00 $3,180.71 $357.00 $37,923.71 2018-19 $35,391.78 $3,273.74 $357.00 $39,022.52 Infrastructure required to charge the vehicles procured under this request will be purchased and installed by the Facilities Maintenance and Utilities Group (FMUG). FMUG plans to install chargers in the locations identified by the Planning and Development Group (PDG) with the first group of 51 chargers, required to support the FY 2017-18 electric sedan purchase, being installed at locations that may include the Administration West Building, Administration East Building, the 96th Street Police Station and the Maintenance Services Division (MSD) maintenance yard. Subsequent charger installations, including those required to support the FY 2018-19 electric sedan purchase, along with future LAWA fleet and public electric vehicle requirements, will be determined as part of the PDG's electric vehicle charger study that is expected to be completed by early 2018. The estimated vehicle charger costs, including both materials and labor, for the first 51 chargers required to support the FY 2017-18 electric sedan purchase, using LAWA's historic average actual cost of $10,227 per charger, plus a 10% contingency, totals $573,735 and is included in the FY 2017-18 Maintenance Services Division operating budget. Funding for the additional 30 electric vehicle chargers required to support the FY 2018-19 electric sedan purchase will be requested through the annual budget process. Procurement Process LAWA joined the City of Los Angeles' inter-agency bid with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Los Angeles Harbor Department, County of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The participating agencies' purpose was to leverage their combined buying power in order to achieve an economy of scale. The City posted Request for Bid No. 5312 on the Los Angeles Business Assistance Virtual Network on January 27, 2017. It closed on February 15, 2017 with two bids, one of which did not meet specification. Consequently, the City of Los Angeles withdrew its bid on April 14, 2017. Staff conducted research and found two potential contracts to join. The National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) had procured a contract for electric vehicles, but staff also learned that the State of California had just established a new contract (No. 1-16-23-10D) with Winner Chevrolet. Staff deemed the State of California contract was more advantageous to LAWA due to the volume of purchasing (better pricing) under this contract, than if LAWA was to issue a separate bid. The NJPA's base pricing is $37,495 per electric vehicle, which is the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Page 3
Action Requested Staff requests the Board authorize the Chief Executive Officer to join the State of California Contract No. 1-16-23-10D with Winner Chevrolet and to award a two-year contract for the purchase of up to 81 four-door electric sedans to be used at LAX for a total amount not-toexceed $3,106,000. Fiscal Impact Staff recommends replacement of the aging vehicles due to increased operational and maintenance costs. Costs for this contract will he recovered through landing fees, terminal rates and charges, and non-aeronautical revenues. LAWA may obtain up to $590,000 in rebates from the California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. The Project allows public agencies operating in California to apply for rebates in the amount of $10,000 per electric vehicle, up to a maximum of 30 vehicles per agency, per calendar year, pending funding availability. LAWA has already applied for one rebate for an electric sedan previously purchased. LAWA may apply for the remaining 29 rebates for calendar year 2017 once the contract with Winner Chevrolet is executed. Then LAWA may apply for 30 additional rebates in calendar year 2018. 4. Alternatives Considered Issue a Separate Bid Staff considered proceeding with LAWA's bid process for the purchase these electric sedans. However, State of California Contract No. 1-16-23-10D with Winner Chevrolet was established through a competitive process. The State's contract also has better pricing than the one bid that met the City's inter-agency RFB specifications. Since Contract No. 1-16-23-10D meets LAWA's needs for electric sedans, staff determined that a separate competitive process by LAWA alone would not result in better pricing due to the volume of purchasing through the State of California (economy of scale). APPROPRIATIONS: Funds for this contract, the vehicle chargers and related accessories are available in LAWA's Fiscal Year 2017-18 Maintenance Services Division Operating Budget in Cost Center 1150042 - Airside Maintenance & Repair, Commitment Item 104 - Assets. Funding for additional vehicles and chargers will be requested through the annual budget process. STANDARD PROVISIONS: 1.
