Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) continues to transition the fleet to electric vehicles in support of sustainability initiatives and operational efficiency. In 2025, the City installed the first electric vehicle (EV) charger at the Transit Maintenance Facility (TMF), to support the initial deployment of the first electric GO! Santa Clarita vehicle. Page 1 Packet Pg. 165 Since that time, the City has ordered seven additional electric vehicles for GO! Santa Clarita service as part of the City's ongoing transition TO a zero -emission fleet. As the number of electric vehicles increases, expanded charging infrastructure is necessary to ensure sufficient charging capacity to accommodate the growing electric fleet. The addition of three EV chargers will support current operational needs and provide necessary infrastructure to support the electric vans currently on order. The proposed equipment includes EV ARCTM systems that are fully autonomous, solar -powered charging units with integrated battery storage. These systems capture and store solar energy, enabling vehicle charging both during the day and at night without reliance on the electrical grid. In addition to supporting daily fleet operations, the onboard battery storage can provide a source of emergency backup power during outages or other disruptions, enhancing overall system resiliency. The EV ARCTM system features a charging pad design, allowing vehicles to park directly on the unit to charge. Unlike traditional EV chargers, EV ARCTM systems do not require electrical trenching, utility connections, or permanent installation. These units are delivered fully assembled and can be deployed on -site and placed into service with minimal site preparation. The purchase also includes one ChargePoint EV Inc., (ChargePoint) charger, which will require installation and connection to the facility's electrical infrastructure. The ChargePoint system is a fast -charging system for charging vehicles in-between services. The EV ARCTM systems are designed for overnight charges. The City applied for and received California EnergIIZE and SB1 State of Good Repair grants to fund the cost of this project. The grant funding was awarded after the adoption of the City's budget; therefore, City Council approval is required to appropriate the fiends and authorize project expenditures. After conducting extensive research to find the most competitive pricing and the highest quality equipment/services, staff recommends using the City's piggyback purchasing option for this procurement. The use of piggyback purchasing allows the City to place orders against a competitively awarded public agency contract. The City is using cooperative purchasing contracts with Sourcewell, which allows the City to take advantage of an existing process. The contract with Beam Global for the EV ARCTM system, which was awarded on October 2, 2025, was solicited through a competitive bid process and is valid through September 18, 2029. The contract with ChargePoint, which was awarded on October 26, 2025, was solicited through a competitive bid process and is valid through September 18, 2029. After performing a cost analysis and reviewing pricing for comparable units and services from other sources, it has been determined that the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contracts with Beam Global and ChargePoint provide competitive pricing, quality service, and the best value to the City. Additionally, there are no local vendors that provide these EV charging units on a cooperative purchasing contract. Using the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contracts results in a total sale price of $198,294 for the EV ARCTM system and $57,222 for the ChargePoint system, inclusive of tax and delivery. Page 2 Packet Pg. 166 Staff solicited informal quotes for the installation of the ChargePoint EV charger, the results of which are shown below: Company Location Quoted Price H&S Electric Santa Clarita, CA $43,000 GFI Electrical Santa Clarita, CA $48,671 Core Electric Santa Clarita, CA Declined to Provide Staff recommends the installation of the ChargePoint EV charger be awarded to H&S Electric, the lowest responsive vendor. The requested contingency will cover the cost of unforeseen site conditions, such as working with existing electrical systems and potential trenching conflicts. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The City has received a California Energy Commission EnergIIZE Grant to fund $45,777 of the project cost and has programmed SB1 State of Good Repair funds in the amount of $257,039 to fund the remaining balance. Upon approval of the recommended actions, budget for the Transit Capital Equipment Expenditure Account (7003702-520102) will increase by $255,516, Transit Capital Contractual Services Expenditure Account (7003702-516101) will increase by $47,300, SB1 State of Good Repair Revenue Account (700-442414) will increase by $257,039, and Miscellaneous Revenue Account (700-462101) will increase by $45,777.

For ARC MobilityTm Trailer deliveries, the equipment arrives in the "stowed" configuration and the technician utilizes hydraulic rams on the trailer to lower the system into the designated parking space. The technician then performs the "un-stow" process, which includes raising the steel beam and unfolding the solar panels. After this is completed, the product is activated and commissioned so that it is ready to charge electric vehicles. For flatbed trailer or shipping container deliveries, the Service force coordinates with the customer to arrange a forklift to off-load the equipment, then the Service force technician performs the "un-stow" process following the same procedures. Beam Global quotes Shipping and Handling costs based on freight rates to ship the EV ARCTM systems to the customer's delivery location; the quantity of EV ARCTM systems being delivered determines the freight cost multiplier (if multiple shipments are required to deliver all equipment); then Beam Global's Service force adds the cost of staff transport, lodging and labor required to perform the delivery as previously described. 39 Demonstrate your capabilities to provide Beam Global has successfully deployed EV ARCTM charging solutions across solutions offered by providing a list of numerous government agencies, municipalities, and public institutions.

Bid Number: RFP 021825 Vendor Name: Beam Global Docusign Envelope ID: F920993C-6590-4B59-B8D0-BFB5785DECC0 45 Describe any technological Beam Global's flagship EV ARCTM product is a self-contained energy generation, storage advances that your proposed and distribution system that provides EV charging (and off -grid energy security) services at a Solutions offer. customer's location. Designed to operate in the harshest of environments, the EV ARCTM is wind -rated to withstand winds of up to 160 mph. This makes it highly resilient and capable of continuing to operate even in severe weather conditions. Additionally, the system is flood - proof up to 9.5 feet, ensuring reliable performance during various environmental challenges. The EV ARCTM system is delivered to the customer within 90 days of purchase; the equipment does not require the typical engineering, construction, grid connection and site development work that other grid -tied EV charging infrastructure installations require. This allows customers to accelerate their timeline for EV charging development; it enables scalable deployment of EV charging across multiple sites simultaneously; it allows customers to provide EV charging services at leased facilities without any long-term commitment to the site itself; customers can even relocate the standalone and transportable equipment to new locations as customer and site infrastructure needs evolve over time. These unique features and benefits represent a distinct value proposition not available with other product offerings within this category. 46 Describe any "green" initiatives Beam Global considers itself a sustainable technology and innovation company because all that relate to your company or to of our products are ""green"" energy solutions powered by 100% clean renewable energy. your Solutions, and include a list of the certifying agency for each. The EV ARCTM system converts solar energy into 100% renewable and emissions free fuel for electric vehicles; every time an EV plugs into Company equipment, that vehicle is ""Driving on Sunshine"". Beam Global's equipment can create new opportunities to power ""green"" initiatives for Sourcewell participating entities by providing EV charging services on location quickly and easily, and at sites where EV charging may otherwise be too difficult to develop through traditional methods due to infrastructure challenges. Even when Sourcewell participating entities are able to develop EV charging at their locations through traditional methods, it is often impossible to guarantee that the energy provided through those EV charging projects is completely ""green"" when those projects are connected to the utility grid. Over 50% of all energy generation within the US utility grid is still generated by the burning of fossil fuels; by contrast, every EV ARCTM system provided by Beam Global is powering customer EVs with a guaranteed ""green"" fuel source and allows EVs to drive 100% emissions free. 47 Identify any third -party issued eco- N/A labels, ratings or certifications that your company has received for the Solutions included in your Proposal related to energy efficiency or conservation, life -cycle design (cradle -to -cradle), or other green/sustainability factors. 48 What unique attributes does your Beam Global's EV ARCTM product line is unique within the industry as the fastest and company, your products, or your easiest way to provide EV charging infrastructure at a location without any of the traditional services offer to Sourcewell installation work (i.e., permitting, engineering, construction, installation, grid connection, etc.) participating entities? What makes your proposed solutions unique in The EV ARCTM product has a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to a your industry as it applies to traditional grid -tied charging station thanks to all of the avoided costs that it allows Sourcewell participating entities? participating entities to skip over, which includes the entire installation process. In addition, since the system is off grid, it will never generate a utility bill and as a result there are significant long-term cost savings. In addition, the standalone and self -generating nature of the EV ARCTM solution allows it to continue producing, storing and distributing clean energy for EV charging even in the event of a blackout or grid outage. This allows electric vehicles to continue to operate and charge even when there is no traditional grid power available. The need for off grid EV charging has become increasingly important as government agencies transition their Fleets to electric vehicles as a way to keep these vehicles running and still providing vital services to their constituents through any emergency scenario where there is no grid power. When equipped with the optional Emergency Power Panel feature, the EV ARCTM system can also double as an off grid power asset that can charge other vital devices powered by electricity through the 120V/240V outlets that are incorporated when traditional grid power is unavailable. The EV ARCTM is a permanent, but also transportable, piece of infrastructure. Unlike a traditional grid -tied charging station, the EV ARCTM can be moved with specialized equipment to another location without any construction or traditional installation work. This provides a unique layer of flexibility and scalability with one's charging infrastructure that is not possible with permanently installed grid -tied charging infrastructure. It also makes it a great solution for leased properties as well. 49 Describe all end -user payment Check, ACH, Wire methods offered for charging, as applicable.
