BACKGROUND
On January 13, 2004, the City Council awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corporation the
design -build, operation, and maintenance contract for the compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling
station at the Santa Clarita Transit Maintenance Facility, Project No. F0003. Two CNG fueling
stations were built at the Transit Maintenance Facility (TMF) based on growth projections over
the next 20 years. One station fuels and maintains the City's growing CNG transit fleet, and the
second station is situated along the Alta Vista Drive right-of-way serving the public.
The construction was substantially completed on time and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
on September 1, 2005. Additionally, the Citys Transit System has now successfully fueled and
operated its CNG fleet for 60 consecutive days, as contractually required prior to project
acceptance. The ten-year operation and maintenance period began once the CNG stations were
substantially completed and will continue per contract until September 1, 2015.
The total cost of the design build phase of the project was within budget amounting to
$3,698,817.69. The City received a MSRC grant from the Air Quality Management District
amounting to $843,115.00, and used Proposition A and Proposition C local funding to pay for
the balance of the cost.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for the design -build of the natural gas fueling station project was $3,698,817.69.
Expenditures were adequately provided for within the Transit Maintenance Facility budget.
Account Nos. F0003205-8001, F0003206-8001, and F0003453-8001 were used to track all
expenditures for the fueling station.
