Gladstein, Neandross & Associates LLC (GNA) is a California limited liability company with its principal office at 3015 Main Street, Suite 300, Santa Monica, CA 90405. GNA is the nation's leading consulting firm for the development of LNG vehicle and refueling infrastructure projects such as this. Throughout the United States, there are 64 unique LNG projects of varying sizes. Of these 64, GNA has played an active role in the development of 32— exactly half. GNA's most significant projects in this area include: ➢ The development of the nation's most successful planned clean fuel corridor, the Interstate Clean Transportation Corridor; ➢ Acting as the primary consultant to the Mitsubishi Corporation on the development of an LNG vehicle project development strategy to support the company's planned Port of Long Beach LNG import terminal. ➢ The City of Los Angeles' only technical consultant for the development and support of the city-wide alternative fuel infrastructure development plan. Thus far, GNA has been involved in the development of three LNG and LNG/LCNG refueling station projects for the City, and is now working on the fourth. Through these projects and many others, GNA has developed a wealth of experience and understanding of the varied and unique skill sets that will be required to bring this project to a successful completion. Because of both the City's and CALTRANS' unfamiliarity with LNG/LCNG refueling station technologies, GNA understands that the City will need a contractor to act more like a "director" for this project, instead of a "follower" that will sit back and wait for further instructions from City staff and/or Caltrans. Continued progressive actions and persistence on the part of the contractor selected will be the only way in which this planned refueling station will be successfully developed. GNA has been the prime consultant to the two other LNG refueling station projects developed using CMAQ funding; Riverside County Waste Management Department's LNG refueling station, and the City of Barstow's LNG/LONG refueling station. The City of Barstow's project is extremely similar in scope to the City of San Bernardino's LNG/LONG refueling station. Both • have a total budget of approximately $1.2 million, of which approximately $900,000 is CMAQ funding; and both seek to develop a publicly accessible LNG/LCNG refueling station on City- 3015 Main Street, Suite 300 * Santa Monica, California 90405 * Ph: 310.314.1934 Fax: 310.314.9196 * www.giadstein.org 1J owned land. Given GNA's experiences in Riverside and Barstow, GNA is confident that it will be able to successfully navigate the CALTRANS process, while at the same time develop the detailed LNG/LCNG refueling station specifications required for San Bernardino's project. 40 GNA also has extensive experience in developing very simple and straightforward LNG/LCNG refueling stations that are capable of serving the needs of a large and diverse vehicle fleet. In the last several years, GNA has successfully developed LNG/LCNG refueling stations for the City of Tulare, City of Tulare, City of Redlands, City of Los Angeles, Grand Canyon National Park, and many others. In each of these projects, the fleet served by the fueling station ranged from light - duty passenger vehicles, to heavy-duty refuse collection and over -the -road trucks. Using the experience gained from these projects, GNA is confident that it will be able to deliver a design that is straightforward, efficient, cost-effective and most importantly, will meet the varied demands of the City of San Bernardino's diverse fleet both now and in the future. Lastly, GNA understands the extreme importance and dire need for this LNG/LCNG refueling station as a strategic location along some of the nation's busiest heavgduty truck corridors. As Project Director of the Interstate Clean Transportation Corridor, GNA recognizes and appreciates the City of San Bernardino's efforts to support alternative -fuel trucks traveling along the Interstate-215 and Interstate-10 Corridors, and the importance of this project to the City in its continuing role as a major transportation hub in the western United States. For this exciting project, GNA has assembled an expert team that brings together each of the essential skill sets sought by the City of San Bernardino. GNA will be responsible for the overall management of the project, including the development of all LNG/LCNG refueling station specifications and plans. Fuel Solutions will assist GNA with the development of the technical station specifications and drawing packages required for this project. AMEX Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AMEC), based in Riverside, will be responsible for completing the environmental review for this project, including the Environmental Assessment and Initial Study for this project. To provide the electrical design and geotechnical investigations for this project, GNA will retain the services of qualified firms that also meet the MBE/WBE requirements of this RFP. City & County Soils will perform the geotechnical investigations and reporting, while MDC Engineers will provide the electrical system design and drawings for this project. Enclosed please find GNA's response to the City's "Request for Proposal to Design a Liquefied Natural Gas/Liquefied to Compressed Natural Gas (LNG/LNG) Fueling Station." GNA has attempted to provide thorough responses to each of the elements within the City's RFP. Should you have any questions regarding the attached information, or should you desire additional information or documentation from GNA, please do not hesitate to contact me at 310-3141934- extension number 2. Sincerely our/ss,,�/ Erik Neandross 0 %t► EXHIBIT Al 1. SCOPE OF WORK • In response to the City of San Bernardino's February 4, 2004 Request For Proposals to Design a Liquefied Natural Gas/Liquefied to Compressed Natural Gas (LNG/LCNG) Fueling Station, Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA) has prepared the following scope of work. For each task requested by City of San Bernardino, GNA has provided a short summary of the work product and deliverables to be provided. TASK 1: Analyze the site selected by the City of San Bernardino for its planned LNG/LCNG fueling station (there are no alternative sites). Work with City of San Bernardino staff to identify the best location of the LNG/LCNG fueling station infrastructure on the site and obtain approval prior to proceeding to preliminary engineering. Task 1 - Proposed Scope of Work: Using its experience in the field, the initial design concept being proposed, and feedback from City staff, GNA will develop an initial site plan for this LNG/LCNG fueling station project showing equipment layout, entrance/exit points, existing structures on the site, and other basic information. Important factors in determining the best location will be: the location of the existing electrical power at the site; the future locations of the natural gas dispensing points; the location of the fuel station equipment in relation to nearby residential housing; the project budget; and other such concerns. Conceptual drawings will be provided to the City for review and further discussion. A final draft of the conceptual site plan will be developed and • approved by the City prior to moving to Task 2 of this scope of work. TASK 2: perform the preliminary engineering scope, including creation of site plan detailing new LNG/LCNG fueling station, initial specifications of LNG/LCNG fueling station infrastructure, and environmental documentation, to obtain City of San Bernardino, CALTRANS, and governing body authorization to proceed with final design and creation of construction documentation. Ascertain merits of inclusion of a recovery system in the design to deliver boil -off post meter to the local natural gas grid GNA believes this task to be one of the most critical for the successful completion of this project. The key to this phase of the project will be the successful integration of the consultant's LNG/LCNG refueling station technical expertise and understanding of the complex and often burdensome CALTRANS process. Because CMAQ funds are traditionally used to build roads, implement ride -share programs, coordinate traffic signals and develop other more traditional road projects, CALTRANS staff are often unfamiliar with LNG/LCNG refueling station technologies and the process required to develop such a project. In fact, GNA is aware of only two projects that have ever successfully used CMAQ funds to develop an LNG refueling station — both of which GNA has played a lead consulting role. The first project to ever use CMAQ funds to construct an LNG station was developed between 1998 and 2001 by • the Riverside County Waste Management Department. The other project is an 44 GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATESLLC LNG/LCNG station now being developed by the City of Barstow. As further detailed in • Section 8, GNA has been the lead consultant on both of these projects. GNA feels it important to note that the Barstow project has just recently received its Authority to Construct from CALTRANS and will be issuing the construction RFP (using GNA's assistance) in June 2004. For this task, GNA has made two assumptions. 1. This project has already been entered into the Regional Transportation Plan ("RTP") by the City of San Bernardino and SANBAG. 2. The City of San Bernardino already has a Master Agreement with CALTRANS. Should these assumptions be incorrect, GNA will be happy to assist the City with this required first step (entering the project into the RTP). However, this work will fall outside of the scope being proposed herein and will require either a contract amendment or a separate agreement. Developing a Master Agreement with CALTRANS is something that unfortunately falls beyond GNA's capabilities. Should this be required, the continued development of this LNG/LCNG refueling station project will be halted until such time as the San Bernardino City Council enters into such an agreement. Task 2 - Proposed Scope of Work: In addition to the initial conceptual plan approved by the City in Task 1 above, GNA will develop the preliminary specifications for this LNG/LCNG refueling station. These specifications will include such information as total bulk storage capacity, number of pumps, number of dispenses, fueling rates for each • dispenser, etc. For this task, GNA will make use of the existing fleet turnover and associated fuel demand data already developed by the City. Based upon the Estimated Annual Alternative Fuel Throughput data provided by the City in its design RFP, GNA believes that the City's LNG/LCNG refueling station will very likely experience boil -off and venting of the fuel from the bulk tank. This will result because the facility will initially be underutilized. While underutilized in years 1 and maybe 2, GNA agrees with the City's minimum equipment specifications details in Section 5.0 of the RFP that a 15,000-gallon LNG bulk storage tank will be the ideal size for the City's fueling station, especially in years 3, 4, 5 and beyond. To address the anticipated boil -off issue, GNA will assess the feasibility of a vapor recovery system to be included as part of the design for this project. GNA believes that a system designed to recover the gas and deliver it into either the local utility grid, or to the City's fleet maintenance facility for use may provide the simplest and most cost-effective solution to this issue. GNA's findings will be submitted to the City in a formal written report on the topic. Upon approval of the initial conceptual design plan by the City, the development of the initial specifications for this refueling facility, as well as the completion of its boil -off recovery system analysis and report, GNA will initiate the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) that will be required by CALTRANS to meet NEPA and CEQA. For the • City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 2 EXHIBIT Al GLADsmty, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC purposes of this proposal, the PES will be referenced by its other common names, an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Initial Study (IS). For the development of the EA/IS, GNA will rely on the expert services of its subcontractor, AMEX Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AMEC). GNA will closely coordinate AMEC's activities with CALTRANS to ensure that the appropriate CALTRANS officials are present during the official site visit, are made aware of when the required public hearings are scheduled, and are generally kept up to date on the project's status throughout this entire environmental review period. PLEASE NOTE: GNA's proposed scope of work for Task 2 assumes a straightforward environmental review and the issuance of a Negative Declaration. Should an Environmental Impact Study (EIS), or other more comprehensive technical studies (i.e traffic analysis, hazardous materials investigations, etc.) be required, GNA looks forward to working with the City of San Bernardino to address such additional efforts through a contract amendment or under a separate agreement. GNA also anticipates that the City of San Bernardino will provide assistance during the environmental review phase of this project. Given the City's significant experience in these areas, and its existing relationships with SANBAG and CALTRANS, GNA believes that any assistance provided by City staff will help to reduce the amount of funds required to be spent on consultanting fees. Ultimately, this will allow for a larger portion of the available grant funds/budget for this project to be spent on the purchase • and installation of actual LNG/LCNG refueling station hardware. Also during this phase of the project, the City of San Bernardino will be required to execute a "Program Supplement" to its Master Agreement with CALTRANS. To assist the City in this process, GNA will supply staff with the conceptual deign plan, LNG/LCNG refueling station specifications, and the preliminary environmental findings. This information must be included in a City staff report that is put before the council for approval. GNA will support these efforts as required, however, because this is an agreement between the City and CALTRANS, much of the responsibility for this Program Supplement will fall to the City. GNA anticipates that a Mitigated Negative Declaration will result from this phase of the project and CALTRANS will thus allow the commencement of the engineering and design phase of the project by issuing the Authorization to Proceed. It is only at this point will the project be allowed to proceed to Task 3. TASK 3: Develop and complete final design and Bid Package. This task includes the creation of detailed site drawings in a DWG format, equipment specifications, general and technical construction specifications, construction schedule timeline, construction cost estimates, and the contract documentation for the entire fueling station development project. The bid package shall include all plans and specifications relating to the on - City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 3 I GL,4mm N, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC and off -site improvements, relocation of any existing permanent facilities, retrofit of LNGILCNG dispensers in the existing gasoline and diesel fueling islands, card lock system, future system expansion, and such as required for governing body permitting. A complete set of the site drawings shall also be delivered to the City in an electronic DWG format. Task 3 - Proposed Scope of Work: GNA will develop a complete "ready to issue" bid package for the construction phase of the project based upon the accepted design and approvals received through this point in the project. The package will include a complete set of site drawings in a DWG format, equipment specifications, general and technical construction specifications, construction schedule timeline, construction cost estimates, and the contract documentation for the entire fueling station development project. The bid package shall include all plans and specifications relating to the on- and off -site improvements, relocation of any existing permanent facilities, retrofit of the existing card lock system at the site, and capacity for future system expansion. A complete list of the drawings to be included in the bid package is provided in Section 4 of this proposal. The bid package developed by GNA will be considerate of the following codes and standards: 1. California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Chapter 4, Subchapter 1, Unified Pressure Vessel Safety Orders 2. California Code of Regulations, Title 24, (California Building Code) Part 2, Volume 2 (provisions for structural engineering design) 3. NFPA 57, Liquefied Natural Gas Vehicular Fuel Systems Code 4. NFPA 59A, Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Chapter 10 5. NFPA 52, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicular Fuel Systems Code 6. NFPA 70, National Electrical Code 7. ASME, SECTION VIII, Pressure Vessels The final design and construction of the City's LNG/LCNG refueling facility will conform to the above listed codes, other design and building codes not listed here, as well as those codes and standard incorporated by reference. GNA is intimately familiar with the changes that were being developed for California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Chapter 4, Subchapter 1 between 2001 and 2002. However, CaIOSHA has recently taken a new direction in regard to these anticipated changes. Instead of modifying this document with additional, more complicated and potentially conflicting requirements, CalOSHA seeks to streamline the Title 8 regulation to more closely reflect the nationally accepted NGPA 52 and NFPA 57 code requirements. GNA believes this to be the best direction for CalOHSA and the Title 8 document. As the City's LNG/LCNG refueling station will meet the existing CCR Title 8 requirements, as well as NFPA 52 and 57, GNA does not anticipate any conflicts or compliance issues with applicable current codes at the time of station commissioning,. • r LA • City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 4 Li EXHIBIT Al GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC • Upon completion of the draft bid package, GNA will submit the document to the City of San Bernardino for review and comment. Comments will be incorporated in order to finalize the RFP package. GNA will then work closely with the City of San Bernardino to merge the LNG/LCNG refueling station bid package into the format required for a standard City civil works project. For the purposes of this scope of work, GNA assumes that the standard City bid package defines the DBE, MBE, WBE, and other federal bid requirements that will be required by CALTRANS. • E Although a small item, GNA has found that one of the most important pieces of the bid package for any LNG, LCNG, LNG/LCNG or CNG refueling station is a well defined and clear set of performance criteria. This performance criteria not only demonstrates to the potential bidders the minimum levels of performance that the City will expect from their LNG/LCNG refueling station, but they also are a tremendous help during the final walk -though and sign -off of the facility. As an example, the following performance criteria are included within the bid package developed by GNA for the City of Los Angeles's most recent LNG/LCNG refueling station (the fourth such facility GNA has assisted with City of LA with). Operation Minimum Performance Criteria Offloading 10,000-gallons of LNG from tanker truck 90-minutes Saturating 15,000-gallons of LNG fuel 60-minutes Simultaneous LNG dispensing through all 6 nozzles 25 to 40 GPM Simultaneous CNG dispensing through all 4 nozzles 750 SCFM and 250 SCF LCNG pump recharge of a completely empty high- 60-minutes pressure storage system By-pass of CNG ground storage by priority panel system when storage is empty and CNG fuel is required at the N/A dispenser ESD push-button, methane sensor and fire -eye activation; N/A and, subsequent call -out to the alarm company Successful operation of the card -reader system N/A California Weights & Measures Certification of the two (2) LNG Dispensers and all CNG dispensers N/A City of San Bemardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 5 A, GL.4mm N, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC The bid package developed by GNA will be very similar in nature to the bid packages • that GNA has already developed for eight (8) other existing LNG and LCNG/LCNG refueling station projects. These eight (8) projects include LNG stations now being successfully operated by: Riverside County Waste Management Department; City of Los Angeles; City of Redlands; City of Tulare; Harris Ranch; SafewayNons; Sysco Food Services of Los Angeles; and the Grand Canyon National Park. GNA believes that basing its bid package on these proven examples will not only provide the City of San Bernardino with a more cost-effective approach to this project, but will also serve to ensure similar success to the projects listed above that are already operating LNG stations. As an example of the type of bid package that GNA anticipates developing for this project, the RFP package developed by GNA for the City of Redlands is included in this proposal in Appendix A. This RFP was used to successfully solicit bids for the City of Redland's LNG/LCNG refueling station in late 2002. This project is extremely similar in nature to the City of San Bernardino's project in many ways. ➢ Both City's operate a mixed fleet of light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles that will gradually be replaced with natural gas powered vehicles. ➢ Both projects are adding an LNG/LCNG refueling system at an existing City fleet yard where there is existing diesel and gasoline refueling equipment. ➢ Both require that the new LNG and CNG dispensers be integrated into the • existing diesel and gasoline refueling system (including the card reader). ➢ Both projects are using federal funding (Redlands used FIFA funding) and therefore have to meet certain federal requirements in order to spend the money. ➢ Both projects have approximately the same budget and seek the same size fueling station. As can be seen in Part H — Special Provisions (pp. 48 - 76) of the Redlands RFP Package, the fuel station specifications are specific to the equipment and performance requirements of the City's project, demonstrate compliance with applicable codes and standards, and are considered to be at least the minimum industry standard. GNA is always extremely conscious to deliver specifications that do not favor one particular contractor or equipment provider over another. For this project, GNA seeks to mimic the work it has recently completed for the City of Redlands. Given the available budget and the size of the LNG/LCNG refueling station requested by the City, the bid package must be developed in such a manner as to yield competitive bids that fall within the available grant funds for this project. GNA is aware that the City of San Bernardino does not have any additional budget and that proposals received must meet or fall under the amount of grant funds available. Additionally, GNA is conscious of the fact that the budget for this design phase must also be paid for using the available grant funds. Is City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 6 EXHIBIT Al GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC With extensive experience in assisting agencies such as the City of San Bemardino to • develop, release, and award bids for LNG/LCNG fueling stations very similar to this, GNA is confident that the bid package developed for this project will solicit bids that meet the available budget. GNA is very proud of its excellent track record in this area GNA has never assisted in the development and release of an LNG/LCNG refueling station bid package that did not yield proposals that fell within the available project budget. In every instance, GNA's projects have been successfully awarded to a fuel station contractor and constructed as per the RFP package. While some projects have required additional negotiations with the most qualified bidder, GNA has always been able to assist in matching the client's fueling facility needs with the available budget. Using the Redlands project as the example again, the bids received for this job were slightly higher than the stated budget for this project. After a thorough review of the proposals received for this project, GNA and the City of Redlands selected the most qualified (although not the lowest cost) bidder. A meeting was set up with the station contractor to discuss how the project could proceed even though the contractor's quote was above budget. Within less than one -hour, GNA was able to work with both of the parties to slightly modify the scope of work to meet the available funding without sacrificing the performance of the facility that was delivered to the City. The RFP package developed by GNA will seek to solicit bids for this project using the amount of funding available after including the cost of this design phase scope of work. • However, due to its experience in developing similar projects to this using CMAQ funding, GNA is aware that the CMAQ funds approved for this project ($911,859.00) can be increased by 10 percent if required by the City. While these funds can be made available to the City, GNA believes that the best approach is to design a fueling station that can be built for the original grant amount not including this potential additional $91,186. • The completion of this task will be signaled by the submittal of the construction RFP package to CALTRANS. This is required in order that CALTRANS can review the RFP and issue its Authorization to Construct. It is only at this time will the City be able to release this RFP to potential bidders. (GNA also assumes that the City Council will have to authorize the release of this big package following approval and Authorization to Construct from CALTRANS.) TASK4: It is anticipated that a Conditional Use Permit or Development Permit shall be required as part of this project, to be issued through the City's Development Services Department. Prepare appropriate traffic and environmental studies necessary to support the project through the City's Design and Environmental Review process as set forth by the City of San Bernardino's Development Services Department, and to prepare all applications and staff reports associated with this process. City of San Bernardino LNGILCNG Fuel Station p. 7 GL4DSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC Task 4a: If unable to perform within firm, obtain the services of an environmental consultant, as a sub -consultant, to perform and prepare any environmental studies, documents, and reports necessary to satisfy project governing body or CEQAINEPA requirements. Task 4- Proposed Scope of Work: Although GNA did request from the City's Development Services Department a copy of the Conditional Use Permit application in order that a thorough response and detailed scope of work could be provided within this proposal, GNA was unable to secure an example application from the City. Therefore, we are unaware of the exact kinds of technical studies (traffic, noise, environmental, etc.) that will be required to secure this CUP and cannot commit to providing these potentially complex and lengthy services within this proposal. GNA does, however anticipate that a significant portion of the work completed during Task 2 of this scope of work (EAIIS) will be able to be used to secure a Conditional Use Permit from the City's Development Services Department. GNA believes that many of the same requirements for securing a mitigated Negative Declaration can be also be used during this task. GNA has included within this task the work required to utilize the information obtained from Task 2 (EA/IS process) to prepare the necessary documentation for presentation to the appropriate government agencies. GNA has also anticipated that its attendance will be required at a maximum of three (3) community meetings/public hearings. Should more complex studies (traffic, noise, visual impact, full EIR, extensive • community meetings, etc.) be required during this phase of the project, GNA looks forward to working with the City of San Bernardino to address such additional efforts through a contract amendment or under a separate agreement. TASK 5: Support the City of San Bernardino during the construction bid process and assist in bid evaluation and construction contractor selection including but not limited to the preparation of bid prequalification requirements, conducting pre -bid conferences, preparing staff reports, creating bid addenda in response to written questions, etc. This task will require the design consultant to thoroughly review all bids received. The design consultant will be expected to attend and provide detailed comments and insight into each of the bids received during a one -day Bid Evaluation Meeting in the City of San Bernardino. Task 5 - Proposed Scope of Work: GNA will provide full support to the City of San Bernardino during the construction bid, evaluation and award process. As shown in the example City of Redlands RFP package, GNA always requires that all potential bidders attend a pre -bid meeting at the City's site. Additionally, GNA requires that all bidders meet specific requirements and have experience in the areas of LNG/LCNG refueling station design and construction. Should the City request, GNA will prepare a pre - City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station P. 8 EXHIBIT Al GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC • qualification questionnaire to distribute to potential bidders before releasing the actual RFP for the construction phase of this project. GNA currently maintains a list of qualified vendors that will be provided notice of this project. Additionally, as required by CALTRANS and the City's public works bid process, a proper solicitation notice/advertisement will be placed within the San Bernardino area newspapers and other appropriate outlets. Following the release of the bid package for this project, GNA will coordinate and lead a mandatory pre -bid site meeting with all vendors wishing to provide proposals for this project. GNA anticipates that at least one, but perhaps two bid addendums will be issued for this project. GNA will field all questions submitted by potential bidders and prepare any and all bid addendums for this project. Additionally, GNA will assist in the development of the appropriate City staff reports required for and during this phase of this project. Following the submittal of bids for this project, GNA will thoroughly review all proposals received. GNA will complete a detailed review of each proposal and prepare comments to share during the one -day bid evaluation meeting in the City of San Bernardino. GNA also suggests that the City extend invitations to participate on the bid evaluation • team to representatives from SANBAG, other departments within the City of San Bernardino, CALTRANS, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. GNA has found that using this multi -agency approach will yield the best results for this project. To assist this team to review and evaluate the proposals received, GNA will develop and distribute to all members a bid evaluation and scoring sheet at the time the proposals are submitted. GNA anticipates that it will lead the discussion during the one -day bid evaluation meeting in order to solicit input from each of the team members. From this one -day bid evaluation meeting, a successful contractor will be selected. GNA will work with both parties to finalize the LNG/LCNG refueling station equipment and specifications for this project. GNA will also assist the City of San Bernardino to execute a contract with the selected vendor for this project. TASK 6: Subsequent to the award of the construction contract, and to conclusion of the construction period; the design consultant will review and approve shop drawings and test report submittals, equipment purchase orders, and observe start-up and commissioning of completed fueling facility to certify compliance with the design plans and specifications. Included in task, the design consultant will assist the City in change order request evaluation and resolution. Task 6 - Proposed Scope of Work: Throughout the entire construction period, GNA • will provide ongoing support to the City of San Bernardino. GNA will assist the City to City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station P. 9 GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC review and approve shop drawings and test report submittals, equipment purchase orders, • and observe start-up and commissioning of completed fueling facility to certify compliance with the design plans and specifications. If necessary, GNA will assist the City to evaluate and make a determination on all change orders requested for this project. It has been GNA's experience that the combination of a well -written RFP package (including performance criteria) and a thorough review of the proposal selected for this project will assist in verifying compliance with the design package and the development of a fueling station that will best serve the City's needs. This combination of factors should also minimize or eliminate change order requests for this project. For this task, GNA anticipates that it will perform the following specific activities: ➢ Review of preliminary design drawings and equipment specifications submitted by the contractor. ➢ Ongoing contact with the City of San Bernardino, permitting officials and the contractor selected for this phase of the project to assist in the facilitation of the permitting for this project. ➢ Bi-weekly meetings with the City of San Bernardino and the contractor to monitor project implementation and construction activities. ➢ Observance of key construction activities including the pouring of the LNG tank containment pad; the delivery and setting of the bulk LNG storage tank; the delivery of the LNG pump skid, dispensers, and CNG subsystem equipment; the system cool -down; the first LNG offload event; and the system start-up. • ➢ The final walk-through and inspection of the completed LNG/L.CNG refueling station to certify compliance with the bid package, final design plans and specifications, and performance criteria developed for this project. Once completed, GNA also looks forward to assisting the City of San Bernardino to coordinate a Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for this project. City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station P. 10 EXHIBIT Al GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC • 2. DESIGN CONCEPT Discussion of the initial station design concept, technical rationale for the initial proposed design and equipment selections, and the approaches proposed to address the requirements specified in this RFP GNA understand the sensitive nature of this project in relation to the City of San Bernardino's experiences with the Omnitrans CNG and LCNG projects and Omnitrans' neighbors. GNA assumes that this experience is one of the primary reasons why the City has indicated that its primary interest in the location of this facility is Site No. 2 (per the plan distributed at the March 4"' Bidder's Conference). While serious consideration has been given to Site No. 2, GNA believes that the area directly to the east of Site No. 1, in combination with our proposed design concept, will prove to be the more ideal location for this planned facility. Specific to Site No. 2, GNA has observed the following disadvantages: ➢ Locating an LNG storage tank in this location will displace the parking spaces on both sides of the existing chain -link fence. This ride -share facility and many employee parking spaces will have to be relocated to 'another location on -site. It is not known if the City has sufficient space to accommodate these displaced parking facilities at other locations in the fleet yard or fuelling facility. Also, • moving these facilities will require additional planning and work be performed, both of which will add unnecessary expense to the project budget. ➢ The presence of LNG and LCNG storage tanks and equipment in this location will require that the overhead power lines running along the west side of the City's yard be moved to another location, or buried underground. This will add unnecessary expense to the project budget. ➢ Code requires that the LNG storage tank be located a minimum of 50-feet from the large building located to the south of the existing City fueling facility. This will require that the building, or a portion of then building be demolished. GNA does not believe this to be an option for this project. Even if it were, such work would add unnecessary expense to a project with an already tight budget. ➢ As an alternative, to meet the 50-foot setback requirement, the LNG bulk storage tank and all associated process equipment can be located towards the middle of the of the east side of the City's fueling facility. However, GNA does not believe this to be an efficient design for this facility as it will likely create congestion and traffic flow problems among the typically large LNG and diesel powered vehicles trying to refuel on the same side of the City's facility. Further, locating the station equipment in this area may require that the access driveway between the City's fleet yard and the fueling station be eliminated. GNA does not believe this • is a desirable option for the City City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station P. 11 GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC ➢ The main electrical supply panel for this site is located to the north of the City's • fueling facility. Therefore, the positioning of the LNG/LCNG refueling station equipment at Site No. 2 will require an unnecessary amount of civil improvements (underground trenching, underground conduit, repaving, etc.) to connect the fueling station with the electrical panel. This added civil work will add unnecessary expense to the project budget. ➢ For many reasons, GNA believes that a wall -mounted LNG dispenser is the best option for this project (see below for additional information on the wall -mounted LNG dispenser). As such, locating the fuel station equipment at Site No. 2 will require that heavy-duty trucks and other LNG vehicle users access the southeast corner of the City's fueling facility. This will also be the case for the 10,000- gallon LNG transport truck delivering fuel to the station. This tanker -truck will need to park in this location for at least one- to two -hours to complete the fuel offloading process. GNA does not believe this to be an efficient design from a congestion and traffic flow perspective. Having heavy-duty LNG trucks in this location will interfere with the traffic flow resulting from other heavy-duty trucks existing the diesel fueling lanes located immediately to the west of Site No. 2. GNA has reviewed the minimum equipment specifications supplied by the City in Section 5.0 of the RFP and believes these to be an excellent starting point for the development of this project. Looking at the Estimated Annual Alternative Fuel Throughput figured provided in Section 3.0 of the RFP, GNA agrees that a 15,000-gallon • LNG bulk storage tank will provide sufficient storage capacity to meet the City's long- term fueling needs through year 5 of the City's fleet vehicle conversion plan. Typically, the "rule of thumb" in selecting a tank size for a project is to ensure that there is sufficient storage volume on site (when the tank is full) to provide three -days worth of fuel to the fleet being served. Using the data provided by the City in its RFP for this project, one can see that even in year five when the daily LNG demand is expected to be 1,627-gallons, a 15,000-gallon bulk tank will provide approximately 6.5 days worth or storage — more than two-times this "rule of thumb" minimum requirement. Working from this 15,000-gallon bulk storage capacity minimum equipment specification, GNA believes that its proposed initial station design concept will best address the requirements specified in the City's RFP and also provide the most cost- effective and efficient approach for this project. The key element of GNA's proposed station design concept is the use of a horizontal LNG tank as opposed to the more traditional vertical LNG tank installation. HORIZONTAL TANK DESIGN GNA proposes that the City utilize a horizontal LNG bulk tank design. Such a design will reduce the overall visual impact of the LNG station. The lower profile will help to reduce the potential concern raised by the residents located across the street from the • City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 12 EXHIBIT Al GLADSTEm, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC City's fueling station, as well as minimize the amount of "unwanted attention" the bulk • tank may attract from vandals. LNG bulk storage tanks having a capacity of 15,000-gallons are made in two sizes. One size is 10-feet (diameter) x 45-feet (height). The other tank, often called a "Fat Boy" is 12-feet (diameter) x 36-feet (height). The more common of the two tanks is the 45-foot tall tank. This is also the less expensive of the two options as it is considered the "standard." Because a "Fat Boy" tank is not a standard tank size, they are slightly more expensive. Common vertical tank installations in California utilize a concrete tank pad installed either at grade level, or approximately six -feet below grade. In either case, GNA believes that the City will be uncomfortable with a large vertical LNG tank being clearly visible at a minimum of 30-feet, or a maximum of 45-feet above grade. This anticipated concern is the principal reason why GNA is proposing a horizontal design. Such a design will virtually eliminate any concerns over the potential visual impact of the LNG tank, without sacrificing the efficiency or operational performance of the station. While vertical LNG tanks have been more common to date, several more recent LNG fueling station installations have decided to utilize a horizontal design. The two most recent examples of this design can be seen at the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus LNG/LCNG fueling station and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District LNG/LCNG fueling station. Both of these facilities were opened in May 2004. Other LNG and • LCNG fueling stations that have chosen this design include the two Omnitrans LCNG stations, as well as Waste Management's LNG station in Palmdale, California. Photos of each of these facilities are included at the end of this section. • Beyond simply a horizontal tank installation for this project, GNA proposes that the LNG tank pad and containment pit be installed six -feet below grade level. With a four -foot concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall installed above grade, only four -feet of the LNG bulk tank will be visible. Should the City desire, the CMU wall can easily be extended an additional four -feet in order to completely shield the LNG bulk from view. An example of this proposed design is included at the end of this section. While a submerged tank pad/containment pit this will add slightly to the cost of the project, it is not beyond the available budget for this project. GNA believes that the benefit this will bring to the project is worth the added investment. A four -foot CMU wall will be required for this project regardless of whether the tank pad/containment pit is located at grade of below grade. While the added cost of extending the CMU wall an additional four -feet is relatively inexpensive, the City may wish to include this as an optional bid item with the construction RFP. This way, if the budget will allow, it can be added. If the budget will not allow for this addition, the facility can still be constructed to meet the City's operational and fueling needs. City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 13 GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC LOCATION OF THE LNG/LCNG FUELING STATION EQUIPMENT GNA proposes that the LNG bulk storage tank and associated LNG/LCNG equipment be • located to the north of the City's existing fueling facility, in the area directly to the east of Site No. 1. GNA believes that this location for the natural gas refueling equipment is ideal for a variety of reasons when compared to other potential locations at the site. While this location will require that the existing hazardous materials storage facility be relocated to another location, the cost of this will be far less than the potential added costs that would result by locating the fueling station equipment elsewhere on the site. Further, as the City has indicated in its response to question number 17 in the March 121h Clarification document, this storage building will be relocated by the City and will not be a part of GNA's scope of work. Certainly this will assist to keep the overall cost of this project down in order that funding can be spent where it is most needed — to purchase and install the LNG/LCNG refueling station equipment. GNA believes that the area directly to the east of Site No. 1, combined with its proposed horizontal tank design concept, will provide a facility that maximizes efficiency and cost- effectiveness for the City, while minimizing the potential for concern and opposition to this project from nearby residents. A summary of the advantages of this proposed location follows: ➢ This location is the closest to the existing main electrical panel serving the City's site. This will minimize the required civil work, and thus costs required to pull new power to the new LNG/LCNG refueling station control panel. ➢ This location is able to meet the 50-foot setbacks to property lines and buildings • as required by code without significant interruption or modifications to the existing site and buildings and structures within the site. ➢ This location is located nearest to the main utility gas line located in Pershing Ave. In the event that a boil -off recovery system is found to have merit and be within the budget for this project, this will minimize the civil costs required for this connection. ➢ The wall -mounted LNG dispenser, as well as the LNG offloading panel for the bulk storage tank will be located in the northeast corner of the City's fueling facility. This will minimize congestion and any disruption to the existing traffic pattern at the site as it will separate heavy-duty diesel trucks fueling at the diesel islands from both LNG trucks refueling and from the LNG tanker -truck delivering fuel to the station. GNA also believes that locating the LNG offloading panel in this location will maximize maneuverability for the LNG tanker truck. This is a critical factor when selected a site location for an LNG fuel station as NFPA code requirements will not allow LNG tanker trucks to back-up when exiting a site. ➢ This is the closest location to the City's existing unleaded fueling lanes/canopy structure — the proposed location for the dual -hose CNG dispenser for this project. • City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 14 EXHIBIT Al GLADSToN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC . This will require the least amount of civil work (trenching, piping, new concrete, etc.) be completed in order to locate this dispenser at the existing islands. ➢ There are no overhead power lines in this area, therefore, there will not be any issue in locating the LNG storage tank and associated equipment at this location. ➢ The fuel station vent stack can be located at the far end of containment structure — away from the location of nearby residential homes. Except during the Santa Anas, GNA believes that the prevailing winds in the area blow from west to east — away from the location of the nearby residential homes. While an extremely minor design factor in most LNG fueling station, GNA believes that this location of the vent system at this facility is politically important for this project. WALL MOUNTED LNG DISPENSER GNA believes that a wall -mounted LNG dispenser will provide the most cost-effective approach for the City of San Bernardino in developing this station. This wall -mounted LNG dispenser will be tied into a new card reader to be installed at this location. This design will allow for a dedicated fueling area for LNG vehicles. This will help to maintain good traffic flow at the site as the LNG vehicles will be separated from the heavy-duty diesel vehicles fueling on the other side of the City's fueling facility. As the City of San Bernardino's fleet of LNG vehicles grows over time, a second wall mounted LNG dispenser can be added further to the west, or, a remote island mounted dispenser • can be added in front of the initial wall -mounted unit. REMOTELY LOCATED CNG DISPENSER GNA believes that most cost-effective location for the installation of the new CNG dispenser for this project will be at the east end of the existing unleaded gasoline fueling island, in a location that is not under the existing canopy structure. The location of this CNG dispenser will help to facilitate the traffic flow of the site as it will be removed from traffic and vehicles fueling at the gasoline dispensers. The CNG dispenser will be located on its own raised concrete island. The entire island will be protected by 6-inch concrete filled bollards. The CNG dispenser will be tied into the existing card reader located at this fueling island. While the City has stated its interest in having the CNG located underneath the existing canopy structure, GNA believes the following issues will make such a location cost - prohibitive. ➢ This will require that the existing unclassified lighting and electrical be replaced with new properly classified electrical fixtures. This will add unnecessary cost to this project. ➢ There is simply not sufficient room between the existing gasoline dispensers and • card reader. Locating the CNG dispenser underneath the canopy will require that City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 15 GLADSTEIN, NEANDROSS & ASSOCIATES LLC one of the gasoline dispensers be relocated. Not only will this be expensive, but it . potentially could initiate a host of other inspection and compliance issues related to the City's existing gasoline and diesel refueling equipment. This potential "Pandora's Box" is one that GNA would rather not open. At the end of this section, GNA has included several different example drawings to demonstrate to the City the proposed design concept. These drawings include: ➢ The site plan provided by the City with an overlay of the proposed new LNG/LCNG refueling station equipment. ➢ A scaled drawing and elevation of the proposed horizontal LNG tank and containment pit installation. ➢ "Cartoon -drawings" showing the proposed new LNG/LCNG fueling station equipment, a rendering comparing the proposed horizontal design and a vertical installation (which is not being recommended). ➢ A plan and elevation drawing of the recently construction Los Angeles County Sanitation District LNG/LCNG refueling station — a similar installation to the design being proposed by GNA. (Please note: NexGen has provided these drawings are for example purposes only and is in no way associated with the project team submitting this proposal.) GNA believes that these examples and demonstrations of the proposed design concept for this project will provide an excellent indication of the facility GNA believes will work best for the City of San Bernardino in terms of cost, efficiency and ease of development. • L J City of San Bernardino LNG/LCNG Fuel Station p. 16 EXHIBIT Al EXHIBIT Al C1 Cl L�L /r V /LL V Z w D LL 0 Z a m w m a LL 0 V 0 Z H N X w �LU Qw J N w Q 2 S � w ZO Q (0 w U) 0 m 0 z rah z wZ 0 z QZ ZF DY g z �Er UO Z_ z0 W Z 0 Zw Zz LL H S H W c 2 W L Q F - D) W ULL LULL X> w0 Xzw \ WCO w0a V1,o ;.too k' :n ", In y x 4, ry \ N J 4S d I1 Y and JNIHSHV3d EXHIBIT Al 0 J_ V Q LL O z J W D LL O z 0 a� a z m W m z V,,Q^/ O Al a z J W D LL W x 0 z 0 z J C LLI CO O IL w a Z ¢w 0 w Z.yw Cry z U OJ UYa wm 0z aka CD �¢ (7JQZ Qm O ?z O x¢ ma owHLL, oo wz Jw O UOC 'r0¢O¢ U?

Introduction The City of San Bernardino, California (City), seeks the services of a qualified consultant to provide a design for the East Valley Regional LNG/LCNG Fueling Facility, its planned public access liquefied natural gas and compressed (from liquefied) natural gas (LNG/LONG) fueling station site. The design shall include complete system and site drawings and equipment specifications for the LNG/LCNG fueling station and the associated civil and structural improvements (i.e. the drawing package including all necessary contract specifications and/or drawings as needed). Upon completion of the design package, it will be used to solicit a design consultant to carry out the construction phase of the project. The successful bidder will also assist with the subsequent construction contractor selection process and project management for the construction phase of this LNG/LCNG fueling station project. Responders are cautioned that the person or agency that performs the design services for which this RFP is issued may be precluded from receiving a contract to construct the facility that they have designed. (See e.g., 77 opinions of California Attorney General. pg. 112, dated May 13, 1994, #94-207.) The planned LNG/LCNG fueling station will be located at the intersection of Pershing and Redick Streets on the west side of the Municipal Service Yard in San Bernardino. In it's first year of operation, this station will fuel approximately 73 natural gas vehicles, ranging from light - duty vehicles to heavy-duty refuse trucks. These vehicles will be primarily City -owned vehicles. By 2007, the City anticipates that a total of 391 natural gas vehicles will be fueling at this facility. Additional vehicles from both public and private fleets are also expected to use this facility. The initial committed throughput for the proposed LNG/LCNG fueling station is estimated at 215,000 OR 120,000 LNG gallons in the first year of operation, increasing to 1.07 million OR 600,000 LNG gallons in the fifth year of operation. It is expected that additional CNG and LNG users will utilize the fueling station; however, the resulting volume of fuel throughput cannot be determined at this time. San Bernardino is located in a strategic location along one of the nation's busiest heavy-duty truck corridors, thus, the City understands the dire need for clean fuel infrastructure to be established to support alternative -fuel trucks traveling along the Interstate-215 and Interstate-10 Corridors. Additionally, the City believes this project is important to San Bernardino in its continuing role as a major transportation hub in the western United States. For these reasons, in addition to providing the fueling necessary for its own fleet of natural gas vehicles, the City wishes to proceed with the construction of an LNG/LCNG fueling station. 2. Existing Site Conditions The property on which the LNG/LCNG station will be installed is part of the City of San Bernardino's Municipal Service Yard, located at the intersection of Pershing and Redick Streets, approximately one block east of Arrowhead Avenue. The proposed location is located within three miles of Interstate 215 and five miles of Interstate-10. The proposed site is located on the west side of the Municipal Services Yard and will be constructed on the north side of the existing ' Throughout this RFP, the terms "Bidder," "Proposer," and "design consultant" are used interchangeably. Page 1 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 gasoline and diesel fueling station. Equipment will be located in an area of approximately 100 feet by 150 feet along the existing fence line north of the fueling area. Engineering drawings showing the layout of the current fuel islands are included in this package. In order to gain a full understanding of the existing site conditions potential bidders must attend the Mandatory Proposer's Conference and site tour on March 4, 2004. (See Section 9 for additional information). Graphic representations of the site will be provided at this Proposer's Conference. 3. Description of the Fleets to be Served The primary fleet user will be the City of San Bernardino, with some supplemental use by the County of San Bernardino, Omnitrans, Cal -Trans, San Bernardino Unified School District, and Colton School District. The facility would service light- to heavy-duty vehicles within the respective fleets, including sedans, pick-up trucks, dump trucks, refuse collection vehicles, street sweepers and other types of on- and off -road equipment.

Scope of Work Requested The scope of work for this project includes the design for the City of San Bernardino's proposed LNG/LCNG fueling station. In their proposals, proposers are expected to expand, and provide more complete details on each Task and sub -Task that is listed below. Information provided should be specific enough for evaluation and scoring purposes, and for inclusion in a binding contract. While proposals should thoroughly respond to each of the elements presented in this RFP, the successful design consultant will be clear and concise in their responses. Detailed and Page 3 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 lengthy responses that go beyond a simple and explicit reply to the REP are strongl discouraged and will only serve to detract from the overall attractiveness of the proposal. Additionally, "cut and paste" proposals or documents from other similar projects are also stronelp discouraged. If the design consultant wishes to include such examples (training manuals, health and safety plans, operations manuals, etc.), they should be included only as an Appendix or Attachment and not within the main body of the proposal. The design consultant selected to design the City of San Bernardino's proposed LNG/LCNG fueling station will be required to complete the following tasks: TASK 1: Analyze the site selected by the City of San Bernardino for its planned LNG/LCNG fueling station (there are no alternative sites). Work with City of San Bernardino staff to identify the best location of the LNG/LCNG fueling station infrastructure on the site and obtain approval prior to proceeding to preliminary engineering. TASK 2: Perform the preliminary engineering scope, including creation of site plan detailing new LNG/LCNG fueling station, initial specifications of LNG/LCNG fueling station infrastructure, and environmental documentation, to obtain City of San Bernardino, CALTRANS, and governing body authorization to proceed with final design and creation of construction documentation. Ascertain merits of inclusion of a recovery system in the design to deliver boil -off post meter to the local natural gas grid TASK 3: Develop and complete final design and Bid Package. This task includes the creation of detailed site drawings in a DWG format, equipment specifications, general and technical construction specifications, construction schedule timeline, construction cost estimates, and the contract documentation for the entire fueling station development project.2 The bid package shall include all plans and specifications relating to the on- and off -site improvements, relocation of any existing permanent facilities, retro-fit of LNG/LCNG dispensers in the existing gasoline and diesel fueling islands, card lock system, future system expansion, and such as required for governing body permitting. A complete set of the site drawings shall also be delivered to the City in an electronic DWG format. TASK 4: It is anticipated that a Conditional Use Permit or Development Permit shall be required as part of this project, to be issued through the City's Development Services Department. Prepare appropriate traffic and environmental studies necessary to support the project through the City's Design and Environmental Review process as set forth by the City of San Bernardino's Development Services Department, and to prepare all applications and staff reports associated with this process. Task 4a: If unable to perform within firm, obtain the services of an environmental consultant, as a sub -consultant, to perform and prepare any z The "entire fueling station development project" includes all necessary civil improvements (paving, landscaping, curbing, etc.) and the complete LNG/LCNG fueling station. The City shall make available to the successful design consultant the complete set of engineering drawings of the existing fueling facility. Page 4 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 environmental studies, documents, and reports necessary to satisfy project governing body or CEQA/NEPA requirements. TASK 5: Support the City of San Bernardino during the construction bid process and assist in bid evaluation and construction contractor selection including but not limited to the preparation of bid prequalification requirements, conducting pre -bid conferences, preparing staff reports, creating bid addenda in response to written questions, etc. This task will require the design consultant to thoroughly review all bids received. The design consultant will be expected to attend and provide detailed comments and insight into each of the bids received during a one -day Bid Evaluation Meeting in the City of San Bernardino. TASK 6: Subsequent to the award of the construction contract, and to conclusion of the construction period; the design consultant will review and approve shop drawings and test report submittals, equipment purchase orders, and observe start-up and commissioning of completed fueling facility to certify compliance with the design plans and specifications. Included in task, the design consultant will assist the City in change order request evaluation and resolution. 5. Minimum Equipment Specifications While the City seeks a qualified company to design its planned LNG/LCNG fueling station, some preliminary research into LNG and LNG/LCNG fueling station technologies has already been completed. From the City's minimal experiences, it requests that the station design incorporate the following elements: 5.1 Applicable Codes and Standards The City's LNG/LCNG fueling station design shall conform to all applicable codes and standards. It shall be the design consultant's responsibility to determine all applicable code and standard requirements and to ensure conformance. The following are examples of some of the applicable codes and standards: 1. California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Chapter 4, Subchapter 1, Unified Pressure Vessel Safety Orders 2. California Code of Regulations, Title 24, (California Building Code) Part 2, Volume 2 (provisions for structural engineering design) 3. NFPA 57, Liquefied Natural Gas Vehicular Fuel Systems Code 4. NFPA 59A, Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) 5. NFPA 52, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicular Fuel Systems Code 6. NFPA 70, National Electrical Code 7. ASME, SECTION 8, Pressure Vessels Note that these codes incorporate, by reference, portions of numerous other design and building codes, which are not listed here. In the above list, and for all applicable codes and standards, the most recent editions of the codes and standards shall apply. Page 5 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 The design consultant shall be familiar with the changes that are currently being finalized for California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Chapter 4, Subchapter 1. The Department seeks an LNG/LCNG station design that will comply with the amended Title 8 regulation when the regulation that was scheduled for adoption in early 2002. The design consultant shall be familiar with the proposed Title 8 amendments, in order to incorporate pending amendments into the station design, to the extent that such a design does not conflict with applicable current codes. Each proposal shall include a description of these compliance issues detailing the upgrades included in the project proposal (to meet draft Title 8 amendments) and discuss potential remaining issues. In addition to complying with all applicable codes and standards, the design consultant shall use its best judgment to design an LNG/LCNG station that is safe, reliable, convenient to use, incorporates current technologies, and is compliant with all code, safety and performance requirements. 5.2 LNG Bulk Storage Tank The station's LNG bulk storage tank, associated equipment and containment area plans must be designed so as to meet the most current requirements of California Code of Regulations Title 8 and the NFPA. Table 2 summarizes the minimum LNG bulk tank design requirements. The successful design consultant may propose tank design requirements different than what is presented in Table 2, but also must present strong and convincing evidence to the City as to why such changes should be incorporated into the station design. Table 2. Station Bulk LNG Tank Specifications 15,000 gallons of actual (usable) LNG capacity, plus ullage volume as Minimum Capacity required by applicable codes. Standard double -wall, vacuum -insulated construction with inner shell Vessel Type being a pressure vessel and outer jacket being capable of supporting the weight of the full vessel. California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Division 1, Chapter 4, Pressure Vessel Design Code Subchapter 1, Article 2, §455, Design and Construction of CNG and LNG Tanks. NFPA 59A, and California Code of Regulations, Title 24, California Structural Design Code Building Code), Part 2, Volume 2 Provisions for Structural Engineering Design). Normal Evaporation Rate Not more than 0.5% per day. Overfill Protection Audible and visual alarm indicator at 90% of tank volume. The LNG bulk storage tank and associated equipment will be secured on footings designed to meet applicable building codes and seismic design requirements. Page 6 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 5.3 LCNG Capability The City requires that this station have the ability to fuel CNG vehicles from pressurized, vaporized, and odorized LNG (i.e., LCNG). The design consultant will be required to design an LCNG system that can be conveniently upgraded to a higher capacity in the future. The particular LCNG high-pressure pump capacity, CNG compressor size, vapor recovery, odorization system, CNG storage capacity and cascading/sequencing strategy will be determined by the design consultant. The City requests a system that will be provide convenient and reliable operation, full -fill capability, low cost, and ease of future upgrading when CNG vehicle fueling requirements increase. The City's existing municipal fleet will require a 6 to 8-minute fueling window for each vehicle. Apart from the City's compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGVs) that will utilize this station, other, outside public users will also rely on this facility for travel in, around and through the City of San Bernardino. The station therefore will be required to have the capability to fuel on - demand a wide range of CNGV types at any time during the day. The station will be accessible to the customers 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Access to the station will be controlled through a card lock system. The card lock system to be used will be determined in conjunction with the City of San Bernardino during the design phase. 6. Consultant's Responsibilities The successful design consultant will be responsible for all design elements of the City of San Bernardino's LNG/LCNG Fueling Station Development Project. The successful design consultant will be responsible for providing the drawing package, and the detailed set of specifications for the fueling station and civil improvements required for this project. The design consultant will submit to the City of San Bernardino a complete construction RFP bid package to be used to solicit proposals from construction contractors to construct the LNG/LCNG fueling facility and associated site improvements. Upon receipt of bids responding to the invitation to bid for construction of the facility (to be developed as a result of this Design RFP), the design consultant will be required to assist the City of San Bernardino with construction contractor selection. Throughout the construction phase of the project, the design consultant may be required to assist in construction management responsibilities. These responsibilities are outlined in Section 4.0, Task 5. Proposers are cautioned that the person or agency which performs the design services for which this Design Phase RFP is issued may be precluded from receiving a contract to construct the facility which they have designed. (See e.g., 77 opinions of California Attorney General. pg. 112, dated May 13, 1994, #94-207.) Proposers should satisfy themselves that they have sufficient information from this document, or through communication with City of San Bernardino prior to submitting their proposal. The City will rely on the expertise of the selected design consultant to properly design the fueling station and also provide overall civil engineering throughout the design phase. These responsibilities are described in more detail in the following sections. Page 7of14 EXHIBIT A2 6.1 Design The design consultant shall design a ready -to -operate LNG/LCNG fueling station and the associated civil improvements required at the site. For the purpose of this document, design is defined as the delivery of the following to the City of San Bernardino: • Complete construction plans, technical drawings and specifications of this fueling station development project (as defined in footnote 2 to include all necessary civil improvements and the LNG/LCNG fueling station). Drawings shall be prepared and delivered in a DWG format. In the Proposers response to this RFP, a discussion of the number and kinds of drawings that will be prepared is required. • A complete, ready to be released REP package for the construction phase of this project. • Preparation of "as -built" construction drawings representing any field revisions approved and implemented during the construction process. All drawings shall require the stamp and signature of a Structural, Mechanical or Civil Engineer currently registered with the state of California. A copy of the Registered Engineer's license shall be submitted with the resume of the key personnel. 6.2 Proposal Evaluation and Support Upon receipt of bids for the construction phase of this project, the successful design consultant will be required to provide technical support to the City of San Bernardino in determining which bids are most responsive to the invitation to bid. The design consultant will be required to carefully review each of the bids received and provide comments, suggestions and input at the scheduled Bid Evaluation Meeting in the City of San Bernardino. The expertise of the design consultant will play a critical role in the selection of a construction contractor to supply the station equipment and complete the construction of this proposed project. 7.

Please note that the City will not pay or compensate for travel time, courier services, mileage or reimbursement for travel to the City of San Bernardino to attend meetings or conduct the activities necessary to complete the tasks required to be performed as part of the consultant services. 8.4 Statement of Qualifications, References and Personnel Resumes Each proposal must include a listing of the LNG and LNG/LCNG fueling station design projects the Proposer has been involved with during the last 5 years (with emphasis on California installations), together with a list of at least three (3) references including the following contact information: name, position, telephone number and e-mail address. All references will be thoroughly checked. The firm selected for the design of this facility must have demonstrated expertise and experience in the design of LNG, LCNG and CNG Fueling stations. In addition, engineering experience and expertise in the design of on- and off -site improvements necessary in support of the alternative fueling facility shall also be demonstrated. Proposals must identify the entire project organizational team, including key company and sub - design consultant personnel. This listing shall include name, address, phone, fax, and email information, and a summary description of the responsibilities of each organization and key personnel. Resumes for each organization and key personnel must be provided. Please be advised that the substitution of key personnel or sub -design consultants after award of contract will require prior written approval by the City. If a subdesign consultant has committed to working on the project, include in the proposal a letter from the subdesign consultant(s), their name, address, their hourly or daily rate of compensation and the number of hours or days their services will be utilized. If a subdesign Page 11 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 consultant has not been identified, provide an estimate of their rates of compensation and number of hours or days the subdesign consultant's services will be utilized. The City of San Bernardino strongly encourages the use of businesses located within the City of San Bernardino whenever appropriate. Proposers are therefore strongly encouraged, if successful, to propose the establishment of a local, staffed office within the City of San Bernardino, and to identify and team with sub -design consultants located in the City of San Bernardino. All proposals become the property of the City of San Bernardino upon submission. The City intends to keep all proposals confidential prior to contract award. Upon contract award, all proposals are subject to applicable public information laws. 8.5 Trade Secrets Proposer shall designate as "Trade Secret" that specific information contained within the proposal which constitutes a trade secret, as the term is defined in the California Government Code Section 6254.7(d). All proposals shall remain confidential until the City of San Bernardino Director of Public Services makes a recommendation to the Mayor/City Council. Once the recommendation is made, all proposals shall be available for public inspection except for that information previously designated by the Proposer to be a "Trade Secret." Proposer also shall defend and indemnify the City in any action alleging the City, the Director of Public Services, or the City's agents violated the California Public Records Act, California Government Code Section 6250 et seq., with regards to public inspection of Proposer's proposal and all information included in Proposer's Proposal designated as a "Trade Secret." Proposers are cautioned that proposals having the words "Confidential," "Proprietary," "Trade Secret," or other such phrases on every page may be rejected. Proposers must be sure to carefully select which portions of their proposals can appropriately be labeled as a "Trade Secret. " Cost information and the budget proposal submitted will not be considered "Confidential," "Proprietary," or a "Trade Secret." 8.6 Rejection Of Proposals The City reserves the right to reschedule Proposer's Conferences, for any reason, and to reject any or all Proposals and to waive any informality or irregularity in the Proposals without liability for any loss or damage whatsoever. The City may reject proposals if they show any alteration of form, additions not called for, conditional Proposals, incomplete Proposals, erasures, or irregularities of any kind. The City reserves the right to request submission of a "Best and Final Offer" from Proposers. Page 12 of 14 EXHIBIT A2 8.7 Withdrawal Or Revision Of Proposals Prior To Due Date A Proposer may withdraw or revise (by withdrawal of one Proposal and submission of another) a Proposal, provided that the Proposer's request for withdrawal is received by the City in writing before the due date and time specified for submission of Proposals. Postmark is not accepted. The Proposer or a duly authorized representative shall execute the request for withdrawal. Proposals that have been withdrawn or received after the time specified for submission of Proposals shall be returned to the Proposers unopened. 9. Proposed Schedule Keeping in mind the City's desire to have a complete and fully functioning LNG/LCNG fueling station by July 2006, it is understood this project must move forward in an expedited manner. It is expected that accomplishment of the scope of work set forth herein by the successful design consultant must be completed by March 2005. Each proposal must therefore include a schedule of delivery for the following major milestones: • Submittal of draft plans, specifications and bid package to the City. (Allow 2 weeks for review and comment by the City of San Bernardino 3) • Submittal of second draft plans, specifications and bid package to the City of San Bernardino. (Allow 1 week for approval of bid submittal) • Preparation of bid package (with drawings, specifications and cost estimate) for issuance to potential bidders for the construction phase of this project. The following is the schedule of the proposed dates and actions relating to the schedule for award of this project: ACTION DATE Council Authorizes Release of RFP March 18, 2002 Release of Design RFP February 4, 2004 Mandatory Bidder's Conference March 4, 2004 Questions due to City March 11, 2004 Responses to questions due back to Proposers March 15, 2004 Proposals Due to City March 25, 2004 Agenda Deadline for 5/3/04 Council Mtg. April 12, 2004 Council Awards Contract to Design Firm May 3, 2004 3 If the City deems the revised Design/Drawing Package Report and/or RFP incomplete, the design consultant will be required to make further edits/changes until the document is deemed complete by the City. Only at this point will the design consultant be allowed to progress to the next step and issue the RFP for the construction phase of this project.

Proposers should indicate their delivery schedule in terms of weeks after this project start date. In order to expedite the contract execution process, Proposers should review the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) included at the back of this RFP. Although this PSA is provided as an example only, the City of San Bernardino anticipates that a very similar document will be used once a winning proposal is selected. If Proposers believe that they would be unable to sign a similar agreement to this PSA, the Proposer MUST make this clear in their proposal. The Proposer should then also include suggested revisions or other language that it would feel more comfortable with. These revisions, however, will not be considered to be a part of the proposal or in any way binding to the City of San Bernardino. 10. Proposal Evaluation Procedure and Scoring Criteria 10.1 Evaluation Procedure To evaluate the proposals received, an Evaluation Committee may be assembled with representatives from, but not limited to, the following agencies: City of San Bernardino, CALTRANS, San Bernardino Associated Governments, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Each member of the Evaluation Committee will be provided at least one (1) copy of all of the proposals received. Proposals will first be reviewed for completeness. Proposals that are deemed incomplete or non -responsive to RFP requirements may be rejected without further evaluation. The City of San Bernardino reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and to waive any minor irregularities in such proposals. The Evaluation Committee members will then evaluate the remaining proposals according to the criteria and numerical weightings set forth below. After receipt of proposals, the Evaluation Committee will convene to discuss the proposals and make recommendations to the City. The City will make the final selection of the design consultant and will then negotiate a contract with the successful proposer. 10.2 Scoring Criteria Points Possible Reasonable effort to engage DBE sub -consultant. 5 Responsiveness to the RFP and overall clarity of the proposal. 20 Qualification and previous experience of the Proposer and proposed 35 subdesign consultants, including experience in similar projects with other government entities.

GNA met with City of San Bernardino's representatives on August 24, 2004 to review the proposed scope of work and project budget to identify potential cost savings. At the request of City of San Bernardino, GNA has reviewed our proposal in order to provide this explanation for tasks where hours could be reduced, and additional savings that could be realized should the City of San Bernardino perform the work. Task 1: Preliminary Site Design GNA understands that City of San Bernardino concurs with the site plan suggested in our ( proposal. The budget for Task 1 has been reduced $2,565 under the following ` assumptions: ➢ City will provide an as -built site plan in a DWG file format to which the 1�0�' conceptual fueling station design will be inserted. This will eliminate the need to have a civil engineering firm to provide a site survey. ➢ Significant coordination lie. meetings, more than two sets of revisions, expansive narrative) with City staff will not be necessary in order to obtain approval. ➢ Coordination with appropriate agencies to be lead by City of San Bernardino. There are no additional tasks identified for which the City can complete the work and thereby reduce the labor required by GNA's team. Task 2: Environmental Review & Clearance The budget for Task 2 entails a significant amount of effort for coordinating the environmental review process. The budget for Task 2 has been reduced $2,475 under the following assumptions: ➢ City of San Bernardino and SANBAG have already expended effort to meet with Caltrans and begin developing the framework of communication necessary for a successful review and approval process. ➢ City of San Bernardino will be responsible for all contractual items with Caltrans, including Supplement to Master Agreement. 3015 Main Strew, 5u11e 300 :1 Santa Monica. California 90405 * Ph: 310.314.1034 Fas: 310.314.9196 ar www.gladsleln.org a EXHIBIT B Revised Proposal to Design LNG/L.CNG Fueling Station Page 2 In addition, the budget can be reduced S8,700 should the City opt for the following: Scope of boil -off gas study shall be reduced to encompass the two most promising scenarios. From discussions with City of San Bernardino, GNA believes that it would suffice for the boil -off gas study to only cover returning gas to the pipeline or using it in on -site gas -fired equipment. ➢ City of San Bernardino shall take the lead on coordination of Caltrans' review and approval of the joint Environmental Assessment/Initials study prepared by GNA. GNA will retain responsibility for addressing revisions and/or requests for additional information as requested by Caltrans, but the City will be responsible for the continuous contact anticipated for the project to move forward within the desired timeframe. Task 3: Bid Package As discussed with City of San Bernardino during the August 24°i meeting, the budget for developing the bid package is already extremely lean. While the budget for Task 3 has been reduced $200, City of San Bernardino can decrease the contract by an additional $1,125 if they assume responsibility for integrating the performance specifications developed by GNA into the City's standard bid package. Task 4: Conditional Use Permit The initial bid made very general assumptions about the level of effort required for the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or Development Permit. The budget for Task 4 has been reduced $2,810 under the following assumptions: ➢ The majority of the information and documentation required will be prepared under Tasks 1-3. City staff will utilize in-house resources and staff to assure smooth coordination with Community Development Department and prepare all non -technical portions of staff reports. ➢ Composition of GNA staff hours have been altered to reflect attdal requirements per materials received from Community Development Department. In addition,.the budget can be reduced $3,750 should the City opt for the following: ➢ City to prepare radius map, ownership list and mailing labels as required by City of San Bernardino Development Services Department. Task 5: Bid Evaluation & Selection As with Task 3, the budget for bid evaluation and selection has little room for negotiation. The budget for Task 3 has been reduced $325, and there are no additional tasks have been identified for which the City can complete the work and thereby reduce the labor required by GNA's team. Task 6: Construction Phase Based on conversations with City of San Bernardino, GNA anticipates that the project can be successfully implemented with less hands-on construction management by GNA's EXHIBIT B Revised Proposal to Design LNG/LCNG Fueling Station Page 3 team. The budget for Task 6 has thus been reduced $8,617 under the following assumptions: ➢ GNA will only participate in meetings during key construction activities and not bi-weekly construction meetings as defined in our proposal. ➢ City staff will be responsible for the detailed review of the Civil plans submitted for this project. There are no additional tasks identified for which the City can complete the work and thereby reduce the labor required by GNA's team. Pursuant to your request, attached is a revised cost proposal reflecting the assumptions made above. The total cost reduction is $18,181 for a revised total project cost of $160,711. Furthermore, an additional S13,575 in labor has been identified as potential work to be performed by the City of San Bernardino. Should each of the tasks be accepted by the City, the total project cost would be $146,186. Should you have any questions regarding the attached information, or should you desire additional information or documentation from GNA, please do not hesitate to contact me at (310) 314-1934 exL 2.
