CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO — REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution authorizing the execution of an Amendment and increase to Contract
Purchase Order #08-070, with three single year renewal options, to Applied LNG
Technologies pursuant to Section 3.04.010 B-3 of the Municipal Code for the purchase
of LNG fuel.
Background:
Applied LNG Technologies is the company that supplied the first load of fuel to our new
LNG station (Station). Since Applied LNG Technologies is most familiar with our
Station, staff issued an interim contract purchase order in the amount of $24,900 to
purchase LNG fuel until staff could seek bids for a long-term contract. Unfortunately, it
took longer than anticipated to resolve the minor technical issues associated with the
construction and commissioning of the Station, and on February 4, 2008 resolution
#2008-48 was approved by the Mayor and Common Council increasing the purchase
order by $75,000.
The most critical issue to resolve was the activation of the Station credit card reader. A
long-term fuel supply contract was not possible until this system is fully operational.
Staff has worked closely with the City's bank (Wells Fargo) and has resolved this issue.
There are only two available vendors able to supply LNG fuel, Fleet staff has been in
contact with both vendors and requested quotes for a long term contract for LNG fuel
supply and station maintenance, the results are as follows:
Applied LNG Technologies is proposing to charge $1.29 per gallon plus freight. The
proposed preventive maintenance contract is $750.00 per month, which is $9,000 per
year. This covers monthly inspections and all preventive maintenance required by the
station manufacturer. Field service labor for repairs is $100 per hour plus parts costs,
so the City would only pay for each repair throughout the year. (see attached contract/
maintenance agreement attachment 2). The estimated annual station maintenance cost
is $40,000.
Clean Energy is proposing to charge $1.32 per gallon plus a diesel surcharge for
delivery. Their preventive maintenance proposal is an all-inclusive price based on a
$0.15 per gallon of LNG fuel pumped. The City's fleet currently uses approximately
1200 gallons per day (1200 x 0.15) = $180 per day. Fuel usage is expected to double
to 2400 gallons per day when sixteen (16) new LNG vehicles arrive by the end of the
fiscal year. This will raise the daily maintenance cost to $360 per day. IWM operations
run six (6) days a week, so we can expect to pay around $9,000 per month. This cost
would rise as more fuel is pumped from the station.
Fuel costs proposed by Applied LNG and Clean Energy are similar. However, the great
disparity between their proposed maintenance costs leads staff to recommend a multi-
year contract award to Applied LNG Technologies for LNG fuel supply beginning in FY
07/08 and station maintenance beginning in October of FY 08/09 when the warranty
period is completed. In order to allow the City vehicles and the public to fuel without
interruption at our Station, staff is seeking approval of an amendment that includes
three (3) single year renewal options and an increase to the purchase order amount by
an additional $150,100 for a total of$250,000 for the remainder of FY 07/08.
Financial Impact:
Funds for this purchase are available in the FY 07-08 Account No. 635-341-5113,
Motor Fuel & Lubricants.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

Mr. Johnson,
Applied LNG Technologies is pleased to offer you this proposal. We look
forward to offering you a complete LNG service. One of the ways we intend to do this is
to work with the City to open your fueling station to the general public. This new LNG
station would provide an environmentally friendly fuel to the surrounding business
community while creating a new source of revenue to the City.
In order to implement this plan Applied LNG Technologies will provide the
following:
1. Provide fuel grade LNG for the term of the agreement
2. Assist in the completion of federal tax application(IRS form 637) to process tax
credits. And to assist on a monthly basis of providing data to file for your tax
credits.
3. Provide a Cooperative Purchase Agreement which bundles the LNG supply to the
City of San Bernardino (see attached LNG contract)
• LNG pricing quote ((SoCal/ 12.104) x 1.2) + 0.45 plus freight.
4. We will also provide maintenance for your station when your warranty expires in 12
months. We will negotiate as this date gets closer. See attached maintenance contract.
We look forward to working with you and the City on this project. Again, thank you for
the opportunity.

Mr. Johnson,
Applied LNG Technologies is pleased to offer you this proposal. We look
for-,vard to offering you a complete LNG service. One of the ways we intend to do this is
to work with the City to open your fueling station to the general public. This new LNG
station would provide an environmentally friendly fuel to the surrounding business
community while creating a new source of revenue to the City.
In order to implement this plan Applied LNG Technologies will provide the
following:
1. Provide fuel grade LNG for the term of the agreement
2. Assist in the completion of federal tax application (IRS form 637) to process tax
credits. And to assist on a monthly basis of providing data to file for your tax
credits.
3. Provide a Cooperative Purchase Agreement which bundles the LNG supply to the
City of San Bernardino (see attached LNG contract)
• LNG pricing quote ((SoCal/ 12.104) x 1.2) + 0.45 plus freight.
4. We will also provide maintenance for your station when your warranty expires in 12
months. We will negotiate as this date gets closer. See attached maintenance contract.
We look forward to working with you and the City on this project.Again, thank you for
the opportunity.

300 North D Street Via email&facsimile
San Bernardino, CA 92418
Re: Agenda Item 39,Purchase of LNG Fuel
Dear Mr. Wilson:
Clean Energy has reviewed Agenda Item 39,the proposed resolution regarding Purchase
Order#08-070 for the supply of LNG fuel to the City of San Bernardino. We have
concerns over the solicitation process, evaluation and the recommendation before council.
Solicitation Process
At no time was there an official release of a documented"Request for Proposals"where
detailed guidelines could be followed by all proposers. Therefore, critical components of
the City's fleet operation including current and future LNG volume needs as well as station
maintenance requirements were unknown. Further, the staff report makes no mention of
evaluation criteria such as LNG fuel supplier company background, experience, capabilities
or references. These are important points which should be considered in an evaluation
involving well over$1 million of annual costs to the City to ensure reliable LNG deliveries
to fuel vehicles providing essential City services.
Critical Criteria Not Evaluated
Company Background—Clean Energy is North America's largest natural gas vehicle fuel
provider both in number of stations and gallons sold per year. Today CE owns and operates
over 170 natural gas fueling stations with a broad customer base in the transit,refuse,
shuttle, taxi, intrastate and interstate trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets. Clean
Energy was formed in 2001 and currently employs over 125 people. CE has offices in
Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia, Texas, Washington,
Massachusetts, as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada.
Experience—Clean Energy is the largest provider of vehicular natural gas (CNG and LNG)
in North America currently delivering over 140,000 gallons of LNG per day to 40+
customers. Customers include the cities of Bakersfield, Barstow, Fresno, Phoenix,
Sacramento, Santa Monica, Tempe and Tulare as well as Omnitrans and the Los Angeles
World Airports.
North America's leader in clean transportation
Capabilities—Clean Energy is the only fuel provider with several LNG supply sources and
a proven track record to ensure the City of reliable and consistent LNG fuel deliveries.
In addition Clean Energy is currently constructing an LNG production plant in Boron,
California; only 75 miles from the City's yard. The Boron plant will produce 160,000
gallons per day and have a 1.5 million gallon storage tank. This 1.5 million gallon storage
tank is the only LNG storage facility in the entire Southwest region of the United States that
is sizeable enough to maintain customer deliveries during production disruptions. Clean
Energy will also have exclusive LNG supply from a new plant in Arizona opening this
summer. Further, our LNG tanker fleet of 60 units is the largest in the country dedicated to
LNG fuel deliveries.
Evaluation
We believe that a significant error has been made in evaluating the total cost of delivered
LNG and the total cost of station maintenance.
LNG Fuel Cost
The staff report states that Clean Energy's and ALT's "fuel costs are similar" however, this
is incorrect. The report concludes that ALT's fuel price is$1.29 per gallon plus freight and
Clean Energy's fuel price is$1.32 plus a diesel surcharge. There is no backup data to
support these figures and no pricing provided for freight or the diesel surcharge. Below is
an actual price comparison if fuel were to be delivered by either company today:
$/LNG Gallon Clean Energy ALT
April 2008 Natural Gas $0.726 $0.726
Commodity Price
20% Premium added to $0.000 $0.145
Commodity Price
Delivery Charge $0.620 $0.450
Freight $0.00 ??? Not provided in proposal
$0.144*
Diesel Surcharge $0.001 $0.000
($11.54/9,000 gallons)
Total $1.347 $1.465
Clean Energy Savings per $0.118
Gallon
Clean Energy Annual $88,358
Savings to City
*Diesel surcharge when fuel is above$3.50 per gallon. Assume DOE monthly diesel is$4.00:
($4.00/gal-$3.50/gal)x(round trip miles from Boron to San Bernardino of 150 miles/6.5 mpg)_$11.54
**Estimate of Freight Calculation per gallon is$0.144 (assumes$1300 per delivery and 9,000 gallons delivered)
i
Station Maintenance Cost
It remains unclear as to what basis was used in price comparison for future maintenance
services. The recommendation states that there is a"great disparity"between Clean
Energy's and ALT's maintenance costs". While CE's maintenance costs are clearly stated
in our proposal ($0.15 per gallon),ALT's proposal does not quote a price, but instead states
that after the station warranty period expires a rate will be negotiated. However, the
recommendation before council includes a breakdown of costs from ALT. We are not sure
how this information was derived.
Since there was no guidance on how to bid maintenance services, proposals from both
companies are completely different. Clean Energy has more service technicians that any
other LNG fuel supplier—50 employees across the country of which 13 are based in
Southern California. Our maintenance cost included all major and minor service(labor,
parts, planed maintenance and emergency call-outs). The price quoted was based on the
City's current usage of 1,200 gallons per day which would cost the City$4,500 per month
or$54,000 annually. We explained to City staff that with increased volume, we'd certainly
present a new maintenance price. We also explained that our maintenance bid was an
option to the City and not inclusive of fuel supply services. The assumption that Clean
Energy's maintenance cost to the City is$9,000 per month is incorrect.
Listed maintenance numbers for ALT are $750 per month for once a month maintenance.
This number does not include labor at$100 per hour or parts. Based on this data, an
estimated annual cost of$40,000 has been assumed. It is not clear where any of these
numbers originated from.
Clean Energy's Recommendation
Having provided LNG and CNG fueling services to thousands of fleet customers on a daily
basis, Clean Energy understands the City's proactive alternative fuel policy and welcomes
the opportunity to develop a long-term partnership. We appreciate your consideration of
our concerns and ask that you and the city council take an active role in evaluating the
proposals and reviewing the process.
Clean Energy remains available to meet in person and discuss our capabilities and the
contents of our proposal in greater detail. I can be reached at(562)493-2804.

2.1 LNG Production and Supply
As the largest and most experienced LNG fuel supplier in California, CE has the
proven ability to exceed the City's expectations. The City must meet daily roll-out
of its fleet of LNG powered refuse trucks. CE has maintained an excellent track
record and its partners have never missed roll-out due to fuel supply issues. In
order to further improve our service to the City, CE has begun building a new,
state-of-the-art LNG production facility in Boron, California. The new plant is
scheduled to come on-line during the 3rd Quarter 2008.

'+ L
Clean Energy's new Boron, California LNG Production Facility to
open 3`d Quarter 2008
The Boron plant will initially produce 160,000 gallons of LNG per day and have 1.5
million gallons of LNG on-site in a storage tank. This 1.5 million gallon storage tank
is the only LNG storage facility in the entire Southwest region of the United States
that is sizeable enough to maintain customer deliveries during production
disruptions. CE is the only LNG fuel provider that is making capital investments in
the LNG vehicle business to insure our customers of uninterrupted service.
In addition to the new Boron facility, CE signed an exclusive 10-year supply
agreement with Spectrum Energy Services (SES) to provide additional supply of
LNG. The agreement calls for SES to provide 100% of their production to CE
which initially starts at 45,000 gallons of LNG on a daily basis. The plant will be
located in Ehrenberg, Arizona and is scheduled to be completed during the
summer of 2008

2.2 LNG Delivery Management
As the largest LNG
fuel provider, CE is
confident in our
ability to provide
reliable and
consistent fuel fi
deliveries to the I
City. CE has
multiple LNG fuel
sources to pull from
when making
deliveries to high
fuel use customers
who must meet a
critical rollout
window on a daily
basis. These Clean Energy's Seal Beach Operations Center
sources include
ExxonMobil,
Williams Company and BP, all of which produce LNG and offload to CE's fleet of
tanker trailers. CE has access to other plants operated by various local utilities,
which are available on an as needed basis, and our own LNG Plant in Willis,
Texas, which can produce over 100,000 gallons of LNG per day with over 1 million
gallons of onsite storage.
In fact, because of our ability to procure LNG fuel from a number of sources and
our large tanker fleet, CE on several occasions over the years has served as a
reliable backup supplier and made emergency deliveries to fleets under contract
with other LNG fuel providers. This took place most recently at a Waste
Management LNG station which had been run out of fuel by its supplier. Within a
six-hour window, CE was able to make an emergency delivery to ensure vehicles
met roll-out.
GPS Tracking and Fuel Inventory Monitoring
CE utilizes a GPS tracking system that allows us to monitor the progress of our
deliveries throughout the country. CE also maintains excess trailers and driving
teams in order to ensure our delivery schedule and prevent any missed schedules.
We have had a very successful track record in meeting customers' schedules for
deliveries. CE can maintain a remote inventory monitoring system which is linked
to the City's LNG station and allows CE personnel to ensure timely deliveries to
each station.

Proposal
5.1 LNG Supply Pricing
CE is prepared to offer the City the following LNG supply pricing proposal:
Price Proposal
Delivered Price $0.62
SoCal Border Index SoCal Border
Applicable Taxes Taxes
Notes:
1. Index Price per MMBTU (million British Thermal Units)/12.1 = Price per LNG
Gal.
2. For example, the SoCal Border for the month of February is $7.60 per MMBTU,
which is the equivalent of$0.63 per LNG Gal. ($7.60/12.1). Thus, the City's
total fuel price for the month of June would be $1.25 per LNG Gal. ($0.62 +
$0.63).
3. An LNG Gal. is defined as 3.49 pounds of LNG.
4. The Product Price does not include any applicable federal, state or local taxes
and fees (if applicable), which will be added to the price to determine a final
deliverable cost of Product.
5. A diesel surcharge will apply when the average monthly diesel cost published
by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is higher then $3.50 per Gal
6. The SoCal Border is published monthly in Platt's Inside FERC publication. To
get the monthly index price per Gal., take the applicable index price per
MMBTU (million British Thermal Units) divided by 12.1.
Volumetric Excise Tax Credits
CE spear-headed and was successful in getting natural gas tax provisions
included under the 2005 Energy Bill, which provide a $0.50 per gallon tax credit on
LNG fuel. The tax credit will equate into a significant cost reduction to the City's
overall operating budget. CE's proposed pricing structure excludes any discount
as a result of the tax credits and we will assume the City is to apply for and receive
these tax credits separately. We will provide our assistance and guidance to
ensure the available tax credits are received by the City.

5.2 Station Maintenance
Description of Maintenance Services
CE is very familiar with CNG and LNG station operations and maintenance. As an
operator of the largest network of natural gas stations in North America, we
dispense more than 200,000 gallons daily. CE has built a reputation in the natural
gas fueling industry for having the most qualified staff to operate and maintain our
network of fueling stations, handle customer service, prepare accurate bills, and
market our products and services. CE will continue this tradition with the City by
providing a reliable fueling station to serve current and future clean burning fleets.
Preventative Maintenance
• CE will follow all of the manufacturer's recommendations for preventative
maintenance including all equipment inspections.
• CE will track station operations through a maintenance management
system that will monitor all major components of the station.
• CE will hold weekly maintenance meetings to discuss station performance
and resolve operational issues.
Unscheduled/Emergency Maintenance
• Station callout — in the unlikely event a station goes down for an ESD or
other predetermined issue, the maintenance technician on-duty will be
dispatched.
• A CE maintenance technician will be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a year.
• The City will all have access to other CE fueling stations in the network,
which provides a reliable backup fueling source.
Service Technician Team
CE currently employs 13 full time maintenance technicians and one cleaning
technician that are based in the Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside/San Bernardino
Region. Our technician team assures a quick response time in the event of
unscheduled maintenance and first class station appearance. Our maintenance
technicians are assisted by two Operations Coordinators, an Operations Manager
and our Assistant Vice President of Operations.

Station Maintenance Program
CE's Computerized Maintenance Management System
(CMMS) will be used at the City L/CNG station to ensure
equipment reliability and performance. The program's
monthly maintenance reports show maintenance tasks,
major/minor repairs and hours logged in addition to the
following:
• Manages inventory and orders parts
• Tracks hours and specific maintenance work orders i
• Provides complete history profile of equipment
• Provides detailed reports on a monthly basis
Spare Parts Inventory
CE stocks over $1.8 million in spare parts at our
maintenance facility in Santa Fe Springs as well as in the Handhelld d Devic es
Mobile Devicer
es
trucks of our service technicians. This will ensure that
important equipment parts are readily available to keep the
station up and running.
5.3 Station Maintenance Pricing
CE is prepared to offer a price per LNG _gallon inclusive of all labor, supervision,
spare and replacement parts, maintenance equipment, consumables, supplies,
transportation and all overheads including insurance and profit. Basing
maintenance pricing on a "per gallon" fee ensures accurate pricing reflective of
actual station usage. It also protects the City on unforeseen volume increases or
decreases over the next several years.
Station Maintenance I Cost per LNG Gallon
24/7 Service J $0.15
CE wishes to further discuss and clarify the following with the City:
Station maintenance excludes any repairs that are covered under the
manufacturers' warranty. CE understands that the manufacturers' warranty is for a
one-year period commencing on the date the station is officially accepted by the
City. CE's station maintenance pricing excludes costs associated with the
Multiforce/FuelForce card reader system, Greenfield CNG dispenser video panel
and LNG pump rebuilds (note —typical LNG pump life is three years). Damage to
LNG and CNG hoses and nozzles due to drive-aways will be paid for by the City.

provide all billing, retailing, customer service and interface with the
Multiforce/FuelForce card reader system. Card reader system and CNG dispenser
video panel potential maintenance and labor costs will be covered by CE under

Clean Energy Begins Construction on LNG Plant in California
— First Commercial LNG Plant in California to Serve Growing Demand
from Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Vehicle Fleets, including Los Angeles Ports —
Seal Beach, CA (Sept. 13, 2007) — Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) has begun
construction on California's first, large-scale LNG (liquefied natural gas) production plant in the
Mojave Desert, approximately 75 mites northeast of Los Angeles. The plant is scheduled to begin
commercial shipments in the second half of 2008.
"This plant is a major step in our preparing to fuel potentially thousands of additional buses and
trucks with natural gas as a result of increasing commercial demand and of new measures
instituted by the California Air Resources Board and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach for
cleaner vehicles," said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO.
Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fuels available, Littlefair noted. Natural gas vehicles
emit significantly less greenhouse gas and pollution than vehicles fueled by diesel or gasoline.
At the new plant, Clean Energy will liquefy pipeline gas for shipment to customers by tanker
trailers. Initial production capacity is anticipated to be 160,000 LNG gallons per day, which wilt
be delivered for use by vehicle fleets throughout California and the Southwest. The facility can
be expanded to a production capacity of 240,000 gallons per day. The plant will also have LNG
storage capacity of 1.5 million gallons.
About Clean Energy
Clean Energy, based in Seal Beach, CA, is the leading provider of natural gas (CNG and LNG) for
transportation in North America. It has a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, shuttle,
taxi, intrastate and interstate trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets, fueling more than
14,000 vehicles daily at strategic locations across the United States and Canada. Information at:

Clean Energy Signs Deal to Increase LNG Resources in Southwest
10-Year Agreement to Help Supply Growing Transportation Fuel Demand in AZ and CA -
Seal Beach, Calif. (October 25, 2007) - Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) has entered into
an LNG sales agreement with Spectrum Energy Services, LLC (SES), an Alaska limited liability
company, to purchase, on a take-or-pay basis over a term of 10 years, 45,000 gallons per day of
liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a plant to be constructed by SES in Ehrenberg Arizona, which is
near the California border. The plant is anticipated to be in full production in the summer of
2009.
The LNG from the plant will be used to help support Clean Energy's supply agreements with
customers in Arizona and California.
"Demand for natural gas for transportation is growing steadily, particularly in the Southwest, for
the transit, refuse and emerging ports markets,"said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy president
and CEO. "This new supply agreement will supplement our resources needed to fuel the growth."
"The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach alone have developed a plan that envisions the addition
of 5,300 heavy-duty LNG trucks for goods movement at the ports within five years," noted
Littlefair. "Clean Energy has committed to be a major supplier to that initiative and already has
LNG fueling stations under construction and design."
Clean Energy is building its own LNG production plant in the California desert that is planned to
begin delivering up to 160,000 gallons of LNG per day in late 2008. The plant is designed to be
able to increase production up to 240,000 gallons of LNG per day as demand grows further.
