Background: The City constructed and commissioned a CNG/LNG fueling station at the City yard. This facility is used for several City owned vehicles and is also utilized by other public and private operators of natural gas vehicles. The use of the station has grown with each passing month. We are now receiving a shipment of 10,000 gallons of liquefied natural gas approximately every six days. With the opening of the City facility the County of San Bernardino will be closing its facility and we expect this to cause additional use of the City facility. Staff hopes to acquire the three CNG storage bottles that the County uses at its CNG station and install them at our CNG station. The storage bottles have been pressure tested and shown to be in good condition. This installation would double the storage capacity of our CNG station. It would also extend the life of the CNG pumping equipment by reducing the amount of time the pumps need to stop and start in order to fill the CNG storage bottles. If the City were to purchase new CNG storage bottles and install them it would cost approximately $120,000. Therefore, the $85,000 this upgrade will cost is a prudent step to take in support of our CNG/LNG facility. Financial Impact: Staff recommends using $85,200 of the carryover balance from the LNG/CNG fueling facility project to pay for this upgrade. Recommendation: 1). Adopt Resolution. RESOLUTION NO.

The city has made arrangements for us to purchase three bottles from the county which we will relocate to the cny site, including the crane, transportation and connecting them to the three existing bottles. This will double the city's current storage capacity and benefit the equipment by allowing it to run for a longer cycle while filling the bottles and will reduce the wear on the pumping equipment created by shorter more. frequent stop and go cycles. This should reduce the stress on the pumping equipment and extend the life expectancy of the equipment. This price is based on the county seillng EFS West three storage bottles at the county yard located off of Third 51. in San Bernlilrdino and that the bottles and PRV valves have been recertified for the price of $ 55,000.00. We will include the crane to load and off load the bottles and a flat bed truck to transport them to the city site. We will install Tee fittings in the existing tubing and connect all three bottles into the system.
