BACKGROUND
Over the last several years, Silicon Valley Power (SVP) has led efforts to install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) at various City-owned public and fleet sites including the Central Park Library, City Hall, Mission Branch Library, Northside Branch Library, Senior Center, Park Services Center, Triton Museum, Community Recreation Center, Convention Center, Tasman Garage, Police Station, Street Corporation Yard, and at multiple parks.
To support the future installation of additional EVCS at City-owned public and fleet sites, the City applied for and was awarded funding under SVP's Municipal Government and Nonprofit EV Charging Station Grant Program. This program supports the electrification of municipal and nonprofit fleets in Santa Clara, advances sustainability and climate action goals through expanded public and workplace Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure and helps reduce citywide emissions.
The Citywide Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Installation Project (Project) proposes to install EVCS at various City-owned public and fleet sites, including at Fire Stations 2, 6, and 8, Mission City Memorial Park, the Don Von Raesfeld Power Plant, the Street Corporation Yard, the Santa Clara Police Department, Central Park Library, the Senior Center, City Hall, and at the Community Recreation Center. The specific improvements, including the Project locations, numbers of chargers, and types of chargers, are subject to refinement and change during the course of the Project based upon further engineering design, available construction budget, and coordination with internal City departments based on needs. The design and construction phase of this Project is being led by the Public Works Department.
