No Sole Source
• Public Resources Code section 26235(c), states:
“A community college district or LEA shall not use a sole source process to award funds pursuant to this chapter. A community college district or LEA may use the best value criteria…”
15
California Energy Commission
No Sole Source• No sole source applies to all Proposition 39
funding; planning funds and energy project implementation funds.
16
California Energy Commission
No Sole Source• “The LEA shall defer to their own
procurement regulations and procedures, as long as they reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations and do not conflict with the minimum legal standards specified above.”
In other words…consult your attorney.

Energy Savings CalculationsStep 1 – Energy Benchmarking• 12 Consecutive Months Energy Consumption Data• Convert Electricity, Natural Gas, Propane, and Fuel Oil Consumption into MMBtu• Conversion Factors:
Electricity 10,716 Btu/kWhNatural Gas 100,000 Btu/thermPropane 92,500 Btu/galFuel Oil 138,500 Btu/gal
33
California Energy Commission
Energy Savings Calculations
Step 2a – Energy Savings• Estimate Annual Energy Savings from EACH Measure
– Energy Saving Method Must be Articulated– Calculations and Assumptions (if any) must be provided in
Audit Report– If software is used, the output must be provided with
assumptions (if any)
• Convert Each Measure’s Annual Energy Savings into MMBtu using Conversion Factors in Step 1
34
California Energy Commission
Energy Savings Calculations
Step 2a – Energy Savings
• Multiply Each Measure’s Annual Energy Savings (MMBtu) with its Respective EUL to get Total Energy Savings Over Measure’s Life Span
(EUL for ECAA-Ed Loans will be the Lesser of Actual EUL of the EEM or 20 Years)
• Add Individual Energy Savings (MMBtu) for All Measures to Estimate Total Energy Savings From the Project
35
California Energy Commission
Energy Savings Calculations
Step 2a – % of Energy Savings• Convert Energy Savings into Million Btu
• Divide Energy Savings (MMBtu) by the Energy Benchmarking (MMBtu) to get the % of Energy Savings
36
California Energy Commission
Energy Savings Calculations
Step 2b – Total Cost Savings from Measures
• Multiply Annual Energy Cost Savings from Each Measure with Respective EUL to get Total Cost Savings from the Measure over its EUL
• Add Total Cost Savings from All Measures to get Total Savings from the Project
37
California Energy Commission
Energy Savings Calculations
Step 2c – Role of Simple Payback Period• Add First Year’s Cost Savings from each Measure to get Total First Year Cost Savings• Divide Project Cost by Total First Year Cost Savings to get Simple Payback period
• If the Final Score of Two Applications is the Same, the Application with the Shorter Simple Payback will be Ranked Higher

Senate Bill 110
• Funding: $75 million
• Eligible applicants: school districts and county offices of education (COE).
• Priority should be given to the oldest school buses, or school buses operating in disadvantaged communities and to schools that have a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the prior year.
• Any school bus replaced shall be scrapped.
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 3
CARB and Local Air Districts: Historical Funding
• Since 2001, more than $500M has gone to retrofit or replace school buses through CARB and local air districts.
• Objective: To reduce kids’ exposure to toxic diesel exhaust, and reduce air pollution overall, by replacing the oldest school buses.
• State School Bus Funding https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/funding/schoolbus_fa.htm
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 4
Program Goals and Objectives
Follow SB 110 and Governor's Executive Order
Children’s health and safety
Allocation scheme that best provides a level of funding equity
Build the future supporting network of advanced next generation infrastructure
Position as many schools with the options to embrace next generation zero emission vehicles
GHG reductions
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 5
Proposed Design Concept
Comprehensive Design:• School bus replacement (2 Phases)
Phase 1: Identify list of buses eligible for replacement.Phase 2: Solicit manufacturers to design, construct, and deliver the replacement buses to school districts.
• Provide EV fueling infrastructure to support bus and future expansion.
• Provide workforce training and development for EV buses.

Next Steps
• Conduct a competitive solicitation for school districts/COE
• Award school districts/COE in ranked order until all funds available are exhausted.
• Provide grant funds directly to the eligible school districts/COE to purchase the buses identified in their application.
• Conduct a competitive solicitation for school bus manufacturers
• Award school bus manufacturer
• Order and build buses
• Install infrastructure and provide workforce training

2. Lowered Emissions
3. Quieter Smoother Ride
4. Charging Overnight
5. Lower Maintenance
6. Lower Fuel Cost
7. Potential Vehicle to Grid

Cost Savings of Electric Buses

Cost Diesel CNG ElectricMaintenance $9,075 $3,360 $1,770Fuel $5,930 $5,000 $2,714Total $15,005 $8,360 $4,484
• This program will cover the up-front capitol costs, passing on the annual O&M cost savings to the school districts, while replacing an older bus with a clean new one!
• Electric School Buses are an emerging technology…
They have a higher up-front front capitol cost compared to mature technologies.
But… have much lower annual operations and maintenance costs!
