2.3.1 Project Management and Organizational Structure The City seeks to establish a single point of accountability for the entirety of this project. The master developer will be responsible for comprehensive project management throughout the project lifecycle. • Develop and implement a detailed project management plan covering all project phases. • Assign a dedicated, experienced project manager as the primary point of contact for the City. • Establish clear communication protocols and reporting structures with all stakeholders. • Conduct regular status meetings and provide monthly written progress reports to the City. • Develop and maintain a detailed project schedule with critical path analysis. • Ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. • Oversee financial management, including budget tracking and reporting. • Maintain comprehensive project documentation. • For collaborative teams, they clearly define roles and responsibilities of each partner, demonstrating a cohesive approach to project execution. 2.3.2 Site Selection and Design The master developer will be responsible for conducting thorough site analysis and design for each Charging Hub, prioritizing safety, accessibility, and community needs. • Utilizing data-driven methodologies, conduct thorough site analysis to determine final locations for each Charging Hub type, based on the general areas identified in the grant application (See Exhibit 2). • Consider factors such as site safety, proximity to amenities, existing electrical infrastructure, community needs, environmental impact, and future expansion possibilities. • Prioritize locations in disadvantaged communities, aiming to place at least five of the eight charging hubs in Justice40 designated areas, per the requirements of the City’s grant application and federal requirements. • Ensure all sites are designed for safe ingress and egress from major roadways and provide safe access for users of all ages and abilities. • Incorporate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in site design to enhance user safety. • Conduct thorough utility coordination to ensure adequate power supply and minimize grid impacts. • Develop a comprehensive site plan including landscaping, lighting, and signage that aligns with the City's development requirements. • Demonstrate thorough understanding of local permitting processes and requirements, including strategies for efficient navigation of these procedures to minimize project delays. • Develop a phased implementation plan that prioritizes high-impact, easily deployable sites for initial rollout while planning for more complex locations. • Integrate micromobility charging infrastructure into the design of each neighborhood charging hub, and if feasible, at public fleet and fast charging hubs.
