Specifications include, but are not limited to: Task One: Member Education In January provide at least 1, possibly 2 webinars to educate WSTA members on the CFS program, associated issues, credit generation opportunities, potential financial benefit, DOE reporting requirements, brokering of CFS credits, and other relevant program information. The webinar(s) would be expected not to exceed 90 minutes and offer the ability to receive an answer questions remotely. Task Two: Member Needs Assessment WSTA members operate multiple modes of public transit throughout Washington State. Depending on when the facilities were built or most recently upgraded as well as the purchase of fleets, and the facilities and fleets will have a wide range of capabilities to monitor zero-emission consumption necessary to generate data required to produce credits. This assessment will need to examine each participant’s current and future ability to generate data for the credit program. For example, many agencies are in the beginning stages of fleet transition. They have or are about to install the infrastructure to support zero-emission fleets. With that said, some agencies have been operating and transition for several years. Each agency, who participates in the program will need to be assessed on their usage and credit generation, especially with the varying generations of facilities and equipment. The RFP should outline how the consultant will perform this assessment and display the data as an aggregate as well as displayed by member. This assessment should examine each facility to determine whether the facility can collect the data for each credit generation category and the ability to maximize credit generation in each category. The deliverable for this task is a brief report for each participating WSTA member identifying any equipment necessary to collect data for the CFS program (e.g., electric sub-meter, modifications to an electric circuit) and what data the member must collect to generate data, including the frequency, format, and level of detail necessary to support credit generation. Further, develop a guidance document(s) that describes the CFS program and the process of credit generation and monetization applicable to public transit agencies. This guidance should detail the best practices used by agencies to maximize their credit opportunity: • Accelerate of Zero-Emission Transition • Install the appropriate infrastructure such as charging/network equipment, fueling station and storage for fuel-cell/hydrogen. • Data management practices. • Other applicable information to assist in growing the program. This kind of guidance would be instructive to agencies that are still getting started. Time will be of the essence for this task. Credit generation opportunities begin January 1, 2023, for members. The goal is for members to be ready to generate credits ASAP. On-Going Tasks The core of this scope of work will be the following tasks that will be needed on an on-going basis. Task Three: Registration, Member Data Collection, Report Preparation, and Credit Generation The proposal should advise WSTA on the best process for registration into the program. Determine if this should be done by individual agencies or through the WSTA aggregating program itself. This advisement should take into consideration the DOE rules established for the program, best practices and past experiences in operating an aggregated program, Through WSTA, members would submit supporting data based on the frequency, format, and level of detail determined in Task Two to the selected consultant to prepare the necessary reports for submission to DOE in order to generate credits. The selected consultant will be responsible for maintaining a record of the number of credits generated by each WSTA member. The selected consultant will generate a series of individual statements describing how many credits were generated and documenting the calculation for each WSTA member. In addition, a summary statement detailing the total number of credits generated by WSTA members will also be prepared. These statements will be delivered within 30 days of the creation of the credits.
