City of Fort Collins Page 18 6/20103 Transfort Bus Facility 44 UeanEneigy Executive Summary Clean Energy is pleased to provide the City of Fort Collins (the City) with the enclosed proposal to provide natural gas fueling equipment as part of the Transfort fueling facility. We believe this proposal provides for a cost effective state of the art solution that will meet all of the City's requirements. More importantly, Clean Energy understands the unique nature of this project and the required coordination between Clean Energy and the City during the various phases of this project, especially during the transition to the permanent facility from Phase II to Phase III as described in the Request for Proposal. By way of background, on June 19, 2001, Pickens Fuel Corp. and eFuels Inc. announced the merger of the two companies. The newly formed company, ENRG, is North America's largest natural gas fuel provider both in number of stations and gallons sold per year. In January of 2003, ENRG acquired Blue Energy and Technologies and its related subsidiaries. This acquisition included the operating units of Natural Fuels in Denver and Transtar Energy in Dallas. Today Clean Energy owns and operates over 150 natural gas fueling stations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, Washington, British Columbia, and Ontario providing natural gas (compressed and liquid) to over 25,000 vehicles. Building on this expertise, Clean Energy is excited about this opportunity to work with City to develop a CNG fueling station that is both cost effective and efficient. City of Fort Collins Page 2 6/20/03 Transfort Bus Facility (V 0banF_rX,W- Experience and Overview of Firm Based in Seal Beach, California, Clean Energy is the largest supplier of natural gas as a transportation fuel in North America. With over 200 years of employee experience in the natural gas vehicle (NGV) business, providing compressed natural gas (CNG) to more than 25,000 vehicles, Clean Energy understands the unique nature of providing CNG as a vehicle fuel. Today Clean Energy owns and operates more than 150 CNG (compressed natural gas) and LNG (liquefied natural gas) fueling stations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, Washington, British Columbia, and Ontario, Canada. Over the past five years Clean Energy has constructed or substantially upgraded over 25 natural gas fueling stations. Because Clean Energy has demonstrated the ability to successfully manage some of the nation's largest natural gas fueling projects, the City can be assured of a quality project and equipment supplier. On June 14, 2001, Pickens Fuel Corp. (PFC) of Seal Beach, California and eFuels of Vancouver, British Columbia announced the merger of the two companies. Prior to the merger, BC Gas, the largest natural gas utility in British Columbia providing natural gas to over 700,000 households, held a 68% interest in eFuels. Westport Innovations held the remaining 32% of eFuels. On January 1, 2003 ENRG announced the acquisition of Blue Energy and Technologies. Prior to this Blue Energy was the largest fuel supplier of CNG for vehicles in Colorado and Texas. Prior to the mergers, PFC was wholly owned by Boone Pickens. Mr. Pickens founded PFC in 1997 because he recognized the enormous potential of deploying NGVs in urban areas such as Southern California where pollution from mobile sources is a major concern. Today Clean Energy is positioned to build on the strengths of the four companies and will continue to provide our existing and new customers with superior service, reliable state-of-the-art fueling solutions and value added services, including consultation and grant services. For the past 10 years Clean Energy (formerly eFuels by BCG ,Pickens Fuel Corp. and Blue Energy and Technologies) has been leading the industry in providing turnkey natural gas fueling solutions for its customers. Clean Energy brings an experienced team of professionals to this project that will provide the City with a natural gas fueling station that meets the City's immediate and long-term needs. In fact, Clean Energy has developed several partnerships with transit agencies including SunLine Transit, Tempe Transit, Foothill Transit, San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Forth Worth T, Denver RTD and others. Clean Energy understands the demanding and critical nature of public transit and has never missed a day of rollout for its customers. Clean Energy has also been a leader in the industry in developing and operating natural gas fueling stations at several major U.S. airports. Clean Energy has built and successfully operates CNG fueling stations at Denver International Airport (seven stations), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (two stations), Los Angeles City of Fort Collins Page 3 6/20/03 Transfort Bus Facility e4 Ckan &wn International Airport, Oakland International Airport and Pahn Springs International Airport, DFW International Airport, Burbank Airport, John Wayne Airport, Tucson International Airport, and Seattle Tacoma International Airport. Clean Energy supports its customer's endeavors like no other equipment or fuel supplier in the industry. Our mission is to ensure a quality fueling station and quality NGV experience. Over the past several years Clean Energy has established several outstanding public/private partnerships which serve as models for success, including: • Regional Transportation District (two stations in Colorado) • Denver International Airport (seven station in Colorado • SunLine Transit in the Coachella Valley (California) • Tempe Transit (Arizona) • Arizona Department of Administration • Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (Arizona)) • Los Angeles Department of Airports • County of Los Angeles • City of Irvine (California) • City of Seal Beach (California) • Montebello Unified School District (California) • Translink (Port Coquitlam, Canada) • Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Canada) • City of Richmond (Canada) Clean Energy has also developed important long-term natural gas fueling partnerships with corporations such as Waste Management Inc, LA Taxi (largest taxi operator in Los Angeles), SuperShuttle, and many others. Clean Energy believes it can build upon this success by being the City's partner for many years to come. Recent Projects Completed by Clean Enerev Foothill Transit Through a competitive RFP process in 2001 Clean Energy was awarded a contract to design, build and operate a CNG fueling station for Foothill Transit. The station located at Foothill's maintenance facility in Pomona, California, consists of six IMW compressors with a total output capacity of 4,136 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) or approximately 2,000 gallons per hour along with four single hose fast fill dispensers, twin tower regenerative dryer and 60,000 standard cubic feet of high pressure storage. Initially the station will serve a fleet of 66 Orion dedicated CNG buses, growing over The station consists of six compressors rated at over 700 scfin each City of Fort Collins Page 4 6/20/03 Transfort Bus Facility 44 Clean F-1i&W- the next few years to 124 buses. Though station was completed in June of 2002, Clean Energy and Foothill have been extremely pleased with the outcome of this project. In addition to the turnkey construction, Clean Energy is also providing Foothill with a fixed fuel price for a two- year period. The fixed fuel (commodity and compression) price allows Foothill to accurately predict their fuel costs for the next two years and more importantly be protected against spiking natural gas prices. In the remaining years of the contract the compression charge is fixed except for cost of living increases. As typical in a design, build, and operate agreement, Clean Energy is 100% responsible for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the station throughout the contract period. In Phase II of the project Clean Energy will be building a public access island on the perimeter of the property to serve a local refuse and taxi/shuttle company. Both fleets will be required to replace their diesel and gasoline vehicles with NGVs when their existing fleets are retired. The additional load will be off peak to Foothill so the station equipment can be more fully utilized. The station was completed on time and on budget in June 2002. The total cost of equipment and construction was $2.5 million. Project Team Project Manager: Mr. Denis Ding, Clean Energy Manager of Engineering General Contractor: Brinderson Construction Equipment Supplier: IMW Compressors Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Clean Energy owns and operates two of the largest 24-hour access CNG stations in the nation both of which are located at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The stations serve the Department of Aviation's fleet (>100 vehicles), SuperShuttle, three private taxi companies (>200 vehicles), and ATC\Vancom who operates over 40 full size interterminal transit buses that serve the airport. Combined, Clean Energy dispenses more than 2.5 million gallons per year. The Westside station (see below) opened in 1994 and cost just over $1.0 million. ENRG's 24 hour access CNG station at Eastside Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Through a competitive RFP, Clean Energy was awarded a contract to design, build, own and operate a second station on the Eastside of the airport. The station which opened in October 2001 after six months of construction at a cost of $1.6 million, is equipped with over 2,000 scfin or approximately 1,000 gallons/hour of compression capacity making it City of Fort Collins Page 5 6/20/03 Transfort Bus Facility C4 0WnEnelgy the largest 24-hour access station in the United States. The station was crucial in meeting the demand of more than 200 new natural gas taxis and 30 additional transit buses that provide passenger service for rental car, offske parking and terminal transfers. Furthermore, Clean Energy played a critical role in developing the market for additional vehicles to be deployed in Phoenix. Clean Energy worked closely with the local policy makers to develop public policy requiring the use of alternative fuels at the airport. For example, Clean Energy was at the forefront of supporting the Airport in mandating the franchised taxi operators utilize CNG taxicabs. Clean Energy supported this effort at the Airport with information about fueling, attending and speaking at public meetings and working with Ford Motor Company on vehicles and incentives. Eastside Station Project Team Project Manager: Mr. Denis Ding, Clean Energy Manager of Engineering General Contractor: AE Schmit Environmental Equipment Supplier: IMW Compressors Palm Springs International Airport In partnership with SunLine Transit Agency, Clean Energy owns and operates a CNG fueling station adjacent to Palms Springs International Airport in Palm Springs, California.
