AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Compressed
Natural Gas Fueling Station Upgrades
MEETING DATE: August 3, 2016
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
Compressed Natural Gas fueling station upgrades.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of replacing failed components and various
improvements and upgrades to the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
fueling station (Exhibit A) that was originally constructed in 2002.
The improvements include upgrading or replacing the compressor control panel for lead lag operation
and remote monitoring of the two compressors, installation of a second natural gas dryer, replacing the
dispenser on the fuel island, and repairs necessary to bring the slow fill system back in operation.
The City's CNG fueling station, located at the Municipal Service Center, supplies compressed natural gas
for the City's fleet of 24 Transit buses and various other City natural gas powered vehicles. This system
is subjected to heavy-duty use on a daily basis. The proposed improvements will improve reliability and
safety of the CNG fueling station.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
September 5, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a decrease in annual maintenance costs associated with these
upgrades.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
