Subject: Grant of Easement to San Diego Gas & Electric and Authorization to
Purchase Electric Vehicle Chargers from Westside Solutions Inc. for the
State Street Parking Lot Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Project
District: 1
Recommended Actions
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing execution of a grant of easement to San Diego Gas &
Electric for the State Street Parking Lot Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Project, Capital
Improvement Program Project No. 4090.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of electric vehicle chargers from Westside
Solutions Inc. for an amount not to exceed $128,365 for the State Street Parking Lot
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Project, Capital Improvement Program Project No.
4090.
Executive Summary
The State Street Parking Lot Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Project, Capital Improvement
Program Project No. 4090, will add 10 electric vehicle charging station ports to the city-owned
parking lot at 3021 State St.
San Diego Gas & Electric is in the process of finalizing the design of the infrastructure needed to
support these planned electric vehicle chargers and has requested the city grant an easement
for the SDG&E-owned and maintained equipment.1 Only the City Council has the authority to
grant such an easement.
Staff obtained quotes from Westside Solutions Inc. for the chargers, as well as related
networking services and warranties, through a cooperative purchasing agreement consistent
with the city’s purchasing policies and are requesting the City Council’s approval to purchase
the chargers and affiliated services for the project.
The cost of the 10 chargers is not to exceed $128,365, which requires approval of the City
Council under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.050(D) because the cost exceeds $100,000
per agreement year.
1 An easement provides legal access to property owned by others, generally for installing or maintaining
infrastructure.
July 23, 2024 Item #6 Page 1 of 57
Explanation & Analysis
The chargers at the State Street parking lot consistently have the highest use of all of the city-
owned public chargers, and the added capacity of 10 new chargers will allow for more electric
vehicle charging at the lot.
The City Council authorized the execution of an application and agreement with SDG&E to
provide, install and maintain the EV charging infrastructure on March 14, 2023. (Resolution No.
2023-075) The design and engineering of that project are anticipated to be completed this
summer. To complete the work, SDG&E has asked the city to grant it an easement surrounding
the proposed infrastructure that they will own and operate in support of the new charging
stations.
Westside Solutions Inc. provided a quote for purchase of 10 ChargePoint EV charging stations
and ancillary services totaling $128,365, as shown in Exhibit 4. Westside Solutions is an
authorized ChargePoint distributor. Its quote is based on a cooperative purchasing agreement
that guarantees government agencies low, competitive pricing. The purchasing agreement is
established through Sourcewell contract #042221-CPI, as shown in Exhibit 5.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.100 allows the city’s Purchasing Officer to join with other
public or quasi-public agencies in cooperative purchasing plans or programs for purchase of
goods and/or services by contract, arrangement or agreement as allowed by law and as
determined by the Purchasing Officer to be in the city’s best interest.2 The officer may buy
directly from a vendor at a price established by another public agency when the other agency
has made their purchase in a competitive manner.
The Purchasing Officer has made a determination that it is in the city’s best interest to procure
the EV chargers through a cooperative agreement and approved a bidding exemption on June
17, 2024, as shown in Exhibit 6.
Fiscal Analysis
There are sufficient funds budgeted to cover this cost. Additionally, the project has been
approved for $40,000 in grant funding from the California Energy Commission’s California
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project program, and $350,000 has been appropriated by
California State Parks for the project. Staff will return to the City Council with a request to
authorize accepting that external funding.
State Street Parking Lot Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Project
Capital Improvement Program Project No. 4090
Total project appropriation to date $340,000
Total expenditures/encumbrances to date -$163,435
Total available balance $176,565
Agreement with Westside Solutions Inc. -$128,365
Total remaining budget $48,200
2 Cooperative purchasing is when an agency uses an existing procurement contract from another agency as the
justification and documentation to create its own contract to purchase the same or similar items or services
directly from the vendor. Government agencies often use such cooperatives to reduce their costs of procurement.
July 23, 2024 Item #6 Page 2 of 57
Next Steps
Upon City Council authorization, staff will return the executed easement to SDG&E to be
recorded by the San Diego County Recorder’s Office and issue a purchase order to Westside
Solutions to procure the EV chargers.
Staff anticipate construction of the project to commence later this year.
Environmental Evaluation
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Guidelines Section
15301(b), which covers the minor alteration of existing public facilities, including existing
facilities of both investor and publicly owned utilities, involving negligible or no expansion. In
addition, none of the exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the use of
this exemption.

Rev. 10/2020 2
All Equipment and Products provided under this Contract must be new/current model. Vendor
may offer close-out or refurbished Equipment or Products if they are clearly indicated in
Vendor’s product and pricing list. Unless agreed to by the Participating Entities in advance,
Equipment or Products must be delivered as operational to the Participating Entity’s site.
This Contract offers an indefinite quantity of sales, and while substantial volume is anticipated,
sales and sales volume are not guaranteed.

from liens and encumbrances, and are free from defects in design, materials, and workmanship.
In addition, Vendor warrants the Equipment, Products, and Services are suitable for and will

make available to Sourcewell a means to validate or authenticate Vendor’s authorized dealers,
distributors, and/or resellers relative to the Equipment, Products, and Services related to this

reference. It is the Vendor’s responsibility to ensure Sourcewell receives the most current
version of this list.
3. PRICING
All Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract will be priced as stated in Vendor’s
Proposal.
When providing pricing quotes to Participating Entities, all pricing quoted must reflect a
Participating Entity’s total cost of acquisition. This means that the quoted cost is for delivered
Equipment, Products, and Services that are operational for their intended purpose, and
includes all costs to the Participating Entity’s requested delivery location.
Regardless of the payment method chosen by the Participating Entity, the total cost associated
with any purchase option of the Equipment, Products, or Services must always be disclosed in
the pricing quote to the applicable Participating Entity at the time of purchase.
A. SHIPPING AND SHIPPING COSTS. All delivered Equipment and Products must be properly
packaged. Damaged Equipment and Products may be rejected. If the damage is not readily
apparent at the time of delivery, Vendor must permit the Equipment and Products to be
returned within a reasonable time at no cost to Sourcewell or its Participating Entities.

July 23, 2024 Item #6 Page 15 of 57
042221-CPI
Rev. 10/2020 3

Equipment and Products at the time of delivery.
Vendor must arrange for and pay for the return shipment on Equipment and Products that arrive
in a defective or inoperable condition.
Sourcewell may declare the Vendor in breach of this Contract if the Vendor intentionally
delivers substandard or inferior Equipment or Products. In the event of the delivery of

as possible and the Vendor will replace nonconforming Equipment and Products with
conforming Equipment and Products that are acceptable to the Participating Entity.
B. SALES TAX. Each Participating Entity is responsible for supplying the Vendor with valid tax-
exemption certification(s). When ordering, a Participating Entity must indicate if it is a tax-
exempt entity.
C. HOT LIST PRICING. At any time during this Contract, Vendor may offer a specific selection
of Equipment, Products, or Services at discounts greater than those listed in the Contract.
When Vendor determines it will offer Hot List Pricing, it must be submitted electronically to
Sourcewell in a line-item format. Equipment, Products, or Services may be added or removed
from the Hot List at any time through a Sourcewell Price and Product Change Form as defined
in Article 4 below.
Hot List program and pricing may also be used to discount and liquidate close-out and
discontinued Equipment and Products as long as those close-out and discontinued items are
clearly identified as such. Current ordering process and administrative fees apply. Hot List
Pricing must be published and made available to all Participating Entities.
4. PRODUCT AND PRICING CHANGE REQUESTS
Vendor may request Equipment, Product, or Service changes, additions, or deletions at any
time. All requests must be made in writing by submitting a signed Sourcewell Price and Product
Change Request Form to the assigned Sourcewell Contract Administrator. This form is available
from the assigned Sourcewell Contract Administrator. At a minimum, the request must:
x Identify the applicable Sourcewell contract number;
x Clearly specify the requested change;

x Individually list all Equipment, Products, or Services affected by the requested change,
along with the requested change (e.g., addition, deletion, price change); and

items where pricing remains unchanged.

to this Contract and be incorporated by reference.

A. PARTICIPATION. Sourcewell’s cooperative contracts are available and open to public and
nonprofit entities across the United States and Canada; such as federal, state/province,
municipal, K-12 and higher education, tribal government, and other public entities.
The benefits of this Contract should be available to all Participating Entities that can legally
access the Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract. A Participating Entity’s
authority to access this Contract is determined through its cooperative purchasing, interlocal,
or joint powers laws. Any entity accessing benefits of this Contract will be considered a Service
Member of Sourcewell during such time of access. Vendor understands that a Participating
Entity’s use of this Contract is at the Participating Entity’s sole convenience and Participating
Entities reserve the right to obtain like Equipment, Products, or Services from any other source.
Vendor is responsible for familiarizing its sales and service forces with Sourcewell contract use
eligibility requirements and documentation and will encourage potential participating entities

A. ORDERS AND PAYMENT. To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under
this Contract, a Participating Entity must clearly indicate to Vendor that it intends to access this
Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and
Vendor. Typically, a Participating Entity will issue an order directly to Vendor. If a Participating
Entity issues a purchase order, it may use its own forms, but the purchase order should clearly
note the applicable Sourcewell contract number. All Participating Entity orders under this
Contract must be issued prior to expiration of this Contract; however, Vendor performance,
Participating Entity payment, and any applicable warranty periods or other Vendor or
Participating Entity obligations may extend beyond the term of this Contract.

conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be
negotiated between a Participating Entity and Vendor, such as job or industry-specific
requirements, legal requirements (e.g., affirmative action or immigration status requirements),
or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entitles may require the use of a
Participating Addendum; the terms of which will be worked out directly between the
Participating Entity and the Vendor. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must
never be less favorable to the Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.
C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires
service or specialized performance requirements (such as e-commerce specifications,
specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and requirements) not addressed in
this Contract, the Participating Entity and the Vendor may enter into a separate, standalone
agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not
be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.
D. TERMINATION OF ORDERS. Participating Entities may terminate an order, in whole or
in part, immediately upon notice to Vendor in the event of any of the following events:

at levels sufficient to pay for the goods to be purchased;
2. Federal, state, or provincial laws or regulations prohibit the purchase or change the
Participating Entity’s requirements; or
3. Vendor commits any material breach of this Contract or the additional terms agreed to
between the Vendor and a Participating Entity.
E. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. The governing law and venue for any action related to a
Participating Entity’s order will be determined by the Participating Entity making the purchase.

regulations at 41 C.F.R. § 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal
Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.” The equal opportunity clause is incorporated

3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 C.F.R. § 5,
“Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted
Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to
laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage
determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay
wages not less than once a week. The non-federal entity must place a copy of the current
prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The
decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the

regulations (29 C.F.R. § 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work
Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that

the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40
U.S.C. §§ 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 C.F.R. § 5).
Under 40 U.S.C. § 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of
every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess

not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40
hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction
work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or

ACT (33 U.S.C. § 1251-1387). Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 require
the non-federal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations
issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401- 7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. § 1251- 1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal

Sourcewell Contract #042221-CPI | Amendment #1
Page 1 of 2
AMENDMENT #1
TO
CONTRACT # 042221-CPI
THIS AMENDMENT is by and between Sourcewell and ChargePoint, Inc. (Vendor).
Sourcewell awarded a contract to Vendor to provide Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment and Related
Services to Sourcewell and its Participating Entities, effective July 15, 2021, through July 20, 2025
(Contract).
The parties wish to amend the following terms within the Contract.
1.This Amendment is effective upon the date of the last signature below.
2.Article 2. Equipment, Products, or Services Section, B. Warranty is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
Vendor warrants that all Equipment, Products, and Services furnished are free from liens and
encumbrances, and for a period of one year and consistent with Vendor’s Parts Only Warranty
(the “Warranty”) are free from defects in design, materials, and workmanship. In addition,
Vendor warrants the Equipment, Products, and Services are suitable for and will perform in
accordance with the ordinary use for which they are intended. Vendor’s dealers and distributors
must agree to assist the Participating Entity in reaching a resolution in any dispute over
warranty terms with the manufacturer. Any manufacturer’s warranty that is effective past the
expiration of the Vendor’s warranty will be passed on to the Participating Entity.
3.Article 6 Participating Entity Use and Purchasing, A. Orders and Payment is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:
To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract, a Participating
Entity must clearly indicate to Vendor that it intends to access this Contract; however, order
flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and Vendor. Typically, a
Participating Entity will issue an order directly to Vendor. If a Participating Entity issues a
purchase order, it may use its own forms as agreed between the Participating Party and Vendor,
but the purchase order should clearly note the applicable Sourcewell contract number. All
Participating Entity orders under this Contract must be issued prior to expiration of this
Contract; however, Vendor performance, Participating Entity payment, and any applicable
warranty periods or other Vendor or Participating Entity obligations may extend beyond the
term of this Contract.
4.Article 8 Report on Contract Sales Activity and Administrative Fee Payment, B. Administrative
Fee is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
In consideration for the support and services provided by Sourcewell, the Vendor will pay an
administrative fee to Sourcewell on all Equipment, Products, and Services provided to
Participating Entities. The Administrative Fee must be included in, and not added to, the pricing.
July 23, 2024 Item #6 Page 55 of 57
Sourcewell Contract #042221-CPI | Amendment #1
Page 2 of 2
Vendor may not charge Participating Entities more than the contracted price to offset the
Administrative Fee. The Vendor will submit payment to Sourcewell of 2% multiplied by the total
sales of all Equipment, Products, and Services purchased by Participating Entities under this
Contract during each calendar quarter.
Payments should note the Vendor’s name and Sourcewell-assigned contract number in the
memo; and must be mailed to the address above “Attn: Accounts Receivable” or remitted
electronically to Sourcewell’s banking institution per Sourcewell’s Finance department
instructions. Payments must be received no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each
calendar quarter.
5. Article 11 Liability is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Vendor must indemnify, save, and hold Sourcewell and its Participating Entities, including their
agents and employees, harmless from any third party claims or causes of action, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent arising out of the negligent performance of this
Contract by the Vendor or its agents or employees or Vendor’s willful misconduct; this
indemnification includes injury or death to person(s) or property alleged to have been caused by
some defect in the Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract to the extent the
Equipment, Product, or Service has been used according to its specifications
6. Article 21. Provisions for Non-United States Federal Entity Procurements Under United States
Federal Awards or Other Awards, Section D. Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or
Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
Except as amended by this Amendment, the Contract remains in full force and effect.

Memorandum
June 4, 2024
To:Roxanne Muhlmeister, Assistant Finance Director/Purchasing Officer
From:John Maashoff, Public Works Manager
Re:Request to Participate in Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Westside
Solutions, Inc.
The Public Works Department requests authorization for use of a cooperative purchasing
agreement per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.100 (Cooperative Purchasing). This code
provides that the purchasing officer shall have the authority to join with other public or quasi-
public agencies in cooperative purchasing plans or programs for the purchase of goods and/or
services by contract, arrangement or agreement as allowed by law and as determined by the
purchasing officer to be in the city’s best interest. The purchasing officer may buy directly from
a vendor at a price established by another public agency when the other agency has made their
purchase in a competitive manner.
The Public Works Department would like to cooperatively use a Cooperative Purchasing
Agreement that was competitively sourced through Sourcewell contract #042221-CPI with
ChargePoint, Inc. to purchase electric vehicle chargers and charger services for the State Street
Parking Lot Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Project, Capital Improvement Program Project No.
4090. The EV charges and charger services selected for the project will be purchased from
Westside Solutions, Inc., an authorized distributor related to the contract. The total amount of
this purchase is $128,365.
