AUGUST 8, 2023 SPECIAL MEETING • ITEM # 2
Subject: Consider declining the obligation of Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) funds for
the Veterans Memorial Park Project.
Department: Community and Economic Development
Summary: At its July 18, 2023 Regular City Council Meeting, Council voted unanimously to approve
the proposal from Jobear Contracting, Inc. for the renovation and construction of Veterans
Memorial Park (VMP), in an amount not to exceed $750,000 contingent upon the CRA Board's
approval (see attached July 18, 2023 City Council Agenda Summary). The Financial Impact section
of the Agenda Item indicated project funding of $325,000 from the General Fund and $425,000
from the CRA.
Upon further review of the FY 2023/24 CRA Proposed Budget, Staff is recommending that
contingency in the CRA Budget not be utilized for the VMP Project, and instead the remaining CRA
funding be utilized to further support existing CRA initiatives, notably implementation of the
Presidential Streets Masterplan, as there may be unanticipated costs and/or unknown expenses that
may arise as implementation moves forward.
For this reason, it is recommended that the CRA Board decline funding that portion of the VMP
Project with CRA funds. Rather, it will be proposed to City Council the $425,000 that was to come
from the CRA, now be funded through the City's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The City
currently has $900,000 of unobligated ARPA funds. If approved, a balance of $475,000 in
unobligated ARPA funds will remain.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY • ITEM # 9
Subject: Approve proposal from Jobear Contracting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $750,000 for
the renovation and construction of Veterans Memorial Park and authorize the City Manager to
execute the same.
Department: Capital Projects/Parks, Recreation and Community Affairs
Summary: Staff invited qualified licensed contractors, in accordance with the City's Purchasing
Policy and Florida Statutes, to submit a bid for the construction of Veterans Memorial Park (VMP).
Project Description: The Project consists of renovating Veterans Memorial Park and will include
the following:
• New pervious walkways
• Lighted walkway including festoon lighting
• New Memorial with six (6) new Branch Medallions
• New Flag Poles
• Numerous seating areas
• Pedestrian boardwalk swale crossing (bridge)
• A dedicated lawn event area
• Florida -friendly and native landscaping
Firm Selection Process: Staff advertised the request for bids on May 11, 2023 by posting (1) a legal
ad in the Florida Today newspaper, (2) a notice on the City web page, and (3) bid information on
Demandstar (Internet bid service). A "Bid Submittal" notation was included, which stated a contract
would be awarded pursuant to the requirements of applicable State and Federal laws and
regulations. A non -mandatory pre -bid meeting was held on May 23, 2023, and a total of five (5)
potential bidders attended the meeting.
Four (4) contractors submitted sealed bids for the Project, which were opened at City Hall on June
29, 2023 (Attachment 1). Upon review of the submitted bids, Staff and the City's project engineer,
Kimley Horn and Associates (KHA), recommend award of the bid to Jobear Contracting, Inc.
(Jobear), with a bid amount of $750,000. A proposed Construction Agreement with Jobear is
included (Attachment 2). Although MGM Contracting Inc. was the low bidder with a bid of $579,386,
Jobear is recommended for this Project for the following reasons:
• Extensive experience in performing projects with multiple government agencies
• Qualifications relative to this project
• A 100% completed bid tab sheet
Timeline and Cost Increases:
FY 2020/21. The first community input sessions for VMP commenced in February 2020, no one
could have predicted the series of events that would unfold in the following months. Like so many
other things, the VMP Project stalled as the world grappled with more emergent priorities created
by the COVID-19 Pandemic. In 2020 there was no Strategic Planning Retreat due to COVID-19.
However, the Project was included in the Budget with a total budgeted amount of $500,000
($410,000 for construction services and $90,000 for design services). At the March, 2021 Strategic
Planning Retreat, the VMP Project was reviewed by City Council (Attachment 3). In the months to
follow, conceptual drawings were received and Community Engagement activities commenced.

Agenda Item # 9_
Page 2 of 3
Council Member Kellum and Staff worked with KHA to gather feedback from local Veterans
regarding uses for the Park. The final concept design was approved 5-0 at the August 17, 2021
Regular City Council Meeting (Attachment 4). As of this time, a total of $26,079 had been expended
to date, toward design services.
FY 2021/22. Construction funding ($410,000) was split into two years: $200,000 in FY 2021/22 and
$210,000 in FY 2022/23. Staff presented an update at the City Council Strategic Planning Retreat in
March, 2022 which explained that the first phase was to be for hardscape/landscape improvements
and the second phase for other amenities, including playground equipment, for which a grant was
to be pursued. During the next few months, KHA completed the final design and submitted plans
for Staff to review. An additional $15,680 was spent on design services this Fiscal Year and the total
expenditures to date were $41,759.
FY 2022/23. The CIP narrative incorrectly assumed that Phase 1 had been completed at the time
of budget publication and this explains why only the total remaining construction services budget
for Phase 2 was proposed at $200,678. However, no construction funding had been spent to date.
At the request of community stakeholders, the Council revisited the topic of the playground feature
included in the approved design. Originally slated for the December 2022 Regular Meeting that ran
over time, the discussion item proposing the removal of the playground appeared on the January
17, 2023 agenda and Council voted 5-0 in favor of removing the playground equipment in exchange
for a more appropriate amenity that would better meet the needs of Park users (Attachment 5). In
April of 2023, KHA produced an Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) in the amount of
$330,000 (Attachment 6). In May, 2023, the final design had been revised accordingly and the
Project was put out to bid that same month. An additional $30,000 is estimated to be expended for
design services during the current fiscal year. Deducting this from the $200,678 leaves $170,678
(rounded to $170,000) in the FY 2022/23 budget. This will be moved forward to the FY 2023/24 budget.
Total expenditures to date: $71,759.
The Jobear proposal is $750,000 and the OPCC is $330,000. This is obviously a much higher expense
than projected or budgeted. Part of this wide variation can be explained by economic impacts to
the industry. In the years since this project was first presented, the country has experienced
significant inflation. The National Association of Home Builders published in May 2022, that
building materials prices had risen 35.6% since the start of the pandemic. Other sources project an
increase of 4% - 5% in 2023. Another possible factor contributing to the wide variation is that the
construction industry has been directly impacted by three years of supply chain challenges, which
trigger labor issues (layoffs, skilled labor moving on to other industries, costs related to training a
new workforce) and the impacts of cost -of -living and minimum hourly wage increases.
It is possible to fund this Project, utilizing General Fund and CRA sources:
• $325,000 from the General Fund: Cash forward of $170,000, plus $155,000 (shown in the
proposed FY 2022/23 budget - CIP PRCA 11)
• $425,000 from the CRA
It is recommended that City Council approve with the condition that Staff conduct a Value Engineering
(VE) exercise to reduce the total cost, with any potential savings benefiting the General Fund.

AUGUST 8, 2023 SPECIAL MEETING • ITEM # 3
Subject: Consider approving FY 2023/24 expenditure in an amount not to exceed $80,000 for the
acquisition and installation of four (4) electric vehicle charging stations.
Department: Community and Economic Development
Summary: At its July 18, 2023 Regular Meeting, City Council approved a City -owned electric vehicle
charging station upgrade project in an amount of $120,000, contingent upon approval by the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board (Attached).
This item came to light subsequent to the March 2023 Strategic Planning Retreat, and cost figures
were not available at the time of the City's FY 2023/24 Proposed Budget distribution. As a result,
the Council was asked to approve a FY 2023/24 budget allocation for the Project in the amount of
$120,000 and an estimated annual revenue line item of approximately $72,000.
The Project includes the purchase and installation of six (6) charging stations, four (4) of which will
be located within the City's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) area. The four (4) charging
stations, located within the CRA area, have a cost of $80,000, and are eligible expenditures of CRA
funds, with approval of the CRA Board. The cost ($40,000) of the two charging stations outside of
the CRA will be funded through the City's General Fund. The proposed location of the four (4)
charging stations within the CRA are:
1. City Hall (3), and
2. Canaveral City Park (1), in the parking lot immediately north of the C5.
As mentioned previously, the July 18, 2023 Council approval is contingent upon approval of this
Item by the CRA Board. For this reason, it is incumbent upon the CRA Board to consider this Item
for approval/expenditure of $80,000 from the CRA's FY 2023/24 Budget.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY • ITEM # 10
Subject: Approve City -owned electric vehicle charging station upgrade project proposal, to utilize
NovaCHARGE networked NC8000 series charging stations, requiring user payment, and a FY 23/24
budget allocation for the project in the amount of $120,000.
Department: Community and Economic Development Department — Resilience Division
Summary: The City of Cape Canaveral (City) currently owns and maintains six (6) publicly -accessible
dual -plug Level-2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (12 plugs total) at four sites, which require
no payment for residents and visitors to utilize. They are "non -networked", and cannot support
and/or record any information such as kilowatt-hour (kwh) dispensation, user fees, automatic
maintenance alerts, or circuit breaker tripping.
Current EV charging station locations:
1. Manatee Sanctuary Park, 1 unit, two plugs
2. Banana River Park, 1 unit, two plugs
3. City Hall, 3 units, two plugs each
4. Cape Canaveral Public Library, 1 unit, two plugs
As the 2020s progress, City Council and Staff have frequently noted all EV charging stations being
increasingly utilized on a daily basis. Factors contributing to this include:
• EV sector's rapid growth across the country.
• EV drivetrains are solely powered by onboard battery packs, which continue to increase
in physical size and capacity to allow for longer ranges between charges. Increased
capacities require more electricity to recharge and therefore longer charge times from
Level-2 style charging stations.
• Brevard County's population increases and sustained residential development.
• For several years, the City has championed the EV industry by offering free charging at select
City facilities. Due to its unique location on the Space Coast, the City has become known as
a multi -modal hub of diverse socio-economic activity, eco-tourism, and is regionally -known
as supportive of a variety of high-tech and national security -based business sectors.
In 2021, City Council directed Staff to investigate upgrading all of the City's EV charging stations to
networked models ("smart", charging stations that can provide important usage telemetry),
requiring user payment, in order to offset increasing system demand costs. This is also stated in the
City's 2021 Resiliency Action Plan in Preparedness Target #18.
A brief history of Staff research:
Rivian, a California -based EV manufacturer, promoted an initiative to install roughly 10,000
purpose-built EV charging stations across the US as part of its "Adventure Network." Rivian scoped
the feasibility of replacing the City's existing charging stations at no cost to the City, with the intent
of maintaining them as publicly accessible and Rivian-owned. When presented with this proposal,
Council was supportive and directed Staff to pursue the project to include transitioning the City's
current non -networked EV charging stations to networked models and requiring payment for use
and a reimbursement to the City for kilowatt hours (kWh) expended. In early 2023, after a year of
site visits, planning, and a draft agreement, Rivian representatives notified Staff that the project no
longer had funds for completion.

City Council Meeting • July 18, 2023
Agenda Item # 10
Page 2 of 4
Subsequently, in 2023, City Council directed Staff to research user -fee EV charging options which
could be owned and operated by the City.
Authorization Under State Law. State law is currently evolving and does not prohibit a
municipality from offering the sale of electricity via EV Charging Stations (Attachment 1). Rates,
terms, and conditions of EV charging services are not subject to regulation at this time. When
regulations are enacted, the City will be required to comply, to include reporting to the Florida
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Staff reviewed alternative offerings from the following:
• ChargePoint: High upfront cost and ongoing networking fees, with a single dual -plug
Level-2 station costing over $6,000, and an annual networking fee of over $600
(Attachment 2).
• FPL: Quoted to the City as a no -cost option; however, per FPL's service agreement, the
City would not be able to institute a rate structure for usage (Attachment 3).
• Blink: Provided a no -cost quote for charging stations that would require the City to
install cost -prohibitive electrical infrastructure upgrades to accommodate station
requirements. (Attachment 4).
• SemaConnect: Was recently acquired by Blink, and Staff deems utilizing the company
too risky due to changeover (Attachment 5).
• NovaCHARGE: An Orlando -based company, NovaCHARGE is recommended as a best
option vendor based on lowest cost to implement, with few infrastructural demands on
the City, company stability, and product versatility.
Staff recommendation:
• Procure and install six (6) universal dual -plug Level-2 networked EV charging stations,
sourced from NovaCHARGE. Specific model: NovaCHARGE NC8000 Series 240V/32A;
which are highly durable, modular, and have a low profile (Attachments 6 and 7).
• Authorize the removal of the (1) EV charging station at the Cape Canaveral Public Library.
• Authorize the installation of new EV charging stations at Manatee Sanctuary Park (1),
Banana River Park (1), City Hall (3) and one (1) new station to be installed at Canaveral
City Park, atop a new concrete pad in the parking lot immediately north of the C5.
A full project scope can be found in Attachment 8. The EV charging station software operates an
artificial intelligence (Al) maintenance feature called "NovaBOT," the first Al diagnostic tool in the
EV charging industry. NovaBOT can fix certain minor issues that may arise and works alongside the
continuous 15-minute-interval status reports of device health sent to a user dashboard (Attachment
9). Maintenance issues specific to a NovaCHARGE unit beyond NovaBOT's problem solving
capabilities would be handled by NovaCHARGE staff. Maintenance issues specific to a unit's
supporting infrastructure would be handled by City Staff.
The total project quote is $108,912.94 (Attachment 10) and includes all materials, infrastructural
upgrades and installation. A draft sales agreement is included (Attachment 11). Each charging
station is covered by a four (4) year warranty, with an optional one-year extension for $170 per
station. Staff recommends Council approve the one-year warranty extension as part of this overall
project approval. The NovaCHARGE warranty policy covers the entire replacement of each unit

(Attachment 12). All new stations will receive a "Cape Canaveral" customized faceplate at no cost
(Attachment 13) for branding recognition and continuity, as these will be City -owned assets.
Funding Sources. Four of the six new charging stations will be located within the CRA (i.e.,
Canaveral City Park and City Hall). As such, Staff proposes utilizing CRA funds for the installation
of these specific stations, and the general fund for the remaining two stations at Manatee
Sanctuary Park and Banana River Park.
Rate Structure. A Resolution, establishing the rate structure, will be presented for Council
consideration at an upcoming Regular City Council meeting. Establishing a rate structure requires
research into the current EV Charging Market. At this time, the market is not saturated and is
expanding, which means future competition will influence future rate structures. A competitive EV
charging rate structure analysis will be included with the Resolution agenda item. Any approved
rate structure can be changed by City Council at any time.
Rate Differential For Residents vs Non -Residents. City Council may opt to provide a discount for
residents. The example below illustrates a differential rate structure per kilowatt hour (kWh) for
residents vs non-residents. This rate structure differential is authorized under State law, because, as
described above, rates, terms, and conditions of EV charging services are not subject to regulation
at this time. The charging station software will allow for this degree of customization. For more
information on how a potential fee differential would be implemented, see Attachment 7.
A potential rate structure, with a fee differential, is presented below. Fees collected would be used
to pay for the electricity provided at the stations as well as the maintenance needs of the stations
and related infrastructure. The rate structure can also charge an additional user fee to physically
park in the EV parking space, should Council desire this in the future. The rate structure will need
to include an increased cost after the first five hours to encourage vehicle turnover at each station.
• Potential Residential rates:
- $0.15 per kWh for the first 4 hours
- $0.20 per kWh after 5 hours
• Potential Non-residential rates:
- $0.20 per kWh for the first 4 hours
- $0.25 per kWh after 5 hours
Typically, a full "refuel" for an EV battery pack costs less than that of a full refuel of a traditional gas
or diesel vehicle, and the cost of electricity is less volatile in nature than the cost of gasoline or
diesel. As such, the City assumes minimal risk in the proposed rate structure in terms of the cost of
electricity provided.
Annual revenue generated is a function of the approved rate structure and annual usage. This
revenue is estimated to be at least $71,884.80 (assuming proposed residential kWh rate). For more
financial details, please see Attachment 6. Exact revenues are determined by incremental kWh
service provided, residential vs non-residential usage, and program costs. Attachment 7 indicates
that the operating expenses are currently approximately $10,810.80/year. This amount will vary
from year-to-year; however, with anticipated annual revenue of $71,884.80, the City will more
than cover program expenses. The system's digital dashboard will produce actual expense and
revenue figures in real-time at any time requested. Staff will produce an annual report on program

This is currently not a budgeted item. This item came to light subsequent to the March 2023
Strategic Planning Retreat and cost figures were not available at the time of proposed budget
distribution. This item will require a FY 23/24 budget allocation for the project in the amount of
