Project Grant

Overview

Grant Description
Award purpose

The project will fund the replacement of diesel yard tractors with approximately 60 battery electric yard tractors.

Construction of electric equipment charging infrastructure with energy load management software to enhance energy efficiency and installation of software equipment to streamline cargo handling operations within the Long Beach Container Terminal (LBCT).

Activities to be performed

The recipient will deploy a fleet of approximately 60 human operated battery electric yard tractors and will install approximately 60 charging stations with supporting electrical infrastructure.

Supporting electrical infrastructure and charging systems will be constructed and deployed in the following locations and over a span of the below indicated area:

Railyard area 2.0.
North Operations & Information Technology (NOIT) building area 0.5.
Marine Operations building MOB area 0.5.
Chassis shop area 0.5.

The project includes the following components:

Component 1: Design and permitting

LBCT will procure the services of a professional engineering design firm to complete the final design of the infrastructure required to support approximately 60 battery electric yard tractors.

Acquisition of required state and local approvals including a harbor development permit from the Port of Long Beach and various permits from the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Component 2: Electrical acquisition switchgear

LBCT will procure electrical switchgear and related electrical power equipment.

Component 3: Equipment acquisition tractors and charging systems

Approximately 60 battery electric human operated yard tractors will be acquired, commissioned, tested, and deployed at LBCT.

Software equipment will be designed to merge with the existing terminal operating system.

Yard tractor operators and maintenance personnel will be trained in both the operation of the battery electric yard tractors and the associated software.

Component 4: Demolition and construction

LBCT will hire a contractor to perform the charging infrastructure site demolition, electrical equipment infrastructure installation, and charging equipment installation.

Each of the approximately 60 battery electric yard tractor charging stall locations will include trenching and any subsequent necessary repaving in order to connect the electrical switchgear to the charging station.

Pavement removal for switchgear foundation pads, charging stall pads, and protective bollards.

Pavement striping for parking and personnel guidance.

Protection bollards for equipment and personnel.

Wheel stops and concrete curbs.

Inductive charging pad or hands-free charging system.

Approximately 60 charging stations and supporting infrastructure will be installed.

The charging stations will be integrated with energy load management software.

Supporting infrastructure for the approximately 60 battery electric yard tractor charging stall locations will include inductive charging pad power supply equipment for multiple pads or hands-free charging systems.

Switchgear for charging pad power supply equipment.

Electrical conduit systems.

Transformer and charging pad power supply equipment foundations.

Pavement replacement at trenching locations.

Component 5: Construction supervision

LBCT will procure the services of a professional engineering firm to provide construction management services.

Component 6: Project management

LBCT will procure the services of a professional engineering firm to provide project management services.

Component 7: Grant management

LBCT will procure the services of a professional services firm to provide grant management services.

Deliverables expected outcomes

Performance measure table from Schedule G, page 14 of the grant agreement.

Greenhouse gas emissions reduced.

Carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions metric tons.

Total carbon dioxide emissions metric tons per year.

Carbon dioxide emissions should be reported for the project study area based on vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) data, fuel consumption data, MOVES, or EERPAT.

Recipients should cite the model inputs or assumptions such as VMT or locomotive fuel consumption reduction in the reported data.

Quarterly.

Cargo volume

Total tons of cargo moved per year (TEUs or short tons).

Cargo volume measures the movement of freight through the project study area.

When applicable, report the total cargo volume and the volume disaggregated by type of freight (containers in TEU and bulk in tons or type of intermodal transport truck or rail).

Quarterly.

Intended beneficiary: City of Long Beach.

Subrecipient activities: None.
