Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi Tracy, Thanks for working through the Site Host Agreement with EVCS for the Port Townsend Community Center site. As you know, the charging equipment at the Community Center is funded by the ZEVIP 2023 grant (Lead applicant is Energy Northwest). As requested, attached is a draft Site Host Agreement with EVCS for the Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitors Center, which received WAEVCP 2023 funding for fast charging equipment. The Lead applicant for this funding is the Clean and Prosperous Institute. Because they are funded through different programs and different State agencies, there are a couple differences between the Oly Pen Gateway VC site host agreement and the Community Center site host agreement that I need to highlight for you. 1. Number of Chargers and Type WAEVCP funding for the Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitors Center site provides for three DCFCs. Because it doesn't make sense to have slow L2 chargers at this remote location, no 1-2s were applied for at this site. So, reference to 1-2s is removed from Section 2a: Equipment, as well as from the top of Exhibit A on page 16, and the page with sample L2 equipment specs is also removed. 2. Language Regarding Required Connector Types for Fast Chargers Because the funding is from a different source, the language that I added, at the top of Exhibit A on page 16,to be responsive the Commissioners' concerns about NACS connector types is different from the Community Center SHA. Also, because the Department of Commerce is in the middle of its process of contracting with lead applicants for the funding, I don't have an executed contract between Clean and Prosperous Institute and Commerce from which to pull language about required fast charger connector types. Therefore, I have pulled language from page 12 and 13 of the Implementation Manual of the Washington Electric Vehicle Charging Program (WAEVCP), and have validated requirements and language from page 1 of the WAEVCP DCFC Eligibility Resource Guide. See proposed language, shown in track- changes, on page 16. On page 12 of the WAEVCP Implementation Manual, it states that A DCFC must comply with the following requirements to be eligible: • Use the CCS1 connector standard or the NACS connector specification. ■ CHAdeMO connectors are eligible costs but not included for the award cap calculation. ■ *Connector requirements may change to reflect any updates to federal guidelines regarding NACS connectors. Applicants will be notified if a change is proposed. Page 13 of the WAEVCP Implementation Manual speaks to equipment Connector Types • A charger-connector configuration capable of outputting 1-20kW should be considered as L2 (which is the output band for J1772) and a charger-connector configuration capable of outputting at least 100kW should be considered as DCFC (100kW matches the minimum power output requirement for DCFC). ■ Connector requirements may change to reflect any updates to federal guidelines regarding NACS connectors. Applicants will be notified if a change is proposed. From page 1 of the WAEVCP DCFC Eligibility Resource Guide • DCFCs must comply with the following requirements to be eligible: ■ Use the CCS1 connector standard or the NACS connector specification. Please let me know what questions you have. -Lorrie Lorrie McKay, Principal Cyan Strategies On Behalf of Clean and Prosperous Institute 40 cyan strategies GREEN SOLUTIONS FOR OUR BLUE PLANET LORRIE MCKAY 206-683-3210 U EVCS Stay Charged SITE HOST AGREEMENT This Site Host Agreement (hereafter the"Agreement') is effective as of April 29,2024 (hereafter the "Effective Date") by and between EV Charging Solutions, Inc., a California corporation with its principle at 11800 Clark Street, Arcadia, California 91006 (hereafter "EVCS"), and Jefferson County with its principal place of business located at 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend, WA 98368 (hereafter"Site Host').

Site Host may, in Site Host's discretion, offer certain customers free or discounted charging rates, provided, EV Charging Solutions 1 11800 Clark St.Arcadia,CA 91006 1 P 323.400-EVCS(3827)1 www.evcs.com U EVCS stay Charged Page 6 of 20 however, that EVCS will offset any revenue share amounts owed to Site Host by an amount proportionate to the reduction in revenue caused by such discounts. In the event there is a balance owed from Site Host to EVCS as a result of such discounts, Site Host shall remit payment to settle said balance within ninety(90)days of receipt of a request for payment from EVCS. d) In the event Site Host incurs any utility provider assessed incremental demand charges strictly in connection with the operation of the installed Equipment, Site Host shall present these charges, including any support and back-up documentation that substantiates the charges to EVCS, and EVCS shall reimburse Site Host for these substantiated charges within ninety(90) days of receipt of a request for payment from EVCS. e) EVCS at its sole option will have the right to own the electricity service meter and/or utility service account servicing the Equipment. f) EVCS will use commercially reasonable efforts to install a separate electric meter as allowed by the utility provider at the Property through which electrical costs shall be tracked. In the event EVCS deems installing a separate meter is impractical or uneconomical for any reason,the Equipment shall be connected to Site Host's existing electrical meter. In order to allow EVCS to perform the necessary revenue sharing calculations, and reimburse any electrical costs, Site Host will provide EVCS with a hard copy or electronic/digital copy of Site Host's electricity bills or will allow EVCS to view the bills electronically on an on-going basis. In the event EVCS is unable to obtain copies of the electricity bills, or copies are not provided by the Site Host, then EVCS, in its sole discretion, may either(i)withhold payment until the electricity bills are provided, or (ii) calculate the amount of reimbursement for electricity using information available to EVCS from the administrative panel (i.e., which indicates the amount of electricity that was dispensed by the charger(s)) and then assign, in its sole discretion, a per kWh value that will be multiplied by the amount of electricity dispensed by the charger(s). If EVCS chooses the above second option, then (a) once such calculation is made EVCS shall issue reimbursement for electricity based thereon, and (b) if the Site Host thereafter provides copies of appropriate electricity bills to EVCS, then EVCS will true up the calculation and issue payment for any resulting shortfall for the prior 12 months of activity from the date of electricity bills being submitted to EVCS. g) EVCS will have forty-five(45)days after the end of each calendar quarter,to remit the appropriate revenue share payment to Site Host.The billing cycle will begin on the first day of the quarter and end on the last day of that same calendar quarter.
