1. PURPOSE, AUTHORITY, AND REFERENCES

Pursuant to Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) Titles 3, 11, and 15, the Seattle Department of Transportation (“SDOT”) Director (“Director”) establishes the following pilot permitting requirements for installing and operating electric vehicle (“EV”) supply equipment (“EVSE” or “EV charging infrastructure”) in the public right-of-way.

1.1 BackgroundTransportation pollution is over two thirds of Seattle’s carbon footprint. Thanks to carbon-neutral electricity from Seattle City Light, each gallon of oil which is replaced with electricity is a 100% reduction in carbon pollution.

In early 2016, Mayor Murray announced Drive Clean Seattle, a major new transportation initiative to tackle climate change at the local level and take meaningful action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Drive Clean Seattle is a comprehensive plan to electrify transportation at scale and set us on a path to transition away from oil.

In the Fall of 2016, the Mayor and the City Council confirmed their commitment to transportation electrification by passing the Drive Clean Seattle Resolution, calling for significant reductions in oil use in the city. Among other target objectives, the City set a goal that 30% of light duty vehicles registered in Seattle should be electric by 2030. To accommodate the growth in EVs, the City is:

• Making significant investment in public EV charging infrastructure; and

• Developing policies to accommodate charging infrastructure for people of all walks of life, living in a diversity of housing types, charging their vehicles at home or in the public right-of-way, and using a shared or owned vehicle.

To accomplish this, SDOT will allow public and private EV charging infrastructure providers to install publicly-available EV charging infrastructure during a pilot phase in 2017 and 2018. The Electric Vehicle Charging in the Public Right-of-Way Public Space Management Renewable Permit Pilot (“EVCROW Permit Pilot” or “Permit Pilot”) phase will start on July 13, 2017 and end on or before December 31, 2019. Any company or public agency interested in installing EVSE in Seattle during this pilot phase will need to submit the appropriate permitting applications to SDOT demonstrating that they meet the base requirements for siting, construction, and installation. SDOT will review applications and issue the construction and Permit Pilot permits if all the requirements are met.

During the pilot phase, SDOT will assess the permitting process, installation challenges, and EV charging behavior in advance of developing a permanent Street Use permitting program.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY (EVCROW) PROGRAM | 5

1.2 PurposeThe following describes the requirements and underlying set of principles and requirements that applicants shall meet when applying to install EVSE in the public right-of-way. The EVCROW Permit Pilot will establish guidelines for EV charging on non-residential streets within Urban Centers and Urban Villages and commercial streets outside of Urban Centers and Urban Villages. This Permit Pilot is the first step in a multi-step process to develop right-of-way charging policies city-wide. Seattle curb space policies prioritize allowing EV spaces for short-term and shared-use as opposed to long-term vehicle storage on right-of-way in commercial and mixed-use areas. SDOT will evaluate the pilot permit program and update permit program requirements, as necessary.

1.3 Administration, Interpretation, and EnforcementSDOT’s Street Use Division (“Street Use”) and Transit and Mobility Division (“Transit and Mobility”) administer, interpret, and enforce the EVCROW Permit Pilot under the authority of the SDOT Director. The SDOT Director may revoke one or more EVSE permitted for installation in the public right of way with 30 days’ notice. The SDOT Director may also require individual permitted EVSE to be temporarily or permanently decommissioned as a result of a construction project or an emergency shutoff.

1.4 Permits for EVSE Installation in the Public Right-of-WaySDOT permits shall be obtained before any installation or use of EVSE in the public right-of-way. Applicants will be assigned a EVCROW application coordinator and application checklist to aid progress through permitting. To install EVSE in the public right-of-way, the applicant shall obtain a Public Space Management Renewable permit for the long-term use of the right-of-way and a construction permit for the installation of the infrastructure from SDOT’s Street Use Division. A complete set of application materials is required and the permit application materials shall be approved before any permit is issued and work can begin. Contact Street Use for the specific requirements based on type and extent of work. An electrical permit from the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections is required to establish an electrical connection to each new EV charging station unit. The applicant must also complete a service connection application with Seattle City Light, as well as a meter hooding permit from Seattle Department of Transportation (if infrastructure will be installed in a paid parking area).

1.5 EquityIn partnership with the Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment, SDOT will evaluate the racial equity benefits to and burdens on communities of color, immigrants, refugees, people with low incomes and limited-English proficiency individuals due to charging stations permitted through this Permit Pilot. This evaluation will allow for the City of Seattle to more fully understand how the availability of publicly-accessible EV charging affects the City’s environmental justice, racial equity, and equitable development goals and to develop policy and programmatic actions to advance these goals.

unpaved, gravel streets).

3.1.3 EVSE along bike lanes or protected bike lanes: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way may be located along current bike lanes (unless that bike lane is planned to be upgraded to a protected bike lane) or protected bike lanes, as designated in the 2012 update of the Bicycle Master Plan.

3.1.4 Locations to avoid: EV charging infrastructure providers should avoid siting EVSE at locations that may interfere with bus layover, may interfere with bus layover or festival streets. Applicants should consider “around the corner” solutions in major thoroughfares to reduce potential traffic conflicts.

3.2 Siting allowancesSDOT seeks to minimize permanent installations in the public right-of-way and as much as possible, minimize the EVSE footprint and avoid removing vegetation.

3.2.1 Furniture zone: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way may be constructed in the furniture zone of the sidewalk with permission and approved permits by the relevant City departments.

3.2.2 Buffer zone of protected bike lane: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way may be constructed in the protected bike lane buffer zone upon review by the Transportation Operation Division and approval by the Director. This is to ensure EVSE charging cables will not interfere with safe operation of the adjacent bike lane.

3.1 Location allowancesThe following siting criteria govern where EV charging infrastructure may be located in the public right-of-way, subject to final approval and permitting for specific locations (per the Attachment 1).

3.1.1 Urban Centers and Urban Villages: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way may be located in designated Urban Centers and Urban Villages, except:

• On residential local access streets, adjacent to parcels zoned as single-family;

• Along current or planned transit priority streets where EV charging infrastructure may obstruct an existing or future transit-only lane or business and transit (BAT) lane, as designated in the 2016 update of the Transit Master Plan;

• On peak-period restricted parking block faces;

• On public alleys; or• On any unimproved public streets, for

example unpaved, gravel streets.

3.1.2 Commercial zoning frontage outside of Urban Centers and Urban Villages: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way may be located along commercial zoning frontage outside of Urban Centers and Urban Villages (including NC1, NC2, NC3, C1, and C2), except:

• Along current or planned transit priority streets where EV charging infrastructure may obstruct an existing or future transit-only lane or business and transit (BAT) lane, as designated in the 2016 update of the Transit Master Plan;

3.2.3 Street tree protection: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way shall be constructed within a protected distance from street trees. Coordination with the City Arborist shall be required during Transit and Mobility Division review when EV charging infrastructure is proposed to be located within 10 feet of a tree.

3.2.4 Lighting: EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way should be constructed on block faces with street lighting. The Transit and Mobility Division will provide guidance during site review.

3.2.5 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance: SDOT intends to guide infrastructure providers to site, design, and construct EV charging infrastructure in the public right-of-way so that people with mobility impairments can safely and comfortably navigate the sidewalk, consistent with the United States Access Board’s Proposed Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way.

Below are minimum accessibility requirements for the EVCROW pilot that will be enforced for all EV charging infrastructure and the parking spaces it services. SDOT retains the right to modify and add accessibility requirements for each site due to unique site factors including presence/absence of sidewalk, space availability, and traffic considerations.

GROUND SPACE REQUIREMENTS• Clear ground space for access to operable

controls• 30"*48”clear ground space provided

adjacent to operable controls and equipment

• 36" clear width accessible route to operable controls

*Curb space is not counted toward these measurements

PEDESTRIAN CLEAR ZONEA minimum pedestrian clear zone for pedestrian mobility must be maintained within all sidewalks.

The minimum width dimension for the pedestrian clear zone is 6-feet in most of the city and 8-feet downtown. Additionally, structures, including EV charging infrastructure, must be setback a minimum of 1-foot from the edge of the pedestrian clear zone.

REACH RANGE REQUIREMENTS• Operable controls located at 48" max height• No reaching obstructions greater than 10"

for any operable controls

ADDTL REQUIREMENTS• Minimum 8' wide parking lane on an

arterial street with a bus lane or bike lane• Location of stations in a generally flat area

3.3 Project coordinationWe encourage applicants to review the list of upcoming projects in the City’s freight, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian master plans and our Capital Projects Dashboard, available on the Seattle Department of Transportation website. Applicants will coordinate with SDOT’s Street Use Division Project Construction Coordination Office to convey conflicts with pavement moratoria (see www.seattle.gov/transportation/stuse_rowopen.htm), SDOT’s Maintenance Operations Division to determine future paving project conflicts, and Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections to mitigate conflicts with permitted construction projects (see www.seattleinprogress.com/). Applicants shall also work with Seattle City Light to assess preliminary utility locations to avoid conflicts that might increase project complexity.

3.4 MeteringEV charging infrastructure, including all auxiliary loads, shall be metered in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Seattle City Light’s Requirements for Electrical Service Connection. The Applicant shall work with Seattle City Light to identify the appropriate metering approach to satisfy electric service connection requirements, while minimizing metering’s physical footprint on the public right of way.

Attachment 2: Insurance Requirements for Privately-Owned Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Providers

Each privately-owned electric vehicle charging infrastructure provider (Provider) shall maintain continuously throughout the entire term of the permit, at no expense to the City, the following insurance coverage and limits of liability:

A. STANDARD INSURANCE COVERAGES AND LIMITS OF LIABILITY REQUIRED:

1. Commercial General Liability (CGL) written on an occurrence form at least as broad as ISO CG 00 01, with Minimum Limits of Liability:

$1,000,000 per Occurrence$2,000,000 General Aggregate$2,000,000 Products/Completed Operations Aggregate$1,000,000 Personal/Advertising Injury Liability

Coverage shall include: Premises and Operations; Personal Injury and Advertising Liability; Independent Contractors; Severability of Interest Clause; General Aggregate Limits of Insurance shall apply separately; “Claims Made” and “Modified Occurrence” policy forms are not acceptable.

2. Umbrella or Excess Liability “follow form” insurance over primary CGL insurance limits, if necessary, to provide total minimum limits of liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, $4,000,000 aggregate. These required total minimum limits of liability may be satisfied with primary limits or any combination of primary and umbrella/excess limits.

3. Automobile Liability insurance for owned, non-owned, leased or hired vehicles, as applicable, written on a form CA 00 01 or equivalent WITH MINIMUM LIMITS OF LIABILITY OF $1,000,000 CSL.

C. CITY AS ADDITIONAL INSURED; PRODUCTS-COMPLETED OPERATIONS: Provider shall include “the City of Seattle” as an additional insured to all of the insurance coverage listed above on a CG 2012, CG 20 26 or equivalent; which must also be as primary and non-contributory with any insurance or self-insurance coverage or limits of liability maintained by the City, and in the form of a duly issued additional insured endorsement and attached to the policy or by the appropriate blanket additional insured policy wording, and in any other manner further required by Contractor’s insurance coverage to provide the City of Seattle additional insured coverage as set forth herein.

D. NO LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Insurance coverage and limits of liability as specified herein are minimum coverage and limit of liability requirements only. Nothing in the City of Seattle’s requirements for minimum insurance coverage shall be interpreted to limit or release liability of the Provider or any of the Provider’s insurers. The City shall be an additional insured as required in paragraph C. regarding the total limits of liability maintained, whether such limits are primary, excess, contingent or otherwise.

Page 18: Seattle Department of Transportation ELECTRIC VEHICLE … · 2019. 1. 4. · level and take meaningful action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Drive Clean Seattle is a comprehensive

18 | SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

E. REQUIRED SEPARATION OF INSURED PROVISION; CROSS-LIABILITY EXCLUSION AND OTHER ENDORSEMENTS PROHIBITED: Provider’s insurance policy shall include a “separation of insureds” or “severability” clause that applies coverage separately to each insured and additional insured, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability. Provider’s insurance policy shall not contain any provision, exclusion or endorsement that limits, bars, or effectively precludes the City of Seattle from coverage or asserting a claim under the Provider’s insurance policy on the basis that the coverage or claim is brought by an insured or additional insured against an insured or additional insured under the policy. Provider’s failure to comply with any of the requisite insurance provisions shall be a material breach of, and grounds for, the immediate termination of the Contract with the City of Seattle; or if applicable, and at the discretion of the City of Seattle, shall serve as grounds for the City to procure or renew insurance coverage with any related costs of premiums to be repaid by Provider or reduced and/or offset against the Contract.

F. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION: The above checked insurance coverages shall not be canceled by Provider or Insurer without at least 30 days written notice to the City, except 10 days’ notice for non-payment of premium.

G. INSURER’S A.M. BEST’S RATING: Each insurance policy shall be issued by an insurer rated A-: VII or higher in the A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless a surplus lines placement by a licensed Washington State surplus lines broker, or as may otherwise be approved by the City.

H. EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE: Provider must provide the following as evidence of insurance:

a) A certificate of liability insurance evidencing coverages, limits of liability and other terms and conditions as specified herein. In the “Certificate Holder” field of the certificate of insurance, write “City of Seattle.”;

b) An attached City of Seattle designated additional insured endorsement or blanket additional insured wording to the required insurance policies.

At any time upon the City’s request, Provider shall also cause to be timely furnished a copy ofdeclarations pages and schedules of forms and endorsements. In the event that the City tendersa claim or lawsuit for defense and indemnity invoking additional insured status, and the insurereither denies the tender or issues a reservation of rights letter, Provider shall also cause acomplete and certified copy of the requested policy to be timely furnished to the City of Seattle.

Send certificate and additional insured endorsement to Evan Corey at [email protected].
