Letter
2) Financial Assistance Certifications
Assurance for SF424
The Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program is designed to
assist states, local governments, and Tribes in implementing strategies to reduce energy use, reduce fossil fuel
emissions, and improve energy efficiency. This program received $550M from the Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act (IIJA) and the City of Miami was one of 2,708 state, local, and Tribal governments eligible for a formula
award. The City indicated that it would accept its $477,720 of formula funding in April 2023 via the Pre -Award
Information Sheet. ORS is currently working on narrative materials to support the application. Our submittal is
due April 30, 2024.
The purpose of the EECBG Program is to assist eligible state, local, and tribal governments (collectively referred
to as "eligible entities") in implementing strategies to:
• Reduce fossil fuel emissions in a manner that is environmentally sustainable and, to the maximum extent
practicable, maximizes benefits for local and regional communities;
• Reduce the total energy use of the eligible entities;
• Improve energy efficiency in the transportation sector, the building sector, and other appropriate sectors;
• Build a clean and equitable energy economy that prioritizes disadvantaged communities and promotes
equity and inclusion in workforce opportunities and deployment activities, consistent with the Justice40
Initiative.
The Office of Resilience and Sustainability in coordination with the Depaituients of Resilience and Public Works
and General Service Administration has developed a proposal to use grant funds to purchase electric vehicles
along with their charging infrastructure. As part of this electric fleet demonstration project, a total of six (6)
electric vehicles will be assigned to the Department of Resilience and Public Works and a total of one (1) electric
vehicle will be assigned to the Office of Resilience and Sustainability as 8-hour vehicles. The Office of Resilience
and Sustainability is currently coordinating with the Miami Parking Authority to install up to six (6) Level 2
chargers for these vehicles. We arecurrently exploring the Lot 15 location, at 200 SW lst St., Miami, FL 33130.
This demonstration project will help the City better understand how electric vehicles can be utilized in operations
and navigate their integration at a smaller scale in support of the City's goal to electrify the administrative fleet by
2035.
As part of the EECBG Program Grant application process, the Office of Resilience and Sustainability is
requesting your review and approval of the two (2) documents attached.

6. Description (executive summary of goals and objectives)*
City of Miami will use a portion of its EECBG Program allocation to purchase a total of seven (7) electric vehicles as part of a demonstration
projects which help the city better understand how electric vehicles can be utilized in operations and navigate their integration at a smaller scale in
support of the City's goal to electrify the administrative fleet by 2035.
The budget for this activity also reflects the purchase of a set of four (4) replacement tires for each electric vehicle. Electric vehicles use special
tires to handle the added weight of the battery pack and typically last around 30,000 to 40,000 miles before needing replacement. Manufacturers
of electric car tires make them with extra grip to handle acceleration, so tires must be maintained for safety and more extended wear. Also included
in this activity are any vehicle wraps, messages and city seals that will need to be placed on the vehicles.

6. Description (executive summary of goals and objectives)*
City of Miami will use a portion of its EECBG Program allocation to conduct trainings for current maintenance mechanic staff within the Department
of General Services Administration (GSA). In 2015 there were 580,000 EVs sold worldwide. In 2021 there were 3.5 million EVs sold, and the
projection for sales in 2030 is 40 million EVs. This exponential growth in EV sales has led to an unprecedented demand for technicians who are able
to repair and service these vehicles and install and maintain residential and commercial charging stations.
The program has been developed for adult learners pursuing training through independent study, specifically those interested in improving their
technical knowledge to diagnose, service and repair high voltage EVs and install, design and maintain residential or commercial charging stations.
The EV program consists of 14 modules of interactive curriculum using state-of-the-art simulation software with virtual lab/shop experiments,
combined with videos, animations and real -world practical examples to reinforce the fundamental concepts of EV technology.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive an Electric Vehicle Technician Certificate from George Brown College.

EECBG Program: Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy Template for Local Governments
Local governments must submit a proposed Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS) to the Department of Energy (DOE) to meet the statutory
requirements for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. The proposed EECS must include the information contained in Part A of this
template. Local governments may use this streamlined EECS Template to meet the requirement, but the template is not required. If a local government chooses to
submit an EECS using an alternative format, the information outlined in Part A must be included in the submission.
Local governments have the option of submitting their EECS at the time of application or no later than 1 year after the effective date of the award. If the
latter option is chosen, the EECS should be a comprehensive strategy that covers, at a minimum, all items detailed in this template. DOE will provide informational
resources and technical assistance to support the development of comprehensive strategies.
Local governments that do not submit an EECS with their application must submit an EECBG Program Activity File with their application and select
Activity 1 (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy).

The Electric Vehicles and Fleet Electrification blueprint provides a framework. The City of Miami will accomplish three parts of this framework: develop a
fleet replacement plan which includes internal stakeholder engagement, siting planning and preliminary assessments, and installation of charging infrastructure.
The city has already began to apply this blueprint by engaging with our Resilience and Public Works Department (who will be assigned 6 electric vehicles) to
identify vehicle use case and type as well as clearance requirements. The Office of Resilience and Sustainability will be assigned 1 electric vehicle as well. We
have also engaged with our Fleet Manager to discuss charging infrastructure and location, current City contracts to purchase EVs and training for not only the
drivers of the EVs but also the mechanics who will be working on these vehicles if they require maintenance or repair. This blueprint also helped inform our
budgeting for the EV charging infrastructure.

As stated in our Miami Forever Carbon Neutral Plan, the city has set an objective of electrifying 40% of registered passenger vehicles compared to 2018
levels by 2035 as well as electrifying the city administrative fleet by 2035. With more EVs scheduled to arrive in the market within the next year and car
companies transitioning to all -electric vehicle stocks, demand for charging infrastructure is expected to grow in the coming years. To prepare for this and to
sustain the benefits of the project outlined in this EECBG Program, the city has selected a publicly accessible site for its EV charging infrastructure.
Furthermore, the city will be training its maintenance mechanic staff in preparation for future EV purchases. The proposed EECBG electric vehicle and
charging infrastructure demonstration project will help the city better understand how electric vehicles can be utilized in operations and navigate their

The majority of the City of Miami qualifies as Inflation Reduction Act Disadvantaged Communities. The vehicles that we will be replacing operate citywide and
therefore will reduce tailpipe emissions across the city and contribute to a reduction in air pollution in the city's disadvantaged communities. The location where the
vehicles will be parked and the infrastructure installed is in a Disadvantaged Census Tract: 120860036061. As a result of this funding, the city hopes to learn more
about owning and operating electric vehicles so staff will be empowered to continue to electrify the fleet and reduce emissions and air pollution citywide through
our operations.
