Division 4 (D4) Modifications to Accommodate Battery Electric Buses as part of the 45 Zero Emission Bus Purchase

As part of the 45 Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) purchase, AC Transit proposes to procure between 20 and 40 Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) that would directly replace the same amount of 40-foot diesel buses to be based at the Division 4 (D4) Facility. The proposed project includes construction of associated infrastructure improvements to the D4 facility located at 1100 Seminary Avenue in Oakland. The new infrastructure improvements would include the installation of additional transformers, switchgears, charging equipment, and the construction of a new concrete deck to accommodate the new overhead charging stations. Overhead charging stations would be fixed on the underside of the overhead deck such that buses can park underneath and connect to the charging unit via pantograph or overhead reel. The proposed project would also include pavement of 110,000 square feet of the approximately 11.5 acres- AC Transit property located at 6235 Tevis Street to accommodate temporary bus parking during construction at the D4 facility. The Tevis Street site would continue to be used for storage after construction. Construction activities are scheduled to begin in January 2021 and expected to complete within 12 months, prior to delivery of the BEBs to the D4 facility.
