... 85 PHASE 5 FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT 5.1 Overview After selecting the fueling infrastructure method and technology, you will need to complete the necessary activities to design and deploy your infrastructure. Infrastructure deployment is critical for bus acceptance and is one of the more complex phases of deployment, requiring time and coordination with stakeholders.
From page 86...
... 86 Guidebook for Deploying Zero-Emission Transit Buses 5.2 Key Stakeholder Considerations Project Managers • Ensure infrastructure deployment and upgrades to maintenance facilities are completed prior to bus acceptance for proper testing and validation of the buses. • Create a realistic project timeline, allowing for the continued coordination of stakeholders, a formal bidding process, facility and power supply upgrades, design and construction, and commissioning of the station prior to bus delivery.

... Fueling Infrastructure Deployment 87 5.3 Fueling Infrastructure Deployment Overview While the complexity of the process can vary depending on the technology chosen and scale of the project, the infrastructure deployment steps are similar for BEB and FCEB fueling installations. The time and effort associated with this phase of deployment poses significant risk to project schedules and is often on the critical path for successful bus deployments.
From page 88...
... 88 Guidebook for Deploying Zero-Emission Transit Buses • Operations, maintenance, and facility managers should be consulted to evaluate any potential operational impacts of possible fueling solutions and ensure the selected site(s) allow for easy bus access, maintenance, and scalability.

... Fueling Infrastructure Deployment 89 5.5.1 HydrogenFueling Stations For hydrogen fueling station site selection, transit agencies should consider how the hydrogen is produced and delivered when identifying potential site locations. Consideration should be given to the area required for fueling infrastructure as well as options for scalability.

... Fueling Infrastructure Deployment 91 5.6 Design Unless your transit agency has extensive experience in designing hydrogen fueling stations or charging stations, hiring an engineering firm to design the fueling solution, permitting, and oversight of construction is suggested. Competitive procurement requirements can add additional time to the project schedule.

... 92 Guidebook for Deploying Zero-Emission Transit Buses Interim deliverable reviews should be scheduled with the design team (e.g., at 30%, 60%, and 100% drawings) to ensure that the project is on track.
From page 93...
... Fueling Infrastructure Deployment 93 • Conduct a facility assessment by comparing the record drawings of your facilities to how the facility was actually constructed. • Conduct an air balance test of the existing ventilation system to confirm that the exhaust fans are operating at the necessary rates.
