DCFC Project Modifications: Liberty will make the following modifications in implementing its DCFC Project: Liberty will consider small business clusters and their driving habits as part of their site selection criteria for DCFC Project sites. Liberty will consider: (1) clusters and location of small businesses; (2) local travel patterns of small businesses; (3) availability of other EV chargers; (4) small business community needs in accelerating TE; and (5) other factors Liberty deems specific to the small business sector. Liberty will include the factors considered in making its site selection decisions in its annual report. Liberty agrees to set a nonbinding goal of 15 percent for contracting with small businesses. Liberty will measure contracting participation from small businesses, usage by customer class, any lessons learned from marketing to small businesses, and any lessons learned from small business customer usage of the DCFCs to be included in the annual report. The Settlement Agreement concludes with a statement from Liberty, ORA, SBUA that because of TTD’s procurement of grant funding for two to three Proterra buses, Liberty should be authorized to implement its proposed EV Bus Infrastructure Program. Reasonable in Light of the Whole Record The Commission has a wellestablished policy of adopting settlements if they are fair and reasonable in light of the whole record. In D.0009034, the Commission held that the parties’ evaluation of their respective litigation positions and an appropriate outcome should carry material weight in the Commission’s review of a settlement. The Settlement Agreement dated April 26, 2018 represents the collective best efforts of Liberty, ORA, and SBUA because each party has made concessions that will move Liberty’s proposed PRPs and SRP forward. Liberty’s agreement
