This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is actively seeking proposals from qualified electric vehicle charging station distributors/operators/manufacturers to install, operate, and maintain Alternating Current (AC) Level 2 and/or Direct Current (DC) Fast Charge (high-current charging) electric vehicle charging stations for the City of Miami Beach Parking System, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in the RFQ. Scope and cost proposals should not be submitted and will not be considered as part of this RFQ. The City may negotiate with the bidder(s) deemed, in the City's sole discretion, to be best qualified for scope, terms and cost/revenue of an agreement for electric vehicle charging stations. The City intends to enter into a non-exclusive contract for the installation, operation, and maintenance of self-service AC Level 2 and/or DC Fast Charge electric vehicle charging stations for public use in municipal parking facilities, including but not limited to parking garages and surface lots. The City will negotiate with the selected Proposer(s) a program that would enable the public to utilize AC Level 2 and/or DC Fast Charge electric vehicle charging stations that are open to all drivers without requiring a subscription. Services would be provided on a 24-hour, 365-day-a-year (full-time) basis with sufficient resources and personnel to successfully support and maintain the program. The City wishes to preserve flexibility for itself in maintaining/expanding its EV charging station program.
