Description
Electric vehicle service equipment (evse) installation, oper Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) Installation Operations and Maintenance The County is soliciting submittals from qualified Contractors to provide pedestal-style dual-port AC level 2 electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) hardware, installation, operations, maintenance, repair, and network services to access EVSE and for management of user access and payments. The proposed effective date of this Contract is August 5, 2024. The selected respondent(s) shall complete installation and implementation within 30 days after County installed supportive electrical infrastructure becoming available. The selected respondent(s) will provide EVSE installation and then EVSE services for a two-year period with two one-year options, for a maximum four-year period commencing upon the date of initial equipment operations and acceptance by the County. Award Date July 29, 2024 Contract Start Date August 5, 2024 The intent of this RFS is to identify a full-service EVSE Contractor that will install and retain ownership of the EVSE upon connection to County-installed supportive electrical infrastructure (i.e. turn-key delivery), and thereafter perform all services to sustain their operation over the term of the Contract. The County expects to pay for electricity used by the equipment, as well as a fixed annual per-unit cost for the lease of the equipment that includes maintenance and other necessary services. The County will consider leasing contracts where the County will receive revenue from user fees minus a payment processing fee. The County will only consider leasing models, sometimes referred to as "Charging as a Service." The County is actively testing EVSE as a pilot project at select parking spaces serving certain County facilities, including the spaces and facility that are the subject of this RFS. As such, the County will require that it be provided information about customer usage, energy consumption, and other information that will later help the County decide whether and how the pilot is successful as well as ways that the provision of EVSE could be improved for any future deployment(s) at other County-owned facilities. The eight (8) parking spaces to be served by the equipment supplied under the terms of this RFS are in a surface parking lot that is open to the public and not access controlled. One (1) of the eight (8) spaces will be designed to comply with minimum Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking space dimensions and striping with "Use Last" signage instead of traditional ADA signage to preserve flexibility to best accommodate the needs of all EV operators.
