On Call Electric Vehicle (EV) Consultant Services

The City of Hartford is establishing an on‑call professional‑services contract to provide electric‑vehicle (EV) consulting to support municipal and Hartford Public School sustainability initiatives, fleet electrification, charging‑infrastructure planning, grant acquisition, policy development, and related reporting. Consultants will be called upon via task orders to perform feasibility studies, develop strategic plans, produce technical specifications, assist with grant applications, coordinate with utilities, and deliver stakeholder outreach and performance‑monitoring reports. The contract is a one‑year base term with up to three one‑year extensions or short month‑to‑month extensions, and the City expects qualified firms with experience in EV planning, energy systems, and public‑sector consulting. • Conduct EV readiness assessments, fleet electrification analyses, and charging‑infrastructure design recommendations. • Identify and prepare grant proposals (e.g., NEVI, utility rebates) and manage compliance reporting. • Provide policy guidance, stakeholder coordination, community outreach, and periodic performance reporting.
