Description
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is seeking proposals to install direct‑current fast‑charging (DCFC) electric‑vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at up to eight sites across two tracks – Alternative Fuel Corridor (AFC) sites and Community sites. Each site must provide at least four 150 kW DCFC ports (total site capacity ≥ 600 kW), support both CCS and NACS connectors, be publicly accessible 24/7, and meet ADA requirements. Funding of up to $45 million of federal NEVI formula money will cover 60‑80 % of eligible costs, with the remainder provided by the proposer. Proposals must include a narrative, detailed budget, and environmental checklist, and must be submitted by 23 June 2026. Selected contractors will design, procure, install, commission, and operate the chargers for a minimum five‑year in‑service period, providing ongoing maintenance, uptime reporting, and data submission to FHWA.
• Minimum four DCFC ports per site, each ≥150 kW (≥600 kW total).
• Dual‑connector requirement (CCS + NACS) on every port.
• Up to eight proposals per firm; sites must be within defined AFC distances or meet community‑track spacing rules.
• Funding covers 60‑80 % of costs; proposer must supply the remaining non‑federal share (40 % downstate, 20 % upstate).
• Contract term 5 years with 75 % reimbursement after installation and annual 5 % installments thereafter.
