Turnkey Fleet Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program

The City of San Diego is procuring a turnkey “Charging‑as‑a‑Service” solution to electrify its municipal fleet. The contractor will design, permit, install, own, operate, and maintain EV supply equipment (Level 2 and optional DC fast chargers) at eight mandatory City sites and up to 25 contractor‑selected optional sites. The solution must include a charging management system with automatic load management, integration with the City’s fleet‑management and billing platforms, and guarantee ≥ 97 % charger uptime. The contract is a base‑term of five years with five one‑year renewal options, and the vendor must comply with prevailing‑wage, living‑wage, EV installation training, and EOCP/SLBE requirements. Pricing is submitted via a prescribed Excel schedule (per‑port monthly fee plus $/kWh usage fee with a single escalation rate) and must be competitive with gasoline‑fuel cost equivalents. • Design, permitting, and construction of Level 2 and DC fast chargers with dedicated utility service points and meters. • Operate and maintain the charging network for the contract term, providing monthly performance reports and meeting a 97 % uptime SLA (liquidated damages $100 per charger per day of excess downtime). • Deliver a software platform that integrates with City systems (EnergyCAP, Geotab, OKTA SSO) and supports load‑management and data reporting. • Source 100 % renewable electricity (via utility green‑tariff or on‑site solar/BESS) and optionally provide on‑site storage. • Meet all labor, wage, and equal‑opportunity certifications; achieve SLBE/ELBE participation for up to 12 % evaluation bonus.
