Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking a professional‑services firm to develop a comprehensive city‑wide electric‑vehicle (EV) fleet transition strategy. The scope includes fleet right‑sizing, a phased EV replacement schedule targeting 50 % EVs by 2035 and 100 % by 2050, charging‑infrastructure planning, grid impact analysis, and a sustainable procurement policy, culminating in a final report and stakeholder presentations. The work will be funded in part by a FEMA emergency‑management grant and must comply with federal cost‑principles, M/WBE participation goals, and extensive regulatory requirements.
• Evaluate ~700 municipal vehicles, identify candidates for EV conversion, and produce a lifecycle‑cost analysis.
• Design charging locations, assess electrical capacity, and coordinate with Duke Energy Progress, with optional consideration of V2G, battery storage, solar, or micro‑grid solutions.
• Deliver policy recommendations, an implementation roadmap, and up to three revision cycles plus two oral presentations to city officials.
