Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

The Town of Miami Lakes issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the installation, operation, maintenance, and management of self-service electric vehicle charging stations at no cost to the Town. Two proposals were received, and Blink Network, LLC was the highest-ranked proposer. However, their options for charging stations did not align with the Town's "no-cost to the Town" approach, and it is recommended that the RFP be cancelled. The scope of work includes installing, operating, maintaining, and managing electric vehicle charging stations. The key requirements for proposers include having a minimum of three years of experience in installing, operating, maintaining, and managing electric vehicle charging stations, and having a minimum of three references, one of which is from a government entity. • The RFP was issued on July 28, 2022, and the proposal deadline was August 22, 2022. • The Evaluation Committee consisted of Germán Cure, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, Susana Alonso, Principal Planner, and Dario Martinez, General Services Manager. • The Committee evaluated and ranked the proposals based on responsiveness and qualifications. • Blink Network, LLC was the highest-ranked proposer, but their options for charging stations did not align with the Town's "no-cost to the Town" approach.
