Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan

The City of Pasadena Water & Power Department seeks a qualified consultant with experience in green initiatives to develop a comprehensive Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Plan supporting the City's goal to achieve a zero-emission fleet. The consultant will develop a comprehensive plan establishing vision, goals, and clearly defined actions for investing in zero-emission vehicles and necessary EV infrastructure. The plan shall include a comprehensive examination of the City's current fleet of approximately 800 vehicles and provide a pathway to zero-emission fleet transition that considers unique challenges of municipal fleet operations, including emergency response and natural disaster preparedness.

Key deliverables include electric vehicle infrastructure location recommendations, implementation roadmap for City fleet and employee charging needs, investment strategies, and operating cost analyses to sustain EV charging infrastructure. The plan must address findings from all analyses and recommend policies, programs, strategies, and operational recommendations. The consultant must consider that certain City vehicles may require diverse fuel sources for emergency preparedness and critical operations.

The proposal must address infrastructure placement optimization throughout City facilities, charging network development, cost projections for implementation and maintenance, and integration with existing City operations. The consultant will be expected to provide detailed recommendations on City operations modifications necessary to support the transition to zero-emission vehicles while maintaining emergency response capabilities.

All submissions must include relevant experience documentation, conflict of interest disclosures, technical questionnaires, and compliance with federal contract provisions and HUD requirements. The City will evaluate proposals based on consultant qualifications, experience with similar projects, project approach, timeline, and cost-effectiveness of the proposed solution.
