Request for Proposals - Installation of EV Charging Stations

Background
The City of Suwanee is expanding its publicly-available EV charging infrastructure to enhance accessibility for electric vehicle users. Currently, the city operates two paid Level 2 charging stations at Town Center Park and aims to extend this service to additional parks. The goal is to partner with a contractor for the installation and maintenance of EV chargers at various city facilities, providing dedicated parking spaces for electric vehicles.

Work Details
The contractor will install and maintain paid EV charging stations at several city facilities. The expected locations include:
- Suwanee Creek Park (2 chargers)
- Sims Lake Park (2 chargers)
- Town Center Park (2 chargers - replacing existing)
- Town Center on Main (2 to 4 chargers)
- City Parking Deck at Siena (2 to 4 chargers).

The city prefers a minimum of Level 2 chargers but is open to Level 3 chargers where feasible. The contractor will bear operating costs, including maintenance and technical support, under a revenue-sharing model with the city. Proposers must consider the installation of necessary electrical infrastructure at locations without existing setups.

Period of Performance
The contract period is not explicitly stated in the solicitation but includes key milestones and deadlines related to project implementation as outlined in the proposal requirements.

Place of Performance
The installation will take place at various city facilities in Suwanee, GA, specifically at parks and public spaces designated for EV charging.
