This description of commodities or contractual services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with section 287.057(3)(c), Florida Statutes and will remain posted for a period of at least 15 business days.

Quantity or Term (as appropriate): 32 Charging Units and 32 Mounts

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): Derek Vollmer, Traffic Engineering

Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc. requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate): The Florida Department of Transportation’s mission is to provide a safe and efficient transportation system. As part of this, the Department contracts service patrol vehicles to assist motorists. The Department wants to pilot portable electric vehicle (EV) chargers to assist EVs out of charge. The portable EV charger consists of a gas powered generator capable of providing 240V AC charging, 32 amps, and 7.7 kW of continuous power. The portable EV generator includes a charger that is compatible with EVs, with a separate adaptor provided by the end user as needed. The charger can be mounted to and plug directly into the generator, or it can be mounted separately.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): Blink Network LLC

Estimated Dollar Amount: $140,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate): The Blink Charging Unit is a level II portable generator solution that is smaller in size. There are two known smaller units, however, Blink is the the only known unit able to charge a fully discharged EV and provide approximately one mile of range every three minutes. The level III solutions investigated by the

Department were all too large. Blink is the only known vendor with a solution that fits the Department's size and performance requirements.

Approved By: (names & titles, as appropriate to Post on Vendor Bid System (VBS), e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
