Bike and Scooter Charging Station

Florida SouthWestern State College is procuring a 16-unit solar-powered e-bike and scooter charging station through sole-source justification, with the procurement approved June 8, 2026 and posted June 9. This is a non-competitive procurement — EnerFusion has been identified as the sole vendor meeting all specified requirements.

The scope requires a single integrated charging system with aluminum construction (to withstand Florida's corrosive environment), integrated canopy, solar power capability, and capacity to accommodate 16 units in one configuration without significant modifications. The system must support e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-skateboards. The college's specification analysis evaluated multiple vendors — ScootSpaces, Bikeep, Azure Bikes, Intelligen Energy, KPSE, FalcoQuarter, More4motion, Sunbolt, and Blink OMNIA — and determined that all presented material gaps: competing products typically rely on powder-coated steel construction (unsuitable for corrosion risk in Florida climate), lack solar functionality, lack integrated canopies, or cannot accommodate the 16-unit requirement in a single system. EnerFusion's charging station is the only product meeting all core specifications.

The contract value is $32,395. EnerFusion is located at 1601 Hults Drive, Eaton Rapids, Michigan 48827. The college indicated this is anticipated as a recurring purchase with future buys expected. The procurement justification cites the critical need to prevent e-bikes and scooters from being improperly parked against building exteriors or stored indoors in violation of Housing and campus policies.

Rick Pence, Director of Procurement, and Mat Mason, VP Facilities Planning and Management, approved the sole-source justification on June 8, 2026.
