The procurement involves installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure at the CMPD Eastway Division Station, specifically including five Level II Dual Port Chargers, one Fast Charger, and preparation of five additional make-ready locations for future Level II Dual Port Chargers. Bidders must be properly licensed under North Carolina state law and must complete a Restricted Data Confidentiality Form to obtain bidding documents.

The City has established a Charlotte Business Inclusion (CBI) Program with specific subcontracting goals, requiring 9% participation from Minority, Women, and Small Business Enterprises (MWSBE), or alternatively 3% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 6% Small Women Business Enterprise (SWBE). A 5% bid security is mandatory for bids exceeding $300,000, and the engineering estimate for the project ranges from $400,000 to $680,000. The procurement supports the city's environmental sustainability objectives by reducing fossil fuel consumption through electric vehicle infrastructure. Insurance requirements will be outlined in AIA Document A201-2017, and the City reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Notably, the chargers will be owner-purchased and contractor-installed, which provides additional clarity on the procurement approach and responsibilities of the selected vendor.
