Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC), located in Walnut within Los Angeles County, California, is procuring 49 ChargePoint electric vehicle charging stations (Level 2, 240-volt) to advance sustainable transportation options on its campus. The procurement encompasses 23 dual-port ChargePoint CP6021 stations and 3 single-port CP6011 stations, along with associated hardware, bollard concrete mounting kits, a 5-year commercial cloud plan, a 5-year warranty covering parts and labor, remote technical support and on-site repairs, installation validation services, and station activation and configuration services. The project requires vendors to demonstrate experience with three similar projects completed within the last five years and mandates that vendors be included on Southern California Edison's ChargeReady Program's "Approved Network Provider" list with equipment on the "Approved Product List." Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: 30 points for vendor experience, 30 points for warranty and support services, and 10 points each for SCE ChargeReady program familiarity, timeline/duration, equipment specifications, and coordination with EV charging station installers. The RFP was released on February 28, 2024, with a request for information cutoff on March 12, 2024 at 2:00 PM and proposals due by March 25, 2024 at 2:00 PM. Optional interviews are scheduled for April 15, 2024, with contract award recommendation targeted for May 8, 2024, and the estimated contract term is two years beginning May 15, 2024. Vendors must procure equipment within 45 days of authorization from Mt. SAC and SCE.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational types are documented in the available materials. Vendors must comply with prevailing wage laws, drug-free workplace requirements, and California's Iran Contracting Act certification. The project leverages the Southern California Edison ChargeReady program to address infrastructure upgrade costs and compliance requirements with the Division of the State Architect, with actual installation occurring through a separate RFP process at a later date. Infrastructure improvements include removal of 2,330 square feet of hardened surfacing, installation of 605 linear feet of utility trenches, installation of 1,870 square feet of proposed asphalt and 700 square feet of proposed concrete, installation of a 1,000-amp service CT meter and main switchboard, and installation of a new 500 kilovolt-ampere, 12-kilovolt SCE transformer with 120/208-volt, three-phase service. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents.
