Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Montgomery County, specifically the Village of Friendship Heights Village Council, is seeking bids for the procurement and installation of one dual-port electric vehicle (EV) charging station located at 4602 North Park Avenue in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bids process, with proposals due by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, September 29, 2025. Interested bidders must submit their bids and references directly to Julian Mansfield, the Village Manager, via email at jmansfield@friendshipheightsmd.gov. Bidders must be qualified and registered to do business in Maryland and will be required to execute specific affidavits including non-collusion, non-conviction, and non-suspension/disbarment documentation. The bid invitation and specifications are available on the eMaryland Marketplace site and the Village's website, with the Village retaining the right to refuse all bids if none meet their requirements. The procurement will be conducted in compliance with Section 66 of the Montgomery County Code, with the expectation that the successful bidder will enter into a written contract approved by the Village.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget or funding details are provided. The document does not specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement appears to be a straightforward acquisition of a single EV charging station, with the primary qualification being the ability to provide and install the equipment at the specified location. Bidders will likely be evaluated on their technical capabilities, pricing, references, and compliance with the required affidavits and business registration requirements. While no specific award value is listed, the scope suggests this is a relatively modest procurement focused on installing a single dual-port electric vehicle charging station for the Village of Friendship Heights.
