Flo Core+19. 2KW EVEO

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is conducting a competitive procurement through Invitation for Bid (IFB) PC236113 to purchase eight Flo Core+19.2KW Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations for public locations. The procurement specifically requires eight CoRe+ MAX 19.2kW Stations, eight Communication Gateways on American LTE networks, eight Cable Management Systems, three ADA Pedestals with Access Door Locks, eight 5-year prepaid Flo Software licenses, and eight 5-year FLO Performance warranties. The solicitation is for product only, with no installation required, and focuses on charging stations that are both pedestal and wall-mounted. Evaluation criteria include responsiveness to mandatory specifications, with a pass/fail procurement process where bidders must precisely meet equipment order numbers and locations without product substitutions. Key dates include a bid submission deadline of May 16, 2025, an anticipated Apparent Successful Bidder announcement on May 20, 2025, and a contract award date of May 27, 2025. All goods and services must be received by June 30, 2025, with invoices submitted by July 15, 2025.

The procurement includes voluntary goals for diverse business participation, with targets of 6.6% for Washington Small Businesses, 1.47% for Veteran-Owned Businesses, and 3.54% for Minority and Women's Business Enterprises. Bidders will receive additional procurement preferences, including 5 points each for Executive Order 18-03 compliance, Washington Small Business status, Certified Veteran-Owned Business certification, and PCB-Free Products. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bid from a small business or veteran-owned business, with an estimated total value under $150,000. Historically, similar annual contracts have totaled approximately $19,855, though WSP does not guarantee a minimum purchase amount. Bidders must complete comprehensive documentation including a Bidder's Profile, Bidder's Certification, and a voluntary Diverse Business Inclusion Plan. The contract term can extend up to sixty months, with potential pricing adjustments for inflation if future purchases are required, and all vendors must verify they are not debarred or suspended from federal contracting by checking the SAM.gov database.
