IFB/CS/EXE/2511-1260076/Clean Heavy Duty Vehicle Infrastructure

The City of Atlanta is seeking qualified firms to procure, install, operate, and maintain Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) infrastructure at four city-owned locations through the federally funded EcoFleet ATL initiative. The project involves replacing seven internal combustion engine vehicles with electric heavy-duty vehicles and installing seven 100 kW+ DCFC chargers with up to fourteen total ports across specific sites including Fleet HQ, DWM RM Clayton, DWM Drinking Water Bureau, and Department of Aviation. Key deliverables include site-specific charger design and construction drawings stamped by a licensed engineer, electrical capacity upgrades, compliance documentation for Build America Buy America (BABA) and Davis-Bacon requirements, remote diagnostics and uptime reporting, workforce training reports, and integration with EV infrastructure. Bidder qualifications mandate successful completion of at least three Level 3 DCFC projects, BABA-compliant EVSE experience, knowledge of OCPP 2.0.1 and OCPI 2.2.1 protocols, and ability to integrate with fleet management platforms. The project work is allocated across five categories: Engineering and Construction (45%), Project Management (20%), Technology Integration (15%), Workforce Training (10%), and Compliance and Documentation (10%). The proposal is due on January 30, 2026, with the opportunity posted on December 30, 2025.

The procurement supports the City's Climate Action Plan and Clean Energy Atlanta strategy, targeting a 59 percent greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2030 and 100 percent clean energy by 2035. Bidders must commit to apprenticeship labor requirements of 15 percent of work hours and provide references from at least two municipal or governmental agencies with successful EV charging project experience. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the project is federally funded through the EPA Clean Heavy Duty Vehicle Grant, which may involve specific compliance requirements. The existing infrastructure requires integration with Geotab or similar fleet management platforms, and coordination with Georgia Power is expected. Though a specific award value was not detailed in the documents, the comprehensive scope and multi-site implementation suggest a significant investment in clean vehicle infrastructure. The project represents a strategic approach to modernizing municipal fleet operations while supporting broader environmental sustainability goals.
