REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) - 2024CARB_ ACC II-RFI002 - Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) II ZEV Regulation Tracking System

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the development of an Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) II ZEV Regulation Tracking System. The purpose of this system is to provide a comprehensive solution for tracking and reporting zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) compliance across multiple jurisdictions, including California and 177 other states that have adopted the ACC II regulations. The system aims to enhance data verification processes and contribute to the success of the ACC II program in reducing emissions from passenger cars and light-duty trucks. CARB is seeking information, suggestions, and best practices from vendors on the technical resources available to develop this system, which should include features such as a single web interface for participant registration, ZEV account management, reporting, and administration, as well as integration with CARB's existing databases. Key dates for this RFI include the release on 07/16/2024, the last day to submit questions on 08/02/2024, the release of answers and/or addenda on 08/09/2024, the optional intent to respond due on 08/14/2024, and the RFI response due on 08/23/2024.

This RFI is solely for information and planning purposes, and no contract will be awarded based on it. CARB has indicated that the budget for the ACC II ZEV Regulation Tracking System includes operations and maintenance costs, and that a dedicated, full-time Product Owner will be assigned to the project. The State is requesting rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimates from vendors for various components of the proposed solution, including system design, development, testing, documentation, training, and maintenance. CARB has also provided details on its existing .NET applications, code, and UI standards that could be used as a basis for the new system, but the State does not anticipate using existing patterns or processes from the 15 states that have already adopted California's current ACC I ZEV regulations.
