Description
The City of Wilmington seeks a professional‑services consultant to develop a comprehensive, city‑wide electric‑vehicle (EV) fleet transition strategy.

The project is funded partially by FEMA emergency‑management grant money and must comply with federal cost‑principles, M/WBE participation, and extensive insurance requirements.
