Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking a professional‑services consultant to develop a comprehensive, citywide electric‑vehicle (EV) fleet transition strategy. The scope includes a full evaluation of the existing municipal fleet (~700 items), right‑sizing, creation of a phased EV purchase schedule to meet 50 % EV by 2035 and 100 % by 2050, charging‑infrastructure planning with grid impact analysis, drafting a sustainable fleet purchasing policy, and delivering a final report with presentations. The work must align with the city’s GHG reduction target of 58 % by 2050 and be funded in part by FEMA grant money, requiring compliance with federal cost‑principles and various regulatory mandates.
• Deliverables: fleet evaluation, transition schedule, charging infrastructure plan, policy recommendation, final report & stakeholder presentations.
• Must consider emerging technologies (V2G, battery storage, solar, micro‑grid) and coordinate with Duke Energy Progress.
• Evaluation criteria emphasize methodology, relevant government experience, team qualifications, price, and MWBE participation.
