Memorandum
We recommend your approval of the attached resolution authorizing the issuance of a purchase order to Chargepoint Inc. for the purchase of electric vehicle chargers for the Wheeler Center in the amount of $97,718.00. The purchase includes one dual port charger, two express 250 fast chargers and related accessories. These have been requested by Public Works for their water department van that will use the dual port charger and the express 250 fast chargers will support the supervisors that have take home electric vehicles. The fast chargers will also serve as a back-up to the fast charging unit that is in the vehicle storage barn at the Wheeler Center that is for the four Solid Waste EV refuse trucks in case that system breaks down.
Chargepoint Inc. was awarded the contract for EV chargers and related accessories by the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program (contract # 042221-CPI). The City has been very satisfied with the operation and functionality of our existing Chargepoint chargers.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for the purchase of these chargers has been included in the FY25 OSI County Mental Health Millage.
Chargepoint Inc. complies with the requirements of the City’s Conflict of Interest and Non-Discrimination ordinances.
