Title
Resolution to Approve the Purchase of Thirteen (13) Dual-Port Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and Associated Software from ChargePoint Inc. (Sourcewell - $98,306.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The City of Ann Arbor has set a series of aggressive goals related to climate action and sustainability, including powering all municipal facilities with 100% clean and renewable energy. This initiative led the Office of Sustainability and Innovations to issue an RFP in early 2021 to solicit proposals for the installation of solar arrays at various City facilities. The planning for these systems included the desire for energy storage and EV charging where feasible. Five locations were chosen for EV charging, where the solar designs include solar carports. The locations selected, along with their planned number of EV charging units, include:
* Burns Senior Center - 1 dual port charger (2 ports)
* Fuller Park - 3 dual port chargers (6 ports)
* Veterans Memorial Park - six dual port chargers (12 ports)
* Huron Hills Golf Course - one dual port charger (2 ports)
* Leslie Park Golf Course - two dual port chargers (4 ports)
?
Thus far, ChargePoint chargers have been used exclusively for the City of Ann Arbor, to support public and fleet charging, and the City has been satisfied with the hardware and software provided by ChargePoint. Moreover, ChargePoint Chargers are available on the statewide purchasing contract, available through the Sourcewell Collaborative Purchasing agreement. Through this collaborative, chargers are discounted 20% from direct market purchase.
ChargePoint Inc. complies with the requirements of the City's Conflict of Interest and Non-Discrimination ordinances
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for this purchase is available in the fund balance of the County Mental Health Millage.
