Electric Vehicle Charging Station Upgrades

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is soliciting bids under solicitation number DEEP102326CM for a consultant to provide review and installation support for upgrading electric vehicle charging stations at four statewide locations. The primary objective is to replace existing units with similar stations that integrate Amp Up wireless software to enable electronic payment processing for electricity used during transactions. The scope of work includes conducting site assessments to document existing equipment and utilities, developing schematic plans for supporting utilities, providing cost and construction timelines, and coordinating system start-up and owner training to ensure full functionality of the public payment capabilities. Bids must be submitted electronically to William Coleman by 2:00pm on November 13, 2026, and must remain valid for 90 days following the closing date. Evaluation by a DEEP representative panel will be based on the contractor's project approach, relevant experience and references, and a detailed breakdown of time and cost. Selected candidates may be required to participate in interviews or presentations. Upon selection, the contractor will negotiate a Purchase Order and Project Agreement to finalize financial terms and responsibilities.
