Town of Thompson's Station: Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Make-Ready

The Town of Thompson's Station is soliciting bids for the make-ready electrical and site preparation required to install ChargePoint Express 280 electric vehicle charging equipment at 1513 Thompson’s Station Rd W, Tennessee. The project scope includes permitting, excavation, and the installation of electrical breakers and conduit to support two initial rapid charging dispensers providing 250A and up to 160kW, with additional provisions for two future dispensers. While the contractor is responsible for civil work, including the installation of concrete pads using town-provided templates and the coordination of transformer pads and meter interconnects with MTE, the actual installation, commissioning, and activation of the ChargePoint hardware are excluded from this scope. Key requirements include adherence to the MTE Underground Installation Guide, the ChargePoint Site Design Guide, and various regulatory standards such as the 2018 International Building Code, National Electrical Code, and ADA compliance. Deliverables consist of a detailed project schedule identifying critical path items, comprehensive photo documentation of the construction process, and the completed ChargePoint CPE280 Construction Signoff. Site finishing requirements include specific safety orange and white markings, EV-specific paint and signage, and the use of red dye in concrete duct bank encasements. The solicitation, identified as ITB-2026-0003, was posted on September 18, 2026, with a response deadline of October 8, 2026.
