2022 Direct Current Fast Charging Hubs Pilot – Request for Offers (RFO)
The City of San José as administrator of San José Clean Energy (“SJCE”) is soliciting competitive offers for Electric Vehicle (“EV”) Direct Current Fast Charging (“DCFC”) Hub(s) via a pilot program. SJCE is considering entering into a tolling agreement with one or more counterparties for one to three public DCFC hubs located in low-income or disadvantaged communities in San José to increase access to reliable electric vehicle (“EV”) charging. At least one of the DCFC hubs must be located at a site owned by the City of San José (e.g., library, community center, etc.). The Respondent would own the DCFC infrastructure and would be responsible for siting, financing, design, engineering, procurement, permitting, construction, installation, interconnection, operation, maintenance, the Load Management System, and Back Office Services (e.g., communications, user account management, billing, reporting, utility interface applications) at each site in exchange for fixed monthly tolling payments with performance standards on hardware and software uptime. SJCE prefers a contract term of 10 years.
SJCE would provide the energy to the chargers and would retain the right to set EV charging rates and brand the charging stations and hub signage with SJCE branding. SJCE would have all rights to the environmental attributes (e.g., Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits).
Each DCFC hub should contain parking spaces to accommodate exactly 10 vehicles and 10 charging ports. Each DCFC hub should be accessible 24/7 for public use. Chargers must either be capable of delivering 1/at least 100 kilowatts (“kW”) if unpaired or 2/60 kW and be able to deliver at least 120 kW if power is shared.
