Off-Grid EV Charging Solution

The City of San Diego, California, is seeking a vendor to provide an off-grid electric vehicle charging solution to support its fleet, workforce, and public charging needs. The agency requires this solution to address several distinct operational challenges, including providing temporary charging for light, medium, and heavy-duty fleet vehicles before permanent infrastructure is installed. Additionally, the solution must augment charging at sites with insufficient onsite load capacity, support emergency field charging for depleted EV batteries, and serve as a backup power source during blackouts to maintain mission-critical services. The scope of work also covers public and workforce charging at leased city facilities where parking lot alterations are prohibited. Furthermore, the agency requires charging capabilities at open-space parking lots with minimal grid services, such as trailheads and sensitive land reserves, or at locations with construction constraints like historical preservation areas. All performance of the work must take place onsite in San Diego, California. Bidders must be located onshore within the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency is establishing a contract period of five years for these services. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the cost, bidders must submit any questions regarding the solicitation no later than June 15, 2026. Responses to the solicitation can be submitted digitally via email or online.
