Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment and Related Services Contract Award

To support the delivery and operation of Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure in 2023 and 2024, Toronto Parking Authority is seeking to enter into contracts for the purchase and related services of Electric Vehicle charging stations. These contracts will be entered into directly with Electric Vehicle charging equipment and network operators and will support timely installation and reliability of Electric Vehicle charging stations. Toronto Parking Authority leveraged its membership with Canadian-based cooperative purchasing organization Kinetic GPO to access pre-qualified Vendors of Record for Electric Vehicle charging and related services. Following a review of the master agreements and in consultation with City of Toronto Purchasing and Materials Management and Legal Services divisions, Toronto Parking Authority is recommending that Electric Vehicle charging equipment and related services contracts be awarded to all pre-qualified vendors on the roster: ChargePoint Inc. (ChargePoint) and Services FLO Inc. (Flo). ChargePoint and Flo are both recommended to be included in the Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment and Related Services Vendor of Record Agreement for a two (2) year term. Throughout the duration of the contract, Toronto Parking Authority will issue a Request for Service to acquire goods and services from the vendors listed in the Vendor of Record according to the specific requirements of each project. A secondary evaluation of the Request for Service responses will be conducted by Toronto Parking Authority with a specific vendor identified to provide goods and services for a specific project. Toronto Parking Authority recommends that the total upside limit of this contract award does not exceed $10,618,000 (excluding Harmonized Sales Tax). The funding for these contracts is included in the recent Board approved Toronto Parking Authority 2023 Operating and Capital Budgets and 2023 - 2025 Three Year Capital Plan.
