Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Equipment Contract Extension Award

The purpose of this paper is to seek approval for the extension of two (2) key agreements with EV charging equipment providers, ChargePoint Inc. and Services FLO Inc. These agreements were initially approved by the Board on December 12, 2022, as an extension of a City of Toronto agreement with the cooperative purchasing organization, Kinetic GPO that was tendered in the fall of 2022 and remains in effect today. The original board approval expired in December 2024, and this request would extend the agreements under the existing City of Toronto tender for an additional two (2) years, with an optional one (1) year extension. As Toronto Parking Authority continues to expand its EV charging network, it is essential to maintain these partnerships to ensure operational continuity, streamlined maintenance, and system compatibility across our infrastructure. No additional funding is required for these extensions. The original contracts, approved by the Board in December 2022, have a total budget cap of $10.6 million (excluding HST). To date, $3.1 million has been expended, leaving a remaining balance of $6.85 million before reaching the approved limit. The value of both contracts will continue to be capped at $10.6 million, ensuring fiscal responsibility while supporting the continued expansion of Toronto Parking Authority's EV charging infrastructure.

of Directors of Toronto Parking Authority provide authority to the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to extend the EV Charging Equipment Purchase Agreement effective December 12, 2022, with Services FLO Inc., for an additional term of two (2) years plus an additional one (1) year option at Toronto Parking Authority's sole discretion.
