On July\n31, 2025, the City received two qualified proposals for the project. Upon review, it was\nfound that the proposal amounts exceeded the budget available for the project. As a result,\nstaff is recommending that the City Council reject the proposals that were received and\nauthorize staff to distribute a new request for proposals. Staff will review the scope of the\nwork and the RFP to determine whether the project scope or the number of project\nlocations should be reduced.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council reject the proposals received in response to\nRequest for Proposals No. RFP2M24-17; authorize the distribution of a new Request for\nProposals for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Infrastructure project at various City\nparks; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.\n(M2M25-143)
