RFP EM-013-2023: DC Fast Charging Stations – Phase 4 (ROUND 2)

The Efficiency Maine Trust (the Trust) seeks qualified bidders (or teams of bidders) to host, purchase, install and operate public, universal DC “fast chargers” (DCFC) and level 2 chargers to serve electric vehicles (EV) in target areas in Maine. This RFP is a continuation of the earlier “Phase 4” RFP and will target areas in northern Maine and in eastern Maine that were not awarded in the first round of Phase 4. It also adds two new locations that were not eligible for the first round of Phase 4 and includes updated equipment specifications and scoring criteria. The target areas particular to this RFP are consistent with the Maine Plan for EV Infrastructure Deployment published by the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) in July 2022. The Trust will consider bids that propose to serve only one location as well as bids proposing to serve multiple locations.
