Solar Powered E-Bike Charging Station

The City of Sierra Vista is seeking qualified firms' proposals to build and install a solar powered e-bike charging station that will be placed outside the Sierra Vista Public Library. The City expects to award to the highest ranked proposal based on a set of pre-determined criteria as set forth in this RFP. This purchase is being funded in whole or in part by a Department of Energy voucher and as such will be subject to federal requirements under 2CFR 200.

Electric bikes, electric scooters and the like provide a convenient means of commute with a multitude of benefits such as door-to-door connectivity, low (indirect) emissions, reduced traffic, and parking congestion and a fraction of the energy usage of an electric car. By providing a charging station and powering it with solar energy, e-bikes can be made into a fully sustainable means of transportation.
