CHARGING AND FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE
COMMUNITY GRANT IMPLEMENTATION
ADDENDUM NO. 4
Dear Proponents,
This addendum is issued to reflect the following immediately. It shall be the responsibility of
interested Offerors to adhere to any changes or revisions to the RFP as identified in this Addendum
No. 4. This documentation shall become permanent and made part of the departmental files.
Question No. 1:
Answer No. 1:
Addendum 3 mentions two phases for progress payments - Design and
Construction. In most cases, charging equipment procurement begins at some
point during the Design phase and usually ends before Construction ends. Will
progress payments be allowed in between these two major phases? Equipment
manufacturers most often require down payments, and then full payment is due
net 30 days upon delivery, which will most likely occur several weeks before
Construction ends.
Progress payments can be made monthly as work is completed and verified by
the Project Manager.
Question No. 2:
Answer No. 2:
It is our understanding that only attendees of the pre-bid meeting will be
allowed to submit proposals. If a JV is formed, must all of the JV members
have attended the pre-bid meeting
No. Either firm that attended the mandatory pre-proposal meeting will suffice
and you may submit a proposal as you’ll be listed as a joint venture.
Question No. 3:
During the pre-bid meeting, it was our impression that Ownership of the
charger by the Offeror was optional, but that Operation and Maintenance at a
minimum would be required. In Addendum 3, it states that Ownership and
Operation by the Offeror will be required. It is our opinion, after doing site
analysis on hundreds of potential sites around the country, that required
Ownership could put undue hardship on the Offeror, especially since we were

Answer No. 3:
Question No. 4:
Answer No. 4:
not allowed to select the sites based on potential utilization
forecasts. Electrical utility costs and lack of utilization can often greatly
overcome revenues at EV Charging sites if proper site analysis has not been
performed. Will the County consider Owning the stations and allow the
Offeror to Operate and Maintain?
Santa Fe County prefers, but does not require, Offerors to own, operate and
maintain the EV Charging Stations; however, the County will consider an
alternate proposal that offers to only operate and maintain the
Stations. Offerors, please note that the ranking and scoring of a proposal that
only provides for the operation and maintenance of the Stations could be
affected
To what extent do the Buy America provisions apply? Can you clearly define
the Buy America requirements/criteria we must meet?
See below.
Question No. 5:
Answer No. 5:
Do the Buy America requirements extend to Level 2 chargers? Or do they
apply to Level 3 chargers and material?
Please see above requirements as outline in the CFI Grant Criteria for Buy
America.
Question No. 6:
Answer No. 6:
Do you plan to extend the submission deadline to account for travel, site walks
and designing of each project? And if so, what is the new deadline?
Pursuant to Addendum No. 3, the proposal submission date was extended to
July 27, 2026.
