JACKSON, Wyo. — In an effort to expand electric vehicle (EV) services, the Town of Jackson issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking information on EV charging infrastructure, models and technology. The deadline for submissions is Monday, July 7 at 10 a.m.
The Electric Vehicle Charging and Fueling Infrastructure, Technology and Management RFI states that the Town intends to install 20 new EV charging stations on Town-owned property in five different locations. Of the new stations, four will be Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) stations, and 16 will be Level 2 (L2) charging stations.
“The Town seeks information from qualified vendors and experts to help us better understand the technology that is available for both types of chargers,” the Town of Jackson wrote in the RFI.
The Town of Jackson invites interested parties to share information on EV charging station software, pricing mechanisms, management practices and limitations, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility, discount programs, smart charging (grid communication systems) and artificial intelligence (AI) to support EV charging.
The Town wrote in the RFI that it is particularly interested in reducing emissions associated with the consumption of electricity by EV charging stations, such as reducing charging during periods of peak demand. The Town is also interested in user fee practices “that are fair to residents who are unable to charge their vehicles at home.”
The Town of Jackson notes that responses will be used solely for information and planning purposes. According to the Town of Jackson, a future Request for Proposals will seek proposals from firms to complete design plans for the charging stations, submit National Environmental Policy Act paperwork, install the new charging stations and lease and manage existing and new charging stations.
Information must be submitted in PDF format to clerk@jacksonwy.gov. For those with questions, contact Tanya Anderson at tanderson@jacksonwy.gov.
