11 <br /> Electric Vehicle Transition Plan&Charging Infrastructure Evaluation for County Fleet RFQ 367-005463 <br /> Price Proposal December 23,2025 <br /> 1.2 EV Replacement Recommendation: Leveraging outcomes of �� r u I _I <br /> fleet rightsizing analysis as well as other information collected on the U \l, <br /> fleet vehicles, ICF will employ our in-house fleet assessment model Charged by?ll <br /> (also known as PowerGuide Analytics)to analyze the County's <br /> fleets, characterize their operations, and develop tailored recommendations for the transition of fleet <br /> vehicles to EVs (Exhibit 3). ICF's PowerGuide is a robust tool, developed and refined over time for use <br /> with multiple municipal and fleet clients. Originally developed for our partnership with our extensive utility <br /> programs, ICF has continued to improve the tool and the supporting data embedded in the model to assist <br /> almost 200 clients, including more than 100 municipalities, as they developed plans for transitioning their <br /> vehicles, including their specialty vehicles, to EVs. Included in the PowerGuide Analytics is a <br /> comprehensive database of over 600 EV models comprising BEV and PHEV options for light-duty and <br /> MD/HD vehicles. This extensive database enables the ICF team to deliver highly customized fleet transition <br /> recommendations. By using this unique database, the ICF team will conduct an overview of currently <br /> available and forthcoming BEVs and PHEVs that could potentially replace the vehicle types currently used <br /> by the County. The ICF team also has a separate database for fuel cell EVs which it will use for vehicles <br /> where cost-effective EV options might not be available. ICF's EV model library is updated monthly to <br /> capture the latest EV models available and changes to equipment attributes and pricing. <br /> Exhibit 3.

Outputs of the model will include the <br /> following: <br /> • Recommended zero emission technologies (battery <br /> electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles) <br /> • Recommended EV replacement makes and models .. <br /> • Total cost of ownership (TCO), including the upfront y <br /> and lifecycle vehicle costs <br /> • Identification of vehicle types that are least viable for <br /> conversion1 <br /> • Recommended replacement years <br /> • A fleetwide phased vehicle replacement schedule <br /> Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal 4 <br />
