54 <br /> Electric Vehicle Transition Plan&Charging Infrastructure Evaluation for County Fleet RFQ 367-005463 <br /> Response to Request for Qualifications November 5,2025 <br /> collected from the County. This is typically a trivial process for light-duty vehicles but incorporates many <br /> criteria for medium and heavy-duty vehicles such as: <br /> • Vehicle body type <br /> • Daily mileage <br /> • Maximum operating range <br /> • Auxiliary power loads <br /> • Towing/hauling capacity <br /> • Use case <br /> ICF will evaluate manufacturer warranties and support for long-term service when recommending vehicle <br /> options. Additionally, ICF will suggest plans for on-site vehicle repair, maintenance, and replacement, <br /> detailing required resources (e.g., tools and equipment) and staffing (e.g., training and certificates)for the <br /> Operations Center Fleet Maintenance Facility. We will identify and recommend the necessary modifications <br /> of current procedures to meet the needs of EVs. This evaluation will cover a range of considerations, <br /> including updates to equipment, adjustments to the layout, enhancements to safety measures, and other <br /> relevant factors, ensuring that the facilities are fully prepared to accommodate the unique requirements of <br /> EVs. Based on barriers and priorities identified through conversation with County staff, ICF will offer further <br /> recommendations to the County, including best practices for risk mitigation during EV adoption. <br /> Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)Analysis: ICF's PowerGuide Analytics also provides us with the <br /> capability to estimate the total cost of owning and operating each replacement vehicle, including upfront <br /> and lifecycle costs as well as the capital and installation cost of EV charging infrastructure. The cost data <br /> embedded in the PowerGuide is informed by Exhibit 9. Example of TCO Analysis <br /> available cost data from manufacturers (both <br /> vehicles and charging manufacturers), $14,000,000 <br /> dealerships, and the data collected from the $12,000,000 <br /> municipality fleets across the country. This TCO My.'' <br /> analysis, as shown in Exhibit 9, will compare $10,000,000 $1,633,157 <br /> the differences in TCO over the service life of $1,859,015 \ $1,427,580 <br /> each vehicle between EV replacements and a $8,000,000 <br /> scenario where the County only replace their $1,166,594 <br /> vehicles with ICE vehicles. The ICF team will $6,000,000 <br /> $2,697,017 647,452. <br /> estimate TCO on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis and <br /> will consolidate these vehicle-level estimates $4,000,000 <br /> into fleet-level transition cost estimates. On top9" <br /> 59 <br /> of this, we add in estimates of additional costs $2,000,000 <br /> like downtime, labor costs to shuttle equipment <br /> for repair and a comparison of residual value to $- <br /> provide critical data that the County needs to $(2,000,000) <br /> plan its budget into the future.
