40 <br /> Electric Vehicle Transition Plan&Charging Infrastructure Evaluation for County Fleet RFQ 367-005463 <br /> Response to Request for Qualifications November 5,2025 <br /> Team Member Qualifications <br /> At the heart of ICF's success is a leadership team that combines strategic vision with deep technical <br /> expertise in fleet electrification and infrastructure planning. Stephanie Kong, PhD, serves as Project <br /> Manager and brings nearly a decade of experience in clean transportation policy, emissions modeling, and <br /> zero-emission vehicle strategies. She has led major municipal fleet transition projects, including the City of <br /> Wilmington's electrification plan, and previously guided large-scale programs for Los Angeles County. <br /> Stephanie's ability to integrate technical rigor with practical implementation ensures Orange County's <br /> roadmap will be both ambitious and achievable. <br /> Supporting her is Duncan Crowley, EIT, the Deputy Project Manager, whose background in engineering <br /> and hands-on experience with EV charger siting and utility coordination make him indispensable for <br /> infrastructure planning. Duncan has led electrification efforts for municipal fleets across the United States, <br /> leveraging his expertise in construction feasibility and grid readiness to deliver cost-effective solutions. <br /> Providing strategic oversight is Sam Pournazeri, PhD, PE, a nationally recognized expert in zero-emission <br /> transportation. With over 15 years of experience, Sam has directed fleet transition initiatives for cities such <br /> as Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Raleigh. His leadership ensures that Orange County's plan aligns with best <br /> practices, emerging technologies, and fiscal responsibility. <br /> The team also includes specialized task leads who bring targeted expertise to critical components of the <br /> project. Ramon Molina Garcia excels in fleet suitability modeling and telematics integration, having led <br /> similar work for Raleigh, Wilmington and major transit agencies. His insights will ensure Orange County's <br /> fleet evaluation is grounded in operational realities and optimized for cost-effectiveness. Ernie Robertson, <br /> formerly with Southern California Edison, offers deep knowledge of electrical infrastructure and grid impact <br /> analysis. His experience in utility-side planning will streamline coordination with Duke Energy and Piedmont <br /> Electric Co-op, mitigating risks and accelerating charger deployment. Finally, Matt Bradley brings direct <br /> municipal fleet management experience from his tenure with the City of Boston, where he implemented EV <br /> adoption and charging infrastructure strategies. His practical understanding of procurement and operational <br /> policies will help Orange County craft a sustainable fleet purchasing framework. <br /> Together, this team represents a rare combination of technical depth, policy expertise, and hands-on <br /> implementation experience. Their collective track record in delivering complex electrification projects for <br /> municipalities ensures Orange County will receive a comprehensive, actionable plan that meets its clean <br /> energy goals and sets a benchmark for sustainability. <br /> In this section, we have included both a summary of our staff bios to emphasize the backgrounds and <br /> experience of this team across numerous similar projects. Additionally, Exhibit 5 highlights the staff <br /> expertise by functional area, demonstrating that as a team ICF has already completed similar scope items <br /> for other clients and is well staffed to complete this work in a timely manner. <br />
