67 <br /> Electric Vehicle Transition Plan&Charging Infrastructure Evaluation for County Fleet RFQ 367-005463 <br /> Response to Request for Qualifications November 5,2025 <br /> Proposal Innovation <br /> ICF's approach to the Orange County EV Infrastructure Study is distinguished by its use of a fully <br /> integrated optimization platform (PowerGuide) that unifies fleet transition planning, charging <br /> infrastructure design, and facility/grid readiness analysis into a single, cohesive workflow. This methodology <br /> represents a significant innovation in the field, where these components are often treated as separate and <br /> disconnected efforts. <br /> At the core of our approach are the PowerGuide Analytics and PowerGuide Charge tools, proprietary <br /> platforms that leverage fleet data, telematics insights, and operational patterns to right-size fleet <br /> electrification and optimize charger sharing across sites. A screenshot from the optimized charging results <br /> tab is included below in Exhibit 13. This tool enables Orange County to move beyond static planning and <br /> embrace a dynamic, data-driven strategy that adapts to real-world conditions and operational needs. <br /> Exhibit 13.
