9 <br /> Electric Vehicle Transition Plan&Charging Infrastructure Evaluation for County Fleet RFQ 367-005463 <br /> Price Proposal December 23,2025 <br /> Scope of Work <br /> The ICF team will develop a fleet transition plan for the County's vehicles, focusing on zero-emission <br /> replacements tailored to each department's needs. While EVs will be prioritized, other low-emission options <br /> may also be considered. The assessment will cover fleet requirements, available vehicle options, and <br /> necessary charging infrastructure. Below is our detailed work plan based on the Scope of Services. <br /> Task 1. Fleet Evaluation and Transition Strategy <br /> 1.1 Fleet Evaluation: First, the ICF team works with the County's fleet manager and designated <br /> personnel to gather current fleet data through FASTER on the 439 existing vehicles within the <br /> fleet. FASTER data will be gathered and processed, and supplementary information will also be <br /> collected, including: <br /> Vehicle Characteristics <br /> • Vehicle type (e.g., box, utility) • Current odometer reading <br /> • Vehicle fuel type • Current fuel costs <br /> • Make, model, model year • Current maintenance costs <br /> • In-service year • Estimated service life <br /> • Average and maximum daily mileage • Operating radius <br /> • Payload • Specialty use cases <br /> • Fleet operation logistics • Vehicle replacement schedule <br /> The ICF team has strong expertise with FASTER, particularly from our fleet electrification project with the <br /> City of Wilmington. Additionally, to the extent available, the ICF team will work with County staff to collect <br /> data on the vehicle dwelling sites: <br /> Site or Depot • • <br /> • Current parking location and ownership • Information on any existing/planned electrical <br /> (leased/owned) upgrades <br /> • Layout of the depot (AutoCAD) • Current fueling site (if any existing ZEV infrastructure) <br /> • Electrical capacity • Maintenance practice <br /> • Last 12 months of utility billing and usage data • Single line diagrams <br /> M4 We understand there are vehicles with telematics data that will be available to the project <br /> team. Telematics systems collect detailed fleet and vehicle operation information, vital for <br /> 1=4 understanding specific duty cycles (e.g., daily mileage, idling hours, use of PTOs, dwelling <br /> i3ll time), real-world energy consumption (e.g., miles per gallon or kilowatt-hours [kWh]/mile), <br /> driving patterns (e.g., acceleration, deceleration, speed-time trace), and engine operational <br /> characteristics (e.g., maximum torque, engine rpm, and power). Once data becomes available, the ICF <br /> team typically conducts an analysis of the telematics data to extract essential information required for <br /> determining the most cost-effective EV replacement and to inform the EV charging infrastructure planning <br /> in the following tasks. Depending on data granularity, we aim to extract information such as daily mileage, <br /> real-world fuel economy, EV equivalent energy consumption (i.e., how much energy an equivalent EV <br /> would consume for the same type of operation), and vehicle dwelling time and locations. The ICF team <br /> leverages the telematics data for vehicles which have it to gain insights and prioritize the specific duty <br /> cycles that are most appropriate for transitioning to EVs.
