<br />Electric Vehicle Transition Plan & Charging Infrastructure Evaluation for County Fleet <br />Price Proposal <br />RFQ 367-OC5463 <br />December 23, 2025 <br /> <br />Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal 2 <br /> <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) <br />• Vehicle fuel type <br />• Make, model, model year <br />• In-service year <br />• Average and maximum daily mileage <br />• Payload <br />• Fleet operation logistics <br />• Current odometer reading <br />• Current fuel costs <br />• Current maintenance costs <br />• Estimated service life <br />• Operating radius <br />• Specialty use cases <br />• 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 Information <br />• Current parking location and ownership <br />(leased/owned) <br />• Layout of the depot (AutoCAD) <br />• Electrical capacity <br />• Last 12 months of utility billing and usage data <br />• Information on any existing/planned electrical <br />upgrades <br />• Current fueling site (if any existing ZEV infrastructure) <br />• Maintenance practice <br />• Single line diagrams <br /> <br />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 />understanding specific duty cycles (e.g., daily mileage, idling hours, use of PTOs, dwelling <br />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.
