Board approves $144,465 CIB allocation to buy four EV chargers for City Hall and Sportsplex
Summary
The Board approved use of CIB funding to purchase four electric vehicle charging stations (three rapid chargers, one Level 2) using a federal/state grant top-up; installations will follow with utility coordination.
The Hammond City Board of Public Works and Safety on March 6 approved a Capital Improvement Board funding allocation of $144,465 to purchase four electric vehicle charging stations from Carbon Day EV Charging.
Dean Button, a city staff member, told the board the city received a grant from the Electric Efficiency Community Block program (described at the meeting as an Electric Efficiency Community Block Grama) in the amount of $133,000 to help fund the chargers. Button said the planned purchase includes three rapid chargers and one Level 2 charger. Two chargers are intended to remain at City Hall and two at the Sportsplex, where the project will replace one existing Level 2 charger and add two rapid chargers.
Button said the allocation covers the procurement of the charging hardware; installation work will follow and require coordination with the local utility (NIPSCO) and additional site work. The board moved, seconded and unanimously approved committing the CIB funds to buy the units.
The transcript does not list an installation timeline, specific purchase order numbers, or final installation costs; Button said the city hired NICE Engineering to perform survey work and that installation details will be addressed in a later phase.
