Council approves design agreement for EV chargers at four city sites, not-to-exceed $224,700
Summary
The council approved a not-to-exceed $224,700 task order with Keller and Associates to design electric vehicle charging sites required by a federal grant; the agreement covers construction design and electrical work for four locations.
The Idaho Falls City Council approved a not-to-exceed $224,700 scope-of-work agreement with Keller and Associates for design of four electric vehicle charging sites, authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute the contract.
Assistant General Manager Steven Gorman (Idaho Falls Power) said the city previously received a grant for EV charging stations at four locations and selected Keller because the firm is on the federal pre-approved list required by the grant and has relevant related work experience.
“This is approval for a task order for Keller and Associates to do the design for these corner sites,” Gorman said, explaining the firm will produce construction and electrical design work, including stormwater and parking integration. He said preliminary site visuals exist but the council was being asked to approve the detailed design phase.
A council motion to accept Keller Associates’ scope of work for a not-to-exceed cost of $224,700 passed unanimously: Freeman (yes); Bradford (aye); Burtonshaw (yes); Damon (yes); Francis (aye); Larson (yes). The clerk recorded the motion carried.
Council members did not add conditions to the contract in the meeting. Staff said the designs will proceed to construction documents; separate procurement and construction phases will follow after design completion and grant compliance.
