1. Electric and Alternative Fuel Transition Planning for Non-Emergency Vehicles, and Electric Fire Engine The selected vendor will assess the current non-emergency fleet and develop a multi-year transition plan to adopt electric and alternative fuel technologies. While the primary focus is on non-emergency vehicles, the plan should also include preliminary planning considerations for one electric fire engine. The plan must include: • Suitability analysis by vehicle class, route, and duty cycle • Total cost of ownership and emissions comparisons • Alignment with city policies (see Attachment C- “Use of Vehicle Policy,” Attachment D- “Vehicle Purchasing Policy,” and Attachment E- “Eagan Purchasing Policy”) • Phased procurement roadmap and operational impact assessment • An analysis of which fire engine(s) may be suitable for transition based on usage patterns, response types, duty cycles, and the preferred electric engine model identified by fire department leadership 2. Electric and Alternative Fueling Infrastructure Planning and Rightsizing The vendor will conduct a technical and operational assessment of infrastructure needs for selected fuel types, which must include: • Site feasibility assessments and layout plans • Right-size fueling station capacity to meet current and projected non-emergency fleet demand, ensuring recommendations are scalable and cost-effective • Identify charging behaviors, operational patterns, and staff/management expectations that must be addressed to ensure effective use of the infrastructure and successful implementation • Recommendations for on-site vs. off-site fueling options • Compliance with safety standards and environmental regulations • Utility coordination and potential for renewable energy integration • Charging infrastructure for electric fire engine integration 3. Data Tracking and Telematics for Electric and Alternative Fuel Vehicles, and Full Fleet To support performance monitoring and strategic decision-making, the vendor will: • Recommend a telematics system(s) across the fleet, regardless of fuel type • Establish performance metrics including fuel usage, emissions data, mileage, idling, and maintenance trends • Create dashboards and reporting systems for ongoing evaluation and optimization • Ensure compatibility with existing fleet management systems or provide a migration path
