On July 8, 2015, the City Commission approved the issuance of Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2015-177-JR, which was awarded to Blink Network Inc. (“Blink”) on October 14, 2015, pursuant to Resolution No. 2015-29164

On November 2, 2016 the City and Blink executed a Concession Agreement for a Self-service EV Charging Station Services Program for the City’s Parking Facilities (RFP 2015-177-JR) (the “Agreement”).

The Agreement grants Blink the right to operate a Program, that includes the installation, operation, maintenance and management of a concession for self-service EV Stations for public use in certain municipal parking facilities (“City Properties”), defined in the Agreement as the “Concession Service Zone”, and delineated in Exhibit “A” to the Agreement.

The parties executed Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, with an Effective Date of September 12, 2018, to add the G11 Garage to the scope of the Agreement. On November 8, 2019, the parties executed Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement to add the G10 Garage to the scope of the Agreement.

The Administration recommends adding the new surface parking lot located at 8100 Hawthorne Avenue (P100) to the list of City Properties delineated in Exhibit “A” to the Agreement, to allow Blink to install, operate and manage additional charging stations at this additional location.

In accordance with Section 2.1 of the Agreement, any modification to the list of City Properties contained in the Concession Service Zone are subject to the prior written approval of the City Commission, in its sole and absolute discretion.
