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, by Resolution no. 2015-29164. The agreement with Blink was executed on November 2, 2016.

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