Dear Mr. Alvarado:
At its May 25, 2021 meeting, the Board of Public Works approved the request to rescind
the award for the above referenced bid due to City Administration’s determination to put the

discussions regarding investment in Electric Vehicle infrastructure.
Please call this office if you have further questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/ Anne Fuchs

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
DIVISION OF ENGINEERING
TO: Anne Fuchs, Clerk
Board of Public Works
FROM: Finn Cavanaugh, Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Rescind Bids Memo 120-044R Ignition Park EV Charging Lot
DATE: May 18th, 2021
Dear Board of Public Works,
City Administration has decided not to move forward with the Ignition Park EV Charging
Station Project (No. 120-044R) at this time. City Administration is aware of discussions
at the Federal government regarding infrastructure investments, which would include
funding for Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure. The City Administration is following
these discussions in Congress closely, to understand how to best leverage City funds
in order to further comprehensive investments in this new type of infrastructure. The
project has been put on an indefinite hold. The Board of Public Works (the “Board”), at
its April 27, 2021 meeting, awarded the Ignition Park EV Charging Station contract to
Rieth Riley, in the amount of $398,617.41. The decision to not move forward was made
shortly thereafter. Fortunately, a Notice to Proceed has not been issued to the
contractor. Respectfully, it is requested that the Board rescind the April 27, 2021 award
of this project.
ACCEPTANCE

accepted this day of 20
