Bloomfield’s ICIP includes a project to acquire electric fleet vehicles and install four solar‑panel EV charging stations at City Hall, the Cultural Center, Salmon Park, and the Vereda del Rio Riverwalk. The total budget is $2,391,341 with $1,241,341 funded from NMDOT’s EV Infrastructure Grant Fund (EVIGF) in FY 2025 and $600,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending from Senator Luján. The city currently has no charging stations and wants to capture tourist traffic from Albuquerque on US 550 while electrifying portions of its fleet. The plan does not identify hardware vendors or installers, indicating future procurement for EVSE equipment, solar canopies, electrical upgrades, and possibly electric vehicles themselves. Vendors in EV infrastructure, distributed solar, and fleet planning can assist Bloomfield with final site design, utility coordination, NEVI/CFI compliance, procurement specifications, and phased deployment of chargers and vehicles aligned with its broader fleet replacement goals.

Pre-RFP

The FY27 Wastewater Fund capital equipment section lists “Two Bypass Pumps with Canopy” for Operations at a budget of 173,000. This indicates the District plans to invest in portable bypass pumping capacity, likely for use during pump station maintenance or emergencies, with specific quantity but no vendors mentioned. Pump manufacturers and rental/service providers can treat this as a significant equipment opportunity that may also drive future service and parts work. Conversations could focus on pump sizing and head requirements, trailer and canopy configurations, quick-connect fittings, and training for staff on setup and safe operation during bypass events.

Two canopy-covered bypass pumps suggest emphasis on mobile, weather-protected pumping for field use.

Within the FY27 Wastewater Fund capital plan, Operations includes “Two Towable 40 KW Generators” with a combined budget of 114,000. This shows a clear intent to bolster mobile backup power capacity for pump stations or field operations, with quantity and size defined but no manufacturer or supplier named. Generator manufacturers and rental-to-own providers can view this as a funded, multi-unit equipment opportunity. A relevant discussion would cover trailerized generator options, connection interfaces for existing infrastructure, fuel types, sound attenuation, and maintenance or service agreements that ensure reliability during outages.

Two mobile generators at 40 kW each, likely for redundancy or coverage of multiple sites.

Within the Reserve Fund capital plan, the district notes a 40,000 carryover from FY 25-26 for a water tender update project, described as either a new automatic transmission or a new used chassis. This is in addition to 50,000 appropriated for unforeseen capital items tied to satellite station construction, indicating the water tender work is a distinct project. This suggests Sauvie Island Fire District is planning a major mechanical upgrade or rehabilitation of an existing water tender, potentially involving specialized heavy-vehicle drivetrain work or remounting onto a different chassis. Fleet and apparatus vendors, transmission specialists, and remount/upfitting shops can engage to scope options, costs, and timing for this water tender upgrade during the FY 26-27 period.

Decision between upgrading transmission vs. moving body to a used chassis has likely not been finali...
