Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 18, 2026

The Environmental Sustainability Committee agenda lists a dedicated item for a “School EV charger discussion” with the Town’s Land Use and Sustainability Coordinator at its June 18, 2026 meeting. This indicates the town is actively exploring how to provide or expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure at school facilities, but no vendor, funding award, or specific procurement has been named yet. This is a pre-RFP planning signal where Carlisle is likely evaluating technical options, locations, hardware, software/networking, and potential funding sources for chargers serving staff, fleets, or the community.Vendors in EV charging hardware, network management software, design/engineering, and grant consulting can engage early by offering guidance on school-focused charging solutions and incentives as the town shapes the project scope.

This is an early-stage policy and planning discussion; no formal procurement is referenced yet.
