RE: Charge Ahead Colorado, Grant Application, Intent to Award Letter
Dear Matt,
This letter serves as formal notification from the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) of its intent
to award Pitkin County for 5 L2 dual port charging stations and 1 100 kW+ DCFC charging
station, per the grant announcement released through Charge Ahead Colorado (CAC). The
award amount is the lesser of $95,000.00 or up to 80%* of allowable project costs for the
EV charging station installation(s).
Next Steps: Your Action Required Within 30 Days
The Purchase Order from the State will be prepared after your completion of the CAC
Orientation Form linked here. The hyperlink for this form is also listed here: https://forms.gle/
LQaQ5TrbM7ufFgxK8. The CAC Orientation Form, or an email explaining why it has not yet
been completed, must be received by the Colorado Energy Office within 30 days of this
Intent to Award Letter or CEO may rescind the award offer.
As an important reminder, awardees are instructed not to begin work, purchase materials,
enter into subcontracts, or incur costs related to the project until the Purchase Order is
executed by the State. CEO strongly encourages a competitive bid process.
CEO recommends exploring future-proofing to enable a more timely and cost-effective
installation of additional EV charging stations at a later date and encourages checking with
your electric utility for any EV charging programs or incentives they may offer.
