Requests for Proposals

Review open Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from the ComEd Beneficial Electrification team.

RFP Process

Each RFP below outlines the details, requirements, and schedule. All RFPs will require interested parties to submit an intent to bid by a date specified in the schedule along with any questions they have on the RFP. All submitted proposals will be reviewed and scored by a group of team members and subject matter experts from Customer Innovation Admin and ComEd Clean Energy Solutions. Established scoring criteria will be used to score each proposal based on the specific requirements outlined in the RFP.

The BrightLine Group, E Source, and Swift Strategy team is the Administrator for the ComEd Beneficial Electrification R&D initiative (the Beneficial Electrification Admin team). This team will support ComEd in the review, scoring and selection of proposals.

Pole-Mounted Electric Vehicle Charging Pilot Evaluator

Building upon the design, outcomes, and learnings from the BE Plan 1 pilot, we are conducting a new curbside charging pilot called the Pole-Mounted Electric Vehicle Charging Pilot. We are seeking proposal submissions for an evaluator of this pilot. This field test will assess the ability for these charger configurations to provide improved access to charging utilizing existing lampposts and utility poles, remove barriers to electric vehicle ownership for those who may not have access to at-home charging, and aim to find ways to achieve these goals with less complexity and time spent.

Rideshare Needs and Gaps Assessment Pilot Study

We are seeking proposal submissions to implement the Rideshare Needs and Gaps Assessment Pilot Study. ComEd seeks insight from data-driven market and grid assessments to quantify where high “for-hire” (rideshare) or ”for-use” (carshare) vehicle activity and transportation demand intersect with electric mobility barriers such as limited charging access, constrained hosting capacity, and/or constrained feeders or transformers.

In-Flight RFPs

Below you will find updated timelines for the previously announced Beneficial Electrification R&D Pilot RFPs. These RFPs were released through ComEd Supply, so process and timeline differ from the RFPs above being released through the Beneficial Electrification Admin team.
