A government authority in Preston, Minnesota seeks a vendor to conduct a feasibility study on the installation of solar-powered e-bike charging stations. The selected firm will assess user needs and demand for e-bike charging infrastructure and evaluate potential locations for charging stations along a designated project corridor.

The scope includes analyzing installation options, costs—including available rebates and funding sources—return on investment comparisons between solar and traditional power (with a focus on energy and cost savings), and long-term considerations such as system sizing and maintenance. The study should also identify renewable energy funding or incentive opportunities and provide a detailed roadmap for implementation if deemed feasible.

Comprehensive analysis will draw from both qualitative and quantitative data, including tourism statistics, electric utility rate assessments, and resident or visitor engagement through surveys or other appropriate measures.
