MA H14

Governmental bodies may procure electric vehicles, including electric school buses, and charging equipment either separately or together under Chapter 30B procurement rules

Electric vehicles are classified as "supplies" and charging equipment installation as "services," but when procured together both are treated as supplies

Contractors must complete OSHA-approved 10-hour construction safety training and provide documentation with their first certified payroll report

Winning bidders must obtain a surety bond within 10 days of contract award notification from a company qualified under Massachusetts law

The new procurement authority expires on June 30, 2030, when Section 23 of Chapter 30B will be repealed
