Any parking facility owned and operated by the state of New York, 4 that offers more than two hundred parking spaces for the purposes of 5 public use, state employee use and pay-per-usage, is hereby required to 6 install electric charging stations in at least twenty percent of the 7 total number of parking spaces offered by such facility. 8 4. Each electric vehicle charging station required pursuant to this 9 section shall support electric vehicle charging with a minimum of forty 10 amperes and two hundred eight volts of electrical capacity. Such elec- 11 tric vehicle charging stations and all other components and work appur- 12 tenant thereto shall be in accordance with all applicable state, county, 13 city, town, or village electrical codes. 14 5. The office of general services shall be responsible for the instal- 15 lation of any electric vehicle supply equipment and charging stations. 16 If such installation shall require the state to make upgrades to any 17 electrical supply equipment to safely and sufficiently power and operate 18 such charging stations, the office of general services shall increase 19 the electrical capacity of the existing system by installing new compo- 20 nents as necessary. If the office of general services is unable to make 21 such technical upgrades to a facility, the office may contract with a 22 licensed electrician or similar service provider to upgrade the elec- 23 trical capacity of said facility. Such contracted work shall comply with 24 the provisions of article eight of the labor law, including the payment 25 of a wage of not less than the prevailing wage in the locality where 26 such parking facility is located. 27 6. The office of general services shall be responsible for the mainte- 28 nance, general upkeep and repair of any electric vehicle supply equip- 29 ment and charging stations. If the office of general services is unable 30 to complete such maintenance or repairs, the office may contract with a 31 licensed electrician or similar repair service to complete the necessary 32 work on said equipment. 33 § 2.
