This Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued by the City of Bluffdale, Utah, seeking design and installation services for a solar and battery storage project at two municipal facilities. The project involves designing, supplying, and installing photovoltaic solar panel systems with battery storage at the new Public Works Building (3301 W 13800 S) and the existing City Hall (2222 W 14400 S).

The City will require a comprehensive proposal including system design, solar panel layout, equipment specifications, installation details, and monitoring solutions. The selected contractor must provide a production guarantee of at least 90% kWh for the first year, with performance measured annually. The price proposal should be separated into components for the rooftop solar system, battery storage systems for both facilities, and preparation of the Blue Sky Grant Application. A selection team will evaluate proposals based on six key goals, including annual solar energy generation capacity, appropriate solar technology, battery storage strategy, data monitoring options, cost estimates, and compliance with Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky Grant Program requirements. The total possible score is 50 points, with the City reserving the right to interview and select the most qualified firm.
