Attachment 5. SERC Solar Agrivoltaic Bid Schedule.xlsx

This is a Bid Schedule template for a design-build contract to construct a 2.0 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) system for agrivoltaic research at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) in Edgewater, Maryland. The total estimated cost range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The base bid encompasses all design and construction work for four distinct solar array configurations on approximately 12 acres of agricultural land located behind the Woodlawn House on Contees Wharf Road. Bidders must provide cost breakdowns organized by construction divisions, including material, labor, and equipment line items, with allowances for overhead, profit, and performance bond costs.

The schedule includes two priced options in addition to the base bid. Option 1 covers one year of operation and maintenance (O&M) services for the 2.0 MW agrivoltaic system with the potential to extend for up to four additional one-year periods. Option 2 provides for installation of an agricultural water well system as described in the request for proposals and statement of work. All cost entries in the template are currently blank placeholders requiring bidder completion. A mandatory site visit and pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM at the SERC Schmidt Conference Center, with contact to Christine Grant at grantca@si.edu for scheduling. Questions should be submitted in sequential word format.
