City's_Standard_Form_(Traditional)_Design-Build_Agreement_Place_Holder.pdf

This is a Design-Build Agreement placeholder document issued by the City of Pasadena, California, through Pasadena Water and Power (PWP), for solar and energy storage installations at Category 1 city-owned properties. The City is soliciting proposals from qualified Design-Build Contractors to provide comprehensive services including site evaluation, feasibility assessment, engineering and design, permitting, procurement, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, stakeholder engagement support, and ongoing operations and maintenance. The Project targets near-term implementation with completion by June 2028, with solar systems desired at all sites and energy storage highly desired where feasible based on site-specific conditions, technical constraints, cost, and City direction. The Scope of Work requires proposers to evaluate existing electrical infrastructure and account for future electric vehicle charging expansion as part of site evaluation and design, including how EV-related load assumptions may affect equipment sizing, panel capacity, and related system components. The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts by individual site, by combination of sites, or in whole, as determined to be in its best interest.

The actual terms and conditions of this Design-Build Agreement, including pricing terms, payment structures, performance requirements, insurance obligations, and other contractual provisions, are to be issued by addendum. This document serves as a placeholder framework pending the issuance of the complete agreement terms. Interested proposers should anticipate receiving detailed contract language, specific site information, cost evaluation criteria, and timeline requirements through subsequent addenda issued by the City of Pasadena.
