About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Long Beach Utilities Department (LBUD) for an Energy Master Plan. The addendum, dated February 17, 2023, addresses 15 questions submitted by prospective offerors and clarifies key project requirements. The Energy Master Plan will cover water and sewer operations facilities and infrastructure across multiple LBUD sites, with electricity provided entirely by Southern California Edison (SCE). The project must be completed within 18 months, though LBUD prefers a shorter schedule. Offerors are required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum by signing and returning it with their proposals. The sample fee schedule template provided specifies non-optional work tasks including project management, energy audit and benchmarking, demand forecasting, identifying potential projects, project evaluation, and the final Energy Master Plan Report, along with provisions for optional work at 10 percent of the non-optional work total.
Sensitive facility information including square footage, floor counts, usage details, existing energy project implementations, and maps or inventories of water and sewer facilities will be provided only to the selected consultant after contract award due to security concerns. Access to hydraulic models of water and sewer systems and a Continuity of Operations Plan identifying critical infrastructure will also be provided post-award, with expectations that the selected consultant will coordinate with LBUD's Emergency Preparedness and Planning team. The water reclamation site is explicitly excluded from scope. There are no minority/women/small business enterprise (XBE) requirements, no estimated budget cap, and no preferred project schedule format requirements, though all documents must be submitted in PDF format for software compatibility. The City is conducting a concurrent Citywide Fleet Audit and EV Infrastructure Study that will provide baseline information for vehicle electrification recommendations within the Energy Master Plan scope.

A. The following ques�ons have been raised. Answers are in blue.
1. Can LBUD provide details on the facilities – square footage, floors, usage?
A. Due to security concerns, this informa�on will be provided to the selected consultant a�er the contract has been awarded.
2. Can LBUD provide details of energy projects already implemented?

A: Please refer to Sec�on 1.2 in the Energy Master Plan RFP.
4. Any thinking already done on what the mission critical parts of water and sewer systems currently are?
A: LBUD’s Con�nuity of Opera�ons Plan for water and sewer opera�ons does iden�fy cri�cal infrastructure, however it doesn’t go into detail about energy needs. The expecta�on is that the Consultant will work with LBUD’s Emergency Preparedness and Planning team for further discussion a�er the contract has been awarded.
5. Is the water reclamation site in scope?
A: No.
6. Is all electricity provided by SCE?
A: Yes.
7. What is defining the 18-month schedule, and would you be open to a shorter schedule?
A: LBUD would like the Energy Master Plan to be completed in no longer than 18 months, but a shorter schedule is preferable.

A: Please refer to Sec�on 4.O. for Fee Schedule details. In addi�on, a sample fee schedule is atached to this Addendum.
9. How many stakeholders’ workshops are being anticipated?
A: Please see Section 2.1.3 of the Energy Master Plan RFP.
10. Is there a map or inventory showing the exact location of existing water and sewer facilities (i.e., wells, treatment plant, reservoirs, offices, etc.)
A: Due to security concerns, this informa�on will be provided to the selected consultant a�er the contract has been awarded.
11. Are there any XBE (MBE/WBE/SBE, etc.) requirements for this proposal?
A: No.

A: Please refer to Section 1.2. for a list of studies and plans that the selected Consultant will have access to. The City is conducting a Citywide Fleet Audit and EV Infrastructure Study that will provide recommendations for converting LBUD’s water and sewer operations fleet to EV along with corresponding infrastructure needs.
