About this file
This is a Request for Proposals issued by the City of Pasadena, through Pasadena Water and Power (PWP), for Design-Build services for solar and energy storage installations at Category 1 city-owned properties in California. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive design-build services including site evaluation, feasibility assessment, engineering and design, permitting, procurement, construction, installation, interconnection, and commissioning of solar photovoltaic and energy storage systems. The project targets near-term implementation with completion by June 2028. Solar installations are desired at all sites, and energy storage is highly desired where feasible based on site-specific conditions, technical constraints, and cost considerations. The Glenarm Power Plant project, located at 72 E Glenarm Street in Pasadena, serves as a Category 1 priority site and includes conceptual designs for rooftop solar, carport solar, ground-mounted solar, and battery storage across three designated areas. The scope of work requires the selected contractor to perform on-site field surveys to verify existing conditions, evaluate existing electrical infrastructure, and account for future electric vehicle charging expansion in design approaches.
The RFP includes specific technical requirements and performance standards for the Glenarm Power Plant installation, including minimum carport canopy height of 14 feet 6 inches, battery storage specifications ranging from 20 kilowatts/80 kilowatt-hours in wall-mounted configurations to 250 kilowatts/500 kilowatt-hours in ground-mounted systems, and lighting compliance with Illuminating Engineering Society standards. The contractor assumes full responsibility for repairing or replacing any existing property or utilities damaged during construction and for parking lot striping. All electrical service installations must comply with PWP's Electrical Service Requirements (Regulation 21), with PWP providing transformers, high-voltage cables, and service entrance conductors while the contractor procures and installs service equipment including transformer vaults, switchgear, and electrical panels. The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts, individual sites, combinations of sites, or the entire project scope, with final system sizes, configurations, and energy storage inclusion to be determined based on site-specific evaluation and feasibility assessment.
