This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Pasadena through Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) for Design-Build services related to solar and energy storage installations at Category 1 City-owned properties. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified Design-Build Contractors to provide comprehensive services including site evaluation, feasibility assessment, engineering and design, permitting, equipment procurement, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, stakeholder engagement support, and ongoing operations and maintenance. The Project targets Category 1 priority sites for near-term implementation with completion anticipated by June 2028. Solar installations are desired at all sites, while energy storage is highly desired where feasible based on site-specific conditions, technical constraints, cost considerations, 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 consideration of EV-related load assumptions that 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, based on its determination of the City's best interests.

The RFP does not specify detailed pricing terms, set-asides, or incumbent information within the provided excerpt. The final system size, configuration, and inclusion of energy storage will be determined through site-specific evaluation, design development, feasibility analysis, cost assessment, and City direction rather than being predetermined in the RFP. Site capacities identified in the RFP are estimated figures provided for planning and proposal purposes only.
