This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Pasadena through Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) for Design-Build services to implement solar and energy storage installations at Category 1 City-owned properties in California. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified Design-Build Contractors to provide comprehensive services including site evaluation and feasibility assessment, engineering and design, permitting, procurement of equipment and materials, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, stakeholder engagement support, and ongoing operations and maintenance. The Project targets near-term implementation with completion intended 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, and City direction. The Scope of Work requires proposers to evaluate existing electrical infrastructure and account for future electric vehicle (EV) charging expansion as part of the site evaluation and design approach, including EV-related load assumptions that may affect equipment sizing, panel capacity, and related system components. Final system size, configuration, and inclusion of energy storage will be determined through site-specific evaluation, design development, feasibility analysis, cost considerations, and City direction.

The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts organized by individual site, by combination of sites, or in whole, as determined to be in the best interest of the City. The site capacities identified in the RFP are estimated figures provided for planning and proposal purposes only and are subject to modification based on final site-specific conditions and City requirements. This procurement represents the City's commitment to advancing renewable energy and energy storage capabilities across its municipal properties while preparing infrastructure for future electrification initiatives.
