This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Pasadena, through Pasadena Water and Power (PWP), soliciting Design-Build services for solar and energy storage installations at Category 1 City-owned properties. The Project encompasses design, procurement, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, and potential operations and maintenance of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage solutions across multiple municipal facilities, with completion targeted by June 2028. Solar installations are desired at all sites, while energy storage systems are highly desired where feasible based on site-specific conditions and cost considerations. The Scope of Work includes comprehensive site evaluation and feasibility assessment, engineering and design, permitting, equipment procurement, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, stakeholder engagement support, and ongoing operations and maintenance services. The selected contractor must evaluate existing electrical infrastructure and account for future electric vehicle charging expansion potential, ensuring that EV-related load assumptions are incorporated into equipment sizing and system component specifications. The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts by individual site, by combination of sites, or for the entire project portfolio, at its discretion.

The RFP permits the City to select the award structure and contract structure that best serves its interests. Site capacities identified in the RFP are estimated figures provided for planning purposes, with final system size, configuration, and inclusion of energy storage to be determined through site-specific evaluation, design development, feasibility analysis, cost assessment, and City direction during the project execution phase. The file references Robinson Park and Recreation Center as a Category 1 priority site, indicating this facility is among the near-term implementation priorities for the solar and energy storage program.
