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 City seeks 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 Category 1 priority sites with implementation and completion expected 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, costs, 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 how EV-related load assumptions may affect equipment sizing and system components. Site capacities identified in the RFP are estimated for planning purposes only, with final system size, configuration, and energy storage inclusion to be determined through site-specific evaluation and City direction.

The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts, by individual site, by combination of sites, or in whole as deemed in the City's best interest. Specific pricing terms, set-aside provisions, response deadlines, site visit information, bidder conference details, and contract term specifications are referenced within the RFP documentation but require review of the complete solicitation for comprehensive details on funding sources, budget amounts, and any renewal or extension options.
