This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Pasadena, California, 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 operations and maintenance services for solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage installations across multiple city-owned sites. Solar installations are required at all sites, while energy storage systems are highly desired where feasible based on site-specific conditions, technical constraints, and costs. The Scope of Work includes comprehensive site evaluation and feasibility assessment, engineering and design services, permitting and regulatory compliance, procurement of equipment and materials, construction and installation, system interconnection, commissioning, stakeholder engagement support, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Additionally, the Contractor must evaluate existing electrical infrastructure and account for future electric vehicle charging expansion as part of the site evaluation and design approach, including considerations for EV-related load assumptions that may affect equipment sizing and system components. The RFP indicates that projects are intended to support near-term implementation with completion targeted by June 2028. Site capacities provided in the RFP are estimated figures for planning purposes only, with final system size, configuration, and energy storage inclusion to be determined through site-specific evaluation, design development, feasibility analysis, and City direction.

The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts organized by individual site, by combination of sites, or the entire Project in whole, as determined to be in the best interest of the City. Specific pricing terms, set-aside requirements, incumbent information, and detailed funding sources and amounts are not fully detailed in the available portion of this RFP document. Proposers should refer to the complete RFP documentation for comprehensive information regarding compensation structure, performance requirements, insurance obligations, bonding requirements, and all other material terms and conditions governing the contract award and execution.
