21-05 - Solar Installations for City Facilities

he City of Ann Arbor is seeking proposals for the design, financing, engineering, procurement of materials, installation, commissioning, and all associated documentation (including warranties) and project interconnection of Solar PV Systems to be located at thirteen municipal facilities located within the Ann Arbor City limits. These systems should be designed to optimize power production and offset or reduce grid electricity use/electricity bills within the space and logistical constraints specified in this RFP. Where applicable, the contractor should layout the battery potential for the site to be islanded in case of a 72-hour utility outage. Each individual site’s solar potential has been estimated and ranges from 15kW to 150kW, totaling just over 1.3 MW In addition, the City wants to retire the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from these installations so that these systems can count toward the City’s climate and sustainability goals.
