Please send all questions regarding this Request for Proposal in writing via email to Leiloni Shine, Contract Planner, at Lshine@cityofwillits.org The City of Willits proudly serves approximately 5,000 residents. To date, we have installed a 26 kW rooftop PV system with approximately 75 kW/h of connected batteries at City Hall and a 422.25 kW Ground Mount system serving the City Water Plant. There are approximately 830 kW of connected Tesla batteries at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. In 2023 the City successfully submitted Interconnection Applications with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) on March 29, 2023, for two (2) site locations. In efforts to maintain the existing Net Energy Metering (NEM 2.0) rate option with PG&E and to meet renewable energy goals, the City completed the Interconnection Application process with PG&E prior to the NEM 3.0 deadline. Through this RFP, the City seeks to continue to make progress towards achieving its renewable energy goals with new solar system installations. The City seeks to review all available rate options, including but not limited to NEM 2.0 and Renewable Energy Self-Generation Bill Credit Transfer (RES-BCT), and potentially maintain NEM 2.0 status with PG&E. If the RES-BCT rate is chosen, the city may consider an additional solar system installation location at the Wastewater Treatment Plant site. If NEM 2.0 is determined as the preferred rate program for the City, Respondents shall have demonstrated their ability to complete all project deliverables and receive Point of Connection by no later than April 15, 2026, maintaining the City's Net Energy Metering (NEM) 2.0 status with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and within the City's budget of $2,822,400.00.
