The City of Petaluma is seeking to hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study on implementing emergency backup power using renewable energy sources at city facilities. Additionally, the consultant will assess the current state of emergency power preparedness at these city facilities and provide recommendations for necessary upgrades including associated implementation plans. As the City lacks the required technical expertise to thoroughly evaluate and develop optimal solutions for these matters independently, the selected consultant will be responsible for devising an effective plan to provide the feasibility study and evaluate the existing emergency power preparedness. This will allow the City to gain a clearer understanding of options for improving resilience through renewable energy sources, as well as any gaps in current emergency power capacities.
