Renovation of a mixed-use development in Mason City, Iowa. Completed plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility; and retail development.

The shopping center has a roof of approximately 200,000 SF which will be replaced with an adhesive membrane roof. Given the available roof space, the City would like to add solar to the roof of the building. Respondents should respond with a proposed layout design showing the sizing, projected production, and cost specific to solar. The City is requesting the total cost presented as a price/watt installed but also a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) price/kWh over a specified PPA term presented by the respondent. The expectation is that any/all State and Federal Tax benefits will be passed through to the City through a long-term PPA contract which should also include an early buyout schedule. The City is also open to bids for the solar plus the roof in the form of a kWh rate to the City, while also passing on tax benefits for the solar plus the roof. Prevailing wage is not a requirement by the City. The City is also seeking bids for on-site battery storage capacity at the shopping center and the adjacent multi-purpose arena for back-up reliability purposes. The multi-purpose arena's roof has an existing solar system that is operational today. The City is open to options surrounding battery storage from qualified respondents. The City would request that the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is incorporated into responses through a standalone PPA rate and include the total estimated project cost for battery storage. The City wishes to add solar to the roof of the fire station. Respondents should include a solar layout design, production estimates, and pricing through a PPA contract including an earlybuyout schedule. The Fire Station location is approximately 17,000 SF plus an additional 5,000 SF for the building expansion currently underway. The City would like solar on the roof as shown today along with the expansion. Respondents should provide EPC and PPA pricing for a total of 22,000 SF of available roof space. All questions related to this request for bids should be directed to Brian Stuart, VP of Renewable Energy & Sustainability with New Stone Americas: Address: 26865 Interstate 45; The Woodlands, TX 77380 Phone: (832) 616-3790 Email: bstuart@newstoneusa.com
