Site work for a mixed-use development in Pasadena, California. Completed plans call for site work for a clubhouse / community center; fitness / recreation center; library; playground / park / athletic field; power facility; and sidewalk / parking lot.

The City of Pasadena ("City"), through Pasadena Water and Power ("PWP"), is issuing this Request for Proposals ("RFP") to solicit proposals from qualified firms to provide Design-Build services by a Design-Build Contractor ("Design-Builder," "D-B," "Contractor," or "Proposer") for the design, procurement, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, and, if authorized by the City, operations and maintenance of solar and energy storage installations at Category 1 City-owned properties (the "Project"). The Project includes Category 1 priority sites identified in this RFP that are intended to support near-term implementation and completion by June 2028. Solar is desired at all sites, and energy storage is highly desired where feasible based on site-specific conditions, technical constraints, cost, and City direction. The site capacities identified in this RFP are estimated and are provided for planning and proposal purposes only. Final system size, configuration, and inclusion of energy storage will be determined based on site-specific evaluation, design development, feasibility, cost, and City direction. The Scope of Work includes site evaluation and feasibility assessment, engineering and design, permitting, procurement of equipment and materials, construction, installation, interconnection, commissioning, stakeholder engagement support, and ongoing operations and maintenance of the selected improvements, as applicable to the awarded contract. The Scope of Work also requires the selected Proposer to evaluate existing electrical infrastructure and account for future electric vehicle ("EV") charging expansion as part of the site evaluation and design approach, including where EV-related load assumptions may affect equipment sizing, panel capacity, and related system components. The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts, by individual site, by combination of sites, or in whole, as determined to be in the best interest of the City. Proposers may submit proposals for any individual site or any combination of Category 1 sites identified in this RFP. Proposers will be evaluated only for the sites included in their proposals. The City also reserves the right to remove one or more sites from the awarded scope or otherwise modify the awarded scope based on feasibility, cost, funding, schedule, City priorities, or other considerations identified during the Project. A Selection Committee shall review the Proposals received and complete final scoring based on the City's Design and Performance Criteria for the Project and the evaluation criteria identified in this RFP, pursuant to Pasadena Municipal Code ("P.M.C.") section 4.08.047, competitive selection, using the Design-Build alternative project delivery method. Proposers recommended for award will be evaluated and determined on a best-value basis, based on qualifications, organization/team composition, technical proposal, financial strength, safety record, local business, small business, price proposal, and, if applicable, interview scores.
