Section 1 – Methodology/Specific Plan. Provide a description of methodology of the offerors design and management processes incorporating an understanding of the goals and criteria of this project and how the offeror intends to meet those goals and criteria. Provide a specific plan for providing the service including: • Preliminary project schedule with milestones for design, permitting, material delivery, installation, commissioning, operation, and project closeout. • Preliminary system description, performance and warranties. • Preliminary equipment selection, layout and mounting mechanisms. • Specifications for equipment procurement and installation. • Integration of solar PV systems with other power sources. • Electrical grid interconnection requirements. • Controls, monitors, and instrumentation. • System performance monitoring and verification. • Guidance on how to assist CHPS with any needed roof structural certifications, warranties, repairs, and structural engineer certification for each roof with a proposed solar array. • Discussion of allowances specified for removing and re-installing solar panels for roof repairs on any roof where the roof warranty is less than 20 years. • Ownership of the solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) should be retained by Colonial Heights Public Schools. • Financing proposal including turnkey (design/build) PV systems to include price per kWh for 20 years without an annual escalator. The proposal should have the same contract as a fixed price for each and every year with no escalation. The financing proposal should include an early purchase option(s). • The financing proposal must include a net benefit calculation showing the benefits of the service agreement for each year of the agreement. Costs must include the cost of the service agreement plus any and all allowances. Costs should be expressed in total dollars and costs per kWh of the aggregated output from the proposed solar arrays. Benefits must include the projected avoided kWh costs, projected fuel and other electric rider avoided costs and projected avoided peak demand savings where applicable. Responses should be submitted in Excel format to allow for data validation and include the following information:
i. Annual benefits must use the most recent 12 months average cost of electricity, fuel, riders and cost per peak KW charges. Electricity data is included as Attachment G.
ii. Use an identified % cost escalation over the 20 years for Dominion’s electricity rate
iii. Annual panel degradati...
