Integrated Resource Plan

The City of Glendale’s Water & Power utility is seeking a consulting firm to develop a comprehensive Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) covering the planning horizon 2029‑2050. The consultant will generate input assumptions, model multiple resource‑portfolio scenarios (including renewable‑ and zero‑carbon pathways), conduct power‑flow and market participation analyses, and lead a series of public stakeholder‑engagement events. Deliverables include a draft IRP by June 30 2028, a final IRP by October 15 2028, and all associated data, models, and reports. • Produce five portfolio scenarios (three city‑defined, two stakeholder‑driven) with cost, emissions, and compliance analyses. • Perform power‑flow simulations and evaluate rate‑impact metrics using the city’s existing modeling platform. • Facilitate at least five public meetings, prepare presentations for commission and City Council, and provide ongoing progress reports. • Submit a Not‑to‑Exceed fee proposal covering core scope, optional screening tasks, and detailed staffing rates.
