Description
The City of North Pole is soliciting proposals to design, procure, deliver, install, and commission grid‑tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for 13 municipal facilities. Bidders must provide sealed engineering designs signed by an Alaska‑licensed electrical engineer, detailed cost breakdowns for materials and labor per site, and certify insurance and business‑license compliance. The contract is contingent on city council appropriations and will terminate automatically if funds are not appropriated by Dec 31 2026. The work must be completed by December 2027, and the City intends to use Direct Pay Incentives and a 50 % buy‑back rate for any excess generation.
• Scope covers full design, engineering, procurement, installation, testing, and commissioning of solar PV systems (≤ 25 kW per building).
• Each of the 13 sites has specific electrical service capacities (1‑ or 3‑phase, 200‑600 A) that must be accommodated.
• Bidders must submit a comprehensive bid package by April 30 2026, including insurance certificates, city business license, and answers to scheduling questions; a bid presentation is scheduled for May 4 2026.
