Air Pollution Control District - Turnkey Design-Build Photovoltaic Solar Energy System

The San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide a turnkey design‑build photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system for its headquarters roof. The project involves engineering, permitting, procurement, installation, commissioning, and optional battery‑back‑up and EV‑charging integration. Two sizing options are required: a base system to offset ~50 % of the district’s projected annual electricity use (≈ 36,500 kWh) and an alternate system to offset ~100 % (≈ 73,000 kWh). The contractor must preserve the newly installed membrane roof warranty, minimize roof penetrations, and coordinate with the roofing contractor and utility. The contract will be awarded based on best‑value criteria, not lowest price, with a submission deadline of August 27, 2026. • Design‑build of a 5,100 sq ft rooftop PV system (≈ 40‑50 kW) • Two performance scenarios (50 % and 100 % of projected load) • Optional battery energy storage and expanded Level 2 EV charging stations • Full permitting, interconnection, testing, commissioning, and training • Must meet California building, electrical, and fire codes; UL‑listed equipment only • Project schedule: design & permitting → procurement → construction → commissioning (timeline to be detailed in proposal) • Evaluation factors: technical approach, qualifications, cost‑benefit analysis (Gov’t Code 4217), schedule, and past performance.
