Description
District of Columbia Housing Authority is seeking a qualified developer to lease DCHA‑owned rooftop, basement, and open‑area spaces at the Langston Terrace & Addition campuses (and optionally a warehouse) for a 20‑year renewable‑energy micro‑grid. The contractor must design, permit, construct, and operate a solar photovoltaic system (0.5‑1.5 MW) paired with an energy‑storage system (up to 1 MW/4 MWh) that stabilizes the grid and supplies electricity to Pepco’s master meter. The arrangement is lease‑centric, with optional long‑term power purchase agreement terms, and requires compliance with historic‑preservation, HUD Section 3, Davis‑Bacon, and extensive insurance/bonding requirements.
• Lease of DCHA property for 20 years; optional 20‑year PPA for electricity sales.
• Design, install, and operate 0.5‑1.5 MW solar PV plus up to 1 MW/4 MWh storage, interconnecting to existing utility meter.
• Must provide all permits, historic‑preservation approvals, and meet Section 3 workforce requirements; must have at least three prior commercial‑scale PPA projects (≥ 0.5 MW).
• Required insurance/bonding includes $1 M CG L, $5 M umbrella, $10 M pollution liability, and performance bonds equal to 100 % of contract price.
• Evaluation emphasizes experience, technical approach, financial capability, Section 3 compliance, and levelized cost of energy.
