Description
The Vernon Township School District is procuring a 15‑year solar Power Purchase Agreement for its high‑school facilities. A single vendor, HESP Solar, submitted a responsive proposal to design, finance, construct, own, operate, and maintain a ground‑mounted and canopy‑mounted photovoltaic system limited to 2.311 MW DC. The district will purchase the generated electricity on a per‑kilowatt‑hour basis (cents/kWh) with a maximum 3 % annual escalation and a guarantee that the system will produce at least 90 % of the projected annual output. The project must be completed within 12 months of the Notice to Proceed, with a $500 per day penalty for unexcused delays. The contract includes performance and bid bonds, insurance requirements, and options for system removal or purchase after year 10 or at the end of the term.
