The Judicial Council seeks proposals for a solar project to be delivered using a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (“SPPA”) for the Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division Three (“Court of Appeal”) located at 601 West Santa Ana Boulevard, Santa Ana, CA 92701. The project elements will include delivery of a Solar Photovoltaic System (“PV System”), Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”), and Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”). The project is part of the Judicial Council’s plan to reduce courthouse Greenhouse Gas Emissions (“GHG”) and obtain a renewable supply for its electric consumption.

The Judicial Council seeks to award an SPPA and corresponding Site License Agreement (“SLA”) to one (1) Renewable Energy Development Firm (“Contractor”).

The SLA will permit the Contractor non-exclusive and revocable limited access to the project site for the construction and operation of the System as set forth in the Agreements. It is the sole responsibility of each Contractor submitting a proposal under this RFP to review both of the Agreements before submitting their proposal.

Interested parties should note that this pilot single-site Request for Proposals (“RFP”) will most likely precede a much larger solicitation for onsite renewable energy generation, in conjunction with associated battery energy systems. At the time of writing, it is anticipated this opportunity is to include 33 locations across the State.

A Pre-Proposal Conference will be held via phone call on February 10, 2022, at 10 AM Pacific Time.
Call in #: 877-820-7831
Participant Code: 109630

The Judicial Council will hold a site walk on February 17, 2022, at 10 AM Pacific Time. Attendance at the site walk is mandatory.
