CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF SHELBY REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

SCOPE OF WORK Provide a turnkey photovoltaic (PV) system for the 32,000 square foot Shelby Township Municipal Building. Qualified bidders will engineer, design, deliver, install, operate and maintain a grid connected solar PV system that maximizes the power generated. The goal of the RFP is to make lower-cost renewable energy available to the Charter Township of Shelby (herein also referred to as “Owner”). The successful respondent (herein also referred to as “Contractor” or “Bidder”) to this RFP will be required to contact the local utilities as needed to successfully execute the requirements of this RFP. PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Shelby Township Municipal Building is a 32,000 square foot facility located near the intersection of 24 Mile and Van Dyke. The building serves as the Municipal Office for the Township. In 2010, an Energy Grant through the Department of Energy was received to reduce energy consumption in the Township Municipal Building. At that time, several projects were constructed. The PV System was not constructed at that time. The Township wishes to complete this phase of the projects with this proposal. The two competitive factors for this fixed price project (other factors such as equipment quality and design and installation expertise being equal) shall be: 1) To reliably generate the most amount of electricity for the money available and 2) The ability to provide occasional ongoing promotional and education sessions to students and the general public. Said presentations shall promote Solar Photovoltaic electricity generation as a replacement for non-renewable resources, a reduction in our carbon footprint, and for increased national security, through a reduction in our reliance on foreign oil. The design engineering and installation shall be at a minimum, but not limited to, the following:

1. Calculate estimated annual amount of kWh of electricity generated per year by the proposed PV systems designed and the annual energy value. Calculate estimated MMBTU generated.

2. Design expandable systems and purchase all equipment necessary for the proposed project, including solar panels, racking systems and poles, electrical conduits, inverters, and wireless measuring equipment and install same.

3. Provide a minimum of four hours training to Township employees regarding the ongoing operation and maintenance of the equipment.

6. The successful applicant shall provide a minimum of one informal educational session to the general public at a Township Board Meeting.

7. In selecting equipment for the project, special attention must be given to quality and long range durability and longevity of the components. Incorporating the

4

latest improvements in PV technology and innovative design characteristics shall be considered favorably.

8. All equipment must meet federal “Made in America” standards, free trade agreement claims notwithstanding, according to the Special Terms and Conditions for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, included within this RFP.

9. As part of the educational component, create an automated wireless link and presentation screen between the Township website and the installed inverters sowing real time energy generation and historic savings in a manner easily understood by the general public.

10. Provide a building plan with locations of all devices and equipment. 11. Provide lightning protection for the PV system. 12. Provide voltage drop calculations for all DC and AC wiring. 13. Provide a legend for all equipment shown on plans and riser. 14. Provide interconnection with utility companies and net metering. 15. Provide signage and warning labels for the entire PV system. 16. System shall provide for a nominal capacity of maximum 10kWh grid connected

PV system with no energy storage device. An alternate proposal shall be provided for a 15kWh system.

17. System should be designed for outdoor installation, for the normal ambient temperature range characteristic at the installation site, [Shelby Township, MI; -15°F to 100°F], contractor to verify.

18. PV system to be connected to utility electric grid through a grid-interactive power conditioner (inverter).

19. PV system shall be installed at the site, contractor to provide roof mounting in a manner acceptable to the owner.

20. Provide system testing and correct all necessary defects prior to final demonstration and Owner acceptance.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can

be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on

a wage

determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests

for summaries

of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office

for the area in

which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices

have

responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the

response from this

initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described

in 2.) and

3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal

process

described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of

Construction

Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an

interested party

(those affected by the action) can request review and

reconsideration from

the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR

Part 7).

Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator




The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the

interested

party's position and by any information (wage payment data,

project

description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor

considers

relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an

interested

party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board

(formerly the

Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board




4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
