Annual Energy Production Guarantee
A. Cumulative Annual Energy Production Measurement
The Cumulative Annual Energy Production is the actual AC electrical output in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for the Annual Production Period as measured and recorded by all of the Systems revenue meter(s) and adjusted for meter calibration error, if required.
B. Expected Annual Energy Production Calculation
At the completion of each Annual Production Period, the Consultant shall update the software model of the Systems to calculate the Expected Annual Energy Production of the Systems for that period for comparison with the Cumulative Annual Energy Production of the same period. The model shall use the actual meteorological data and/or reference cell data from the performance monitoring system at the Site.
The input values used in the System Model shall include the following parameters based on the final installed System:
• Albedo
• Module orientation
• Shading
• Equipment models and configuration
• Module thermal parameters
• Ohmic losses
• Module quality and mismatch losses
• Soiling losses, adjusted for calendar month and washing frequency • IAM losses
Hidden parameters and preferences within the model shall remain at default values unless noted and justified. All input parameter values and assumptions shall be provided with the model for review, and shall remain consistent from year to year.
The following factors shall be adjusted in the System Model each year of operation:
• Actual weather data for the Annual Production Period
• Smoke, dust, and other air pollutants
• Manufacturer Module degradation factors (Manufacturer Module Power Output Warranty) • Adjustments per Section 5(g), 5(h), 5(i), and 5(j)

Docusign Envelope ID: 86CA7067-FD12-4B4E-B4D9-C03CD13271D7
C. Annual Energy Production Evaluation
The measured Cumulative Annual Energy Production value for the System shall be compared with the calculated Expected Annual Energy Production value and evaluated as described in Section 5, Consultant’s Guarantee, of this Agreement.
D. Modeled Annual Energy Production Calculation
The temperature-derate model used by Consultant to determine the modeled level of production a System. The System losses, DC system size, CEC inverter efficiency, and the panel temperature coefficient is the accumulation of losses, degradation rates, and efficiencies which are evaluated on an annual basis. These losses are initially calculated upon project commissioning and will only be re-calculated if components fail, degrade, or are changed. Cell temperature and POA irradiance are real-time calculations based on measurements from a reference cell.
Our Consultant’s System model is a combination of System specifications, estimated soiling, shade expectations, degradation expectations. This model is calculated by using the single line asbuilt plans and a production summary report from HelioScope and are re-evaluated for accuracy on an Annual basis. The Modeled Energy equation is:
𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦(𝑘𝑊 𝐴𝐶) = 𝜎 × (1 − 𝑆) ×
𝐼
1000
× 𝑃 × (1 + 𝛾 × (𝑇 − 25))
Where:
T = Cell Temperature
S = System Model Loss
I = POA Irradiance
P = DC System Size
σ = CEC Inverter Efficiency
γ = Temperature Coefficient of the Panel
This modeled production will be compared to actual measured production to calculate operational performance of the System. Unplanned System outages and soiling above expectations will be evaluated and included in System losses.

ADDENDUM NO. 1
RFP No. 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND STORAGE SYSTEM
Issued March 18, 2025
The City Gardena issues this addendum before the proposals are due, to inform proposers of revisions to the Request for Proposals (RFP) package and is hereby made a part of the RFP documents. The following changes, additions, and/or clarifications shall be made to the requirements for the above-mentioned project. In case of a conflict between the original RFP package and this Addendum, this Addendum shall govern. All requirements contained in the RFP package shall apply to this Addendum, and the general character of the project called for in this Addendum shall be the same as originally set forth in the applicable portions of the RFP documents, unless otherwise specified under this Addendum. All incidental work necessitated by this Addendum, as required to complete the project, shall be included in the RFP, although not specifically mentioned in this addendum. The balance of the RFP documents shall remain unchanged.
This addendum includes modifications, clarifications and answers to questions received by GTrans beginning March 3, 2025 to March 14, 2025. Additional questions received by GTrans will be released as a separate addendum in the future. Questions received during a site walk will be labeled “SW”.
The proposer shall acknowledge receipt of this Addendum on Form B (“Transmittal Letter Form”) as part of their proposal.
MODIFICATIONS TO RFP 2024-07 DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND STORAGE SYSTEM:
1. GTrans updates Attachment 1, “Site Overview”, which can be found on the “Addenda” tab on PlanetBids. The revised Attachment A adds another page reflecting the Single Line Diagram for the Existing Meter and Facility. The revised Attachment A now matches the printouts distributed at the bid walk.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 1 P a g e | 2
2. GTrans redacts and updates the following in red from section 2.2 “Project Objectives” 2 nd
paragraph on page 5 of the RFP.
Contractors are expected to specify equipment control systems (Solar Data Acquisition Systems, Battery Storage Control, EV Charger Control) which are able to provide real time operational data and accept control signals via commonly accepted open protocols standards. As part of this work, Contractors will be expected to coordinate with GTrans and their existing site control vendors to figure out the best way for all systems to communicate together and operate in a way which maximizes the benefit to GTrans.
Contractors are expected to specify equipment hardware that is controlled by native software that allows full bi-directional (2-way) communication and control of the asset via API or over commonly accepted industry open protocol standards such as BACNet, OCPP, etc. Bi-directional communication by a 3rd party software shall also not impact the product warranty in any way. While no overarching site integration vendor has been selected at this time to coordinate generation, storage, EV charging and other site loads, specifying hardware and software which allow for communication and control of assets will provide GTrans with the most options for integration and coordination of future site operation. As part of the project, vendors will also be expected to provide documentation of how their software API functions to aid future site control integrators.
CLARIFICATIONS TO RFP 2024-07 DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND
STORAGE SYSTEM
Q1: Do you have service interruption or problems when the vault floods? (SW) A1: No, currently Building A does not experience any service interruptions or problems when the vault floods.
Q2: (Speaking of entrance by gym) Is this door a general entrance for staff to come in? (SW)
A2: Yes, the door to Building A by the parking lot is the general entrance used by staff to enter the building. Visitors, however, enter through a different door.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 1 P a g e | 3
Q3: If we need to put solar in the parking lot, does it need to be 15 feet high? (SW) A3: In order to accommodate the future addition of double decker buses to their Fleet, GTrans requires the minimum height of any carport structures in the yard or exit through the eastern parking lot to be 14’6”. See attached photo for more specifics of areas where minimum carport clearance is required.
Q4: We heard that the city is transitioning from ChargePoint to another EV charging provider. Have you selected a new hardware provider and/or software provider, or are you open to proposals including any provider(s)? Would your vendor selection impose any restrictions on the charging hardware and software solutions that we may specify in our proposal?
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 1 P a g e | 4
A4: At this time, no hardware provider and/or software provider has been selected. GTrans is open to proposals including any provider which follows the requirements set forth in Addendum #1 and which will ensure high levels of system reliability and user experience.
Q5: The RFP indicates that Employee/Visitor EV Charging is to be 40A, but the Site Overview conceptual layout shows these as 32A - can you confirm which of these is the preferred amperage?
A5: Employee/Visitor EV chargers can deliver 32A to the vehicles as a minimum amperage (32A @ 208V = 6.6kW).
Q6: Do you plan to require payment from employees and/or visitors to charge their vehicles?
A6: While GTrans does want our staff lot chargers to have the ability to charge staff and visitors for charging, there is no definite plan at this time. Chargers, however, will not be open to the general public.
Q7: There is an existing EVSE on the north end of the CMU wall between the transit yard and the employee/visitor parking, inside the transit yard. Will this remain in place, be removed, or be relocated? Is modification to this EVSE to be included in or excluded from our bid?
A7: The existing EV charger on the north end of the CMU wall between the transit yard and employee/visitor parking can be removed and/or abandoned in place. This parking stall can then be included in the spaces which receive new chargers, which is to be included in your bid.
Q8: What is the height of existing/future buses?
A8: See Question #3.
Q9: The existing PV canopy structure is painted to match surrounding buildings. Should it be assumed that canopy structures and/or conduit are to be painted to match? A9: Yes. Please include budget to paint any PV canopy structures to match the surrounding buildings and existing PV canopy structure.

CLARIFICATIONS TO RFP 2024-07 DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND
STORAGE SYSTEM
Q1: The single line diagram for the newer CNG service shows a kirk-key interlock system being installed in MS-CNG. Was this done so that the backup generator would be capable of backing up the other two feeders in MS-CNG (the motor start panels)? Or is Building A the primary focus of the generator backup?)
A1: The Generator is meant to back up two compressors through a motor controller MCC and Building A.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 2
Q2: Which circuit/feeder was metered to derive the Building A modeling data in the "Existing and CNG Load Simulations" spreadsheet (i.e. feeder 101 for distribution board "ADH")? Does that cover all loads from the older MSA service that the city would want to have backed up during an outage?
A2: While the actual feeder number metered is unknown, please assume it was Feeder 101 for distribution board ADH for the purposes of this bid, and that it does cover all Building A loads which the City would want to have backed up during an outage. Distribution Board ADH powers all of Building A. The 800A spare breaker in the CNG switch gear is specifically for Building A.
Q3: According to section 4.4.1(I) of “Attachment 2 - General Design Requirements,” a fire suppression system is required for the energy storage system. The CA Fire Code only requires fire suppression systems for energy storage under certain conditions (such as indoor ESS installations or installations of walk-in ESS units), and some energy storage system models do not allow for a manufacturer-approved fire suppression system installation. Can you confirm that this requirement for fire suppression systems will still apply regardless of the ESS model and siting in the proposed design? A3: GTrans and the City of Gardena defer to LA County’s fire codes and regulations, as seen in Section 1206. Bidding contractors shall propose BESS systems which comply with all applicable codes and standards, including those which govern the use of fire suppression systems so that the installation of these systems can be permitted by relevant AHJs.
Q4: Is the City a member of a Community Choice Aggregation? If yes, what generation type are the GTrans meters on?
A4: No, the City of Gardena is not on Community Choice Aggregation.
Q5: Has the City submitted an SGIP application yet?
A5: No, the City has not yet submitted a SGIP application yet. Respondents are encouraged to check out both SCE's and SCG's SGIP programs, rebates and eligibility Q6: Is the Depot serviced by SoCalGas?
A6: Yes, GTrans is served by SoCal Gas.
Q7: Will the islanding mode of the microgrid project need to automatically switch to and from islanded mode?
A7: Yes, if considering the added value option listed in Section 4.8, islanding microgrid functionality, the microgrid should be able to switch automatically over to backup power in the R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 3
event of a grid outage.
Q8: Can GTrans confirm if a dollar savings performance guarantee is acceptable for the BESS, or is GTrans only looking for an uptime guarantee? A8: In addition to submitting an uptime guarantee as requested, GTrans encourages bidders to submit alternative performance guarantee terms if deemed beneficial.
Q9: Can GTrans confirm if it is acceptable not to install a fire suppression system if the BESS has safety certifications that address fire concerns, such as UL1973 and UL9540A? A9: GTrans defers to LA County Fire’s codes and regulations for BESS (Section 1206) which govern the use of fire suppression systems for BESS systems. Any system proposed should be compliant with all applicable codes and standards so that it can be permitted by the relevant AHJs.
Q10: Can the City share a PDF bill for each meter within the last 3 months? Or provide the estimated tariff for each meter?
A10: The main meter uses SCE's TOU-GS-3-CPP rate tariff and the CNG meter uses SCE's TOU-8-D rate tariff.
Q11: When was the existing solar system installed?
A11: The solar system was installed in 2009.
Q12: The RFP states in several locations that “the Contractor will need to follow all the requirements of the State and Local Public Grant dollars being used for this project” and “This project will be funded with various sources of grant funding, and the selected contractor should demonstrate their ability to comply with all project funding stipulations”, however those requirements and stipulations are not included in the RFP. Please provide these requirements and stipulations.
A12: Grants requirements fall mostly on GTrans and does not list any specific tasks or compliance for the contractor, other than standard requirements, such as prevailing wage, certified payroll, etc. GTrans can share the grant information with the awarded Proposer afterwards.
Q13: Section 6.3 of the RFP indicates that proposers should account for missing conduits from the main CNG switchgear to the generator location for the block heater and battery tender. Please provide clarification on what those conduit size requirements are for both the block heater and the battery tender.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 4
A13: The conduit sizing for the block heater and battery tender will depend upon the generator selected as part of the initial design work. Please make assumptions based on the installation of a 1000kW Generator and true up can be addressed via change order once design is complete.
Q14: The Attachment 2 - General Design Requirements document in the Warranty section, under Equipment warranty requirements it states, “Contractor shall provide a comprehensive ten (10) year warranty on all system components against defects in materials and workmanship under normal application, installation, and use and service conditions.” However, in the following Workmanship section it states that “Contractor shall have a minimum workmanship warranty of 1 year. Warranty shall ensure that: A. The design, assembly, and installation are all done correctly, B. The system will perform as expected—without malfunction, C. Any defects that may arise will be fixed free of charge.” Please confirm that the workmanship warranty for all equipment, system components, and installation is one year and not 10-years.
A14: Workmanship warranty is, indeed, requested at 1 year. The 10-year warranty shall be the minimum warranty on system components.
Q15: Would the City of Gardena like us to include Domestic Content solar modules in our proposal or would they prioritize a proposal based on an imported solar module with a lower price?
A15: GTrans would like to see best value pricing whether it is Domestic Content solar modules or imported solar modules.
Q16: Please provide Title Report and the Gear Submittals.
A16: These documents can be provided upon request to the awarded Contractor.
Q17: Can you confirm the concrete thickness is 10”?
A17: It is 10" in the yard and 4' in the CNG compound.
Q18: Is it okay to place the columns near the wall on the staff parking lot side, and are there any safety/security concerns with this?
A18: At this time, GTrans does not have any safety or security concerns with placing columns near the wall on the staff parking lot side, however, GTrans reserves the right to change this response upon further review of the Proposer's plans.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 5
Q19: Is any phasing required for this project?
A19: Please follow phases indicated in Section 4.6.1 in the RFP, unless normal daily bus operation will be affected. Additionally, as per Section 6.3, GTrans requests the generator specs within 90 days of project kickoff.
Q20: Should the Staff/Visitor EV Chargers be removed from the system during an outage/Island Mode activation?
A20: Yes, islanded operation should prioritize bus and bus operations above staff and visitor EV charging.
Q21: Are wall-mounted EV Chargers and conduit acceptable for the Fleet chargers? A21: Yes, wall-mounted is the preferred method.
Q22: Will the Clean Energy Xendee model be provided/shared to validate system specifications?
A22: To the best of our knowledge Clean Energy did not create a Xendee model that could be shared.
Q23: Can you provide the agreement between GTrans and SCE for the Charge Ready service/program?
A23: GTrans will discuss this further with the awarded vendor.
Q24: Would GTrans like to be responsible for managing communications with the battery software provider to ensure that the battery is meeting the performance guarantee requirements, or would they like the Developer to be responsible for this under the Professional Services Agreement?
A24: GTrans would like the developer to be responsible for maintaining battery performance throughout the ongoing professional services O&M agreement. Please see Question #2 in Addendum #1.
Q25: Can GTrans confirm if a battery cycling or battery degradation performance guarantee is acceptable in lieu of an uptime guarantee? R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 6
A25: See Question #8.
Q26: If a 20-year BESS warranty is not available, is a 15-year warranty acceptable? What is the primary objective behind requesting a 20-year battery warranty? A26: The intent of requesting a longer battery warranty as an add-alternate was to more closely align the warranties of the BESS and solar PV system. If the Bidding Contractor chooses to submit an add alternate and a 20-year warranty is unavailable, please provide the longest possible warranty. If the Contractor is unable to provide a 20-year warranty they will NOT be deemed unresponsive but will be scored accordingly.
Q27: The selection criteria scoring sheet has a higher evaluation weight for pricing at 35% vs value-add option at 5%. Can GTrans please confirm that low pricing should be prioritized over resiliency?
A27: GTrans gives more weight to demonstrated system long term value than the ability to island during an outage, but ideally would like the ability to island, as well.
Q28: The Form K Bid Bond only states that we would have to enter into a Contract with the City, in the manner and time specified, but doesn't specific a time. Could you please clarity?
A28: Potential Contractor’s bid bonds (Form K) will be null and void if: 1) the proposal is rejected, or 2) the proposal is accepted and awarded at the time specified by the City of Gardena.
Contractors whose proposals will be rejected will be notified by written notice. The awarding Contractor will be notified of the specific date when their contract will be presented to the City Council for final approval.
Q29: Please provide the specific grant language that the contractor will be required to adhere to during construction. Because of the bid bond and design build nature of project, the contractor will need to understand any and all requirements for the contractor prior A29: See question #12.
Q30: How often is the manual CNG defueling assembly used? A30: The CNG defueling assembly is only used occasionally.
Q31: Would the city be interested in seeing an adder for incorporating DBE/SBE suppliers into our pricing?
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 7
A31: While GTrans is not requiring a DBE/SBE, it is encouraged for Contractor Bidders to incorporate DBE/SBEs into their project team to meet GTrans' internal commitment of 3% DBE.
Q32: Which EV charger OEM is City working with for EV charging currently and what City’s preferences going forward?
A32: At this time, no hardware provider and/or software provider has been selected. GTrans is open to proposals including any provider which follows the requirements set forth in Addendum #1 and which will ensure high levels of system reliability and user experience.
Q33: We reviewed the RFP materials and found a discrepancy between the RFP doc and the Layout materials: one design calls for 32A employee parking, while the other mentions 40A employee parking ports. Could the City please clarify which power level they would prefer for the employee ports and employee make-ready? It’s a small difference but adds up over 24 ports!
A33: GTrans is looking for 32A (6.6kW) charging for employee parking. This equates to 40A breakers at the panels.
Q34: Is the area indicated in Attachment 1, page 2 the proposed installation area for both BESS systems described under Base Project #1? Or is the location of the BESS for the Existing Meter up to the proposing Contractor?
A34: The area indicated in Attachment 1, page 2 for BESS systems can be for both (existing meter & CNG meter) BESS systems. If bidders see a different/better area for the BESS system for the existing meter, please note this in your bid. We appreciate any efficiencies you may find from your experience.
Q35: Should the Fleet EV Chargers (non-GTrans Busses) be removed or curtailed from the system during an outage/Island Mode activation?
A35: GTrans would like the ability to curtail but not eliminate microtransit fleet EV charging during an outage/Island Mode activation on the original meter with the existing generator, new BESS, and new solar PV.

DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENERGY AND STORAGE SYSTEM Page | 33 SECTION 6 – SCOPE OF WORK
6.1 General
Design documents shall be prepared and conform to applicable codes, design professional standards and standards of care. Awarded Contractor shall perform, diligently prosecute and complete the work in a good and workmanlike manner within contract time, and in strict conformity with all design documents. The design-builder shall produce required documentation in sufficient detail to obtain all regulatory approvals requested for design, construction and operation of the system, including but not limited to all federal, state, and local permits. Securing all approvals, all permits and paying all fees shall be the sole responsibility of design-builder. To that end, the Contractor shall provide a design acceptable to the state, county and local authorities having jurisdiction over this project. The proposed design shall be suitable for construction under the guidelines and regulations in effect at the time the agreement is executed. GTrans will not accept responsibility for cost increases or delays resulting from inaccurate interpretation of existing codes and standards at the time of submittal to the appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for approval.
The scope of this Project is all-inclusive and includes planning, engineering, labor, materials, delivery, installation, as well as maintenance as described below. Contractor shall apply for and obtain all necessary permits from applicable regulatory agencies including federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
If additional due diligence identifies deficiencies with a potential site, Contractor must address this issue in their Proposal and present potential solutions to GTrans. It is the responsibility of Contractor to perform sufficient due diligence to determine what will be required for proper implementation at each site.
In addition to collaborating with GTrans to maximize grant, incentive and tax rebate (e.g. Investment Tax Credit (ITC)) eligibility, the Contractor will be responsible for strategically leveraging this financial incentive to optimize project costs and overall project outcomes. This involves a thorough understanding of the eligibility requirements for each, which typically applies to renewable energy projects such as solar installations.
The Contractor will work closely with GTrans to assess the project scope, budget, and timelines to determine the most advantageous approach to utilizing additional grants, incentives and tax rebates.
This may involve conducting a detailed analysis of the potential tax savings and evaluating the implications of either retaining the tax credit for themselves or assisting GTrans in filing for the credit through the direct pay option.
If the Contractor opts to take grants, incentives or tax rebates themselves for an equivalent reduction in project cost, they must ensure compliance with all relevant tax laws and regulations. This may involve coordination with financial advisors or tax professionals to navigate the complexities of claiming the tax credit and optimizing the financial benefits for all parties involved.
Alternatively, if the Contractor assists GTrans in filing for specific grants, incentives or tax rebates which involve a direct pay option, they will be responsible for guiding GTrans through the application process, providing necessary documentation, and ensuring timely submission to maximize the financial benefit.
This involves meticulous attention to detail and proactive communication to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Ultimately, the Contractor's expertise in managing grant, incentive or rebate eligibility and tax credit GTrans RFP 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENERGY AND STORAGE SYSTEM Page | 34 applications will play a crucial role in maximizing cost savings, enhancing project affordability, and achieving overall project success for GTrans. By effectively navigating the complexities of the additional external funding process, the Contractor can contribute to the financial viability and sustainability of the project while supporting GTrans in their decarbonization and energy efficiency goals.
6.2 Solar PV and BESS
GTrans intends to hire a design-build Contractor to design and construct a turnkey solar PV and BESS system on the Project Site to generate energy and offset electrical loads from both on-site electrical meters serving existing facilities and the CNG fueling station. Contractors may also propose upgrading/replacing existing solar PV and supporting infrastructure (inverter, DAS, etc) if financially prudent. GTrans is seeking Proposals that include a direct purchase of the project using non-federal grant funding. The Contractor shall consider the Site’s available solar resources; Site electrical switchboard bus ampacity(s); shading impacts of nearby obstacles; geotechnical, structural and load constraints; available space; utility interconnection requirements; ADA accessibility compliance; applicable Federal, California state, and local ordinances and codes; budget constraints; environmental issues and other relevant factors. Contractor will be responsible for all activities related to interconnection and metering through Southern California Edison (SCE) and City of Gardena. For bidding purposes, two different approximate system sizes are envisioned:
• Existing Meter + EV Load: 550kW Solar PV, 700kW/1400kWh BESS • CNG Meter + Bldg A Load: 440kW Solar PV, 450kW/900kWh BESS
6.3 Natural Gas Generator
GTrans intends to hire a design-build Contractor to design and construct all infrastructure to integrate a natural gas generator into the site. The existing CNG storage design and installation project included provisions for a 1250KVA natural gas generator but did not procure or install the generator as part of that scope of work. The Contractor shall consider CNG compression and fueling loads as well as Building A loads to validate the generator size and suitability. While GTrans will be responsible for the procurement of the generator using Federal grant dollars, the Design-Builder will be responsible for generator installation, civil improvements, electrical connections and tie-in to existing manual transfer switch, procurement and installation of the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), and repowering of Building A from the new CNG Main Switchboard. Design-Builder should review CNG plans and attachments to understand existing work. It is the intent of this RFP that the Design-Builder will instruct GTrans on the appropriate generator to procure and design, install, and commission a fully functional backup generation system. This part of the scope should be prioritized (within 90 days of project kick off) due to long lead times of generator equipment procurement.
Upon inspection of the installation, GTrans has already noted that there is no conduit from the main CNG switchgear to the generator location for the block heater and battery tender. The Design-Builder should account for adding this in their design and pricing.
6.4 Selected Solar PV Sites and Supporting Information
Attachment 1 – Site Overview provides preliminary solar array locations for the Site as well as the approximate annual electricity usage for the applicable loads. Contractors may use this data as a reference for further design of the turnkey solution.
Attachment 6 – Supporting Documents contains additional information to be used as a guide in developing proposed PV system sizes. Should Contractors disagree with or want to further refine the GTrans RFP 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENERGY AND STORAGE SYSTEM Page | 35 estimated meter loads provided, please include your assumptions used when creating simulated load profiles for both meters.
Contractors shall submit pricing for the system sizes prescribed above and are encouraged to submit alternative system designs should their experience indicate there is a materially different system size which maximizes financial net benefit to GTrans under NEM 3.0 rules, using solar and battery technology to minimize uncompensated exports. Full as-built documents for the CNG installation and the existing site are included as part of Attachment 6, Supporting Documentation.
Contractors must submit a schedule for design and installation of the Site. It is anticipated that construction of the Project will occur year-round, and that the Contractor will prioritize work to minimize disturbance to GTrans operations with construction phasing plans and parking closures approved by GTrans before proceeding.
6.5 General Design and Service Requirements of the Solar PV And BESS The successful Contractor will be responsible for completing “turnkey” PV and BESS Systems on the sites, including design/engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, installation and equipment commissioning/start-up, permitting, and ongoing operations and maintenance. The Contractor will act as the primary liaison with permitting and licensing agencies.
Contractors are expected to specify equipment control systems (Solar Data Acquisition Systems, Battery Storage Control, EV Charger Control) which are able to provide real time operational data and accept control signals via commonly accepted open protocols standards. As part of this work, Contractors will be expected to coordinate with GTrans and their existing site control vendors to figure out the best way for all systems to communicate together and operate in a way which maximizes the benefit to GTrans.
Products, components, construction, and installations must comply with applicable codes, standards, and rating methodologies. Minimum requirements of a general nature are outlined in Attachment 2 – General Design Requirements; the requirements described are not intended to be complete or comprehensive. Further detail for specifications can be found in the latest edition of Greenbook:
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. Attachment 2 and Greenbook are intended to provide Contractors with an overview of the general requirements; the following do not modify, limit or waive requirements established by the Agreement or GTrans’ General Conditions as awarded.
6.6 Additional Charging Infrastructure Scope of Work
GTrans intends to electrify its Microtransit fleet as well as provide EV charging for its employees’ vehicles. With the cutover of Building A to their CNG meter, additional electric capacity will be freed up on their existing site meter which GTrans would like to dedicate to installing Level 2 EV charging for the above vehicle types. See Attachment 1 – Site Overview for an illustration regarding this plan. As GTrans’ Microtransit fleet is still under transition, GTrans envisions that the Contractor will install eight (8) 80A Level 2 EVSE to serve their Microtransit fleet, with provisioning for eleven (11) more stalls along the eastern wall inside their transit yard. On the other side of this wall, and potentially sharing the same infrastructure, GTrans would like to install an additional five (5) 40A Level 2 EVSE for their employees and guests. As they would like to disrupt employee parking once in the near term future, they would also like the contractor to install conduit for another nineteen (19) chargers for employee and visitor parking. The stalls under consideration for EV charging in the main lot are not assigned stalls, but they are reserved for staff and GTrans visitors only. They are not open to the general public.
As these growing EV charging loads are envisioned to be served by GTrans’ main existing meter, a GTrans RFP 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENERGY AND STORAGE SYSTEM Page | 36 charge management system should be proposed to ensure charging demand does not exceed the existing switchgear capacity, and that charging demand can be limited during high peak rate times. EV Chargers should be able to communicate via SIM card and not need GTrans’ local network for communication.
Security lighting should be added to areas where vehicles will be plugging in and appropriate provisions for ADA stalls (Van accessible and standard) should also be made in the employee parking lot which connect to existing paths of travel.

PROJECT DESIGN
1. System
a. System Description and Sizing Methodology
3 We are proposing (4) west-facing carport style PV canopies to meet the requested 555 kWdc in the outlined scope. We validated the provided system size using the interval and maximum demand data. This data also confirmed our calculations to de-rate the service’s main breaker to allow for a load side PV interconnection, thus enabling a cost-effective means incorporate an islanded microgrid system should utility power be lost. 3 All canopies will have a minimum of 13’ away from floor (away from ground) clearance to ensure that all GTrans employees and visitors can safely park their vehicles. 3 The PV System and BESS will be load-side connected to reduce shutdown duration (cutover), reduce lengthy utility coordination, and ensure full Microgrid compatibility for GTrans. Our proposed system has been simulated using the ELM MG BESS and Microgrid Controller and has enough flexibility to accommodate additional power output, up to 530kw without adjusting breaker settings.
3 The PV system will also have production monitoring and reporting through MySiteIQ to better track the health and status of the system. The microgrid system will also have a user interface to monitor the BESS health and current status of the microgrid system in island mode. b. Preliminary Site Plan Description
3 Please see above (a) and below (c) as well as the helioscope and site plan overview. c. System Footprint and Physical Layout
3 Staff PV System
1. This system will utilize 4 separate canopies to achieve 555.1 kWdc.
2. The four canopies will cover the middle staff parking island (54’ x 187’, 10,014 sqft), the majority of the eastern perimeter wall (53’ x 240’, 12,472 sqft), the small south-eastern perimeter wall (40’ x 84’, 3,360 sqft), and the small south island (55’ x 97’, 5,335 sqft)for a total footprint of roughly 31,181 sqft.

3 PV Staff, CNG Service
1. PV: 555.1 kWp / 472 kW AC
2. BESS: 400 kW / 1,668 kWh
f. Key Design and Construction Features to Optimize Performance and Aesthetics 3 Flexible Microgrid Design
1. Our design for the CNG service allows full microgrid capability with the ability to increase the power output of the BESS should it be needed once in Engineering Design. Our BESS PCS can be derated to the requested 400kw to reduce infrastructure costs, or be future proofed to allow for a higher KW output should GTrans need it in the future. Additionally, our design could allow some or all of the EV chargers to remain on the system, capacity allowing, or they could be shed to extend the BESS duration during islanding mode. ▶ When a qualifying event such as an outage occurs, the microgrid controller will open the service motorized breaker and engage the BESS to begin discharging and reform the grid.
Once blackstart occurs, the microgrid controller will enable as much PV solar that the BESS can handle, to begin supporting the system.
▶ Based on current maximum demand readings and interval data provided by GTrans, our microgrid design would be able to support 8+ hours of islanding during limited or zero PV solar production.
▶ In the event that the utility outage or qualifying event extends past the BESS’ capability to island, the future NG Generator would sustain the microgrid until PV Production can recharge the BESS and repeat the cycle until the microgrid controller senses a stable utility connection.
3 Limited Cutover and Impact to Operations
1. Our design will enable construction to occur without a shutdown for the majority of the construction timeline. Once a cutover is required, it will be limited to after-hours operation and coordinated well in advance with GTrans to ensure Operations is impacted as little as possible. ▶ The majority of the EV charger, PV Solar Canopy and new BESS work will require only a few new trenches or bores and should not significantly impact facility operations. While some areas will need to be kept clear, our construction strategy is to offset some of the construction so that GTrans Operations and staff always have at least some access to parking or the bus yard.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 16 3 Improved Charging Layout Efficiency
1. While most engineering firms simply assign one parking stall per EV charger cord, we prefer our clients get the most bang for their buck. By moving EV chargers intended to be in islanded parking stalls into the middle-corner of the stalls, the 18’-23’ charging cord can easily reach an additional vehicle (or more).
2. This means that the charger has potentially doubled its utilization, especially if the vehicle that was parked in the originally assigned stall has already finished charging. g. Proprietary Products or Strategies
3 SitelogIQ operates an onsite energy management services program, called MySiteIQ, that can be used to bolster energy savings via operational and behavioral efficiency gains. This program features energy and utility data in a clean, common platform allowing GTrans to see trends and utilize expert advice from our energy engineers. With the additional energy savings achieved, this program can add significant dollars back into the general fund. 3 We can create and implement a comprehensive energy program specific to GTrans including, but not limited to, a utility dashboard and energy analysis, recommendations for energy efficiency, site walks and training of staff, incorporation of all utilities including electric, natural gas and water and continuous monitoring.
h. Identified Issues and Resolutions
3 ADA EV Charging
1. One of the major challenges with employee or publicly accessible EV chargers is the CBC required ADA EV stalls. For many sites, it is not as simple as adding additional ADA compliant stalls since every site and parking layout it unique. While GTrans staff did already outline an excellent area to likely place the ADA EV stalls, additional work will likely be necessary to ensure Path of Travel slope and cross-slopes are met to an accessible building entrance.
2. Our engineers present during the various site visits have already determined several options to overcome this obstacle, including the option presented in the Site Plan and Overview exhibit.
This option results in the loss of one additional parking stall; however, it ensures that there is enough clearance for the parking stall landing, EV charger and eliminates GTrans’ risk of ADA EV related lawsuits.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 17 i. Wind and Dust Mitigation Measures
3 To address wind exposure, SitelogIQ ensures all parking lot canopy structures are designed and engineered to meet applicable local wind load codes, such as ASCE 7-16, minimizing uplift and lateral force impacts, up to 94 mph. For dust mitigation, inverters and battery enclosures are NEMA 4X-rated enclosures to prevent dust ingress. Additionally, we implement routine operations and maintenance protocols—including periodic solar panel cleaning and inverter and air intake filter replacement—to maintain system efficiency and reliability in dusty environments.

O&M, PERFORMANCE
GUARANTEE
SitelogIQ operates a dedicated commercial service group based in Ontario, California. Our in-house technicians are equipped to perform routine and annual service on solar PV systems, energy storage systems (BESS), data acquisition systems and general electrical infrastructure. To further ensure timely and reliable service, we also engage trusted local subcontractors—such as Herzog Electric— for supplemental support.
We are committed to delivering BESS operations and maintenance services in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications over the life of the agreement. This includes real-time monitoring to ensure proper system functionality and availability. Our scope extends beyond the BESS to cover the interconnection and supporting electrical infrastructure critical to system performance. Standard maintenance activities include annual inspections of BESS components and electrical connections.
By adopting a standardized solar and battery platform, SitelogIQ can maintain a stock of commonly needed replacement parts, reducing downtime and minimizing service disruptions. Whether services are performed by SitelogIQ technicians or qualified third-party providers, all work will conform to the manufacturer’s O&M manual and warranty terms.
SitelogIQ has reviewed the Professional Services Agreement and submitted proposed redlines for consideration. Once the system configuration and size are finalized, we will identify solar PV production targets, the degradation rate, BESS uptime guarantees and applicable shortfall (penalty) rates—standard elements of O&M and Performance Guarantee (PeGu) contracts.

ADDED VALUE OPTIONS
In addition to the core project scope, SitelogIQ is pleased to offer the following value-added options.
These enhancements align with GTrans’ mission of delivering sustainable, resilient and communityfocused transportation services. Each option has been thoughtfully designed to maximize long-term value, operational reliability and stakeholder benefit.
Optional Suggested: Maximized Value Within Budget
Using the difference between the proposed cost for the base scope and the City’s earmarked threshold of $6.1 million, the City could benefit from increased scale across multiple facets of the scope, furthering utility cost savings, demand reduction, and/or EV charging capabilities. Examples of scope items that could be scaled up include an additional 130 kW-DC of solar, 225 kW of increased BESS capacity, 0.55 hours of increased BESS duration (approximately 454 kWh), and a 45% increase of electric vehicle supply equipment and receptacles from the base scope. Of these options, we suggest increased BESS duration to maximize value from demand reduction and added resiliency.
Option 1. Designing for Longevity
Based on conversations with GTrans staff and provided plans, it is clear that GTrans is taking the next step into a greener and cleaner transportation world with SCE’s Charge Ready Fleet program. By oversizing the staff EV distribution board ‘DB-EV’, we can allow GTrans much greater flexibility with adding additional EV chargers in the future.
Since this distribution board is planned to be located in the bus yard already, the future construction cost to add conduit for EV chargers would be significantly reduced.
The additional cost of this option is included in Attachment 3 Cost Proposal under Value Add In Options.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 25 GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 26 Option 2. Real-time Visualization and Monitoring
Through SitelogIQ’s platform, MySiteIQ, we can display a variety of screens in the Administrative Building A waiting room and/or through an online interface on the City’s/GTrans’ homepage. These can be customized to any electric data used or generated and can be used separated into public facing dashboards and staff dashboards. Examples include distributed generation by month, electric/natural gas cost trends and carbon footprint summary. Images on the following page.
The additional cost of this remote system visualization option is included in Attachment 3 Cost Proposal under Value Add In Options
Option 3. Community Engagement
While much of the project’s impact occurs behind the scenes, we believe it’s important to highlight GTrans’ leadership in clean energy to the public. Our team will support community engagement efforts through signage, digital outreach and educational programming to demonstrate the positive impact of this investment.
This reinforces rider trust, encourages sustainable behavior and elevates public perception of GTrans as a sustainability leader. The cost of this engagement support is included in the base project.
The following enhancements are not included in the base project cost but can be explored further in collaboration with GTrans:
Option 4. Service and Monitoring of Existing Solar
Through the energy management services program, MySiteIQ, additional energy savings can be generated from the maintenance, optimization and ultimate tracking of GTrans’s existing solarphotovoltaic bus canopy. The additional energy savings achieved, when combined with the new prospective solar-photovoltaic installations, can yield even larger utility cost avoidance and demand reduction than the new prospective solar-photovoltaic installations solely.
We view these value-added options as opportunities to deepen our partnership with GTrans and ensure that this project not only meets current objectives but also supports long-term operational, environmental and community goals. We welcome continued collaboration to refine these enhancements and tailor the final implementation to GTrans’ evolving needs. Together, we can deliver a resilient, future-ready solution that provides lasting value to the agency and the community it serves.

NEW 125,000 SQ FT. FACILITY
NOW OPEN The Colony, TX
4300 Live Oak
The Colony, TX 75056
The MG Series now incudes the MG 1500, our most
powerful system to date. It utilizes EPC’s CAB 1000
inverter, now at 1.5MW 690VAC. This represents a 50%
increase in output from our first generation systems.
The containers mount essentially flush, only needing
10 inches of separation on the 2 short sides. This allows the back side to be mounted flush to a wall or another
container.
The ESS interconnection between the battery
containers is now situated on the roof. This greatly
reduces the amount of underground conduits and
shrinks the overall footprint.
The MG Series is transitioning from NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) to LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries,
extending the battery life from 15 to 20 years, while also adopting liquid cooling over air cooling for improved
efficiency.
We have extended the uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) capability to 24-48 hours, a significant enhancement from the previous 45-minute UPS capacity.
To streamline installation and ensure quality control,
batteries will now be installed in the factory rather than on-site. This also drastrically reduces labor costs and time for our customers!

ELM MicroGrid, a trusted name in battery energy storage, is excited to introduce our second-generation BESS.
Our latest MG Series is a streamlined system that is packed with even more power.

Subject: GTrans RFP #2024-07 Revised Scope & Proposal Request Dear Proposers,
Thank you for your continued patience for GTrans’ RFP #2024-07, “Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Battery Storage.”
Due to higher-than-expected proposed cost totals and current uncertainty around incentives/tax credits, GTrans must reduce the project scope to stay within its budget. GTrans includes three (3) files that are necessary to support the revised proposal request. Those attachments and their purposes are described below.
GTrans is requesting the revised proposals to be submitted via PlanetBids by no later than August 6, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. PST. Questions and request for information are to be submitted via PlanetBids by no later than July 22, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. PST. If the revised proposal is submitted after the deadline, the proposal may be rejected in its entirety.
Evaluation and scoring methodology will remain the same as set forth in RFP 2024-07.
Evaluation committee shall review all submittals (original proposal and the revised proposal) in its final evaluation.
The revised proposal shall be based on the terms and conditions set forth in RFP 2024-07 and all addenda set forth. In the event of a conflict between previously released information and the information contained herein, the latter shall control.
The revised files are as follows:
1. Attachment 1- Site Overview, which provides:
a. Relevant electrical details for interconnection
b. Available areas for development of energy systems
c. Desired quantities and specifications for EVSE
2. Attachment 2 – Revised Scope of Work Description, which provides:
a. A written description of the revised scope
b. Updated timeline for revised proposal submission
3. Attachment 3 – Cost Proposal & Load Data, which provides:
a. A table to insert proposed system specifications and pricing details b. A table detailing the hourly consumption data of the loads to be offset c. A table to insert hourly PV production and BESS charge/discharge data Thank you for your continued interest in working with GTrans, and we look forward to considering your revised proposal.
Sincerely,
Dana E. Pynn
Assistant Director of Transportation

PROJECT DESIGN
1. System
a. System Description and Sizing Methodology
3 We are proposing (4) carport style PV canopies to meet the requested 990 kWdc in the outlined scope.
1. We validated the provided system sizes using the interval and maximum demand data for both services. This data also confirmed our calculations to de-rate both services’ main breakers to allow for a load side PV interconnection, thus enabling a cost-effective means incorporate both systems as microgrids should GTrans desire.
3 The PV system will be split into two segments for the main service and CNG service, a 561 kWdc array and a 431 kWdc array, respectively.
1. All canopies will have a minimum of 15’ away from floor (away from ground) clearance to ensure that all GTrans buses and possible future double deck buses have the required clearance to navigate the site without collision concerns.
3 Both PV systems and their respective BESS will be load-side connected to reduce shutdown duration, reduce utility coordination and ensure Microgrid compatibility if GTrans desires additional resiliency. See section 4.5.1.F below for more details on proposed Microgrid features. 3 Both PV systems will also have production monitoring and reporting through MySiteIQ to better track the health and status of the system.
b. Preliminary Site Plan Description
3 Please see above (a) and below (c) as well as the helioscope and site plan overview. c. System Footprint and Physical Layout
3 Bus PV System
1. This system will utilize a single canopy to achieve 561 kWdc and will take up the majority of the bus lineup towards Building B, measuring approximately 310’ x 100’ for a footprint of roughly 31,770 sqft. 3 Staff PV System
1. This system will utilize 3 separate canopies to achieve 431 kWdc.
2. The three canopies will cover the middle staff parking island (54’ x 187’, 10,014 sqft), the majority of the eastern perimeter wall (53’ x 240’, 12,472 sqft) and the small south-eastern perimeter wall (35’ x 82’, 2,996 sqft) for a total footprint of roughly 25,482 sqft.

4. BESS: 601.93 kW AC / 1203.86 kWh
f. Key Design and Construction Features to Optimize Performance and Aesthetics 3 Integrated Microgrid Design
1. Our design for each service allows full microgrid capability with only a small amount of additional infrastructure and coordination. By locating the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) on the load side of the main service breaker coupled with a microgrid controller, we could easily establish an additional level of resiliency that would substantially lower the burden and usage of the natural gas and diesel generators.
▶ When a qualifying event such as an outage occurs, the microgrid controller will open the service motorized breaker and engage the BESS to begin discharging and reform the grid.
Once blackstart occurs, the microgrid controller will enable as much PV solar that the BESS can handle, to begin supporting the system.
▶ Based on current maximum demand readings and interval data provided by GTrans, our microgrid design would be able to support 2 to 5+ hours of islanding during limited or zero PV solar production.
▶ In the event that the utility outage or qualifying event extends past the BESS’ capability to island, the NG Generator and on-site diesel generator will engage to keep critical facilities online until the microgrid controller senses a stable utility connection.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 16 3 Limited Cutover & Impact to Operations
1. Our design will enable construction to occur without a shutdown for the majority of the construction timeline. Once a cutover is required, it will be limited to after-hours operation and coordinated well in advance with GTrans to ensure Operations is impacted as little as possible. ▶ The transition to move Building A’s service from the Main Service to the CNG Service would require relatively little downtime since the new conduit work and pre-intercept work can occur during business hours.
▶ The majority of the EV charger, PV Solar Canopy and new BESS work will require only a few new trenches or bores and should not significantly impact facility operations. While some areas will need to be kept clear, our construction strategy is to offset some of the construction so that GTrans Operations and staff always have at least some access to parking or the bus yard.
3 Improved Charging Layout Efficiency
1. While most engineering firms simply assign one parking stall per EV charger cord, we prefer our clients get the most bang for their buck. By moving EV chargers intended to be in islanded parking stalls into the middle-corner of the stalls, the 18’-23’ charging cord can easily reach an additional vehicle (or more).
2. This means that the charger has potentially doubled its utilization, especially if the vehicle that was parked in the originally assigned stall has already finished charging. g. Proprietary Products or Strategies
3 SitelogIQ operates an onsite energy management services program, called MySiteIQ, that can be used to bolster energy savings via operational and behavioral efficiency gains. This program features energy and utility data in a clean, common platform allowing GTrans to see trends and utilize expert advice from our energy engineers. With the additional energy savings achieved, this program can add significant dollars back into the general fund.
3 We can create and implement a comprehensive energy program specific to GTrans including, but not limited to, a utility dashboard and energy analysis, recommendations for energy efficiency, site walks and training of staff, incorporation of all utilities including electric, natural gas and water and continuous monitoring.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 17 h. Identified Issues and Resolutions
3 ADA EV Charging
1. One of the major challenges with employee or publicly accessible EV chargers is the CBC required ADA EV stalls. For many sites, it is not as simple as adding additional ADA compliant stalls since every site and parking layout it unique. While GTrans staff did already outline an excellent area to likely place the ADA EV stalls, additional work will likely be necessary to ensure Path of Travel slope and cross-slopes are met to an accessible building entrance.
2. Our engineers present during the various site visits have already determined several options to overcome this obstacle, including the option presented in the Site Plan and Overview exhibit. This option results in the loss of one additional parking stall; however, it ensures that there is enough clearance for the parking stall landing, EV charger and eliminates GTrans’ risk of ADA EV related lawsuits.
i. Wind and Dust Mitigation Measures
3 To address wind exposure, SitelogIQ ensures all parking lot canopy structures are designed and engineered to meet applicable local wind load codes, such as ASCE 7-16, minimizing uplift and lateral force impacts, up to 94 mph. For dust mitigation, inverters and battery enclosures are NEMA 4X-rated enclosures to prevent dust ingress. Additionally, we implement routine operations and maintenance protocols—including periodic solar panel cleaning and inverter and air intake filter replacement—to maintain system efficiency and reliability in dusty environments.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
SitelogIQ has developed a preliminary implementation schedule based on a Design Notice to Proceed (NTP) in July 2025, followed by construction mobilization in late 2025 into January 2026.
The proposed schedule identifies key milestones across design, permitting, utility coordination, equipment procurement, construction and final commissioning. The overall project timeline is driven by long-lead equipment procurement (approximately 12 months) and utility coordination— both of which define the project’s critical path. SitelogIQ is prepared to place orders for equipment specifically the BESS, upon the Notice of Intent to Award. To mitigate utility caused delays, SitelogIQ’s approach emphasizes early engagement with the utility stakeholders and continuous coordination throughout the design and construction phases. Our schedule includes phased Permission to Operate (PTO) dates in May (solar), June (solar), November (BESS) and December 2026 (BESS and generator). A detailed Gantt-style schedule, including task durations, dependencies and milestone activities, is provided on the following pages. 21 GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System ID Task Name Duration Start Finish Predecessors

O&M, PERFORMANCE
GUARANTEE
SitelogIQ operates a dedicated commercial service group based in Ontario, California. Our in-house technicians are equipped to perform routine and annual service on solar PV systems, energy storage systems (BESS), data acquisition systems and general electrical infrastructure. To further ensure timely and reliable service, we also engage trusted local subcontractors—such as Herzog Electric— for supplemental support.
We are committed to delivering BESS operations and maintenance services in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications over the life of the agreement. This includes real-time monitoring to ensure proper system functionality and availability. Our scope extends beyond the BESS to cover the interconnection and supporting electrical infrastructure critical to system performance. Standard maintenance activities include annual inspections of BESS components and electrical connections.
By adopting a standardized solar and battery platform, SitelogIQ can maintain a stock of commonly needed replacement parts, reducing downtime and minimizing service disruptions. Whether services are performed by SitelogIQ technicians or qualified third-party providers, all work will conform to the manufacturer’s O&M manual and warranty terms.
SitelogIQ has reviewed the Professional Services Agreement and submitted proposed redlines for consideration. Once the system configuration and size are finalized, we will identify solar PV production targets, the degradation rate, BESS uptime guarantees and applicable shortfall (penalty) rates—standard elements of O&M and Performance Guarantee (PeGu) contracts.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 25 SECTION 4.8:
ADDED VALUE OPTIONS
In addition to the core project scope, SitelogIQ is pleased to offer the following value-added options.
These enhancements align with GTrans’ mission of delivering sustainable, resilient and communityfocused transportation services. Each option has been thoughtfully designed to maximize long-term value, operational reliability and stakeholder benefit.
Option 1. Microgrid (Islanding) Capability
As mentioned in the above 4.5.1 Design section, our design incorporates elements that will enable GTrans to add another level of resiliency for a small amount of additional infrastructure.
The main adders would be motorized main breakers, microgrid controllers, additional low voltage design and commissioning.
This value addition would provide GTrans with 2-5+ hours of islanding capability before needing to engage that system’s generator. For reference, SCE’s 2024 Circuit Reliability Review indicated that sustained outages in the city of Gardena averaged between 71 minutes to 115 minutes.
This option provides valuable fuel savings, reduced emissions, more independency from SCE and overall less usage of the generators for a greener and cleaner profile.
If GTrans desires, we can incorporate additional automated controls to isolate critical areas of the power distribution system from the Microgrid during islanding mode. If for example, GTrans does not desire ‘MCC-2’ (which operates Compressors B1 and B2) to be operational during islanding mode, instead of relying on staff to ensure that equipment remains off, we can add additional motorized contactors to isolate that equipment and ensure the microgrid is not burdened with unnecessary or accidental equipment usage.
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 26 Note: The current design already assumes that staff/visitor EV Chargers will be inoperable during islanding mode; however, Fleet EV chargers will remain online until the BESS reaches an emergency state of charge.
“Future-Proofing”
Based on conversations with GTrans staff and provided plans, it is clear that GTrans is taking the next step into a greener and cleaner transportation world with SCE’s Charge Ready Fleet program.
By oversizing the bus yard distribution board ‘PV-BUS’, we can allow GTrans much greater flexibility with adding additional PV Solar or to add additional EV chargers in the future.
Since this distribution board is planned to be located in the bus yard already, the future construction cost to add conduit for EV chargers or additional PV solar would be significantly reduced.
The additional cost of this option is included in Attachment 3 Cost Proposal under Value Add In Options.
Option 2. Real-time Visualization and Monitoring
Through SitelogIQ’s platform, MySiteIQ, we can display a variety of screens in the Administrative Building A waiting room and/or through an online interface on the City’s/GTrans’ homepage. These can be customized to any electric data used or generated and can be used separated into public facing dashboards and staff dashboards. Examples include distributed generation by month, electric/natural gas cost trends and carbon footprint summary. Images below:
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 27 The additional cost of this remote system visualization option is included in Attachment 3 Cost Proposal under Value Add In Options.
The City
GTrans: City of Gardena’s Transportation Department | Design and Build a Renewable Energy and Storage System 28 Option 3. Achieving Domestic Content Thresholds
Our program considers domestically sourced material that sufficiently qualifies GTrans for the Domestic Content adder, including but not limited to: steel for carport Solar- Photovoltaic structures, Solar-Photovoltaic modules manufactured by Heliene, Inc. and the base components for the proposed Battery Energy Storage Systems. These designations would therefore qualify GTrans for the Domestic Content adder for all costs allocated towards the Solar-Photovoltaic and Battery Energy Storage Systems portions of the program.
The cost of domestically sourced modules is included in the base project.
Option 4. Community Engagement
While much of the project’s impact occurs behind the scenes, we believe it’s important to highlight GTrans’ leadership in clean energy to the public. Our team will support community engagement efforts through signage, digital outreach and educational programming to demonstrate the positive impact of this investment.
This reinforces rider trust, encourages sustainable behavior and elevates public perception of GTrans as a sustainability leader. The cost of this engagement support is included in the base project.
The following enhancements are not included in the base project cost but can be explored further in collaboration with GTrans:
Option 5. In-depth Structure Analysis
The RFP identified roof areas as potential locations for solar installations. However, we have elected to concentrate the solar PV systems within the Transit (Bus) Yard and staff/visitor parking areas in the form of dual-purpose shade canopies. Without a more in-depth structural and roof condition assessment, we do not believe rooftop solar can be responsibly recommended at this stage. As part of our ongoing commitment to maximizing value while minimizing cost, we are open to revisiting the feasibility of rooftop solar and completing a full structural analysis following project award— should the analysis demonstrate that rooftop deployment would reduce costs by a measurable amount.
Option 6. Service and Monitoring of existing solar
Through the energy management services program, MySiteIQ, additional energy savings can be generated from the maintenance, optimization and ultimate tracking of GTrans’s existing solarphotovoltaic bus canopy. The additional energy savings achieved, when combined with the new prospective solar-photovoltaic installations, can yield even larger utility cost avoidance and demand reduction than the new prospective solar-photovoltaic installations solely.
We view these value-added options as opportunities to deepen our partnership with GTrans and ensure that this project not only meets current objectives but also supports long-term operational, environmental and community goals. We welcome continued collaboration to refine these enhancements and tailor the final implementation to GTrans’ evolving needs. Together, we can deliver a resilient, future-ready solution that provides lasting value to the agency and the community it serves.

Tariffs and Duties: The contract price does not include any current or future tariffs, import duties, or related surcharges on materials, equipment, or components. Any such costs imposed that directly affect the procurement of goods shall be considered a change in law and may result in a change order to adjust the contract price accordingly.
Applicable Rebates and Incentives
The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is applicable to the project scope within this bid opportunity.
The calculated ITC considers the total project cost applicable to “clean electricity investments” including Solar-Photovoltaic (PV), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), less the non-federal grant funding amount that GTrans has been awarded and has allocated towards this project.
In addition to this federal incentive, SitelogIQ is committed to identifying and maximizing state and local incentive opportunities that GTrans can capitalize on through this proposed scope of work.
This includes, but is not limited to, CPUC’s Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), CEC’s Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission (EnergIIZE) vehicles program, demand response programs offered through SoCal Edison, CEC and CPUC, etc.
In addition to the base (30%) ITC amount accomplished through this work and paying laborers at a rate equal to or greater than the respective federal prevailing wages, GTrans would be eligible for an additional 10% as the project site is located within an “Energy Community” as defined by the US Department of Energy (DOE), an additional 10% as the project site is located within a disadvantaged or “Justice40” community and an additional 10% for the work specifically applicable to PV and BESS as these installations would meet the criteria for “domestic content.” SitelogIQ would provide support regarding GTrans’s eligibility and in their application to claim the ITC via the Direct/Elective Pay Option.

ADDENDUM NO. 1
RFP No. 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND STORAGE SYSTEM
Issued March 18, 2025
The City Gardena issues this addendum before the proposals are due, to inform proposers of revisions to the Request for Proposals (RFP) package and is hereby made a part of the RFP documents. The following changes, additions, and/or clarifications shall be made to the requirements for the above-mentioned project. In case of a conflict between the original RFP package and this Addendum, this Addendum shall govern. All requirements contained in the RFP package shall apply to this Addendum, and the general character of the project called for in this Addendum shall be the same as originally set forth in the applicable portions of the RFP documents, unless otherwise specified under this Addendum. All incidental work necessitated by this Addendum, as required to complete the project, shall be included in the RFP, although not specifically mentioned in this addendum. The balance of the RFP documents shall remain unchanged.
This addendum includes modifications, clarifications and answers to questions received by GTrans beginning March 3, 2025 to March 14, 2025. Additional questions received by GTrans will be released as a separate addendum in the future. Questions received during a site walk will be labeled “SW”.
The proposer shall acknowledge receipt of this Addendum on Form B (“Transmittal Letter Form”) as part of their proposal.
MODIFICATIONS TO RFP 2024-07 DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND STORAGE SYSTEM:
1. GTrans updates Attachment 1, “Site Overview”, which can be found on the “Addenda” tab on PlanetBids. The revised Attachment A adds another page reflecting the Single Line Diagram for the Existing Meter and Facility. The revised Attachment A now matches the printouts distributed at the bid walk.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 1 P a g e | 2
2. GTrans redacts and updates the following in red from section 2.2 “Project Objectives” 2 nd
paragraph on page 5 of the RFP.
Contractors are expected to specify equipment control systems (Solar Data Acquisition Systems, Battery Storage Control, EV Charger Control) which are able to provide real time operational data and accept control signals via commonly accepted open protocols standards. As part of this work, Contractors will be expected to coordinate with GTrans and their existing site control vendors to figure out the best way for all systems to communicate together and operate in a way which maximizes the benefit to GTrans.
Contractors are expected to specify equipment hardware that is controlled by native software that allows full bi-directional (2-way) communication and control of the asset via API or over commonly accepted industry open protocol standards such as BACNet, OCPP, etc. Bi-directional communication by a 3rd party software shall also not impact the product warranty in any way. While no overarching site integration vendor has been selected at this time to coordinate generation, storage, EV charging and other site loads, specifying hardware and software which allow for communication and control of assets will provide GTrans with the most options for integration and coordination of future site operation. As part of the project, vendors will also be expected to provide documentation of how their software API functions to aid future site control integrators.
CLARIFICATIONS TO RFP 2024-07 DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND
STORAGE SYSTEM
Q1: Do you have service interruption or problems when the vault floods? (SW) A1: No, currently Building A does not experience any service interruptions or problems when the vault floods.
Q2: (Speaking of entrance by gym) Is this door a general entrance for staff to come in? (SW)
A2: Yes, the door to Building A by the parking lot is the general entrance used by staff to enter the building. Visitors, however, enter through a different door.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 1 P a g e | 3
Q3: If we need to put solar in the parking lot, does it need to be 15 feet high? (SW) A3: In order to accommodate the future addition of double decker buses to their Fleet, GTrans requires the minimum height of any carport structures in the yard or exit through the eastern parking lot to be 14’6”. See attached photo for more specifics of areas where minimum carport clearance is required.
Q4: We heard that the city is transitioning from ChargePoint to another EV charging provider. Have you selected a new hardware provider and/or software provider, or are you open to proposals including any provider(s)? Would your vendor selection impose any restrictions on the charging hardware and software solutions that we may specify in our proposal?
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 1 P a g e | 4
A4: At this time, no hardware provider and/or software provider has been selected. GTrans is open to proposals including any provider which follows the requirements set forth in Addendum #1 and which will ensure high levels of system reliability and user experience.
Q5: The RFP indicates that Employee/Visitor EV Charging is to be 40A, but the Site Overview conceptual layout shows these as 32A - can you confirm which of these is the preferred amperage?
A5: Employee/Visitor EV chargers can deliver 32A to the vehicles as a minimum amperage (32A @ 208V = 6.6kW).
Q6: Do you plan to require payment from employees and/or visitors to charge their vehicles?
A6: While GTrans does want our staff lot chargers to have the ability to charge staff and visitors for charging, there is no definite plan at this time. Chargers, however, will not be open to the general public.
Q7: There is an existing EVSE on the north end of the CMU wall between the transit yard and the employee/visitor parking, inside the transit yard. Will this remain in place, be removed, or be relocated? Is modification to this EVSE to be included in or excluded from our bid?
A7: The existing EV charger on the north end of the CMU wall between the transit yard and employee/visitor parking can be removed and/or abandoned in place. This parking stall can then be included in the spaces which receive new chargers, which is to be included in your bid.
Q8: What is the height of existing/future buses?
A8: See Question #3.
Q9: The existing PV canopy structure is painted to match surrounding buildings. Should it be assumed that canopy structures and/or conduit are to be painted to match? A9: Yes. Please include budget to paint any PV canopy structures to match the surrounding buildings and existing PV canopy structure.

CLARIFICATIONS TO RFP 2024-07 DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND
STORAGE SYSTEM
Q1: The single line diagram for the newer CNG service shows a kirk-key interlock system being installed in MS-CNG. Was this done so that the backup generator would be capable of backing up the other two feeders in MS-CNG (the motor start panels)? Or is Building A the primary focus of the generator backup?)
A1: The Generator is meant to back up two compressors through a motor controller MCC and Building A.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 2
Q2: Which circuit/feeder was metered to derive the Building A modeling data in the "Existing and CNG Load Simulations" spreadsheet (i.e. feeder 101 for distribution board "ADH")? Does that cover all loads from the older MSA service that the city would want to have backed up during an outage?
A2: While the actual feeder number metered is unknown, please assume it was Feeder 101 for distribution board ADH for the purposes of this bid, and that it does cover all Building A loads which the City would want to have backed up during an outage. Distribution Board ADH powers all of Building A. The 800A spare breaker in the CNG switch gear is specifically for Building A.
Q3: According to section 4.4.1(I) of “Attachment 2 - General Design Requirements,” a fire suppression system is required for the energy storage system. The CA Fire Code only requires fire suppression systems for energy storage under certain conditions (such as indoor ESS installations or installations of walk-in ESS units), and some energy storage system models do not allow for a manufacturer-approved fire suppression system installation. Can you confirm that this requirement for fire suppression systems will still apply regardless of the ESS model and siting in the proposed design? A3: GTrans and the City of Gardena defer to LA County’s fire codes and regulations, as seen in Section 1206. Bidding contractors shall propose BESS systems which comply with all applicable codes and standards, including those which govern the use of fire suppression systems so that the installation of these systems can be permitted by relevant AHJs.
Q4: Is the City a member of a Community Choice Aggregation? If yes, what generation type are the GTrans meters on?
A4: No, the City of Gardena is not on Community Choice Aggregation.
Q5: Has the City submitted an SGIP application yet?
A5: No, the City has not yet submitted a SGIP application yet. Respondents are encouraged to check out both SCE's and SCG's SGIP programs, rebates and eligibility Q6: Is the Depot serviced by SoCalGas?
A6: Yes, GTrans is served by SoCal Gas.
Q7: Will the islanding mode of the microgrid project need to automatically switch to and from islanded mode?
A7: Yes, if considering the added value option listed in Section 4.8, islanding microgrid functionality, the microgrid should be able to switch automatically over to backup power in the R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 3
event of a grid outage.
Q8: Can GTrans confirm if a dollar savings performance guarantee is acceptable for the BESS, or is GTrans only looking for an uptime guarantee? A8: In addition to submitting an uptime guarantee as requested, GTrans encourages bidders to submit alternative performance guarantee terms if deemed beneficial.
Q9: Can GTrans confirm if it is acceptable not to install a fire suppression system if the BESS has safety certifications that address fire concerns, such as UL1973 and UL9540A? A9: GTrans defers to LA County Fire’s codes and regulations for BESS (Section 1206) which govern the use of fire suppression systems for BESS systems. Any system proposed should be compliant with all applicable codes and standards so that it can be permitted by the relevant AHJs.
Q10: Can the City share a PDF bill for each meter within the last 3 months? Or provide the estimated tariff for each meter?
A10: The main meter uses SCE's TOU-GS-3-CPP rate tariff and the CNG meter uses SCE's TOU-8-D rate tariff.
Q11: When was the existing solar system installed?
A11: The solar system was installed in 2009.
Q12: The RFP states in several locations that “the Contractor will need to follow all the requirements of the State and Local Public Grant dollars being used for this project” and “This project will be funded with various sources of grant funding, and the selected contractor should demonstrate their ability to comply with all project funding stipulations”, however those requirements and stipulations are not included in the RFP. Please provide these requirements and stipulations.
A12: Grants requirements fall mostly on GTrans and does not list any specific tasks or compliance for the contractor, other than standard requirements, such as prevailing wage, certified payroll, etc. GTrans can share the grant information with the awarded Proposer afterwards.
Q13: Section 6.3 of the RFP indicates that proposers should account for missing conduits from the main CNG switchgear to the generator location for the block heater and battery tender. Please provide clarification on what those conduit size requirements are for both the block heater and the battery tender.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 4
A13: The conduit sizing for the block heater and battery tender will depend upon the generator selected as part of the initial design work. Please make assumptions based on the installation of a 1000kW Generator and true up can be addressed via change order once design is complete.
Q14: The Attachment 2 - General Design Requirements document in the Warranty section, under Equipment warranty requirements it states, “Contractor shall provide a comprehensive ten (10) year warranty on all system components against defects in materials and workmanship under normal application, installation, and use and service conditions.” However, in the following Workmanship section it states that “Contractor shall have a minimum workmanship warranty of 1 year. Warranty shall ensure that: A. The design, assembly, and installation are all done correctly, B. The system will perform as expected—without malfunction, C. Any defects that may arise will be fixed free of charge.” Please confirm that the workmanship warranty for all equipment, system components, and installation is one year and not 10-years.
A14: Workmanship warranty is, indeed, requested at 1 year. The 10-year warranty shall be the minimum warranty on system components.
Q15: Would the City of Gardena like us to include Domestic Content solar modules in our proposal or would they prioritize a proposal based on an imported solar module with a lower price?
A15: GTrans would like to see best value pricing whether it is Domestic Content solar modules or imported solar modules.
Q16: Please provide Title Report and the Gear Submittals.
A16: These documents can be provided upon request to the awarded Contractor.
Q17: Can you confirm the concrete thickness is 10”?
A17: It is 10" in the yard and 4' in the CNG compound.
Q18: Is it okay to place the columns near the wall on the staff parking lot side, and are there any safety/security concerns with this?
A18: At this time, GTrans does not have any safety or security concerns with placing columns near the wall on the staff parking lot side, however, GTrans reserves the right to change this response upon further review of the Proposer's plans.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 5
Q19: Is any phasing required for this project?
A19: Please follow phases indicated in Section 4.6.1 in the RFP, unless normal daily bus operation will be affected. Additionally, as per Section 6.3, GTrans requests the generator specs within 90 days of project kickoff.
Q20: Should the Staff/Visitor EV Chargers be removed from the system during an outage/Island Mode activation?
A20: Yes, islanded operation should prioritize bus and bus operations above staff and visitor EV charging.
Q21: Are wall-mounted EV Chargers and conduit acceptable for the Fleet chargers? A21: Yes, wall-mounted is the preferred method.
Q22: Will the Clean Energy Xendee model be provided/shared to validate system specifications?
A22: To the best of our knowledge Clean Energy did not create a Xendee model that could be shared.
Q23: Can you provide the agreement between GTrans and SCE for the Charge Ready service/program?
A23: GTrans will discuss this further with the awarded vendor.
Q24: Would GTrans like to be responsible for managing communications with the battery software provider to ensure that the battery is meeting the performance guarantee requirements, or would they like the Developer to be responsible for this under the Professional Services Agreement?
A24: GTrans would like the developer to be responsible for maintaining battery performance throughout the ongoing professional services O&M agreement. Please see Question #2 in Addendum #1.
Q25: Can GTrans confirm if a battery cycling or battery degradation performance guarantee is acceptable in lieu of an uptime guarantee? R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 6
A25: See Question #8.
Q26: If a 20-year BESS warranty is not available, is a 15-year warranty acceptable? What is the primary objective behind requesting a 20-year battery warranty? A26: The intent of requesting a longer battery warranty as an add-alternate was to more closely align the warranties of the BESS and solar PV system. If the Bidding Contractor chooses to submit an add alternate and a 20-year warranty is unavailable, please provide the longest possible warranty. If the Contractor is unable to provide a 20-year warranty they will NOT be deemed unresponsive but will be scored accordingly.
Q27: The selection criteria scoring sheet has a higher evaluation weight for pricing at 35% vs value-add option at 5%. Can GTrans please confirm that low pricing should be prioritized over resiliency?
A27: GTrans gives more weight to demonstrated system long term value than the ability to island during an outage, but ideally would like the ability to island, as well.
Q28: The Form K Bid Bond only states that we would have to enter into a Contract with the City, in the manner and time specified, but doesn't specific a time. Could you please clarity?
A28: Potential Contractor’s bid bonds (Form K) will be null and void if: 1) the proposal is rejected, or 2) the proposal is accepted and awarded at the time specified by the City of Gardena.
Contractors whose proposals will be rejected will be notified by written notice. The awarding Contractor will be notified of the specific date when their contract will be presented to the City Council for final approval.
Q29: Please provide the specific grant language that the contractor will be required to adhere to during construction. Because of the bid bond and design build nature of project, the contractor will need to understand any and all requirements for the contractor prior A29: See question #12.
Q30: How often is the manual CNG defueling assembly used? A30: The CNG defueling assembly is only used occasionally.
Q31: Would the city be interested in seeing an adder for incorporating DBE/SBE suppliers into our pricing?
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 3 P a g e | 7
A31: While GTrans is not requiring a DBE/SBE, it is encouraged for Contractor Bidders to incorporate DBE/SBEs into their project team to meet GTrans' internal commitment of 3% DBE.
Q32: Which EV charger OEM is City working with for EV charging currently and what City’s preferences going forward?
A32: At this time, no hardware provider and/or software provider has been selected. GTrans is open to proposals including any provider which follows the requirements set forth in Addendum #1 and which will ensure high levels of system reliability and user experience.
Q33: We reviewed the RFP materials and found a discrepancy between the RFP doc and the Layout materials: one design calls for 32A employee parking, while the other mentions 40A employee parking ports. Could the City please clarify which power level they would prefer for the employee ports and employee make-ready? It’s a small difference but adds up over 24 ports!
A33: GTrans is looking for 32A (6.6kW) charging for employee parking. This equates to 40A breakers at the panels.
Q34: Is the area indicated in Attachment 1, page 2 the proposed installation area for both BESS systems described under Base Project #1? Or is the location of the BESS for the Existing Meter up to the proposing Contractor?
A34: The area indicated in Attachment 1, page 2 for BESS systems can be for both (existing meter & CNG meter) BESS systems. If bidders see a different/better area for the BESS system for the existing meter, please note this in your bid. We appreciate any efficiencies you may find from your experience.
Q35: Should the Fleet EV Chargers (non-GTrans Busses) be removed or curtailed from the system during an outage/Island Mode activation?
A35: GTrans would like the ability to curtail but not eliminate microtransit fleet EV charging during an outage/Island Mode activation on the original meter with the existing generator, new BESS, and new solar PV.

CLARIFICATIONS TO REVISED PROPOSAL REQUEST FOR - RFP 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENEGRY AND STORAGE SYSTEM
Q1: Is the new under-solar-canopy LED lighting acceptable for security lighting for the EV Charging areas?
A1: Yes. Under canopy lighting is an acceptable solution for providing security for both fleet and staff/visitor EV charging.
R F P 2 0 2 4 - 0 7 A d d e n d u m # 4 P a g e | 2
Q2: Is the new under-solar-canopy LED lighting acceptable for security lighting for the EV Charging areas?
A2: See question #1.
Q3: The previous version of the RFP included a resiliency component as an integral part of the proposed scope of work. Please confirm whether resiliency, either as an immediate objective or provisions for future implementation is included in the new “requested” scope of work.
A3: Yes. Increased resiliency for CNG fueling and fleet EV charging is a desired outcome of this project.

GTrans RFP 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENERGY AND STORAGE SYSTEM Page | 2 SECTION 2 – PROJECT INFORMATION
2.1 Background and Summary of Key Information
GTrans is committed to emissions reductions and clean transportation services for the community and is interested in generating renewable energy via a solar PV system at the central location of 13999 Western Avenue, Gardena, CA 90249 (“Site”).
GTrans, a forward-thinking and environmentally conscious transportation agency, is embarking on a transformative initiative to integrate solar and battery storage solutions into its operations. They currently operate a fleet of 52 buses, 39 of which are CNG and 13 of which are battery-electric buses.
This initiative aligns with GTrans' commitment to sustainability, reducing carbon footprint, and enhancing energy resilience. As part of this visionary project, GTrans invites qualified and experienced vendors to submit proposals for the design and construction of solar, generator, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and battery storage systems. Specific details on the project scope are described below with further backup information found in Section 6, Scope of Work.
2.2 Project Objectives
The primary objectives of this project are to harness clean, renewable energy through solar power and enhance energy storage capabilities with cutting-edge battery storage solutions. GTrans aims to achieve the following key goals:
• Sustainability: Minimize environmental impact by transitioning to renewable energy sources and reducing dependence on traditional power grids. • Energy Resilience: Improve operational resilience by implementing state-of-the-art battery storage systems, ensuring uninterrupted power supply despite grid disruptions. • Cost Efficiency: Optimize operational costs by harnessing solar power and leveraging battery storage to reduce reliance on conventional energy sources.
The following provides a synopsis of the scope of work. For a detailed breakdown, reference Section 6.
This project is truly an integration of different electrical disciplines. In the short term, GTrans has converted their fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, with a long-term goal of full electrification of the fleet once the CNG buses are in need of replacement (roughly 12+ years from now). In the installation of the new CNG fueling infrastructure, GTrans had installed a new utility meter and supporting electrical infrastructure as shown in Attachment 1. This project is complete as of June 2024. This new CNG electrical infrastructure envisions a backup generator for the CNG fueling station and the cutover of the Building A service to the new CNG meter for resiliency purposes. These tasks have not yet been completed as part of the CNG project and will be incorporated into this project. The CNG fueling infrastructure is expected to add significant utility expense for GTrans with compressors running at peak times to handle the fueling of buses as they return from their routes.

Existing: CNG Compressors & Station
New: EV Charging for Paratrans and Staff Vehicles New: Emergency Generator, Admin Building (A) (New Cutover)
Table 1: GTrans Meter Information
In order to alleviate much of these costs, GTrans has secured (non-federal, State & Local Public Dollars) grants to install a solar PV and a battery energy storage system (BESS) on their site, tied into both the new CNG meter and the existing site meter.
A year of existing meter interval data from Sept 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024, CNG interval data from March 25, 2024- December 12, 2024, on-site solar production data and a load study conducted on Building A’s feeders is provided in Attachment 6, Supporting Documentation.
However, these loads are for reference only, as they will be changing. This project’s scope of work envisions the selected Contractor completing the integration of a backup generator and cutover of Building A into the new CNG meter. The Contractor should first verify the intended sizing of the generator and provide that information and a specification to GTrans so they may bid out the generator following federal procurement guidelines due to the funding sources tied to that project. The Contractor then will design, provision, integrate, install, and commission the backup generator, associated automatic transfer switch (ATS) and cutover Building A loads to the new CNG service meter. After award, the Contractor should verify Building A loads through independent monitoring before ultimately specifying the generator size and integration strategy.
While cutting over Building A loads to the new CNG service, GTrans requests that the Contractor also install a total of 13 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE): eight (8) Level 2 EVSE for the Microtransit fleet, and five (5) Level 2 EVSE for employee vehicles. Provisioning should also be included for eleven (11) additional Microtransit Level 2 EVSE and conduit for another nineteen (19) chargers for employee parking.
See Attachment 1 – Site Overview for current thinking on Microtransit and employee EV charging. As these growing EV charging loads are envisioned to be served by GTrans’ main existing meter via an 480/277V 800A feed, a charge management system should be proposed to ensure charging demand Location Current L2 EV Charger Installation L2 EV Charger Future Provisions Microtransit Parking 8 11

Note: the aforementioned EV Charging will serve the paratransit and staff/visitor parking only. GTrans battery electric buses will be charged via a separate meter installed through SCE’s Charge Ready Transport (CRT) Program. This CRT project is slated to start in June 2025 (baring unforeseen delays in switchgear availability) and it will install seven (7) 150kW DCFCs serving 14 charge ports. Bus charging stalls will be located in the south west corner of GTrans’ lot, mostly remaining out of the way of this project. See 90% CD included with the documents in Attachment 6 for more information.
In order to make sense of the available meter data, as it will be changing as part of this project, new, simulated load profiles have been created for the purposes of Contractors submitting bids which can be compared. For the existing meter interval data:
A. Existing 129.6kW solar generation has been simulated in Helioscope and added to the SCE load profile to simulate the full load behind the existing meter. Solar production has been scaled to 90% to correlate with values seen by actual solar metering data recorded.
B. Building A loads have been simulated from submetering data and further subtracted from SCE load data.
C. Simulated solar production from (A) was then subtracted from the existing meter data once Building A was removed (B).
D. A simulated EV charging load was then added to (C) to estimate what the future load will look like on the existing building meter once Building A was removed, and paratransit vehicle and staff/visitor vehicle charging has been implemented.
E. Load in (D) was then modeled in Xendee to determine a Net Zero system size for solar and BESS on the existing meter. This system size is 550kW PV and 700kW/1400kWh BESS.
F. This load profile creation can be found in Attachment 6.
For simulating load on the new CNG meter, the following modifications were made from the SCE data:
G. Looking at SCE meter data, the information is sporadic but demonstrates clear patterns of compressor use. Because of this, an average hourly kWh profile was created for every day of the week.
H. To simulate additional CNG charging in the future, the simulated hourly charging profile was multiplied by 125%.
I. Building A load from (B) above was added to the hourly CNG usage profile to simulate the total future load on the CNG meter.
J. The load in (I) was then modeled in Xendee to determine a Net Zero system size for solar and BESS on the future CNG meter. This system size is 440kW PV and 450kW/900kWh BESS.
K. This load profile can also be found in Attachment 6.
Acknowledging that the above loads are estimated, the winning vendor will have a chance to fine tune the system size as more interval data becomes available.
GTrans RFP 2024-07
DESIGN AND BUILD A RENEWABLE ENERGY AND STORAGE SYSTEM Page | 5 GTrans requests an initial Performance Guarantee (PeGu) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract for 5 years, with options to extend for years 6-10. They are also requesting pricing on the extension of inverter and BESS warranties to 20 years.
Contractors are expected to specify equipment control systems (Solar Data Acquisition Systems, Battery Storage Control, EV Charger Control) which are able to provide real time operational data and accept control signals via commonly accepted open protocols standards. As part of this work, Contractors will be expected to coordinate with GTrans and their existing site control vendors to figure out the best way for all systems to communicate together and operate in a way which maximizes the benefit to GTrans.
The Contractor is expected to be a key partner in the GTrans team helping them to complete their short term CNG project and Distributed Energy Resource (DER) integration and setting them up for success as the agency transitions from CNG to EV charging. It is envisioned that much of the additional charging load for post-CNG buses will also be served by that meter, as CNG demand ramps down.
Additionally, the Contractor will need to follow all the requirements of the State and Local Public Grant dollars being used on this project, including prevailing wage, and more information shall be shared with the awarded Contractor. The Contractor will be expected to work with GTrans to maximize the amount grant, incentive or tax credit (such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)) eligibility and either take the funding themselves for an equivalent reduction in project cost OR assist GTrans in filing for the funding sources through appropriate channels.
