2. THE PROJECT A. Scope. The Project, which will be based on conceptual design and performance requirements being developed by the City (the “Bridging Documents”), involves the design and installation of photovoltaic systems at up to five City facilities • Cupertino Library: 10800 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014 • Community Hall: 10350 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014 • Cupertino Sports Center: 21111 Stevens Creek Blvd, Cupertino, CA 95014 • Blackberry Farm Recreation and Pool: 21979 San Fernando Ave, Cupertino, CA 95014 • Quinlan Community Center: 10185 N Stelling Rd, Cupertino, CA 95014 A partial drawing set is attached hereto as Appendix B. B. Additional Considerations. The Project presents many challenges for the selected DBE to address, including, but not limited to, the following: • Constrained sites, impacted parking, and limited staging areas. • Congested parking lot adjacent to a number of the sites. • Continued operation of the facilities during construction, as feasible. • Protection of all existing bioretention measures and provisions to retain significant and/or historic existing trees. • Seasonal restrictions at various sites regarding Habitat and Stormwater protections. • Structural reinforcement of existing structures after demolition and during construction as required. • Provisions for future expansion of photovoltaic systems to incorporate battery back-up systems. • Provisions to address accessibility improvements that may be required by the California Building Code (CBC) and Cupertino Municipal Code (CMC). • Provisions to meet recently expanded CBCs and CMCs regarding electrical vehicle (EV) charging requirements and infrastructure; and • Electrical [PG&E] interconnection permit and other utility coordination.
