OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF WORK Phase One Commerce will provide a dataset of approximately 1,000 MFAH properties that includes property name and address, physical profile and other details. A sample of this information is available in Exhibit D: Sample Data from Multifamily Affordable Housing Dataset. Phase One objectives include: 1. Develop and apply high-level solar suitability criteria to refine the sample properties to be assessed. High-level assessment criteria should include a property’s physical profile and the availability of complete data, as well as other factors proposed by the proposer. 2. Remotely assess onsite solar potential of remaining MFAH properties. These solar assessments can include rooftop, ground-mounted and carport-mounted systems and must include at a minimum: o Preliminary physical layout diagram o Estimated system size (kW) and production (kWh) on a monthly basis o Solar generation to dwelling unit ratio o Advantages, challenges or other considerations o To the extent possible: Estimated bill savings per unit Onsite metering infrastructure 3. Produce a report with summaries for each assessed property and provide recommendations of MFAH properties best suited for onsite solar installation that achieves 20% electric bill savings. Onsite assessments, site visits and outreach to property owners or tenants are out of scope for Phase One. Phase Two Following phase one, Commerce or WSHFC will engage with MFAH property owners and operators to gauge their interest in solar and energy storage. At the start of phase two, Commerce will provide the Phase Two contractor(s) the summaries of selected MFAH properties to assess from Phase One. Phase Two objectives include: Produce grid-tied solar system proposals and design documents for all proposed design scenarios including: o Executive summary describing key findings o Financial summary and cost estimates for achieving 20% electric bill savings including any estimated tax credits, grants and any other financial assistance available o Analysis of customer’s electricity consumption and utility tariff rate o Identify required permitting, zoning, and interconnection considerations that may affect the potential system design, project timeline or installation cost o Representative equipment and costs, compliant with Build America Buy America (BABA) and Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) as applicable o Operations and maintenance recommendations o To the extent possible: Identify any required enabling upgrades (main panel upgrades, roof upgrades, etc.) to facilitate the solar installation Identify any onsite fossil fuel use information o Electrical schematic diagram o Physical layout diagram o Solar resource assessment
