Project Overview
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (“UCCS” or the “University”) is seeking to install one
or more rooftop solar photovoltaic systems sized from approximately 30 kW to 200 kW on one or
several campus buildings, with the intent of increasing onsite production of renewable energy in
support of our campus’ long term goals of carbon neutrality and ongoing focus of reducing our
energy costs and environmental footprint. The University is interested in a financial model that
provides for ownership of the facility at the end of 20 years at no cost to the University with a
buyout clause allowing the University to purchase the system after seven years of production.
GOALS
The goals of the project are as follows:








Reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.
Reduce electricity costs, including an analysis of on-peak rate periods.
No campus investment is required.
University receives certified environmental credits (Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)); or
equivalent if direct RECs are part of a power purchase agreement with Colorado Springs
Utilities (“CSU”).
Entering into a contract that allows the University to purchase the system(s) after the
seventh (7th) Commercial Operation Year or at any time thereafter.
To know the purchase price at the end of the seventh (7th) Commercial Operation Year.
To know the purchase cost of the delivered power during the first seven Commercial
Operation Years, and then, if the University does not purchase the system after the seventh
(7th) Commercial Operation Year, the purchase cost of delivered power for the following 13
Commercial Operation Years, for a total of 20 years.
To know which facilities are feasible for the installation of a rooftop solar system and the
size of those systems. The university is proposing the following buildings:
o
o
o
o
o
Academic Office Building
Centennial Hall
Lane Center
Osborne Science and Engineering
University Center
Scope of Services
Selected firm will sign the Design/Build Lump Sum (LS) contract, agree to Attachment A conditions
and sign the license contained in Attachment A.
Collaborate with the University to identify the best buildings, of those listed, and roofs for solar
photovoltaic installations.
Design and install: self-ballasted, rooftop solar array(s) with the following specifications:

System size: 30-200 kW depending upon location

Panel efficiency: Use minimum module (panel) efficiency of 18%.

Racking system: Self ballasted, no roof penetrations, engineered for 110 mph wind zone
(Exposure C). Must secure ballast to racking system to prevent removal of PV system
component. Any roof penetrations must be pre-approved by UCCS and must not void any
existing warranties.
System orientation: Provide system production kWh and cost avoidance analysis, based on CSU
electric rates for the specific building, with two orientations; 1) maximum energy production and 2)
maximum energy production during on-peak utility rate periods.
State your design DC to AC de-rate factor as well as panel tilt angle (very important in our snowy
climate) and azimuths for the two system orientations noted above.
The successful bidder is responsible for hiring licensed professional structural and electrical
engineers to analyze the proposed solar PV system with regard to existing roof structure to support
the additional load and the electrical systems. The engineers are responsible for wet stamping the
construction drawings and stating all design loading conditions. In addition the selected firm will
meet all requirements as specified by the State’s code consultant (selected by the university) and
Colorado Springs Utilities requirements.
Attend a mandatory pre-submittal meeting.
Operation and Maintenance: must operate and provide system maintenance. Successful bidder
must respond to an outage within twenty-four hours and complete repairs, or provide a mutually
agreed upon action plan with the university to resolve the issue, within seventy-two hours. The
selected firm will meet all requirements as set out in Attachment A.
Monitoring: must provide independent third-party, revenue-grade web-based data monitoring of
system to include status, uptime, and power generation as set out in Attachment A.
Financing:

Project will require a power purchase agreement with Colorado Springs Utilities that
includes all of the renewable energy credits (RECs) for the electricity generated by the
solar panels.

Finance offering must account for the following costs that shall be paid by the successful
bidder:

All costs associated with the design, construction and placing in operation of the
system.


Structural engineering design / review of roof structure.


Design reviews and construction inspections by the State’s Code consultant,
required State inspections and CSU inspections.

Maintenance and operations during the period of ownership by the successful bidder.

All taxes.

All costs associated with data monitoring and providing access to the data monitoring to the
University.

Provide system purchase cost to UCCS after the seventh (7th) Commercial Operation Year.

Indicate price of energy from the solar system to UCCS during your ownership of this system
(prior to purchase of system by UCCS).

Provide an estimate of annual operation and maintenance costs for years 8 through 20.

I.
The vendor will be the one point of contact for the purchase, installation, maintenance
and financing of the project. The vendor will be responsible to the University for the
vendor’s acts/omissions and those of its subcontractors even after assignment of the
contract to a financing entity, if an assignment occurs.
The university will not indemnify, hold harmless, or make whole any party for any
reason. In particular, if the characterization of the business arrangement changes for
some reason, and that change affects tax-exempt status as may be claimed for income
tax purposes, the vendor will absorb the loss.
Colorado law governs the contract.
There will be no arbitration, mediation or any other alternative dispute resolution
mechanism.
There will be no provision for the winning party in a court action or any other action to
obtain attorney fees or court costs.
The University will pay no taxes of any kind, except for the possible solar energy use
tax as explained below in item #G. In particular, the Colorado personal property tax
due on the solar panels --- which the vendor will own until and unless the University
buys out the vendor --- is the sole responsibility of the vendor to pay and absorb as a
cost of doing business.
The vendor must pay any taxes due on the production and delivery of solar energy to a
particular point and the University will pay any tax levied on the taking or use of solar
energy from a particular point.
The vendor will maintain general liability insurance, auto insurance and workers
compensation insurance and list the University as “additional insured” and “loss payee”,
this later designation pertaining to damage to University property. The University is
self-insured and will not list any party as “additional insured.” See the Design/Build
Lump Sum (LS) Agreement for additional information on insurance requirements.
The University will not lease any space to the vendor for the solar panels nor grant any
easement, whether traditional or solar. The University will sign a document with the

vendor that describes access issues regarding the real property and the building on
which the solar panels will be placed.
The vendor must provide a cost of ownership after the seventh (7th) Commercial
Operation Year to be included in its bid response --- no “then-current value” language
shall be used.
The vendor will sign the contract before the University signs.
