Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is estimated to be between $1 million and $5 million, based on the scope of work and the duration of the contract. The city is seeking a firm fixed-price plus an annual escalation rate PPA contract, which suggests that the budget will be tied to the amount of energy generated by the solar and battery energy storage systems. The minimum guaranteed annual energy production requirement and the 20-year term of the contract also suggest that the budget will be substantial. However, the exact budget amount will depend on the specifics of the contract and the performance of the systems.
