Solar and Battery Storage Installation at City Facilities

The City of Ann Arbor is procuring design‑build installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, battery‑energy‑storage systems (BESS), and associated EV‑charging infrastructure at four municipal sites: City Hall/Justice Center, Fire Station 1, Fire Station 6, and Bicentennial Park. Each site requires roof‑mount or canopy‑mount PV modules (approximately 135 kW DC at City Hall, 96.8 kW DC at Fire 1, 84.6 kW DC plus a 360 kWh BESS at Fire 6, and a 49 kW DC canopy with EV chargers at the park). The contract calls for UL‑listed equipment, full permitting, compliance with NEC 2023, local living‑wage and prevailing‑wage ordinances, and a 448‑day performance period. The award is tentatively set for Ferndale Electric and Homeland Solar pending council approval. Key points: • Scope covers complete design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, warranties, and O&M manuals for solar PV, battery storage, and EV chargers. • Mandatory compliance with HUD funding (SAM registration/UEI) and city‑specific wage rules. • Fixed‑price bids submitted by April 4 2025; performance period of 448 calendar days. • Multiple‑vendor award (two firms) with no disclosed contract value in the documents.
