2021 Request for Proposals for North Sea Landfill - Community Solar Development

The Town of Southampton awarded a contract to Kearsarge Energy Limited Partnership for the full design, permitting, construction, commissioning, ownership, and operation of a community solar installation on the North Sea Landfill site. The vendor assumes all development costs and will operate the facility for the contract term, with no direct fiscal outlay from the town. The solicitation was issued via RFP BP2021‑0034, a public walk‑through was held on July 9, 2021, and proposals were received by July 22, 2021. The award was formalized in Resolution 2021‑959 on October 12, 2021 and is pending execution of a fully signed contract. • Scope includes end‑to‑end solar project delivery (design, permitting, construction, O&M) and ownership. • Prevailing‑wage requirements apply; a PRC number will be supplied in the RFP packet. • The town expects no direct payment; the vendor funds the project and sells the generated electricity (or receives other revenue) under a separate arrangement.
