on existing city facilities as well as future buildings. The process typically includes identifying suitable sites, defining the scope by a concept design, developing technical specifications for an RFP, evaluating contractor proposals, advising on contract awards, monitoring construction, and verifying system performance during commissioning. In other words, the program staff must provide project management expertise. SEI can assist in developing and executing these efforts in future phases. Inte2ration of PV and Ener2V Efficiencv: A key to the improving the cost effectiveness of PV installations is the incorporation of energy efficiency and energy management strategies. By reducing electrical loads, the positive impact of the PV system is increased and the overall effort becomes more cost effective. Therefore, the consideration of program strategies that incorporate energy efficiency measures (including solar hot water and other renewable load side approaches) in the program that will result in a whole building, comprehensive reduction in energy demand through an integrated energy efficiency and photovoltaic system offering is also proposed. SEI Team (the "contractor") Tasks: To conduct the Solar Cities Program (SCP) planning process, SEI will work with City staff to: Data Gathering Phase: 1. The Contractor shall conduct information gathering meetings with community stakeholders to determine local resources, interests, needs, challenges, and opportunities. Stakeholders include; community residents, City staff and officials, commercial property owners and other business leaders, new home developers, local architects, engineers, design professionals, and the solar industry community. The Contractor shall help guide the process, provide initial concepts and approaches as a starting point for consideration, and flesh out program approaches as they develop in collaboration with the participants to create a custom-designed, community-wide solar buying program. P Conduct a community solar readiness assessment survey, identify key stakeholders, and survey the needs and to identified favorable program approaches and incentives, P Develop draft SCP goals, targets, and objectives and evaluation measures, P Develop draft SCP strawman along with costs and benefits for both the user and community, P Incorporate sustained, orderly development and commercialization principles to the SCP process and program, P Identify incentive programs, funding mechanism, and financial/environmental incentives supportive of the program 2. There shall be at least one data gathering stakeholder group meeting, to review strawman proposal and obtain input. The meeting invitees would include: i. City staff ii. Business leaders and professionals iii. Solar industry representatives iv.
