Communitywide Electrification Cost and Capacity Feasibility Studies Service

The City of Pinole, California, requires a vendor to provide communitywide electrification cost and capacity feasibility studies services. The elected contractor must gather research to inform model utility rate designs, utilizing resources from Marin Clean Energy and PG&E. The vendor must compare current and projected cost drivers for gas and electricity rates, strategize methods to lower electric utility rates, and perform a cost analysis of those strategies. The buyer requires all work to occur offsite, and vendors must be located onshore within the USA. The buyer sets a contract period of one year. Interested vendors must submit all questions by September 9, 2026. The buyer seeks proposals to determine the budget and provides no specific evaluation criteria in the source text.
