Beacon Highway Garage Rooftop Solar Array

The project involves the comprehensive design, engineering, permitting, installation, interconnection, monitoring, maintenance, commissioning, and operation of a rooftop solar array on the City of Beacon's highway garage located in Dutchess County, New York. The solar system is intended to generate enough energy to meet 100% of the building's annual electricity consumption, with any excess energy to be allocated through a remote crediting system established as part of the project. The contractor must be an approved participant in the NYSERDA NY-Sun program, ensuring compliance with state standards and eligibility requirements. Bids for the project are to be submitted in sealed form to the City of Beacon at City Hall by September 16, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with the opening of bids occurring publicly at that time. The contract's duration is to be determined, and the project size is estimated to range between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The solicitation is managed by the City of Beacon, with John Russo serving as the primary contact. Notably, no business entities have been awarded a similar contract within the past five years. The project aims to promote renewable energy use within the city, contributing to sustainability goals and energy independence.
