Energy and Microgrid Feasibility Analysis

The Napa Valley Transportation Authority is seeking a subcontractor to conduct a comprehensive technical and economic feasibility analysis for the implementation of solar energy systems, battery storage solutions, and microgrid infrastructure across its property holdings. The study must evaluate potential system designs, energy generation capacity, storage efficiency, grid independence, cost-benefit projections, maintenance requirements, and long-term operational sustainability. The analysis should consider site-specific conditions including land availability, sunlight exposure, existing energy loads, and regulatory frameworks to determine optimal configurations that maximize energy resilience and financial return. The contract is open for responses until July 24, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541690 for other scientific and technical consulting services. The work is to be performed on NVTA-owned sites within California, though specific locations are not detailed in the posting. The solicitation does not designate a set-aside category, and while no point of contact is listed, proposals must be submitted through the provided public procurement portal. The contractor is expected to deliver a detailed, data-driven report that informs future capital investment decisions regarding renewable energy deployment and energy security for transit operations.
