Princeton Arena Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE WORK
The Town of Princeton is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a qualified solar vendor (the “Proponent”) to design, supply, install and commission a rooftop solar photovoltaic system on the roof of the Princeton arena.
 
The Town of Princeton is looking to install a solar PV system to the roof of the Princeton Arena to offset electric consumption costs and reduce our carbon footprint.
 
The Princeton Arena was built in 1974 and is a typical Butler style steel building. The arena dimensions are 243’ long, 110’ wide and 20’ tall with a metal roof with a 1/12 pitch. The metal roof was recently replaced with a standing seam system in 2023.
 
The scope of work includes but is not limited to:

• The objective of the project is to maximize the solar potential of the Princeton arena within the Town’s available budget. The maximum PV system size shall be 50 KWAC, interconnected into FortisBC’s electrical network.
• The system must be designed and installed by a qualified and certified installer.
• Construction must be approved and coordinated with FortisBC.
• The work site is to be kept clean, neat, and tidy. Proper precautions are to be taken to always keep workers and public safe.

 
The contractor shall furnish, deliver, supply and install complete with all materials, equipment and labor, including all found items, taxes, duties and fees required to provide a complete and operational product.
 
The contractor will be responsible for coordinating this work along with other works required to complete the project. The successful contractor will be responsible for all permits, schedules, and documentation to construct and commission the system. A Development Permit is not required for this project.
