HomeMy WebLinkAboutSLO Proposal Letter Final_Attachment (1)1625 Flatbush Avenue, Box #222 Brooklyn, NY 11210 10.26.21 Mr. Chris Read Sustainability Manager City of San Luis Obispo 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Mr. Read, Thank you for your continued partnership and support in the development of BlocMaps and BP Target for the City of San Luis Obispo. Bloc Power proposed an optional text in our response to the Better Buildings SLO RFP to include direct implementation efforts. This scope letter defines that optional task in detail and would be appropriate as an attachment to an amendment of our current contract. BlocPower proposes to support the City’s building decarbonization efforts by leading the initial decarbonization pilot program. The target timeframe for this pilot is 16 months. BlocPower proposes to complete the pilot program and roll the lessons into scale-able progress through two subtasks: 1) Implementation of a pilot project from lead generation to completed electrification projects, and 2) pilot project findings report and program development recommendations. These additions would include a number of actions to be performed by BlocPower, shown in the attached Gantt Chart and defined below: 1)Project Development ($24,000) a)BlocPower will work with the City to identify target pilot project sectors, building, and customer profiles, as well as technologies and included measures. b)BlocPower will develop and execute, with support from City staff, a pilot project intake process including collaborative development of evaluative criteria, and if necessary, a pilot project lottery. c)BlocPower will develop program collateral, in partnership with City staff, to clearly communicate and ensure acknowledgement of known risks and benefits to participants. d)BlocPower will provide project engineering, resource stacking, and financing options and work with pilot participants to complete projects in a target minimum of 5 units with a preferred range of 10-15 units (for the purpose of this letter proposal, “units” may include single family households, multi-family households, and single tenants or entire commercial buildings). e)BlocPower will identify local workforce resources for installation in coordination with City staff and other regional partners (e.g., 3C-REN, etc.). 2)Program Development ($10,000) a)BlocPower will provide communications support including graphics, copy, and design, in collaboration with City staff, to support pilot visibility and create building decarbonization momentum. b)Blocpower will conduct project closeout interviews to gather customer feedback. c)BlocPower will provide a final project report that, at a minimum, includes: i)Key publicly shareable insights from the BlocMap task ii)Relevant lessons and successes from each of the pilot projects, potentially including financial, technical, workforce, and utility details Document Ref: 7S5JU-2M9ZX-GUV5E-JEKDY Page 1 of 3 1625 Flatbush Avenue, Box #222 Brooklyn, NY 11210 iii)Recommendations to develop a program that grows in speed and scale consistent with the City’s building decarbonization goals. The total cost for this work would be $34,000. In order to complete this work effectively and within the estimated 16-month timeframe, BlocPower would require partnership from the city to support effective, localized program design, including identifying sources of flexible project incentives. I look forward to discussing the project with you in more detail.
