Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is seeking consultant services to develop and support a comprehensive Community Energy Resilience Program. The program aims to increase the region's resilience to power outages caused by Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events, wildfires, earthquakes, flooding, extreme heat, and other disruptions. The engagement includes four main tasks: (1) Develop a Regional Energy Resilience Plan that assesses vulnerabilities, evaluates technological solutions and policy strategies, and creates a roadmap for implementation; (2) Define, identify, and assess critical community facilities through geospatial analysis and energy modeling to determine which sites are suited for resilience technology solutions, resulting in a customizable data platform; (3) Provide education and technical assistance resources including webinars and guidebooks on energy resilience principles, available technologies, battery storage contracting best practices, and resilience value assessment; (4) Support member agencies through a Master Services Agreement to conduct jurisdiction-level resilience planning, feasibility assessments, site assessments for capital projects, community engagement and communications, and inter/intra-agency coordination planning. The program runs through 2022 with a total budget of $5,000,000, with $1,150,000 allocated to the energy resilience planning component. Consultants may respond to all tasks, individual tasks, or a subset of tasks. The successful consultant(s) must demonstrate expertise in resilience planning, energy modeling, complex data analysis, building sciences, and engineering. The consultant team will work across SVCE's service territory comprising 13 communities: Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, and Unincorporated Santa Clara County.
