RFQ - Campus Decarbonization and Electrification Study

The University of California, Irvine (hereinafter referred to as "UCI" or the "University") seeks qualified consultants to provide engineering study services (hereinafter referred to as "Consultant" or "Consultants"). Consultants will provide a decarbonization and electrification plan focused on Scope 1 emissions from the campus Central Plant and Medical Center Central Plant. In the fall of 2022 UC President Michael Drake convened the Pathways to a Fossil Free UC Task Force (P2FFUC) under the UC Global Climate Leadership Council (GCLC) to address the challenge of decarbonizing UC location's central energy systems. The goals of the Task Force are to develop recommendations on steps and timelines to eliminate fossil fuels in each location's energy systems - including change management needs, budget implications, as well as opportunities to advance climate research, education, and student experience. This decarbonization study's results will be reported to the P2FFUC and ultimately President Drake. The University seeks the qualifications of engineering professionals that are interested in providing decarbonization and electrification pre-design study services. This project will investigate and document replacement or retrofit options for existing campus fossil fuel energy systems. The specific focus of this study is the UCI campus Central Plant and microgrid, serving approximately 7 million square feet, and the UCI Medical Center central steam plant, serving approximately 1 million square feet. Estimated Contract Duration: 3 Years Every effort will be made to ensure that all persons have equal access to contracts and other business opportunities with the University within the limits imposed by law or University policy. Interested firms will be required to show evidence of their equal employment opportunity policy. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
