What this contract is for

Agency: City of Pasadena - Water & Power Department
Location: Pasadena, CA
Scope: State & Local

The City of Pasadena, through Pasadena Water and Power ("PWP"), is seeking proposals from qualified local banks and credit unions to partner in implementing a Low-Interest Solar and Energy Storage Loan Program. This program will primarily target low-income PWP residential electric customers enrolled in one of PWP's Electric Utility Assistance Programs (e.g., EUAP, CARES, CARES Plus). The Public Benefit Fund will subsidize, or "buydown," each loan to allow the successful Proposing Entity to offer a target interest rate within the range of 0% to 3% APR. Public Benefit Fund Allocation: PWP has tentatively allocated $3,000,000 for loan buydowns over three years. Target Participation Goal: PWP's goal is to fund loans for 175 customers over the program's initial three-year period. Optional Component: Proposing Entities are also encouraged to present options for offering similar loans to PWP's regular, non-low income electric customers.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
