| Please provide a brief description of your organization | The Narragansett Bay Commission is a not-for-profit public corporation established by the RI General Assembly in 1980. It owns and operates RI's 2 largest municipal wastewater treatment facilities. Project design elements that differ significantly from the RIOER Grant Application (see attached sanitized version of grant application) must be noted. Existing light masts (there are six that illuminate parking spaces and 2 that illuminate nearby paved surfaces) must either continue to be used as intended or be appropriately modified within this project, such that overall lighting design is unchanged, and the interior of the carport shall be equipped with energy efficient outdoor lighting. A scheduled pre-bid site visit is required in order to submit a proposal. Proposals containing project pricing must be submitted by the deadline only to NBC. A performance bond may be required. Only proposals that offer to provide a turnkey system with performance guarantee will be considered. | ||||||||||||||||

| Please provide a brief description of the renewable energy project you are seeking | NBC seeks to purchase a turnkey solar carport over the parking lot of the Water Quality Science building located at the Fields Point in Providence. The electrical production will offset electric use by several NBC buildings that are serviced by a single utility meter. It’s possible that the solar carport may at times produce more that power than is consumed. The canopy will be located under one of NBC's large wind turbines and will protect cars and people underneath it from falling snow and ice. NBC has a Renewable Energy Fund grant for the solar carport project that also includes a storage battery with the ability to export to the local supply grid. The project will install the infrastructure (but no chargers) needed to connect at least one dual-port level 2 charger in the future. | ||||||||||||||||
