1. INTRODUCTION
The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) invites bids from solar energy developers (each a
“Bidder”) to design and construct a completely off-grid roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system
on a Pennsylvania Game Commission-owned property identified herein (the “System”). Bids
will be opened electronically in the PGC Division of Contracts and Procurement, 2001 Elmerton
Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-9797, on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM.
The solar goals of the Pennsylvania Game Commission are largely as follows:
• Encourage more use of a Pennsylvania Game Commission building by providing
it with an economical and sustainable solar energy and storage system
• Serve as a model for maximizing use of a Pennsylvania Game Commission
resource where locations are cost prohibitive for connecting electricity to the grid.
• Power its facilities through renewable, clean energy in support of their missions
of sustainability
• Share the sustainability efforts, including solar - if achieved, with their
communities, staff, and the greater public to demonstrate leadership in
sustainability
The description of this project is as follows: The design and installation of a completely-off-grid
energy system for a S.B. 872, SGL 203, in Wexford, PA. The system should include an
approximately 7-kW roof mounted photovoltaic solar array on the roof and a Lithium Ion battery
(LiFEPO4) that supports 9 kilowatt-hours per day to support a welder, freezer, compressor, and
lights. System must allow for fully off-grid energy system that produces approximately 7,507
kWh/year.
The PGC is interested in receiving bids for a direct ownership model, where the PGC will own
the system from its construction. The Bidder must have at least one employee that is a certified
North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) PV installer.
All System related equipment must be Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), such
as UL or ETL listed for its designed use. Construction must comply with current adopted State
Building Code at the time of permitting, which currently includes: International Building Code
(IBC 2018), National Electric Code (NEC 2017 or later, under National Fire Protection
Association or NFPA 70 Standards, and State Fire Marshall (if applicable).
Bidders (and/or their subcontractors and partners) to this bid shall have demonstrated experience
designing, planning, permitting, constructing, maintaining and financing solar electric systems;
have the ability and financial resources to construct and maintain the System; provide system
monitoring and maintenance; have established onsite safety standards and possess appropriate
levels of liability insurance and workmen’s compensation. Other requirements are detailed in this
document.
