Attn: Jerel Nielsen Purchasing & Materials Management 2415 LaPorte Avenue, Building E Fort Collins, CO 80521 RE: Poudre School District (PSD) Request for Proposal 09-709-001, Photovoltaic Installation at Bethke Elementary, Timnath, Colorado Dear Mr. Nielsen, Bella Energy, Inc; is pleased to submit this bid proposal to design, furnish and install a 10 kW photovoltaic (PV) system at Bethke Elementary School. This proposal encompasses the design, procurement, installation and commissioning of approximately ten kilowatts STC DC rated thin-film solar modules on the gymnasium roof at Bethke Elementary. This technology is being recommended for two reasons. First, there is plenty of available roof space for a 10 kW solar array. This changes the operative efficiency metric from watts/sqft to dollars/wattand thin-film is less costly per watt than. crystalline. In addition, due to its temperature sensitivity being somewhat less than that of the more standard crystalline technologies, each watt of thin-film photovoltaics. is shown to produce more energy (kWh) on an annualized basis in areas which experience high summer temperatures like those along the front range of Colorado. As such, the dollars/kWh metric for thin-film is even better. This array will be installed using a ballasted racking system. with added protective sheeting and no roof penetrations, oriented true south with a 12.5 degree tilt: Electrically, the array of 86 modules will be configured into 43 strings with the resulting 86 conductors being combined into two conductors at the roof level before running. through the junction boxand conduit already provided to Electrical .Room -152. The inverter will be mounted on the wall in this room and tied electrically into one single -pole breaker slot in the adjacent service panel which has a 250A bus and a 100A main breaker resulting in plenty of PV backfeed potential. All design and installation work will be done to the highest standards, meeting or exceeding all. applicable codes. PSD RFP 09-709-001 VW09 Bella Ener y:Confidehtial 3 In addition, a PV and weather monitoring system tying into and providing data to the existing Tridium building automation and reporting system will be designed, installed. and coordinated with existing staff and, at the owner's direction, with students. Part of this monitoring system will be a web cam providing a live view of the modules. This will allow both confirmation of operating conditions as well as a simple way of raising awareness of this low -profile technology. Appendix A includes design drawings for this project as well as a complete list of the principle materials. Appendix B provides the related cut sheets. I, Andrew McKenna, Vice President of Bella Energy, Inc. and Jim Welch, President, are authorized to make representations for our company. Our office address is 500 South Arthur Avenue, Suite 400, Louisville, CO. My cell number is 720-635-1166. Jim's cell is 970-217-4424. All materials used on this job are of industry -standard grade and designed for the use -to which it will be employed. The solar.modules have a 25-year production warranty and the inverter is warranted for 10 years. The racking is aluminum and is designed for this application (including design wind loading) and is also warranted for 10 years. Thank you for the opportunity to bid this project. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call. Sincerely, Andrew McKenna Vice President, Bella Energy 720-635-1166 7/9/09 Bella Energy. Confidential 4 e.5 Summary of Bella Energy Qualifications General Description Bella Energy is a.Colorado-based solar energy company with a combined experience of over 100 years in the industry. Our President Jim Welch has been a leader in the solar industry in Colorado for almost 30 years. Grown out of two previous solar companies located in Fort Collins — Remote Power International (1980) and Sun Electric Systems (2004) - Bella Energy and our partners have. installed over 3 megawatts of solar PV systems in and around the Rocky Mountain region. Our projects can be found in many western states, and eight foreign countries. Our customers include home owners, local governments, the National Park Service, critical operation mountain top cell phone sites, and commercial buildings. Bella .Energy has emerged as one of the leading Solar PV integrators in the Rocky Mountain Region with a proven track record of successful system designs and: installations. While the current business entity, a Colorado Corporation with 30. employees, has only been in existence for four years, Bella Energy is the current business structure of a longer -termed enterprise, owned and operated by Jim Welch continuously since the early 1980s; While this history provides the inevitable benefits of experience, expertiseandperspective, it has also infused Bella Energy with a passion for advocacy and promotion :of clean energy_ solutions. It can be. said that our work in the Northern Colorado region has been influential in creating an environment ripe for clean energy initiatives such as the one which is the subject of this bid. Subcontractor Utilization Bella Energy has the.capacity and in-house expertise to design and install PV systems ranging m=siza from:2 kW to 2 MW. -While we have, engaged- excavation contractors for some of our ground -mounted systems, this project will not require the .use of any subcontractors. All work related to the performance of the requirements of this contract will be undertaken and completed by Bella Energy staff. PSD RFP 09-709-001 7/9/09 Bella Energy Confidential 5 Joint Venture Status While Bella Energy has affiliations with other PV companies in Durango and Carbondale, neither of those entities will be involved in the performance of the requirements of this contract. Bella Energy is not offering this proposal as a joint venture or consortium. Reorganization/Restructuring Sun Electric Systems, Inc., founded in 2004, completed a rebranding effort in September 2007. At that time we became (dba) Bella Energy and within the past several months have completed the conversion to Bella Energy, Inc. There have been no other reorganization or restructuring efforts in the history of this company nor are there plans for such within the next 12-months. Previous Installations Antonito Schools In January 2008, Bella Energy completed the installation of two PV systems for the South Conejos School District in Antonito, Colorado. The 5.04 kW system (28 Evergree.n.ES-180 modules) on the Antonito High School utilizes an attached racking system allowing higher module tilting and resulting higher module efficiencies. It is equipped with a monitoring system that feeds data directly into the building automation system provided by our partner on the project;=EMC Engineers. The 6.84 kW array (38 Evergreen ES-180 modules):on Guadalupe Elementary School, is quite similar to the Bethke Elementary School project in that its array is ballasted and the PV system has a monitoring system. This monitoring system feeds directly to the Fat Spaniel web. site for observation and utilization via the PSD RFP 09-709-001 7/9/09 Bella Energy:Confdential 6 internet and via the Fat Spaniel Solar Schoolhouse website: http://view2.fatspaniel.net/SSH/SchoolView.jsp?school=antonito The spectacular aspect of this project was the result of it's remote nature. Being nearly 300 miles from our office, all planning forthis installation was done without a site visit. Designs were based on communications with EMC Engineers, materials were procured and schedules set without leaving our office.. Given our expertise and experience with such projects,. however, we met the tight timelines provided and had the system up and running in a single trip of our crew. Kent Denver School This project was contracted directly with the School Administration and required numerous levels of interface for Bella. The number of people involved and approvals required was considerable and Bella excelled at meeting expectations by all parties, much as it will do on the Bethke project. 1' I Boulder County A total of 615 kW of PV was installed on a total of 7 properties over a four month .period. A total of 3300 modules were installed ranging in size from 15OW to 300W each. Systems included both ballasted and attached flat -roof installs and one 44 kW ground -mounted array. Revenue -grade monitoring systems were required_ for each site in order to track production for both the public View and for our third -party partner in this contract. They all included weather stations and inverter -direct interfacing. For all it's complexity, the highlight of the installation portion of this project occurred early in the unusually snowy December. With less than three weeks to complete a 200 kW system on the Boulder Justice Center a murder trial began in the courtroom directly underneath the roof upon which Bella was working. All it took was one day of drilling the concrete roof (required for the attached racking) for the judge to require that no work be conducted during normal business _hours for the duration of the trial. Bella Energy took this as a challenge and held several all -hands, all -weekend and all-night marathons to meet the project deadline on time and within budget. There was no quitting nor complaining and the event actually served to make usa stronger team as we met our commitments under extremely adverse conditions. That being said working through the contract was, in some ways, more challenging than the; actual system installation. In order to. even begin work we needed to blaze - new trail in producing a Solar Host Agreement (a unique financing structure offered by Bella and our financing partner allowing system ownership after seven years for a fraction of current pricing) with a governmental organization restricted by TABOR. Bella's expert costing was plugged into the financing model and then began the long. process of financing adjustments, negotiations and legal consultation, ultimately resulting in an agreement, contract and plan for success. 4 i 1 1 1 PSD RFP 09-709-001 7/9/09 Bella Energy Confidential 8 Colorado State University Bella Energy was selected in a competitive bidding process to be the proud integrator for the CSU Solar Demonstration Project, putting 18.9 .kW (108 BP 175B modules) on the Engineering building in clear site of, the Student Center and Plaza. This was a project which exposed many unknowns and came with a tight timeline, externally mandated. Given the requirement that this project be highly visible, the arrays were to be tilted for maximal annualized production (40 degrees). This required the system to be attached. Since this is an older building and since CSU's drawings were inaccurate, much exploratory work was done along With extensive engineering design to establish a robust intertie system. The scheduling of many inspectors including non-CSU employees slowed things down, but in the end, contracts and: design took three months, fabrication of the supports took three weeks and the installation took less than five days — even given weather delays related to thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Bella Energy's expertise, experience and diligence made this a successful project. Applying more time to the design phase when uncertainty loomed allowed for a smooth installation and completion within tight scheduling. Bella Energy's Unique Qualifications With 180 projects totaling 2 MW completed over the past 18 months, Bella Energy has the expertise, the experience and the passion to develop and implement the Bethke Elementary. Photovoltaic Project. Bella Energy successfully designed and installed;multiple self -ballasted flat roof solar systems and :h. demonstrated its ability to complete complex solar installations on time and on budget We have successfully completed projects with schools, municipalities, Colorado State University, and the State of Colorado, where we completed a high profile 10 kW , project on the State Capitol. PSD RFP 09-709-001 7/9/09 Bella Energy Confidential 9 Bella Energy is highly motivated to work with the Poudre School District on the Bethke project because of our deep commitment to and involvement in the Northern Colorado community. Jim Welch has been a leader in this field in this community for years. Rick Coen is active in leading the Northern Colorado Renewable Energy Society founded in part by Fort Collins' own Maury Albertson. He also works actively with the Fort Collins Utility; City Council and the. Electric Board to promote energy intelligence in the.community where he lives. Jim Volpa, on the Board of Trees Water and People has been involved. with Poudre School District for years as a concerned citizen and how as a clean energy advocate and parent. Our roots are here. Our commitment is here. Our sense of pride and accomplishment are here.. We would be honored to be chosen to work with Stu Peeve and the other visionaries at Poudre School District to, realize this dream at - Bethke Elementary. Work Plan Beginning with General Conditions considerations, Bella will begin this project by making certain all expectations are documented and all documentation detailed and properly submitted to meet PSD requirements and complete the appropriate permit applications. Once this groundwork has been established, materials will be ordered. Given our close and consistent relationship with the equipment manufacturers, we expect timely shipment with related short lead times. During this time, an All -Parties meeting will be held and. construction schedules will be developed. Shortly after the materials arrive, Bella will begin the installation with materials being. delivered the same. day construction begins. Utilizing our box truck for on -site storage, we will then complete the system. installation — both the array and the electrical intertie — within a week. As soon as the required components are in place,. the monitoring system and web cam will also be installed and physically connected to the existing building automation system. Bella's work does not:stop there, however. We will then commission the system, making sure that everything is in top operating condition, complete as -built drawings, w -- train all assigned PSD personnel in system —usage and help with the interfacing of - the - the monitoring system with the Tridium building automation system. Throughout this entire process, the Xcel Solar Rewards Program is interwoven. Bella Energy will work with PSD personnel to complete the required applications, submit the required documentation and oversee the timely collection of incentive PSD RFP 09-709-001 7/9/09 Bella Energy Confidential 10. . payments. Bella has considerable experience in this area and will work to assure.a smooth --process. _t For a complete Gantt Chart for the project, see Appendix C. Once selected for this project, Bella Energy will meet with PSD representatives to fully lay out a negotiated work plan taking into consideration a more detailed understanding of PSD scheduling interests and requirements. At this time it is understood that completion prior to the commencement of classes in August is not required and installation work during school hours is acceptable. As such, task durations, rather than particular dates are provided in the Gantt Chart. In addition, Appendix D provides a. list of the Bella Energy team members who will be assigned to this project along with their roles and a brief overview of their backgrounds. While many of us hold the highest certification for photovoltaic design and installation, NABCEP, Bella Energy is also a qualified contractor by the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (COSIEA) for the Governor's Energy Office Solar Rebate Program.

L L1 To Utility Grid 480/240/208 �. L3 VAC WYE <F (optional) N The new line of SMA SCCB and SBCB combiner boxes is a culmination of our many years worth of experience With the diffi- culties of combining large numbers of PV strings into a single inverter. This simple component has generally become known as a common point of failure in Iarge.PV.arrays. The SMA design minimizes the number of components, resulting in the most robust and reliable combiner boxes in the PV industry. PV wires are landed directly to individual Touch SafeTM fuse holders. The fuse holder outputs are combined into heavy-duty bus -bar combs where the output wires are connected to over -sized mechanical lugs. All wiring is routed in an orderly manner throughout the enclosure, minimizing the chance of shorting caused by pinched or abraded wires. Individual: PV string circuit fuses may be safely de -energized and removed by opening the Touch SafeTM fuse holders. No special tools are required. Output wires may be paralleled to keep wire sizes small and convenient to pull through conduit. Combiner boxes may be paralleled to further increase the total number of PV strings, with 'the .wires landing directly at the Sunny Central DC terminals. The steel enclosure is NEMA 3R rated for outdoor installations. And all SMA combiner boxes are listed to UL1741. Please call for availability of models not listed in the chart below.
