Objective The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified Consultants for on-call program evaluation assistance with current and future Distributed Energy Resources deployment. B. Background City of Fort Collins Utilities (Utilities) serves more than 65,000 (both single family and multi-family) electric customers with total annual sales of approximately 1,500 gigawatt- hours. The Utility also provides water, wastewater, stormwater and financing services. More information about Fort Collins Utilities can be found at fcgov.com/utilities. Within this group of residential customers, approximately 26,000 single family homes also receive water services. Fort Collins Utilities seeks to better understand their customer base through a segmentation study intended to classify the various customers into segments based on shared commonalities. Utility provider models are changing, and the City of Fort Collins has adopted aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets. Fort Collins Utilities is interested in a multi-variable assessment of their customer base in order to develop more effective service delivery models, meet customer expectations, and optimize programs and services. Fort Collins Utilities administers and implements several efficiency, renewable and demand response programs, collectively Distributed Energy Resources – (DERs). Utilities has also worked with Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) and the other three owner communities on the administration of Efficiency Works branded suite of programs. In addition, Utilities is currently participating in a DER strategic planning effort which will continue to lay the groundwork for how Utilities collaborates with PRPA in operating the electric utility grid of the future. II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL A. Scope of Work The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified Consultants for on-call program evaluation assistance with current and future DERs deployment. We have defined DERs as any physical or virtual devices or systems that can be deployed on the electric distribution system or on customer premises that can be used to provide value to all customers through electric system optimization and/or individual customer benefits. Some examples include rooftop solar, battery storage, electric vehicles and chargers, as well as energy efficiency and smart thermostats. Fort Collins Utilities (Utilities) regularly seeks to partner with third party Consultants to conduct independent program evaluations, billing analyses, and other market research to better inform planning and strategy of future utility efforts. The on-call Consultant selected through this RFP process will partner with Utilities to cover a broad range of voluntary program evaluations and assist with future planning efforts.

The Professional will provide, from insurance companies acceptable to the City, the insurance coverage designated hereinafter and pay all costs. Before commencing work under this bid, the Professional shall furnish the City with certificates of insurance showing the type, amount, class of operations covered, effective dates and date of expiration of policies, and containing substantially the following statement: “The insurance evidenced by this Certificate will not reduce coverage or limits and will not be cancelled, except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the City of Fort Collins.” In case of the breach of any provision of the Insurance Requirements, the City, at its option, may take out and maintain, at the expense of the Professional, such insurance as the City may deem proper and may deduct the cost of such insurance from any monies which may be due or become due the Professional under this Agreement. The City, its officers, agents and employees shall be named as additional insureds on the Professional 's general liability and automobile liability insurance policies for any claims arising out of work performed under this Agreement. 2. Insurance coverages shall be as follows: A. Workers' Compensation & Employer's Liability. The Professional shall maintain during the life of this Agreement for all of the Professional's employees engaged in work performed under this Agreement: 1.

Official Purchasing Document Last updated 10/2017 Professional Services Agreement – Work Order Type - Utilities Page 27 of 29 EXHIBIT CONFIDENTIALITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES to be provided by Professional under this Agreement, the parties agree to comply with reasonable policies and procedures with regard to the exchange and handling of confidential information and other sensitive materials between the parties, as set forth below. 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the party who owns the confidential information and is disclosing same shall be referenced as the “Disclosing Party.” The party receiving the Disclosing Party’s confidential information shall be referenced as the “Receiving Party.” 2. Confidential Information. Confidential Information controlled by this Agreement refers to information which is not public and/or is proprietary and includes by way of example, but without limitation, City customer information, utility data, service billing records, customer equipment information, location information, network security system, business plans, formulae, processes, intellectual property, trade secrets, designs, photographs, plans, drawings, schematics, methods, specifications, samples, reports, mechanical and electronic design drawings, customer lists, financial information, studies, findings, inventions, and ideas. To the extent practical, Confidential Information shall be marked “Confidential” or “Proprietary.” Nevertheless, Professional shall treat as Confidential Information all customer identifiable information in any form, whether or not bearing a mark of confidentiality or otherwise requested by the City, including but not limited to account, address, billing, consumption, contact and other customer data. In the case of disclosure in non- documentary form of non-customer identifiable information, made orally or by visual inspection, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, or, if requested by the Receiving Party, the obligation to confirm in writing the fact and general nature of each disclosure within a reasonable time after it is made in order that it is treated as Confidential Information. Any information disclosed to the other party prior to the execution of this Agreement and related to the services for which Professional has been engaged shall be considered in the same manner and be subject to the same treatment as the information disclosed after the execution of this Agreement with regard to protecting it as Confidential Information. 3. Use of Confidential Information. Receiving Party hereby agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement and not in any way detrimental to Disclosing Party. Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care Receiving Party uses with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information, which in any event shall result in a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, Receiving Party shall keep confidential and not disclose the Confidential Information. The City and Professional shall cause each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and subcontractors to become familiar with, and abide by, the terms of this section, which shall survive this Agreement as an on-going obligation of the Parties. Professional shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself, or any third party, other than in the performance of obligations under this Agreement. Official Purchasing Document Last updated 10/2017 Professional Services Agreement – Work Order Type - Utilities Page 28 of 29 4. Exclusions from Definition. The term “Confidential Information” as used herein does not include any data or information which is already known to the Receiving Party or which before being divulged by the Disclosing Party (1) was generally known to the public through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (2) has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, a breach of an obligation of confidentiality; (3) has been approved for release by a written authorization by the other party hereto; or (4) has been disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or by operation of law. 5. Required Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is required (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, or by federal, state, or local law, including without limitation, the Colorado Open Records Act) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Parties agree the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request, so the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive the Receiving Party’s compliance with this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall furnish a copy of this Agreement with any disclosure. 6. Notwithstanding paragraph 5, Professional shall not disclose Confidential Information to any person, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, except as required or authorized in writing by the City. 7. Red Flags Rules. Professional must implement reasonable policies and procedures to detect, prevent and mitigate the risk of identity theft in compliance with the Identity Theft Red Flags Rules found at 16 Code of Federal Regulations part 681. Further, Professional must take appropriate steps to mitigate identity theft if it occurs with one or more of the City’s covered accounts and must as expeditiously as possible notify the City in writing of significant breeches of security or Red Flags to the City. 8. Data Protection and Data Security. In addition to the requirements of paragraph 7, Professional shall have in place information security safeguards designed to conform to or exceed industry best practices regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of utility and customer information and shall have written agreements requiring any subcontractor to meet those standards. These information security safeguards (the “Information Security Program”) shall be materially consistent with, or more stringent than, the safeguards described in this Exhibit. a) Professional’s information security safeguards shall address the following elements: • Data Storage, Backups and Disposal • Logical Access Control (e.g., Role-Based) • Information Classification and Handling • Secure Data Transfer (SFTP and Data Transfer Specification) • Secure Web Communications • Network and Security Monitoring • Application Development Security Official Purchasing Document Last updated 10/2017 Professional Services Agreement – Work Order Type - Utilities Page 29 of 29 • Application Security Controls and Procedures (User Authentication, Security Controls, and Security Procedures, Policies and Logging) • Incident Response • Vulnerability Assessments • Hosted Services • Personnel Security b) Subcontractors. Professional may use subcontractors, though such activity shall not release or absolve Professional from the obligation to satisfy all conditions of this Agreement, including the data security measures described in this Exhibit, and to require a substantially similar level of data security, appropriate to the types of services provided and Customer Data received, for any subcontractor Professional may use. Accordingly, any release of data, confidential information, or failure to protect information under this Agreement by a subcontractor or affiliated party shall be attributed to Professional and may be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement. 9. Confidential Information is not to be stored on any local workstation, laptop, or media such as CD/DVD, USB drives, external hard drives or other similar portable devices unless the Professional can ensure security for the Confidential Information so stored. Work stations or laptops to be used in the Work will be required to have personal firewalls on each, as well as have current, active anti-virus definitions. 10. The Agreement not to disclose Confidential Information as set forth in this Exhibit shall apply during the term of the Work and at any time thereafter unless specifically authorized by the City in writing. 11. If Professional breaches this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement and withdraw Professional’s right to access Confidential Information. 12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all material, i.e., various physical forms of media in which Confidential Information is contained, including but not limited to writings, drawings, tapes, diskettes, prototypes or products, shall remain the sole property of the Disclosing Party and, upon request, shall be promptly returned, together with all copies thereof to the Disclosing Party. Upon such return of physical records, all digital and electronic data shall also be deleted in a non-restorable way by which it is no longer available to the Receiving Party. Written verification of the deletion (including date of deletion) is to be provided to the Disclosing Party within ten (10) days after completion of engagement, whether it be via termination, completion or otherwise. 13. Professional acknowledges that the City may, based upon the representations made in this Agreement, disclose security information that is critical to the continued success of the City’s business. Accordingly, Professional agrees that the City does not have an adequate remedy at law for breach of this Agreement and therefore, the City shall be entitled, as a non- exclusive remedy, and in addition to an action for damages, to seek and obtain an injunction or decree of specific performance or any other remedy, from a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin or remedy any violation of this Agreement.
