9 The key monetary considerations are shown on the top. The key performance assurance considerations are shown on the bottom. Both sets of considerations--monetary and performance assurance--are essential to maximizing the value of your solar system. A strong competitive procurement process not only delivers good pricing but also enables you to select a well qualified solar vendor. All these elements should be incorporated in an integrated manner, both in your procurement process and in the crafting of your contract. May 12,

10 Developing and running RFQs and RFPs or other competitive bid processes Putting competing proposals on equal footing Figuring out financing and rebates Evaluating cost effectiveness Obtaining performance assurances from selected vendor Negotiating contracts with vendors Helping to provide both the board and staff with the necessary confidence to prudently evaluate the solar electric option and to know which system and proposal to choose May 12,
