\"We are a registered CAISO scheduling coordinator, and we have our own SCID,\" Janine Camara said. SDCP said a selected scheduling agent must submit SDCP’s day‑ahead and real‑time schedules, bid SDCP’s resource offers and manage outages and CAISO scheduling requirements under SDCP’s SCID.

Camara said SDCP will not require full deal‑capture services because SDCP maintains an internal deal‑capture system, but proposers should identify any formatting or timing needs to ensure timely data flow to the scheduling agent. Reporting and on‑demand data access are required so SDCP can retrieve resource performance, market updates and other operational data.

Task 2 in Category B covers CRR services. SDCP seeks support for long‑term, annual and monthly CRR allocations and a bid strategy aligned with SDCP’s portfolio; deliverables include portfolio performance reports and after‑the‑fact CRR analysis tied to CAISO timelines.

Task 3 requests energy‑storage optimization software and related services to support SDCP’s growing portfolio of PPAs. Desired capabilities include resource adequacy (RA)‑compliant bidding, outage‑aware adjustments, price forecasting and tiered bidding, a user interface with manual override, risk and strategy customization, and adaptability to CAISO market rule changes. Camara said optimization tools must integrate with SDCP systems and provide data to SDCP’s scheduling agent so bids and schedules can be submitted on time.

Camara provided a planned transition window at the end of Q1 for moving to a new scheduling agreement and noted that many PPAs are in the pipeline and expected to come online in the next 24 months. She also said SDCP may consider a proposer’s submitted form of agreement for Category B; a pending addendum will describe whether SDCP will more formally accept proposer agreements as alternatives to SDCP’s professional services agreement.

Proposers should follow the RFP’s submission format and check for the pending addendum before submitting proposals for Category B.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Diego Community Power Load Forecasting and Scheduling Coordinator Services Pre-Proposal Webinar","oneSentenceSummary","San Diego Community Power is soliciting scheduling coordinator services under its SCID, optional congestion revenue rights support, and energy‑storage optimization software that integrates with SDCP systems and CAISO market processes.","taxTitle","San Diego Community Power, San Diego County, California","taxId",58530,"location","California","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6161373,"San Diego Community Power seeks short‑ and long‑term load forecasts to improve day‑ahead bids",296,1208000,1504000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5441987-6c3900abbf7daa56828e4a73c3d9e11f&start=1208&end=1504","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5441987-6c3900abbf7daa56828e4a73c3d9e11f/thumbnail_1208000.jpg","/articles/6161373/California/San-Diego-Community-Power-seeks-short-and-longterm-load-forecasts-to-improve-dayahead-bids","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161373-5f7128836047d99ff590bd0f7ac0735c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770501522&Signature=Fod0HSy3M-EUBs6hZUW5PtMdSpoDWNza2mQvkZGEo-Z2Ud0IP4v4KFKMpjCel1Z0-OD9kwUYFu2qX6PuDeofCDES5U5biis5InI5NY388d6sjqdVvska8zoq0Fc2HoWbnVm5EpM88TOviXeRbfiVkQ29he8~3uoB9m6WDu-7Uiz6~u29ZcZZfJLMgrawJy5P~hJlKHSjK8C3rhik4o8Ayh7u6eaXwku9tEEbwKiC1FHjn4ztMYDzrL-joMj-zWvq0F09KvBr57~skHP8z4EALp0G8~1iqEJ~LxssCu~DkkDFOKzx16jHUGcUl2PlIw~hEly7sp83VUjhOXWbiAjKgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Diego Community Power (SDCP) is requesting proposals for both short‑term and long‑term load‑forecasting services to improve accuracy of day‑ahead demand bids and to support power resource planning. Janine Camara, SDCP director of portfolio management, described the technical expectations and data constraints.

Camara said SDCP’s retail portfolio is approximately 8,000 gigawatt‑hours annually, and the short‑term forecast will be used primarily for daily demand bids submitted through SDCP’s scheduling coordinator. \"We are looking for highly reliable and accurate short‑term load forecasting,\" she said, and added that the forecast must be updated daily and provide an hourly, weather‑adjusted 14‑day forecast of SDCP’s aggregate load.

SDCP does not have access to real‑time SCADA meter data, Camara said. Providers must rely on settlement‑quality meter data: the transcript cites ESQMD availability at about eight days after the fact and ASQMD availability at about 52 days. The vendor is expected to supply forecasts in time to allow SDCP’s scheduling agent to incorporate them into day‑ahead bids.

For long‑term forecasting, SDCP seeks tools or services that produce megawatt‑hour and megawatt forecasts, monthly coincident peak megawatts and hourly megawatts broken down by customer load profiles. Camara said long‑term forecasts should be updated as needed to maintain accuracy, no less than twice a year, with a preference for quarterly updates.

An optional task in the RFP would have a provider prepare compliance‑ready filings for state agencies. Camara corrected a slide typo to clarify that the optional compliance task is tied to the long‑term forecast: \"If a provider wants to commit to making all those filings for us, we're definitely interested,\" she said.

SDCP asked proposers to include proposed reporting deliverables and error‑monitoring metrics. A participant asked what metrics SDCP expects in a weekly forecast‑error report; SDCP said it will provide a formal response via the Q&A because the RFP did not list a comprehensive metric set in the slides.

No contract amounts were discussed in the webinar. Proposers should follow the RFP format, submit required attachments and check for any addenda before finalizing proposals.","SDCP is soliciting providers for daily short‑term forecasts (hourly, weather‑adjusted 14‑day forecasts) and semiannual to quarterly long‑term forecasts to support day‑ahead bidding and compliance filings.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6161379,"San Diego Community Power details RFP 25-009 deadlines, submission rules and Q&A process",1232,0,1232000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5441987-6c3900abbf7daa56828e4a73c3d9e11f&start=0&end=1232","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5441987-6c3900abbf7daa56828e4a73c3d9e11f/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6161379/California/San-Diego-Community-Power-details-RFP-25-009-deadlines-submission-rules-and-QA-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161379-7df299ffc404f9bfbc3966b6ff2d9de2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770501522&Signature=RHm4e40hpMYEP7V1CZ1Df3Uiettc8s8~XUT7uclO2bFo8CCI~y1BnfJsnfPyapspj7-LqvjYQFxd2YjB8VTQpWeVg1yREUFPoCvUn04s0IEB~9LXRmze8iZDs7ZIf4dKwLZ6vh-zSd5VnlF6l~wRq4x3i8Qo2ThCkpc-ctCaIK99Q0ptd~Svm~JT17s1YsAwpEln9xEgriFIr03Cc~iseT1bsUJpH4MYew83QtM6PQKcY27-~gfEXTd2FdB2ingpMOKukCLcMMjQA0wtIySRlYxOVroYusANN1jgFOePITwiWRC4AFTy~fvyxHjiHglSS1OEcD~wMaG6yaxxZwyGLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Diego Community Power (SDCP) outlined deadlines, formatting rules and communications protocols for RFP No. 25‑009 during a preproposal webinar, emphasizing that questions and any changes will be handled through the published Q&A and formal addenda. Crystal Carranza, procurement analyst for SDCP, said participating firms must accept the RFP terms and follow the stated submission process.

The RFP covers two separate categories of work and SDCP said submissions for each category must be uploaded through separate submission forms on SDCP’s website. Carranza said, “Proposals will not be accepted via email or any other method,” and that each category requires a separate, single combined PDF formatted in Calibri 12, single spaced, with 1‑inch margins and documents ordered as listed in the RFP.

The RFP’s Q&A and addendum schedule is central to the procurement. SDCP set the written question deadline at July 24 at 9 a.m., said Carranza, and intends to publish final Q&A responses by July 31. SDCP warned proposers to check the solicitation web page for any addenda before submitting proposals.

SDCP gave different due dates for the two categories: proposals for Category A (load forecasting) are due Aug. 7 at 5 p.m.; proposals for Category B (scheduling coordinator and related services) are due Aug. 14 at 5 p.m. Carranza said SDCP plans to reserve Aug. 26–29 for interviews and will invite short‑listed proposers to schedule interviews on those dates.

The procurement analyst highlighted required attachments and format constraints. Attachments C through F are required with each submission. Attachment C is the submission checklist. Carranza said proposers should include a cover letter, qualifications, proposed approach, budgets, resumes, references (Attachment E) and any bonus‑point documentation in the order specified in the RFP.

SDCP described a bonus‑point program for local and small businesses. Proposers may claim up to two of four criteria — San Diego County employment, disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE), persons with disabilities business enterprises, and small business certification — for a maximum of 10 bonus points. Carranza said the disclosures are used for reporting to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and not as a demographic selection factor in the evaluation.

Regarding contractual exceptions, Carranza urged providers to review the sample professional services agreement posted with the RFP and to list any exceptions in their proposal. She cautioned that extensive exceptions may lead to rejection: \"If you are not submitting exceptions, we do assume that you are certifying that you're not taking any exceptions to the agreement.\" She also noted a pending addendum for Category B that, if issued, could change requirements for that category.

SDCP stressed communication controls to preserve a fair process. Carranza said questions must be submitted via the RFP’s Q&A link and cautioned, \"If it is discovered that a proposer contacts and receives information from SDCP personnel, board director or alternate outside of this Q&A process, SDCP may disqualify the proposer.\" She advised proposers to use the published procurement email only for technical submission issues.

The evaluation process will include a responsiveness check, scoring by an evaluation panel and interviews for shortlisted proposers. SDCP will issue notices of intent to award and invite selected proposers to negotiate; proposers not advancing will receive notification.

Proposers should verify Q&A postings and any addenda on SDCP’s website before finalizing submissions; SDCP emphasized that only the official RFP document and formal addenda control requirements and timelines.","San Diego Community Power (SDCP) reviewed submission requirements, deadlines, bonus‑point criteria and communication rules for RFP No. 25‑009 for load‑forecasting and scheduling services, and said written Q&A and addenda will govern any changes.","actionData","errors"]
