Central Cambria School District hears presentations from two solar PPA finalists for Cambria Township campus
Summary
The Central Cambria School District board heard 30-minute presentations from two finalists for a solar power purchase agreement (PPA) intended to serve Cambria Elementary, the middle school and the high school; the item was informational and no action was taken.
The Board of Directors of the Central Cambria School District heard presentations on June 2, 2025, from two finalist teams vying to provide a solar power purchase agreement for the district's Cambria Township campus, covering Cambria Elementary School (CES), Central Cambria Middle School (CCMS) and Central Cambria High School (CCHS). Dr. Thomas A. Woods, president of the board, emphasized that "this proposal pertains only to Cambria Elementary, the Middle School, and the High School. Jackson Elementary is not included in this project."
Dr. Jason Moore, an administrator for the district, summarized the RFP process that produced the finalists: the district solicited responses to a Power Purchase Agreement RFP after reviewing annual electricity costs that he said "exceed $700,000." Twelve proposals were received initially; that pool was narrowed to six for second interviews and then to the two finalists invited to present tonight, BAI Group and McClure Company/Envinity. Presentations were limited to 30 minutes each.
A coin flip determined the order of presentations: McClure Company/Envinity chose "heads" but the coin landed tails, giving BAI Group the first presentation slot. BAI Group presented from 6:10 p.m. to 6:40 p.m.; Dr. Woods thanked Sel Edor of BAI Group for attending. McClure Company/Envinity presented from 6:45 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.; Dr. Woods likewise thanked that team for presenting.
The meeting record shows no formal motion, vote or decision on the PPA; the session was informational. Dr. Woods opened the floor for public and media comments after the presentations; none were offered. The minutes record that the meeting was adjourned at 7:17 p.m.
Next steps were not specified in the meeting minutes: the transcript records only the presentations and that they were part of an RFP process. Any future board action (for example, selection of a developer, approval of contract terms, or scheduling a vote) would be expected to appear on a subsequent board agenda.
