Does that mean that the final deliverable is due February 2027? |\n|  |  |  | SEO staff believe the project can be completed within one year of contract execution but have added extension opportunities as a contingency. SEO staff would like potential bidders to provide their best estimate of the time required to fulfill the project requirements. |\n| Q2 | Section: II. Scope of Services | 12 | What existing datasets will the SEO provide (e.g. , LiDAR, rooftop footprints, socioeconomic and LMI indicators), and are there gaps where the consultant is expected to collect additional ground-level data? |\n|  |  |  | The SEO has access to some socioeconomic data including that serving the Disadvantaged Communities Viewer on the Energy Hub site located on the webpage for the Division of Climate, Coastal and Energy. Additional data may also be available from the Delaware Public Service Commission, Sustainable Energy Utility, and Electric Distribution Companies. |\n| Q3 | Section: II. Scope of Services | 12 | Does the SEO prioritize any segments for deeper analysis, or expect uniform detail across all segments? |\n|  |  |  | SEO Staff seek a baseline analysis of current solar PV adoption across each of the identified market segments, a quantitative analysis of the technical potential for individual segments and a hybrid qualitative/quantitative analysis of the market potential for each segment. After performing the baseline and technical potential analyses, more attention can be devoted to segments with high market potential relative to the baseline. For example, since the |\n\n\n|  |  |  | residential market segment has seen the greatest amount of development, less emphasis can be placed on the examination of barriers to residential market potential (aside from the lesser developed low-income market segment) . |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Q4 | Section: II. Scope of Services | 13 | Are there preferred GIS platforms or mapping standards (coordinate systems, projections) for the technical potential analysis, and should deliverables comply with any specific software or open-data requirements? |\n|  |  |  | Any analysis regarding the potential size of the market for solar photovoltaic electric generation facilities in Delaware ought to include the following information in final deliverables:\u003Cbr>· Original source of Data used in analysis\u003Cbr>· Description of variables\u003Cbr>· Analysis steps/ geoprocessing on source data\u003Cbr>· Description of all data produced |\n| Q5 | Section: II. Scope of Services | 14 | Are there specific discount rates, cost projections, or SREC pricing assumptions the SEO expects, or should the consultant define these? |\n|  |  |  | SEO Staff recommend that bidders suggest an approach for defining these assumptions. |\n| Q6 | Section: II. Scope of Services | 14 | When modeling market potential scenarios (baseline, high growth, and policy-enhanced with storage), should the consultant incorporate only current incentives or also evaluate hypothetical policy changes and new incentives? |\n|  |  |  | SEO Staff recommend that bidders suggest an approach for measuring the economic and financial barriers to market potential and policy changes necessary to achieve full market potential. |\n| Q7 | Section: II. Scope of Services | 15 | Will the SEO supply datasets for equity and LMI analysis, or should the consultant source and potentially collect primary data? |\n|  |  |  | The SEO can provide the socioeconomic data incorporated in the\u003Cbr>Disadvantaged Communities Viewer on the Energy Hub site located on the |\n\n\n|  |  |  | webpage for the Division of Climate, Coastal and Energy.
