9. Overview of Presentation: Three Areas of Focus
The tangible result of our Team’s proposed solution is an
iconic and well integrated system powered by superior
components.
Our construction strategy based on minimizing site
disruption and addressing integration complexities early
in the process.
Our Team is focused on functioning as a collaborative
business partner to TIA and ensuring quality control
thoroughly meets standards.

10. System Aesthetics
The proposed system is both aesthetic and practical in terms of construction. An aeronautical
theme has further been achieved with a functional PV array ‘Tail Flip’.
(Eli) 9
11. Preserving The Effectiveness of the Existing Site
In developing the site plan, effective existing site features have been assessed and preserved.
(Eli) 10
12. Customer Experience
Aesthetics are also keenly focused on creating a positive customer experience with the overall
design intended to be recognized as landmark system for Tucson, A Solar American City.
(Eli) 11
13. Preserving the Existing Lot and Landscaping
System placement will effectively maintain the current
vegetation located along the pedestrian walkway through
the center of the daily parking.
New lighting will be installed that will be more effective than the
existing and provide a dramatic nighttime system appearance.
(Eli) 12
14. Minimizing Site Disruption
The system’s integration is expected to preserve all
parking spaces and maintain drive aisle sight-visibility
triangles.
Construction will require limited trenching and
disruption to the existing parking surface, of which
should significantly reduce or avoid any lost revenue.
(Ben) 13
15. System Elevations and Dimensions
The canopy structure, of which will require an area of approximately 3.812 acres, is based on a
modular design that is intended to be replicated with Phase 2 and 3 expansions.
(Ron) 14
16. System Structural Approach
The system support structure has been
designed for efficient use of
materials, while providing for
construction efficiencies.
• Based on Primary and
Secondary PV Array Sections
• 18” Square Precast Columns
Approximately 20’ Above Grade
• Steel Girder and Beam Canopy
Configuration
• Schletter S4 Racking
Insert statement as to
intelligence, practicality and other
attributes of the structural approach and
materials

17. Major System Components
All system components
have been selected for
ease of maintenance, long
term reliability and
excellent performance. PV Modules Grid-tie Inverters Mounting System
(California) (Oregon) (Arizona)
Additionally, the system
components are proudly
sourced from domestic
(Made in the USA)
manufacturers. DC Combiners Disconnects Data Monitoring

18. The Kyocera Solar Advantage
• Exceptional Company Strength and
Longevity
Have been profitable every year of
operation (50+ years)
• Proven Power Output Over Time
The most revealing performance
indicator
• Vertically Integrated Manufacturing
& ISO Certification
‘Chain of Customer’ Manufacturing
process Total Quality Control
(Wes) 17
19. System Performance
• To preserve the system aesthetics
there is a minor tradeoff between
Excellent Performance
vs. Optimal Output.
• The prevailing PV module Tilt (10 )
and orientation (225 ) applies to
both the main and secondary PV
sections.
• Estimated kWh output is based on
an AC to DC derate of .84 vs.
Guaranteed kWh the baseline PV
Watts derate factor of .77
(Ben) 18
20. Project Design & Engineering Intricacies
Electrical engineering of the system
requires immediate analysis of
various interconnection intricacies.
• Viability and expense of existing
TEP Feeder
Modification/Replacement.
• Further exploration of the
alternative interconnection
approaches trade-offs.
• TEP interface to determine
accounting of excess kWh
generation.
• Trenching and conduit work for
future system expansions
(Dave) 19
21. Effective Planning and Project Management
Ongoing project management
of the system design through
installation will entail much
preliminary planning for:
• Construction Staging
• Construction Lay Down
Areas.
• Planned ‘Just-in-time’
Component Delivery.
Critical Path Project Task and
Activity Scheduling will serve
as a daily dashboard for
progress and status.
(Bob) 20
22. The Team’s Integrated Project Delivery Approach
As led by Barker Morrissey Construction, the Team’s collective
integrated project delivery approach allows for best practice construction
project management techniques.
Design and Construction Alternatives and their costs are addressed
as the design progresses.
One point of contact for all communications and project
responsibilities.
Unanticipated costs and delays are eliminated.
Construction can be phased and started prior to the completion of
design allowing for quicker delivery.
(Bob) 21
23. Responsiveness to TIA and Funding Entities
The Team recognizes that TIA’s interface with the project grant funding
entities must be supported in a most responsive fashion, hence:
• The Team will assist in providing all FAA and
ADOT deliverables, quickly, efficiently and
accurately.
• Rapid turnaround of the Construction
Management Plan (CMP), Project Schedule
and other post award deliverables will
commence after a notice to proceed has
been received.
• Compliance with AIP Buy American
Preferences will be confirmed and necessary
waiver submittals will be initiated.
(Ben) 22
24. ‘Get it Right the First Time’ Quality Control
A well constructed Quality Control
Program is a necessity to provide for
the Proper Design and Construction of
the Project.
• The Team has assigned highly
experienced individuals to lead the
key Construction and Design
management roles.
• Adapting existing and developing
project specific policies, processes
and procedures will streamline the
project rather than create burden
(Design, Construction, Safety).
(Ben) 23
25. TIA Quality Assurance
Develop the mechanisms early in the project to support
TAA’s Quality Assurance Role.
Define and plan inspections with standardized and
repeatable processes.
Develop the Design Quality Management Plan (DQMP)
and Construction Quality Management Plan (CQMP)
with accompanying processes and checkpoints.
(Ben) 24
27. Alternate 1: Connect to Central Plant
This alternative interconnection will entail feeding a
260 kW-AC inverter from the existing 300 kVA TEP
transformer near the parking pay station booth,
and re-feeding the existing 10 kW PV system from
the new AC combiner panel.
A feed to a new AC combiner panel from the existing 2000 KVA TEP transformer
located near the central plant would be required. This AC combiner panel will
feed an additional 260 kW-AC inverter and a 500 kW-AC inverter
(Dave) 26
28. Alternate 2: One Year Post-Warranty Maintenance Agreement
The following elements will be included in a one year warranty
maintenance plan. This contract will also encompass an option to
renew the plan each year and will be quoted in two year increments as
requested:
(Wes) 27
29. Alternate 3: Real Time Energy Production Kiosk
• The data display and monitoring system
proposed by the Team is intended to provide TIA
the very best of today’s energy monitoring and
display technology.
• In a side by side comparison of many popular
energy monitoring systems in the market, the
Noveda product solution stands out.
• The kiosk itself is intended to be
attractive, flexible and robust and various
standalone and wall mounted options exist.
• The goal is to place the kiosk in the most
advantageous location in the terminal to provide
the visitor both the functionality of the kiosk and
a view of the system.
(Ben) 28
30. Alternate 4: Electronic Advertising Screens
For this Alternate, the Team went ‘Large’ in
proposed electronic advertising screens.
Because they are digital, the information can be
changed out easily and quickly and are intended
to present information in an attractive design
package.
The quantity of digital signage is intended to keep
the potential maintenance and power
requirements for the advertising at a manageable
level and keep the quantity of signage space at a
level which can provide an advertiser with
sufficient coverage with an optimal return on their
investment in a tasteful manner.

31. Alternate 5: Addition of Green Walls
The additional option of vegetated
trellises can be integrated onto
selected columns under the canopy
in addition to the inverter pad and
surrounding security fence.
Integration of the vegetated trellises
are the primary focus of the Team’s
Alternate 5: Addition of Green Walls.
