RECOMMENDED ACTION;
Adopt Resolution No. 2013-233 of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad approving
selection criteria and performance specifications and authorizing design builder request for proposals for
a photovoltaic system at Alga Norte Community Park, project no. 3925 and 3837.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
In support ofthe city's sustainability and environmental guiding principles, staff reviewed the potential
for installation of a photovoltaic energy generation solution for the Alga Norte Community Park (ANCP)
project. A feasibility study was conducted by Alternative Energy Systems Consulting for ANCP to
determine whether a large scale solar photovoltaic system was appropriate for the site. The study
confirmed that the site is appropriate for a system with potential to generate approximately 600,000-
800,000 kilowatts of energy, which could offset nearly all of Alga Norte Community Park's annual
electricity consumption.
Staff is requesting Council authorization to solicit proposals for installation of a photovoltaic energy
project at ANCP using the design-build delivery method. The photovoltaic system would be comprised of
a number of solar arrays to be located within the ANCP parking lot (see Exhibit 2). In addition to
providing electrical energy for the park, the arrays have the added benefit of providing shade cover for a
large number of parking spaces. Goals for the system include a simple payback of 10-12 years and for the
photovoltaic system to provide most of Alga Norte Community Park's energy needs. Statewide incentives
will be utilized to reduce overall capital costs associated with the implementation of a photovoltaic
energy generation system.
The proposed method of project delivery will follow Section 3.28.085 F.l of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
This method allows for selection of a design-build firm based upon performance, specifications and
criteria set forth by Council in the design-builder request for proposals. Pursuant to city code, the
selection criteria may include, but not be limited to, items such as proposed design approach, initial
and/or life cycle costs, project features, financing, quality, capacity, schedule, and operational and
functional performance ofthe facility. The performance specifications for the project were prepared by
Alternative Energy Systems Consulting, Inc., a design firm that specializes in solar photovoltaic design
systems. Award ofthe design-build contract shall be made to the design-builder entity whose proposal is
judged as providing the best value meeting the interest of the city and meeting the objectives of the
project.

Staff prepared the project request for proposals (RFP) entitled "Alga Norte Community Park Solar
Photovoltaic Project Design Build Team, Request for Technical and Pricing Proposals" (see Exhibit 4). The
design-builder team submittals will be scored and ranked according to the selection criteria and
maximum possible scoring as shown in Table 1 below. A unique and innovative feature ofthe scoring for
this project is the inclusion of "Net Present Value ofthe Investment" as one ofthe selection criteria. Each
proposing firm will be required to complete a net present value analysis of their proposed project
solution using a city-defined formula that takes into account construction, maintenance and replacement
costs over a 30 year period. The proposing firm that has the highest net present value for the proposed
investment will receive the maximum points. All other firms will receive a percentage of the maximum
score relative to a ratio as defined in the RFP. This method will help to ensure selection ofthe best value
life-cycle solution meeting the city's needs.

In conformance with American with Disabilities Act requirements, the project includes provision of a
parking shade structure over the handicap spaces in front ofthe park administrative building. The
handicap shade structure location is not conducive for use as a support for solar voltaic panels; however,
it is needed to meet ADA requirements that call for covered handicap spaces when such spaces are
provided for non-handicap parking areas. City staff will evaluate the proposals and bring a final
recommendation back to City Council for consideration of a contract award later this year.
FISCAL IMPACT;
City Council previously appropriated General Capital Construction Funds and Public Facilities Fee Funds
for the ANCP Project. There are sufficient remaining appropriations to complete the ANCP Solar
Photovoltaic Project and no additional appropriations are being requested at this time.

I. GENERAL
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Carlsbad ("city") is located about 35 miles north of the City of San Diego on the
Southern California coast, where a great climate, beautiful beaches, lagoons and abundant natural
open space, with world class resorts, family attractions, well-planned neighborhoods, a diverse
business sector and a charming village atmosphere combine to create the ideal California
experience. Covering nearly 42-square miles, the city is approaching build out and is currently
home to nearly 107,000 residents. Carlsbad is a Charter City and is not required to comply with the
Prevailing Wage Act The city is served by SDG&E for gas and electric services.
The following request for proposal (RFP) pertains to the design, construction and installation of a
solar/photovoltaic generation system at Alga Norte Community Park (ANCP), currently under
construction within the City of Carlsbad. The City of Carlsbad has a demonstrated commitment to
sustainability and incorporating energy efficiency measures into public projects in an effort to lower the
long term operational costs of city facilities. Firms with design build experience are being solicited to
present proposals for review. Based upon the submitted infonnation, qualified candidates may be
invited to interview as outlined within this document. This RFP does not commit the city to award a
contract, to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of submittals to this request, or to procure or
contract for services or supplies. The city reserves the right to accept or reject any or all submittals
received as a result of this request, to negotiate with any qualified source, or to cancel in part or entirely
the RFP.
ANCP is located at 6565 Alicante Road, the northwest corner ofthe intersection of Poinsettia Lane and
Alicante Road. ANCP features an aquatic center, three baseball fields, a dog park, a skate park,
basketball courts, playgrounds, open space and parking. The aquatic center includes a 56 meter long
competitive pool, a 12-lane instruction pool, a therapy spa and a recreational component with wet play
structures. The aquatic center also includes 13,000 square feet of building space for a mechanical
building, an administration building, locker room facilities, group meeting room, a fitness room and a
concessions kitchen. Other buildings at the park include a maintenance facility, pool equipment
building, a snack bar and three public restrooms. Completion of the park is expected in December
2013.
B. SCOPE OF WORK
This project includes designing, pemnitting, installing and commissioning of solar photovoltaic multi-
crystalline (PV) panels mounted on car shade structures located in the parking lot of the Alga Norte
Community Park Project. The columns for the shade structures will be located in 6 planter areas shown
in Exhibit "A". The shade structure shall extend approximately to the end of the parking stall on each
side of the planter.
Depending on the total size and configuration of the shade canopy mounted solar PV array, eight (8)
existing light poles serving the parking lot areas may need to be removed and stored on the property.
The existing standards may remain (unless they interfere with the shade structure foundations) and the
proposal shall include placing a junction box on top of the standard to connect to the existing lighting
circuits. Using the existing 277v lighting circuits, new LED light fixtures will be provided under the solar
PV panels. New fixtures must be approved by the Design Lighting Consortium (DLC) and/or Energy
Star rated, the city recommends CREE CPY 250 series at 5100k (or equal). The city requires a
minimum lighting level of 0.5fc and an average of 1 .Ofc for the parking area.

Solar PV Design-Builder RFP City of Carlsbad
Alga Norte Community Park
Project No. 39251
The project has 2 meters served by SDG&E. One meter is for outside lighting (OL-2 rate or $0.08/kWh)
and the other for all other electrical loads (ALTOU rate or $0.18/kWh, this rate includes the expected
rate increase from SDG&E). The estimated annual electrical demand for the park is 400,000 kWh for
the ALTOU meter and 225,000 kWh for the OL-2 meter (outside lighting). Given the reduced rate for
the OL-2 meter, the city suggests that only the consumption from the ALTOU meter should be
considered for the solar PV array. The city reserves the right to negotiate with the successful bidder to
extend the solar array to include the OL-2 meter, if the financial analysis is still viable. Exhibit "A"
shows possible locations for parking shade structures. The total area is approximately 50,000 sf. The
actual size and extent of the shade structure should match the size of the array proposed for this
project. The city also reserves the right to negotiate with the successful bidder to evaluate other
photovoltaic technologies, such as mono-crystalline panels, if financially feasible.
Two 3" conduits have been placed from the main electric service room to each planter area, as shown
in Exhibit "A". This work was completed prior to placement of the asphalt parking lot.
To qualify for the California Solar Initiative rebate program, the solar photovoltaic array capacity ratings
must be detennined using the Photovoltaic Utility Scale Applications (PVUSA) Test Conditions (PTC).
All proposers must calculate their rated capacity using the PTC.
Describe any wan'anties associated with the install, including full system coverage and/or warranties
associated with individual components. Detail any additional warranty terms that extend beyond the
standard manufacturer's warranties, if applicable.
Provide a written Perfonnance Guarantee that ensures the performance of the solar array for the
warranty duration.
A shade structure without solar PV panels will be required along the ADA compliant parking areas, as
shown in Exhibit "A". LED lighting will be required for this shade structure. A lighting circuit conduit is
provided to this area. This cost should be included in the proposal, but not in the financial calculation in
Exhibit B.
A soil report for the project is included in Exhibit A and is provided for reference only.
The aesthetics of the solar PV shade canopy system will be a part of the evaluation. Examples of
design build teams' recently completed projects will be evaluated for their compatibility to the local
environment including placement and protection of all inverters. The park currently has shade
structures throughout the property. Polygon Structures is the current provider of these shade stmctures
and represents the level of quality the city would like to have in the solar PV shade stmctures. A photo
of the existing shade stmctures at the park is included in Exhibit A.
The system shall be integrated into the city's SCADA (web based System Control and Data
Acquisition) system software to allow real time production of electricity from the solar PV system. The
data to be provided will include daily, weekly, monthly and yearly energy production, cost savings,
greenhouse gas savings and total capacity efficiency. This cost should be included in the proposal, but
not in the financial calculation in Exhibit B.
The park is currently covered by a SWPP permit. The construction of the solar array will be covered
under this permit. The planned completion ofthe park's construction is December 2013. The
installation ofthe solar array will need to be completed prior to the Facility Opening Date shown in
Section D.
The Proposal must include a detailed description of the Commissioning Services required prior to
starting up the system.
