CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL 17 AB# MTG. DEPT. 21.551 3-25-14 PW-PEM AWARD OF DESIGN/BUILD CONTRACT FOR THE ALGA NORTE COMMUNITY PARK PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM, PROJECT NO. 3925 and 3837 DEPT.DIRECTOR CITY ATTY. CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION; Adopt Resolution No. 2014-055 of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad approving the Design/Build contract with Independent Energy Solutions (IES) for a solar photovoltaic system at Alga Norte Community Park, project no. 3925 and 3837. ITEM EXPLANATION; During the design and construction of Alga Norte Community Park, staff identified potential financial and environmental savings by installing a solar photovoltaic system (solar PV) which would help offset the energy consumed by the park. On September 24, 2013, the CaHsbad City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-233 which approved the selection criteria and performance specifications to be used in evaluating request for proposals for the design and construction of the Alga Norte Community Park (ANCP) solar PVPV system. Four companies responded to the requests for proposal. Following the selection criteria approved bythe CaHsbad City Council, a review team consisting of city staff judged the firm of Independent Energy Solutions (IES) to have the proposal that provides the best value meeting the interests ofthe city and the objectives ofthe project. The chart below summarizes the scoring for each firm proposal in ranked order from highest to lowest scores.

The proposed system would include 720 solar PV modules that are expected to generate more than 360,000 kilowatt hours of energy per year. The solar panels would be mounted to shade structures placed in the parking lot ofthe ANCP, which provides an added benefit to the patrons ofthe park. The solar panels have a warranty period of twenty (25) years and an estimated lifespan of thirty (30) years. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Joe Garuba at (760) 434-2893 or Joe.Garuba@caHsbadca.gov FOR CLERK USE COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC • DENIED CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN • CONTINUED • RETURNED TO STAFF • WITHDRAWN • OTHER - SEE MINUTES • AMENDED • REPORT RECEIVED • Page 2 The proposed cost for the project, including design and construction (including the shade structures) is $975,064. The annual maintenance cost is estimated to be $1,500. Based on current electric rates, the energy generated from the project would result in annual savings of $65,000. The value of the savings is expected to increase as retail electricity prices increase during the life ofthe project. The heat and light line item in the operating budget for the Recreation Department will be analyzed during FY 2014-15 and adjusted down if needed to refiect the actual annual energy savings once the project is operational. The city would also use rebates offered by the State of California to help offset the cost of the project and reduce the payback period. These rebates total approximately $208,000 which equates to more than 20% of the project cost. All rebates received back from the project will be deposited in the project fund where the expenses were incurred to partially offset the cost ofthe project. Staff worked with a third party consultant to develop the financial analysis, which includes the available rebates offered by the State of California. This analysis was reviewed by the city's finance department for validation. Table 1 provides a summary ofthe financial model: Table 1 - Summary of Investment Analysis Investment Measures Cost of capital 2.00% Total Initial Investment Costs $975,064 Total CSI Rebates (not discounted) $208,699 Net Present Value in Benefits $2,625,000 Discounted Payback Period (in years) 12 Simple Payback Period (in years) 11 IRR 10,4% Based upon the solar panels having an estimated lifespan of thirty (30) years and a simple payback period for the project calculated at eleven (11) years, staff believes this would be a beneficial project for Alga Norte Community Park. Based upon the review and scoring ofthe proposals submitted, staff recommends awarding the design build contract for the construction of the ANCP Solar Photovoltaic Project to IES in the amount of $975,064. Staff also requests that that Council authorize a project contingency of $50,000, which is 5% of project cost. The total authorization that staff is requesting is $1,025,064. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is requesting that the CaHsbad City Council authorize up to $1,025,064 for the installation of a solar PV system to serve the Alga Norte Park. CaHsbad 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. It is anticipated that the city will receive approximately $208,000 in rebates from the State of California to offset the cost ofthe project.

Note, system energy generation will be measured using the data acquisition system (DAS) installed by IES. Since IES cannot guarantee the weather, energy generation results will be "normalized" to adjust for average daily irradiance (solar radiation), expressed as average kWh/m2/day/month, per PV Watts II (a publicly available energy model developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and for the average daily maximum ambient temperature per day per month measured at the PV array. In the event that system annual energy production is determined to be below the guaranteed levels (during any 12 month period), IES will recommend a course of action, including but not limited to reimbursement to the City of Carlsbad for lost incentives from the state or SDG&E, the repair, cleaning, or addition of more PV modules in order to bring the total system capacity into compliance with the guaranteed performance levels. It will be IES' responsibility to make these changes to the system in a timely fashion, at IES' sole cost and expense. Workmanship Warranty: With regard to workmanship, IES provides a ten (10) year warranty for all installations, starting at the date of installation. This warranty covers any and all actions on the part ofthe installation team that could affect the functioning ofthe PV system as a whole, that are not due to the malfunctioning or failure of the equipment used in the installation. Date of installation is defined as the date of final acceptance. Manufacturer Warranties for major equipment are as follows: Modules: The warranty period for the SunPower module, with respect to power output, is for 25 years with a 5-year workmanship warranty. Inverters: SMA inverters are backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. This limited commercial warranty covers defects in the commercial inverter caused by material or CA Lie.

I reside about 2.5 miles from the beautiful new Alga Norte park with my wife, who works in Carlsbad Village. We heartily endorse the idea -- communicated to us via the Sierra Club -- that the park itself should be powered with solar energy. That plentiful resource can be weU-used at the facility.

I'm writing just to express support for the proposal to add Solar panels to the plans for Alga Norte park. The environmental and health benefits of solar electricity generation are quite significant and well documented, and it makes good long term financial sense as well. I'm actually putting my own money where my mouth is and currently installing a solar system for my home. Thanks for your consideration, H.

Tm sure this will not come as a surprise, however I want to be "on record" for supporting solar electric at Alga Norte. I appreciate your past leadership at decentralizing our water supply via seawater desalination and moving forward with decentralizing our food supply via additional community gardens. Solar electric at Alga Norte will be a good first step toward decentralizing our electric power supply. Fm not going to be able to attend this evening, however Christine Bevilacqua will speak on behalf of the Carlsbad Sustainability Coalition. Thank you for all your efforts!
