File Number: 17-612 <br />approximately $385,000. <br />The total savings projected by Climatec for the solar PV project is $10+ million over 30 years <br />(expected life expectancy of the solar PV panels). City staff will continue to explore alternative <br />methods to further dry the sludge mechanically onsite, and/or deploy additional technologies to <br />improve the drying efficiency of the remaining drying beds. As a worst-case scenario, the total <br />cost increase for direct hauling sludge over a 15-year period is projected at just over $3 million. <br />Previous Actions <br />·City Council Meeting May 16, 2016 - Installation Agreement and a Measurement and <br />Verification Agreement with Climatec, LLC for Energy and Water Savings Projects with <br />Related Improvements to City Facilities <br />·City Council Meeting May 16, 2016 - Resolution No. 2016-054 <br />Applicable City Policies <br />·General Plan Policy OSC-7.6 Reducing Municipal Greenhouse Gas Emissions. <br />Reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with municipal operations, including those <br />associated with energy use, City vehicles, City recycling and composting operations, and <br />utilities. <br />·Climate Action Plan (CAP) Goal #6.1, “Increase Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy <br />Use in City Facilities” <br />Environmental Review <br />The grant application process included both California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and <br />National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) review of this project, with a determination of <br />exemption. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />This solar installation project will cost $3,918,868, of which $1,995,963 is reimbursable grant <br />monies from the CEC and $1,922,905 is in required City matching funds. The proposed source <br />of funding is the WPCP Unrestricted Fund Balance (593-101). This requires increasing the <br />2017-18 budget for Account 593-51-002 by the same amount. The grant requires that the project <br />be completed by March 2019. <br />Budget Authority <br />The unrestricted fund balance for the WPCP is approximately $25.5M. Fund balance is utilized for <br />proposed WPCP CIP projects, unscheduled mechanical repairs and equipment replacements, <br />and loan repayments for the recently completed $50M renovation project. There is adequate <br />unrestricted fund balance to appropriate $3,918,868 for the proposed solar installation project. <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/13/2017 <br />16
