File Number: 21-691 <br />For the CAP’s database year of 2005, the City’s measurable municipal operations, which are <br />made up of municipal buildings, fleet, streetlights, water/sewage operations, and municipal <br />waste, constituted less than one percent of San Leandro’s total emissions. The 2021 CAP notes <br />that while this percentage is on the low end of the typical range, and that actions to reduce <br />municipal energy use may have a limited impact on San Leandro’s overall community emissions <br />levels, municipal actions can help reduce operation/maintenance costs, including utility payments, <br />and meet City Council goals by demonstrating leadership that extends beyond the magnitude of <br />emissions actually reduced. As an example, last year’s installation of the 1 MW solar array at the <br />Water Pollution Control Plant is resulting in utility bill savings of approximately 50% (or savings of <br />more than $250,000) annually. <br />ANALYSIS <br />These projects were originally anticipated in 2019, with the City applying to the California Energy <br />Commission for partial funding (through a 1% loan), in addition to utilizing Building Maintenance <br />funds and possibly General Funds. The City received notification from the CEC of the loan <br />approval, pending acceptance by the City Council. However, with the financial uncertainties <br />evident during the first months of the pandemic, this potential work was set aside. <br />Phase III of the City’s on-going energy efficiency work with Climatec represents a combination of <br />improvements identified in the 2016 Citywide assessment that were either of a lower priority, did <br />not meet previous grant/loan requirements for funding, or both, and new opportunities for <br />upgrades resulting from ARPA monies received by the City. This work represents a variety of <br />infrastructure upgrades, including the following (see also Attachment B to this report): <br />Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) <br />·New high efficiency HVAC units with economizers and MERV-13 filters <br />o City Hall <br />o Fire Stations #9-13 <br />o History Museum <br />o Main Library <br />o Manor Branch Library <br />o South Branch Library <br />o Public Safety Building <br />o Public Works Admin Building <br />o San Leandro Family Aquatic Center <br />·New high efficiency chillers and pumps <br />o City Hall <br />o Public Safety Building <br />·New air handling units with MERV-13 filters <br />o City Hall <br />o Public Safety Building <br />·Refurbish duct heaters and condensing units, and include MERV-13 filters <br />o City Hall <br />Building Automation System (BAS) <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/9/2021 <br />20
