NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR RESOLUTION ADOPTING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND APPROVING A PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT WITH W.M. LYLES CO./ANAERGIA FOR THE PROPOSED SOLID WASTE DIVERSION PROJECT Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Government Code section 4217.10 et seq., that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits, on January 23, 2024, for the purpose of presenting certain findings, taking public comment, and considering approval of:
A Resolution adopting the findings and approving a progressive design-build agreement (“DB Agreement”) with W.M. Lyles Co./Anaergia (“DB Team”) to provide the development, design, and implementation of an energy conserving and energy generating Solid Waste Diversion Project (“Project”), which will generate carbonnegative renewable energy through the anaerobic digestion of the City’s recovered organics and biosolids. The City has already worked with the DB Team to develop a feasibility study to outline the potential energy generation, energy savings, scope and cost of the proposed Project as well as support the Government Code 4217.10 et seq. findings to be made as part of the Resolution.
The Resolution will document how the cost to the City to develop, design and construct the Project will be less than the anticipated marginal cost to the City of electrical or other energy that would have been consumed by the City if the improvements contemplated by the Project are not completed and the DB Agreement is not entered into by the City as well as how potential revenues from the energy generated by the Project may be available to fund a portion of the cost of the Project.
