CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO
EXECUTE AN ELECTRICITY USE AGREEMENT WITH KIEWIT-SHEA II
REGARDING CONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICITY FROM THE ELECTRICAL PANEL AND METER AT TEMPORARY FIRE STATION 7
WHEREAS, the City Council identified as one of its four priority goals for fiscal year 2021-22 to "bring the Fire Department into conformance with the standards of cover evaluation,"; and WHEREAS, on May 11, 2021, .the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-111, approving a work plan to implement its priority goals that identified and detailed the need for Temporary Fire Station 7 west of the railroad tracks, near Carlsbad Boulevard; and WHEREAS, on June 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-150! authorizing the city to enter into a license agreement with Cabrillo Power I LLC, a subsidiary of NRG West Coast LLC, or NRG, to locate Temporary Fire Station 7 on property owned by NRG at 4600 Carlsbad Boulevard; and WHEREAS, the existing electric panel and San Diego Gas and Electric, or SDG&E, meter immediately adjacent to the Temporary Fire Station 7 project will be used to provide electricity to Temporary Fire Station 7; and
WHEREAS, Kiewit-Shea 11, a Joint Venture, or Kiewit-Shea, is currently using the panel and meter to provide electricity for their temporary construction trailers adjacent to the city-licensed Temporary Fire Station 7 property; and
WHEREAS, electricity charges and billing for the SDG&E meter will become the City of Carlsbad's responsibility immediately upon connection of any Temporary Fire Station 7 services lines to the meter; and
WHEREAS, the city wishes to continue to allow Kiewit-Shea to use power from the panel and meter for the duration of their temporary construction activities to limit the amount of trenching, conduit installation and other related construction activity that would occur near Temporary Fire Station 7; and
WHEREAS, the City of Carlsbad and Kiewit-Shea wish to enter into an Electricity Use Agreement that will allow both parties to equitably share the costs of electricity and all related SDG&E charges for the meter during the term of the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Natural Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents, according to the following sections of the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, Guidelines: Section 15301- Existing facilities, (b); 15303 - New construction or conversion of small structures, (c), 15304 - Minor alterations to land, (f).
In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of guidelines do not apply to this project. Specifically: {1) The project is consistent with 15301 (b) because it is located on a developed site with existing parking and utilities, such as gas, sewer, water and electrical amenities; (2) the project is consistent with Section 15303 (c) because the two temporary buildings that would house a maximum of seven staff members and would contain two offices are each less than 2,000 square feet and combined are less than 6,000 square feet and {3) the project is consistent with Section 15304 (f) because there will be minor trenching conducted to connect to existing underground utilities and the surface would be restored. Purchasing modular buildings for implementation is consistent with that determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad; California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
2. That the City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to execute an Electricity Use Agreement with Kiewit-Shea II, a Joint Venture, regarding consumption of electricity from the electrical panel and meter at Temporary Fire Station 7, which is attached hereto as Attachment A.

ELECTRICITY USE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSLBAD AND KIEWIT-SHEA II FOR
USE OF THE ELECTRIC PANEL AT
FIRE STATION NO. 7
Attachment A
This Electricity Use Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between the City of Carlsbad, a municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as "City") and Kiewit-Shea II, a Joint Venture (hereinafter referred to as "Contractor) regarding consumption of electricity as described below.
City and Contractor are hereinafter referred to individually as "Party" and collectively as the "Parties".
RECITALS
A. Cabrillo Power I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ("Cabrillo Power'') owns real property located at 4600 Carlsbad Boulevard in Carlsbad, California 92008 (the "Property").
B. Cabrillo Power currently leases a portion of the property to Poseidon Resources LLC.
C. Poseidon Resources LLC has retained Contractor to temporarily perform various construction-related services on the Property
D. Contractor estimates their construction-related services on the Property will conclude in winter 2023.
E. The City recently executed a License Agreement ("License") with Cabrillo Power whereby the City will locate three temporary structures on a portion of the Property ("Licensed Premises") to serve as a temporary Fire Station ("Fire Station").
F. The City expects construction of the Fire Station to begin sometime in November 2022.
G. The Fire Station will be served by an existing San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E") electrical meter service ("Master Meter") adjacent to the Licensed Premises. A diagram of the Master Meter's location in relation to the proposed Fire Station and Contractor's trailers is attached as Attachment A.
H. Billing for the SDG&E Master Meter is anticipated to transition to the City of Carlsbad immediately before the City connects any service lines to the Master Meter.
I. Contractor's construction operations require access to the Master Meter beginning in September 2022.
J. This Agreement governs the responsibilities and terms between City and Contractor since Contractor desires to install a sub-meter off the Master Meter to measure, and pay for, the amount of electricity Contractor consumes from the Master Meter when City and Contractor's operations coincide on the Licensed Premises.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
I. Project Description (hereinafter referred to as "Project") All charges for electricity that Contractor consumes from the Master Meter after responsibility for the Master Meter transitions to the City will be measured by an electronic sub-meter. The sub meter shall be read monthly by City staff or a city representative on the same day SOG&E reads
the Master Meter so Contractor's electricity usage coincides with the SDG&E billing cycle.
Contractor's electricity bill will be computed by the City, or a city representative, based on the amount of electricity consumed by Contractor according to the sub-meter and on the then current actual cost of electricity charged by SDG&E for the delivery of electricity to the Property.
The rates and charges Contractor will pay the City shall be based on the percentage of kilowatt hours ("kWh") Contractor uses during a given SDG&E billing cycle. For example, if a reading of the sub-meter reveals Contractor uses 40 kWh for a billing cycle, and SDG&E's reading of the Master Meter reveals a total usage of 100 kWh, Contractor shall pay city 40% of the dollar amount of the City's total current electricity charges the SDG&E bill as described below.
II. Responsibilities of the Parties
1. City agrees to:
A. Inspect Contractor's commissioning documents for the sub-meter and visually inspect the sub-meter once Contractor places the sub-meter into service.
B. Read the sub-meter at the end of each SDG&E billing cycle concurrent with SDG&E's reading of the Master Meter.
C. Send an invoice to Contractor for electricity consumed by Contractor within 30 working days following the City's receipt of the SDG&E bill for the Master Meter.
This invoice will include a copy of the City's SDG&E bill for the Master Meter and detail:
• The total dollar cost of electricity incurred by both the City and Contractor • The amount of kWh's Contractor consumed as identified by the most recent reading of the sub-meter ("Sub-Meter Reading")
• The dollar amount Contractor must pay to City. This amount shall be calculated by first expressing the Sub-Meter Reading in terms of a percentage of the total number of kWh's used by both City and Contractor. For example, if the combined number of kWh's used by both City and Contractor is 100 kWh's for a billing cycle, and Contractor's Sub Meter Reading is 20 kwh, Contractors' percentage of electricity use shall be expressed as 20%. Contractor shall then multiply this percentage against the City's "total current charges" for electricity, which amount is the sum of all: (1) total electric charges; (2) taxes and fees on electric charges; and (3) all Clean Energy Alliance or CCA Electric Generation charges. If the "total current charges" for electricity total $200, Contractor would then owe City $40.
D. Read the sub-meter immediately before the City makes any connection to the Master Meter.
E. Read the sub-meter at the conclusion of Contractor's activities on the last day of Contractor's occupation of the Licensed Premises.
F. Generate a ''first" and "final" bill for Contractor which will list the dollar amount of electricity Contractor uses, calculated pursuant to Section II (1)(C), that does not
Ill.
coincide with SDG&E's billing cycle. City will apply payment of the "final bill" from Contractor's deposit, described in Section II (2)(A) below.
G. City will send Contractor any unused balance from the deposit described in Section II (2)(A) below along with the "final bill".
2. Contractor agrees to:
A. Place as a deposit with the City $3,000 or "Deposit". The Deposit represents a sum equivalent to two months of Contractor's estimated average electricity cost.
8. Contractor shall pay to City the dollar amount equivalent to the percentage of kWh it used based on the actual cost of the energy consumed in accordance with Section II (1 )(C) above during the applicable billing cycle.
C. For the first billing cycle when both City and Contractor use the Master Meter, Contractor shall pay a percentage of electricity use based on the amount of electricity Contractor uses, based on the Sub-Meter Reading in accordance with Section 11(1 )(C)
D. Pay each invoice for electricity usage within 30 days' receipt of the invoice.
E. Pay any charge Contractor or City incurs for commencing or terminating electric service via the sub-meter.
F. Pay all costs charged to Contractor by its sub-metering company.
G. Pay all capital and repair costs of the electronic sub-metering equipment if any such costs arise during the term of this Agreement.
H. Install, maintain, and otherwise be responsible for commissioning the accuracy of the sub-meter used to measure the amount of electricity consumed by Contractor.
I. Provide City documents demonstrating the successful commissioning of the sub meter upon request concurrent with the placement of deposit described in subsection A above.
J. Upon completion of the Project, return all sub-metering equipment to the sub metering company.
Deposit Amount
The Deposit amount Contractor shall provide City described in Section 11(2)(A) is based on the electricity usage of other temporary construction-related trailers at the Police & Fire Headquarters and represents the City's best estimate of the cost of two-months' worth of Contractor's electricity usage at the Property.
IV. Governing Law and Venue
The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any action at law or in
equity brought by either of the parties for the purpose of enforcing a right or rights provided for by this Agreement will be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of San Diego, California. The Parties waive all provisions of law providing for a change of venue in these proceedings to any other county.
V. Records Retention and Inspection of Records
The Parties shall have access to and the right to examine, audit, excerpt, copy or transcribe any pertinent records pertaining to the Agreement. All records shall be kept and maintained by City and made available to Contractor.
VI. Indemnity and Hold Harmless

Contractor's duty to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless shall not include any claims or liabilities arising from the sole negligence or sole willful misconduct of the City, its agents, officers or employees.
Contractor further agrees that its duty to defend includes all attorney fees and costs associated with enforcement of this indemnification provision, defense of any claims arising from this Agreement, and, where a conflict of interest exists or may exist between Contractor and City, the reasonable value of attorney fees and costs if City chooses, at its own election, to conduct its own defense or participate in its own defense of any claim related to this Agreement.
