STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item # 1.1
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: RCEA Board of Directors
FROM: Eileen Verbeck, Interim Executive Director
SUBJECT: Member Teleconference Participation

BACKGROUND
Since emergency Brown Act meeting law changes went into effect in 2020 due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the RCEA Board of Directors, Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and the subcommittees of those bodies met online with no physical, public meeting location.

Governor Newsom signed AB 361 into law in September 2021, which allowed these bodies to continue meeting completely virtually without publishing each member’s participation location while the COVID state of emergency continued and state or local officials recommended social distancing measures or the RCEA Board determined that meeting in person posed health and safety risks.

The COVID-19 State of Emergency ended on February 28, 2023, and RCEA Board and CAC meetings returned to meeting in-person at a physical location, with allowances under existing Brown Act rules or new AB 2449 Brown Act rules should a Board or CAC member need to participate from a remote location for certain reasons. If another state of emergency is declared, these bodies may be able to return to completely remote meetings.

SUMMARY
RCEA Board Directors may attend up to two meetings per year from a remote location without making the location accessible to the public for the following reasons:

1. “Just cause”
a. To provide childcare or caregiving need to a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner;
b. Due to a contagious illness that prevents the member from attending in-person; c. Due to a need related to a physical or mental disability as defined in Government Code sections 12926 and 12926.1 not otherwise accommodated; and d. Due to travel while on official business of the legislative body or another state or local agency.

2. “Emergency circumstance” due to a physical or family medical emergency that prevents the member from attending in person.

If a Board Director would like to attend the meeting remotely due to an emergency circumstance, the Board will take action by majority vote to approve the Director’s remote participation. A vote is not necessary for a request to attend remotely for just cause. A brief 5

Page 2 of 2 ends

description, protecting the Director’s (or Director’s family member’s) medical privacy, needs to be provided in both cases.

The remotely participating Board Director needs to publicly disclose at the meeting before any action (vote) is taken, whether anyone 18 years of age or older is present in the room at the remote location with the Director, and the general nature of the individual’s relationship with the Director.

If the Board Director anticipates needing to participate remotely for more than 2 meetings per year, staff recommends arranging for a publicly and ADA accessible space with visual and audio meeting capabilities from which to participate.

Staff asks to be notified one-week in advance, if possible, of remote meeting attendance so the Director’s publicly and ADA accessible remote meeting address can be published in the agenda, if required per Brown Act open meeting laws.

Current Remote Participation Requests
As of the writing of this staff report, there have been no remote director participation for “just cause” or “emergency circumstances” requests.

RECOMMENDED ACTION (if needed)
Approve teleconference participation request for this meeting by Director pursuant to Brown Act revisions of AB 2449 due to an emergency circumstance to be briefly described. 6 Redwood Coast Energy Authority

OLD CCE BUSINESS

6.1. Energy Risk Management Quarterly Report
TEA’s California Account Director Harr reported that California’s renewable energy and energy storage resource development efforts successfully addressed this summer’s electricity needs so far. As the CPUC determines how the new Slice of Day Resource Adequacy procurement requirement is to be implemented, it appears RCEA may pay for the higher reliability requirements incrementally. The previous cash reserve forecast’s extreme drop has been more evenly redistributed, but still results in a decreased reserve building rate.

The Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant’s retirement has been postponed to 2030 and all California load serving entities (LSEs) are being offered portions of the plant’s carbon free renewable energy credit allocation. LSEs’ customers must help pay for the plant’s operating cost via the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment on their electric bills regardless of whether the LSE accepts these credits. The plant will not increase its energy production.

The directors discussed RCEA’s current prohibition of long-term nuclear procurement, the problem of safe nuclear waste storage, and how the renewable certificates will affect the program’s procurement portfolio, the agency’s bottom line and future nuclear plant development. The directors will discuss accepting the nuclear allocation at their next meeting.

There was no public comment on this item.

M/S: Arroyo, Scafani: Accept Energy Risk Management Quarterly Report and 2024 California Summer Market Conditions Assessment.

The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Ayes: Arroyo, Bauer, Jorgensen, Scafani, Tuttle, Wilson. Noes: None. Absent: Mobley, Myers, Ramos, Schaefer, Abstain: None.

Non-Voting: Woo.

6.2. Feed-In Tariff Redesign
Senior Power Resources Manager Gwynn described RCEA’s feed-in tariff program which offers above-market pricing and a streamlined application and agreement process for developers of local renewable energy projects of up to 1 MW. Of six projects enrolled in the program after the 2019 program launch, only the two North Coast Highway Solar projects remain under contract due to pandemic-driven changes. Staff hope to revive the stalled Hatchery Road projects with the same developers and recognize the need to update FIT program terms to attract new projects. Staff proposed increasing project capacity to up to 5 MW, requiring battery storage pairing and ability to provide resource adequacy for projects larger than 1 MW, and increasing pricing including higher payment for energy delivered during the grid’s peak demand hours.

The directors discussed how waste digester projects may participate in the FIT program.

There was no public comment on this item.

M/S: Jorgensen, Arroyo:

1. Authorize issuance of the redesigned Feed-In Tariff Program with terms and conditions consistent with the revised Tariff Schedule and Power Purchase Agreement.

2. Authorize the Executive Director to approve administrative revisions to the Feed-In Tariff Schedule and Power Purchase Agreement, in consultation with legal counsel in the instance of the power Purchase Agreement, on condition that the revisions do not fundamentally change the terms and conditions of the program or measurably increase risk exposure for RCEA.

The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Ayes: Arroyo, Bauer, Jorgensen, Scafani, Tuttle, Wilson. Noes: None. Absent: Mobley, Myers, Ramos, Schaefer, Abstain: None.

Non-Voting: Woo.

OLD BUSINESS

8.1 Tumbleweed Long Duration Energy Storage Amendment
Power Resources Director Engel described the proposed amendment to the long-duration storage agreement between Rev Renewables and California Community Power, a joint powers authority to which RCEA belongs. The developer requested a price increase due to higher equipment costs and potential tariff changes for batteries manufactured in China.

Under the most negative conditions, RCEA would pay an additional $2.5 million over the contract’s 15-year term. A more likely scenario is that RCEA will pay $1.5 million more over that period. If RCEA chose to leave the contract, the agency would need to find a 9 RCEA August 22, 2024, Board of Directors DRAFT Meeting Minutes

replacement buyer or face paying the contracted price without receiving any long-duration storage development credit.

The directors discussed whether the agency would realize any financial gain from this amendment, and the reason RCEA entered this agreement, which was to comply with the CPUC Mid-Term Reliability procurement mandate. There was no public comment.

M/S: Arroyo, Jorgensen: Authorize RCEA’s continued participation in the Tumbleweed Energy Storage Services Agreement under the terms of the Second Amendment.

The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Ayes: Arroyo, Bauer, Jorgensen, Scafani, Tuttle, Wilson, Woo. Noes: None. Absent: Mobley, Myers, Ramos, Schaefer, Abstain:

None.

STAFF REPORTS

10.1 Interim Executive Director’s Report (Information only) Interim Executive Director Verbeck reported that the Fairhaven battery storage resource adequacy contract was terminated after CAISO informed the project developer that its grid interconnection would be delayed several years due to prolonged inactivity of the biomass plant that previously made use of the site’s grid connection. RCEA and Swell terminated the behind-the-meter battery storage partnership and Swell no longer supports Humboldt County Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) participants. Another company may step in to offer SGIP services. The Humboldt County Regional Climate Action Plan is ready for public comment. A public meeting will be held on September 10. The Department of Energy will negotiate the Tribal Energy Resilience and Sovereignty grant award agreement prior to a potential administration change. Ms. Verbeck shared photos of workers installing photovoltaic panels at the Sandrini solar project site. A CPUC Administrative Law Judge issued a proposed decision to split the Rural Regional Energy Network into distinct North and Central Regional Energy Networks (RENs), with RCEA to lead the Rural REN North. The proposed Rural REN North funding was $33.1 million over three years, slightly more than requested in the group’s petition. After the comment period ends on September 10, and a reply period, the CPUC could vote on the project as early as September 26. There was no public comment on this item.

CLOSED SESSION

12.1 Public Employment, pursuant to Government Code Section 54957: Executive Director recruitment.

There was no public comment on the closed session agenda item. The Directors convened in closed session at 5:03 p.m. and reconvened in open session at 6:09 p.m. Vice Chair Bauer stated there was no closed session report and adjourned the meeting at 6:10 p.m.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item # 4.4
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: Board of Directors
PREPARED BY: Jocelyn Gwynn, Senior Power Resources Manager SUBJECT: 2023 Power Source Disclosure Attestation

BACKGROUND
Each year, the Board is presented with RCEA’s power mix from the previous year that was submitted to the California Energy Commission (CEC) as part of the Power Source Disclosure (PSD) Program.

Staff submitted the 2023 PSD Report (Exhibit I to Attachment A) to the CEC by the due date. The report shows RCEA’s annual energy purchases from each generating facility from last year, and percentages of each resource type in the REpower and REpower+ products. Additionally, the PSD includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of each product.

Staff will soon prepare the 2023 Power Content Label (PCL) that is to be mailed out to all current RCEA customers and submitted to the CEC this fall. The PCL includes information from the PSD Report and compares RCEA’s power content and GHG emissions to the state’s overall mix and emissions. The CEC is delayed in issuing the PCL template this year, so RCEA expects the mailers won’t go out until Q4.

SUMMARY
Staff ask that the Board adopt a resolution formally approving and attesting to the information in the 2023 PSD Report as part of the documentation required by the CEC for compliance with the PSD Program.

RCEA’s 2023 REpower power mix was about 30% renewable, 65% carbon-free large hydro, and 5% unspecified sources. In comparison, RCEA’s 2022 REpower power mix was 50% renewable, 45% carbon-free large hydro, and 5% unspecified sources. The 2023 renewable and carbon-free levels fall short of RCEA’s 2022 levels due to short-term financial challenges and delays in long-term renewable energy projects under contract coming online. However, the final 2023 numbers are better than what staff had projected in discussion with the Board earlier this year (28% renewable, 64% carbon-free, and 8% unspecified sources).

The state’s mix of renewables was 35.8% in 2022, with 2023 still being calculated. RCEA’s 2023 REpower+ 100% renewable power mix consisted of 33% solar, 33% wind, and 33% small hydro power.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-10

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OF THE REDWOOD COAST ENERGY AUTHORITY

APPROVING AND ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY
OF THE 2023 POWER SOURCE DISCLOSURE REPORT
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1305 was adopted in 1997, establishing an Electricity Generation Source Disclosure (also known as Power Source Disclosure or “PSD”) Program, which requires retail suppliers of electricity to annually submit a PSD Report to the California Energy Commission (“CEC”) and to annually mail a Power Content Label (“PCL”) to their electricity customers; and WHEREAS, Redwood Coast Energy Authority (“RCEA”) is a retail supplier of electricity as defined by the PSD Program (Ca. Code of Regs., Title 20, Section 1391(r)); and WHEREAS, the PSD Regulation requiring an annual audit by an outside certified public accountant of the information in the annual PSD Report, was updated effective May 4, 2020, with an exemption from this requirement for retail suppliers that are public agencies providing electric services, provided that the governing body of the public agency approves at a public meeting the submission to the CEC of an attestation of the veracity of the annual report for each electricity product; and WHEREAS, RCEA is a public agency providing electric services; and WHEREAS, the CEC exemption therefore allows the RCEA Board of Directors to approve an attestation of the veracity of RCEA’s 2023 PSD Annual Report provided hereto as Exhibit A.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority resolves as follows:

1. The 2023 Power Source Disclosure Report provided as Exhibit A is hereby approved; and

2. The Board of Directors hereby attests to the veracity of the information presented in the 2023 Power Source Disclosure Report.

Adopted this 26th day of September 2024.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #4.5
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: Board of Directors
PREPARED BY: Lori Biondini, Director Business Planning and Finance SUBJECT: Procurement Policy, Investment Policy and Financial Management Policy Update

SUMMARY
Staff has been working closely with RCEA General Counsel on drafting two new financially related policies for RCEA. Staff referenced applicable California government codes provided by General Counsel in addition to best practices of other Joint Powers Authorities and Community Choice Aggregators when writing and settling on the attached versions.

The first is a Procurement Policy to provide guidelines for purchasing activities, including soliciting and contracting. The policy designates a Purchasing Agent for RCEA and sets the Agent’s spending authority at $50,000 per individual vendor/contractor, per year. The policy also describes standards of conduct, authorized procurement methods, and public contracting procedures. The policy also states a preference for environmentally beneficial and local purchasing, with definitions.

The second is an Investment Policy to provide guidelines for the management of RCEA funds, including cash, deposits and investments. The policy describes investment objectives, standard of care and authority for management of funds, and lists the authorized investments that Staff is recommending. Within the investments permitted by California Government Code, staff chose a narrowed list to include in this policy based on the likelihood of such investments being made, but the list can be expanded in the future through a policy update, if needed.

The Board adopted a Financial Management Policy in June 2017, and subsequent updates in December 2021, which defines financial responsibilities, including authorizing the Executive Director’s spending authority at $20,000 per vendor/contractor, per year. If the Procurement Policy is adopted as presented, the Financial Management Policy should be updated to reflect the increase of ED spending authority to $50,000.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Adopt Resolution 2024-11 adopting a Procurement Policy, Investment Policy and amending the Financial Management Policy.

2.0 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR PURCHASING AND PROCUREMENT ACTIVITIES3

2.1 Policy Statement. It is RCEA’s policy to promote government integrity and guard against the actual and appearance of impropriety by prescribing the following standards of ethical conduct for all procurement and purchasing activities. All employees shall adhere to following standards of conduct when engaged in any procurement activities.

2.1.1 Employees shall discharge their duties impartially so as to assure fair competitive access to governmental procurement by responsible contractors and to foster public confidence in the integrity of RCEA’s procurement system.

2.1.2 Employees shall not solicit, demand, accept or agree to accept a gratuity, an offer of employment or any other benefit in connection with any decision, approval, disapproval, recommendation, or preparation of any part of a program requirement, specification, standard, solicitation or contract.

2.1.3 Employees shall not participate directly or indirectly in a procurement when the employee knows that:
• The employee or any member of the employee's immediate family has a personal financial interest pertaining to the procurement; • A business or organization in which the employee, or any member of the employee's immediate family, has a personal financial interest pertaining to the procurement; or
• Any other person, business or organization with which the employee or any member of the employee's immediate family is negotiating or has an arrangement concerning employment is involved in the procurement. 3 Government Code §§4525 et seq., 4529.10 et seq.
36 Procurement Policy, 2024

Page 3 ends

2.2 Discovery of an Actual or Potential Conflict of Interest. Upon discovery of an actual or potential conflict of interest, an employee shall promptly withdraw from further participation in the transaction involved and notify their immediate supervisor. The supervisor will consult with their director (or in the case of an actual or potential conflict of the Executive Director, with RCEA General Counsel) to determine whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists and the appropriate mitigation if necessary. If there is a possibility that participation would create an appearance of conflict but not an actual or potential conflict, the Director shall consult with the Executive Director and General Counsel for direction on how to mitigate such appearance of conflict. In the case of an appearance of a conflict of interest by the Executive Director, the Executive Director shall consult with the Chair of the Board of Directors and General Counsel for direction on how to mitigate such appearance of conflict.

2.3 Discipline for Violation. The violation of any of these Standards will subject the violator to disciplinary action deemed appropriate by the Executive Director, up to and including dismissal.

2.4 Supplier, Contractor Ethics

2.4.1 It shall be a violation of ethical standards for any third party to offer, give, or agree to give any RCEA employee a gratuity, an offer of employment or any other benefit in connection with any RCEA decision, approval, disapproval, recommendation, specification, standard, solicitation or contract.

2.4.2 It shall be a violation of ethical standards for any person or firm to present false documents to RCEA or falsely represent its firm.

2.4.3 Suppliers and contractors shall exercise reasonable care and diligence to prevent any actions or conditions that could result in a conflict with RCEA’s best interests. This obligation shall apply to suppliers’ and contractors’ employees, agents, subcontractors, and third parties associated with accomplishing work for RCEA.

2.4.4 A violation of Supplier, Contractor Ethics may result in disqualification of the third party, or other parties involved in the conduct, from consideration of any procurement awards.

2.4.5 Any prospective contractor who develops or drafts specifications, requirements, statements of work, or other documents relevant to a particular procurement is excluded from competing for such procurements.

2.5 Personal Purchases. RCEA employees shall not make personal purchases, or cause them to be made, through RCEA's procurement system unless such purchases have been authorized by the Board as a special program available to all RCEA employees.

3.0 PROCUREMENT METHODS

3.1 Competitive Procurement. It is RCEA’s responsibility to make appropriate use of public and rate-payer funds and promote transparency through the use of open and full competition to the maximum extent possible. Contracts for the purchase of goods and services shall be awarded as the result of a competitive process, except as otherwise 37 Procurement Policy, 2024

Page 4 ends

provided for in this policy or by law. Purchases shall not be artificially divided to circumvent any competitive bidding requirement. In addition, no department or employee shall draft or cause to be drafted any specifications in such a manner as to limit the bidding directly or indirectly to any one specific vendor or any specific brand, product, thing, or service, except for those items that are standardized for a particular purpose, are approved as exempt from competitive bidding requirements, or are approved as sole source purchases.

3.1.1 Dollar Thresholds for Purchases The following thresholds apply to procurement activities for the purchase of any goods or services required by RCEA departments where a competitive process is required, except for public projects:
• Mid-Sized Purchases. Purchases of supplies or equipment where the amount is more than $4,000 but not expected to exceed $10,000 require at least three quotes. Acceptance of a quote that is not the lowest cost is permissible when supported with written justification that the supplier provides best value for RCEA based on specified reasons such as time constraints, past performance, or quality. If only one quote is obtained after reasonable efforts to obtain more, the Department Director will consider whether a Sole Source justification exists and if not whether additional solicitation efforts would result in additional quotes.
• Large Purchases. Purchases of supplies or equipment where the amount is expected to equal or exceed $10,000, but not exceed the spending limit of the Executive Director, must be supported by at least three quotes and approved by the Executive Director. If only two or fewer price quotations are obtained after reasonable efforts, the Executive Director may proceed to award the contract.
• Formal Solicitations
Purchases of goods or services with an estimated total cost of more than $50,000 shall be made in accordance with the applicable procedures for competitive sealed solicitations, included but not limited to Invitations for Bids, Requests for Proposals, Requests for Qualifications, Requests for Information and any other formal solicitation method.

3.2 Energy Procurement. RCEA must secure sufficient power resources and energy attributes to serve its customers, comply with State law and meet RCEA’s goals. The Executive Director is authorized to enter into agreements in accordance with the RCEA Board-approved Energy Risk Management Policy. Procurement of and contracts for energy (sometimes referred to as Power Purchase Agreements or PPAs) or for energy related products shall be subject to the requirements, approvals, and signing authorities set out in the Energy Risk Management Policy.

3.3 Piggyback or Cooperative Purchasing4. Supplies, goods, information technology and services may be procured without convening a competitive procurement process if the supplier has been awarded contracts by the state or other local agencies for the purchase of such supplies or services under a competitive process. RCEA may contract directly with the vender without additional process if: 1) the prices paid are competitive with comparable products offered in the marketplace, 2) the original procurement was in compliance with the procurement requirements for the originally procuring entity, and 3) the conflict-of-interest provisions of this Policy are adhered to. 4 Public Contract Code §§ 10298 – 10299
38 Procurement Policy, 2024

Page 5 ends

3.4 Contracts for Certain Professional Services

3.4.1 Professional Services5. Professional services require extended analysis, the exercise of discretion, and independent judgment in the performance and/or application of an advanced, specialized type of knowledge, expertise, or training, which is customarily acquired either by a prolonged course of study or equivalent experience in the field. Examples include licensed professionals such as attorneys, accountants, design professionals, and real estate brokers, as well as non-licensed professionals such as software developers, financial, security professionals and other consultants. Such contracts may be awarded only on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications necessary for the type of services required, and at a fair and reasonable price.

3.4.1.1 Design and Engineering Professionals6. Architectural, design and engineering professionals must specifically be procured in a fair and competitive process that prohibits RCEA employees from participating in the selection process when the employee has a financial or business relationship with any private entity seeking the contract.

3.5 Single and Sole Source Purchases and Contracting.

Single and sole source procurement is generally not permitted except under circumstances specifically identified in this Policy. All single and sole source purchases must be justified in writing, with review and approval by the Executive Director when within the spending limits authorized for the Executive Director, and otherwise by the Governing Board of Directors.

3.5.1 Single Source Procurement Defined. There may be more than one possible source, yet there is a strong compelling reason to only use one specific vendor.

Examples of acceptable rationale for single sourcing could be agency standardization or vendor ability to meet time constraints. Repeat business with a vendor or contractor is not justification for a single source.

3.5.2 Sole Source Procurement Defined. Purchases are directed to one source because there is only one particular vendor able to fulfill the procurement need.

This may be based upon a lack of competition, copyright or proprietary issues, or a supplier’s unique capability.

3.6 Exempt Purchasing. The Board of Directors hereby provides that the following transactions are exempt from the above purchasing and procurement authority limits, provided that such expenditures are consistent with the budget adopted by the Board:

3.6.1 Utilities, where there is no reasonable basis for competitive procurement

3.6.2 Renewal policies for insurance benefits already approved.

3.7 Emergency Purchases7. In the case of an emergency, the Executive Director is authorized to take action to repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies for those purposes without giving notice for bids to 5 Government Code §§4525 et seq., 31000, 53060
6 Government Code §4529.10 et seq.
7 Public Contract Code §§1102, 22050
39 Procurement Policy, 2024

Page 6 ends

let contracts. The Executive Director may contact one or more suppliers by telephone or electronically, and, as expeditiously as possible, determine the best price and quality of product or services available from the supplier(s).

3.7.1 For purposes of this Policy, “emergency” means a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate attention to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services including the provision of energy or power to RCEA customers. Before taking action, the Executive Director shall make a finding, based on substantial evidence that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation and that the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.

3.7.2 The Executive Director shall Report to the Board of the Directors at its next meeting the reasons why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.

3.7.3 The meeting which the Executive Director shall report to the Board must be not later than seven days after the action, or at the Board of Director’s next regularly scheduled meeting if that meeting is not later than 14 days after the action.

Thereafter, the Executive Director shall report to the Board of Directors at least at every regularly scheduled meeting until the action is terminated.

3.7.4 The Board of Directors will review the Executive Director’s report and determine by four-fifths vote whether there is need to continue the action.

3.7.5 The Board of Directors shall terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed by giving notice for bids to let contracts.

4.0 PUBLIC PROJECTS CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

4.1 Public Projects, Defined and Applicability8. A “public project” means a project for the erection, improvement, painting and repair of public buildings and works. The bidding procedures contained in this Policy must be used for all public projects.

4.2 Prevailing Wage12. Prevailing wage requirements will apply to, and prevailing wages must be paid on, any “public works” project with total cost in excess of $1,000. For purposes of prevailing wage requirements, “public works” means the “construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of public funds, including work done during preconstruction design, site assessment, tree removal, and feasibility study.”

4.3 Public Projects Bidding Procedures

4.3.1 Informal Bidding Procedures (Small and Mid-Sized Projects up to $10,000)13.

The following procedures must be followed when using an informal bidding process for small and mid-sized public projects:
• Registering Contractors. Prior to initiating an informal bidding process for a specific public project, RCEA must register contractors in Humboldt County by publishing notice of the opportunity to register with RCEA to be subsequently notified of informal public project bidding opportunities. The list of such contractors is a public record.
• Notice Inviting Bids14. Notice inviting bids for a specific small to mid-sized public project must be published at least one time in a newspaper of general circulation at least 24 hours prior to the time for opening bids. The Notice must describe the project in general terms and state the closing date for submission of bids. In RCEA’s discretion, the notice may also be published in any trade publication and/or mailed directly to the contractors registered with RCEA.

4.3.2 Formal Bidding Procedures (Large Public Projects $10,000 and Greater)

15. The
following procedures must be followed when using formal bidding process for public projects in excess of $10,000:
• Notice Inviting Bids. Notice inviting formal bids for a specific public project must be published at least 10 days before the date for opening bids, and must be published at least twice, not less than 5 days apart, in a newspaper of general circulation. The notice must describe the project in general terms 11 Public Contract Code §§ 20121, 20150.1
12 Labor Code §§1720, 1771
13 Public Contract Code §§20150.4 - 20150.7

Page 8 ends

and state the closing date for submission of bids. In RCEA’s discretion, the notice may also be published in any trade publication.
• Project Plan Adoption. The RCEA Board of Directors must adopt the plans, specifications and working details for all public projects expected to exceed $10,000.
• Contract Award. Contract awards shall be made by the Board of Directors to the lowest responsible bidder.

4.3.3 No Bid Splitting16. RCEA is committed to a program of purchasing competitively and wisely from responsible parties that are properly suited to the job intended, both as to price and quality. Purchase requisitions may not be artificially divided or split to circumvent any competitive bidding requirement. In addition, specifications may not be drafted in such a manner as to limit the bidding directly or indirectly to any one specific concern, or any specific brand, product, thing, or service. Certain items are approved as exempt from competitive bidding requirements or are approved as sole source purchases as provided for under this Policy.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE PURCHASING
RCEA’s goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by its operations whenever practicable. In this endeavor, terms and conditions of all solicitations shall encourage, whenever possible, services and products that are proven to be beneficial to the environment. Except when otherwise prohibited, whenever RCEA acquires services and/or supplies by purchase or contract, the Purchasing Agent, in evaluating the price or bid of shall award a fifteen percent preference on the price submitted involving the following environmentally beneficial attributes:
• Recycled Content: recycled product includes all non-hazardous materials, goods, and supplies and must contain at least 50 percent by weight secondary and/or postconsumer material, with at least 10 percent being post-consumer recycled product shall include any product which could have been disposed of as solid waste at the completion of its life cycle as a consumer item, but which otherwise is refurbished for reuse without substantial alteration of its form.
• Greener Products and Services: products that meet the standards and have ecolabels/certifications in their respective category (e.g. Energy Star for electronics) per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Recommendations of Specifications, Standards and Ecolabels.

6.0 HUMBOLDT COUNTY PREFERNCE
In recognition of the economic benefits provided by business located within RCEA’s jurisdiction, a local preference credit of 5%, for Humboldt County businesses shall be permitted when evaluating competitive solicitations for supplies, equipment, materials and services that are not part of a public project. A Humboldt County business is defined as 1) conducting business in an office with a physical location within the County of Humboldt; and 2) holding a valid business license issued by the County of Humboldt or any City within the County. The Purchase Agent’s determination regarding a business’ local preference credit shall be final.

7.0 SURPLUS PROPERTY DISPOSAL17
The term surplus property shall mean any property other than real property that is no longer needed or useable by RCEA. Any item of surplus property of an estimated value of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or less may be declared surplus to RCEA needs by the Purchasing Agent. Any other item may be declared surplus by the Board of Directors.

7.1 Surplus Property Disposal Procedures. The Purchasing Agent is responsible for the disposition of all declared surplus property. The Purchasing Agent shall determine which of the following methods of disposition to use; the priority for disposition shall be in the order listed below:

7.1.1 Trade In. Surplus property may be offered as a trade-in for credit toward the acquisition of new property. All trade-in offers will be submitted for the review and approval of the Purchasing Agent.

7.1.2 Return to Manufacturer. Surplus property may, when possible, be returned to the manufacturer for buy-back or credit toward the purchase of new property.

7.1.3 Sale. Surplus property may be offered for sale. All surplus property is for sale “as-is” and “where-is” with no warranty, guarantee, or representation of any kind, expressed or implied, as to the condition, utility, or usability of the property offered for sale. Proceeds received from the sale of surplus property shall be paid into the RCEA treasury. Appropriate methods for sale are as follows:
• Public Auction: A public auction must convey surplus property to the highest bidder, for cash. A public auction sale or lease may be made at such place as the Board approves by vote. Notice of the sale or lease shall be given for five days prior thereto either by publication in a newspaper published in the county or by posting in three public places in the county. If the property does not exceed in value the sum of five hundred dollars ($500), or the monthly rental value thereof is less than seventy-five dollars ($75), it may be sold or leased at private sale without advertising authorized by a majority vote of the Board.
• Sealed Bids: Sealed bids may be solicited for the sale of surplus property.

Surplus property disposed of in this manner shall be sold to the highest responsive bidder.
• Selling for Scrap: Surplus property with a minimal fair market value may be sold as scrap.

7.1.4 Donation or Disposal. If RCEA is unable to sell surplus property after using the methods provided in sections above, or if the cost of locating a buyer exceeds the estimated sale price of surplus property, the property may be donated to another public agency, educational institution, or registered non-profit entity under 501(c)(3) upon written request and determination that it is in the public interest to do so.

44 REDWOOD COAST ENERGY AUTHORITY

INVESTMENT POLICY

1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Investment Policy is to provide objectives and guidelines to Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA) officers and employees for the management of cash, deposits and investments (together, “funds”) at RCEA. This Policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of RCEA, as set forth in the California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq.

2.0 OBJECTIVES
When managing funds, RCEA’s primary objectives, in order of importance, shall be to safeguard the principal of the funds, meet the liquidity needs of RCEA, and achieve a return on investment on funds in RCEA’s control.
• Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of cash and investment management activities. The investment of funds shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of principal.
• Liquidity. The funds shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating needs that may be reasonably anticipated. Since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the investment of funds in deposits or instruments available on demand is recommended. • Return on Investment. The deposit and investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining market rate of return throughout the economic cycle while considering risk and liquidity constraints. The return on deposits and investments is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above.

3.0 STANDARD OF CARE
RCEA will manage funds in accordance with the Prudent Investor Standard1.

4.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY2
The responsibility to manage funds is delegated to the Treasurer of RCEA. The Treasurer may appoint Deputy Treasurers as the Treasurer deems necessary and convenient for the prompt and faithful discharge of its duties to invest and reinvest the funds of RCEA. 1 Government Code §53600.3.1: “Governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.

Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
2 Government Code §53607
45 Investment Policy, 2024
RCEA may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of RCEA’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with this Policy. External investment advisers may also be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Policy. The Treasurer will review this Policy annually and any changes will be submitted to the RCEA Board of Directors for approval.

5.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust. The investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation and thus all involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and investment officials shall disclose to RCEA’s General Counsel or designee any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of RCEA. Employees and officers shall not accept honoraria, gifts, and gratuities from advisors, brokers, dealers, bankers, or other person with whom RCEA conducts business.

6.0 AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS3
Within the investments permitted by code, RCEA seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this Policy and code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits and minimum credit quality requirements listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.

6.1 Deposits at Bank(s)4. Funds may be invested in non-interest-bearing depository accounts to meet RCEA’s operating and collateral needs. Funds not needed for these purposes may be invested in interest bearing depository accounts or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured certificates of deposit with maturities not to exceed five years. Banks must collateralize RCEA deposits beyond the FDIC insured amount. Banks eligible to receive deposits must be federally or state chartered and have a rating of not less than “satisfactory” in its most recent evaluation by the appropriate federal financial supervisory authority. The Treasurer will monitor the credit quality of eligible banks to ensure the safety of RCEA deposits. 3 Government Code §§53600 et seq.
4 Government Code §53635.2
46 Investment Policy, 2024

6.2 Money Market Funds5. Funds may be invested in money market funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

6.3 Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)6. Funds may be invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund. The LAIF was established by the California State Treasurer for the benefit of local agencies.

6.4 California Joint Power Authority (JPA) Investment Pools7. Funds may be invested in JPAs, such as the California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (CA CLASS), and CalTRUST, that offer pooled investment options.

6.5 US Treasury Obligations. Funds may be directly invested in United States Treasury obligations and other government obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest with a term to maturity not exceeding five (5) years. There are not limits on the dollar amount or percentage that RCEA may invest in U.S. Treasuries.

6.6 Federal Agency Securities. Funds may be directly invested in Federal Agency Securities or United States Government-Sponsored Enterprise obligations, participations, or other instruments, including those issued by or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by federal agencies or United States government-sponsored enterprises. There are no limits on the dollar amount or percentage that RCEA may invest in Federal Agency or Government-Sponsored Enterprises with a term to maturity not exceeding five (5) years. No more than 10% of the portfolio may be invested in any single Agency/Enterprise, and the maximum percent of Agency callable securities in the portfolio shall be 10%. Federal agency and GSE obligations must be rated in a rating category of AA or equivalent or better.

6.7 Municipal Securities Funds may be directly invested in municipal securities including obligations of RCEA, the State of California and any local agency within the State of California, provided that:
• The securities are rated in a minimum rating category of “A+” or its equivalent or better by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization. • No more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in any single issuer. • No more than 20% of the portfolio may be in Municipal Securities. • The maximum maturity does not exceed five (5) years.

6 Government Code §§16429 et seq.
7 Government Code §6500
47 Investment Policy, 2024

7.0 MANAGEMENT OF INVESTMENTS

7.1 Prohibited Transactions.
8 RCEA shall not invest funds in any security that could result in a zero-interest accrual, or less, if held to maturity. The purchase of foreign currency denominated securities is prohibited. Trading securities for the sole purpose of speculating on the future direction of interest rates is prohibited. Purchasing or selling securities on margin is prohibited. The use of reverse re-purchase agreements, securities lending or any other form of borrowing or leverage is prohibited.

7.2 Portfolio Management. The term to maturity of any funds invested as measured from settlement date to maturity date shall not exceed five (5) years. The Treasurer will allocate funds among authorized investments consistent with the objectives and standards of care outlined in this Policy.

7.3 Due Diligence. Prior to the purchase of an investment the persons authorized to make the investments shall assess the market and market prices using information obtained from available sources including investment services, brokers/dealers, and the media.

7.4 Brokers. To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of RCEA, except where RCEA utilizes an external investment adviser in which case RCEA may rely on the adviser for selection. Institutions eligible to transact investment business with RCEA include:
• Those licensed by the state as a broker-dealer.
• Members of a federally regulated securities exchange. • Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers. • Nationally or state-chartered banks.
• The Federal Reserve Bank.
• Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by RCEA will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with brokers/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts shall be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
8 Government Code §53601.6
48 Investment Policy, 2024
The Treasurer shall be prohibited from selecting any broker, brokerage firm, or securities firm that has, within any 48-month consecutive period following January 1, 1996, made a political contribution in an amount exceeding the limitations contained in Rule G-37 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board to any member of the RCEA Board, or any candidate for those offices. The brokers/dealers shall be provided with an acknowledge receipt of this Policy.

7.5 Losses. Losses are acceptable on a sale before maturity and may be taken if required to meet the liquidity needs of RCEA or if the reinvestment proceeds will earn an income flow with a present value higher than the present value of the income flow that would have been generated by the original investment, considering any investment loss or foregoing interest on the original investment.

7.6 Delivery and Safekeeping. The delivery and safekeeping of all securities shall be made through a third-party custodian when practical and cost effective as determined by the Treasurer and in accordance with Section 53608. The Finance Manager shall review all transaction confirmations for conformity with the original transaction.

7.7 Risk Management and Diversification.

7.7.1 Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. RCEA will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy. • RCEA may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or RCEA’s risk preferences. • If a security owned by RCEA is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Treasurer in a timely manner.
• If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the RCEA Board.

7.7.2 Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. RCEA recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. RCEA will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
49 Investment Policy, 2024
RCEA further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. RCEA, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• RCEA will maintain a minimum of $15 million in cash and overnight investments at all times to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. • The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by RCEA based on RCEA’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.

8.0 AUDITS
RCEA’s funds shall be subject to a process of independent review by its external auditors.

RCEA’s external auditors shall review the investment portfolio in connection with the annual audit for compliance with the Investment Policy. The results of the audit shall be reported to the RCEA Board of Directors.

9.0 REPORTS

9.1 Monthly: The Treasurer will perform a monthly review of the investment function and shall submit a monthly report of all investment transactions to the Board of Directors.

Investment transactions are defined as the purchase, sale or exchange of securities.

9.2 Annually: The Treasurer will submit an annual report to the Board of Directors and Executive Director within 45 days of the end of a fiscal year providing the following:

9.2.1 A list identifying the type of investment, issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all securities, the market value and source of the market value information; A statement that the portfolio is in compliance with the Investment Policy and in accordance with Government Code Section 53646 or the manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance; and

9.2.2 A statement of RCEA’s ability to meet expenditure requirements for the upcoming 12 months.

Unless otherwise directed by the Board, the Executive Director will present a preliminary draft budget to the Board of Directors and the public at the regularly scheduled May Board of Directors meeting. The final proposed budget will be presented to the Board at its regularly scheduled June business meeting.

The Board may choose to hold additional public hearings or study sessions prior to the June business meeting as it sees fit.

Power procurement not included in the authorized transaction types listed in the ERMP, or wholesale power transactions that fall outside of the delegations outlined in the ERMP will be purchased under this policy (e.g. local renewable energy purchase agreements, or transactions exceeding the approved limits).

10. Operating Reserves
During the first 12 months of CCE operations, RCEA will deposit funds in a reserve account such that at least $5 million is in the account at the end of the first 12 months, and maintain such amount thereafter. The reserve requirement shall be funded from program revenue available after fully funding the aggregate of operating expenses in RCEA’s approved budget. After the first 12 months of power procurement, the reserve account will continue to serve as credit support for RCEA power transactions through its contracted Power Manager. The amount in the fund shall be equal or greater than the credit exposure as calculated by the Power Manger on an annual basis.

In the first 12 months of CCE operations RCEA will also establish a minimum operating balance of $1 million in RCEA’s CCE operating account.

In addition to the minimum reserve requirement, the RCEA Board may set additional reserve targets or requirements as it deems appropriate.

11. Bad Debt or Uncollectable Accounts
RCEA shall include in its annual budget a reserve for bad debt or uncollectable accounts. This budgetary reserve will be calculated by the Director of Business Planning and Finance in coordination with RCEA’s contracted Power Manager. On an annual basis, if actual collections experience so indicates, the bad debt reserve shall be modified appropriately. 54

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item # 4.6
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: Board of Directors
PREPARED BY: Jocelyn Gwynn, Senior Power Resources Manager SUBJECT: UC Resource Adequacy Agreement Amendment

BACKGROUND
In 2020, the Board approved a 10-year Resource Adequacy (RA) Agreement with the University of California Regents (UC) for resale of a small portion of Sandrini Sol 1’s RA capacity. The agreement helped UC achieve compliance with the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) first procurement mandate under Decision 19-11-016.

Since then, Sandrini has faced numerous delays, the CPUC has adopted a new RA framework, and RCEA and the project developer have executed a contract for co-located energy storage at the Sandrini site. All these developments warrant an amendment to the RA Agreement between RCEA and UC.

SUMMARY
Staff asks the Board to approve an amendment that would make the following substantive changes to the UC RA Agreement.
• Names a second unit from which RCEA will supply RA, the Sandrini Battery Energy Storage System. The storage facility is expected to begin operation approximately one year after Sandrini solar begins operation, at which point the RA will switch from the solar to the storage.
• Incorporates relevant changes to maintain a commensurate contract amount under the new Slice of Day (SOD) RA framework. Under SOD, different technology types receive different RA value, which means the agreement needs different methods to quantify contract amounts when RA is supplied from the solar facility versus the storage facility.

Under the original agreement, the contract amount is 0.6 MW. Under the amendment, the contract amount would be 2.2% of the total RA capacity from the solar facility. The contract amount reverts to 0.6 MW from the storage facility once it is online. • Updates the commercial operation date (COD) milestone and retains the initial COD for compliance purposes.
55

ALIGNMENT WITH RCEA’S STRATEGIC PLAN
Not applicable, this is a contract for grid reliability compliance.

EQUITY IMPACTS
Not applicable, this is a contract for grid reliability compliance.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Relative to the original contract, staff expect some marginal savings under this amendment in the first contract year while the RA is supplied to UC from Sandrini solar. This is due to the change in how the contract amount is quantified and because solar is now worth less in terms of RA than when the contract was executed. The exact amount of savings is uncertain since we do not know exactly how much RA Sandrini solar will be able to deliver. However, once Sandrini storage is operational and for the remaining nine years of the delivery term, no financial impacts are expected relative to the original contract, because the battery storage will provide the same amount of RA each month.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 2024-12 Approving the Form of and Authorizing the Execution of the First Amendment to the Resource Adequacy Agreement with the Regents of the University of California.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item # 4.7
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: Board of Directors
PREPARED BY: Jocelyn Gwynn, Senior Power Resources Manager SUBJECT: North Coast Highway Solar Feed-In Tariff PPA Amendments

BACKGROUND
In Q2 2020, the Board approved Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with the North Coast Highway Solar (NCHS) 1 and 2 Feed-In Tariff (FIT) projects, being developed in Hydesville. The projects were originally contracted with a commercial operation date (COD) of November 2021 but have experienced a number of delays including change in ownership of the projects, permitting, site control and access, and interconnection issues. Due to some of these delays, staff allowed a 12-month extension of the NCHS CODs without penalties, pursuant to the FIT PPA terms.

In August 2021, the Board approved a revision to the FIT Program, including all executed contracts, reducing the daily delay damages rate from $0.20 per kilowatt of contracted capacity per day to $0.10/kW/day, to make the program less punitive on delays. The developer of the NCHS projects, EDP Renewables (EDPR), has been diligently paying these delay damages since missing their extended COD, while continuing to advance development of the local project in spite of significant challenges. The current expected COD for the projects is October 2025.

SUMMARY
Staff asks the Board to approve an amendment that would reduce the daily delay damages rate as the project achieves certain milestones. The developer is currently choosing to pay delay damages and continue to develop the project in good faith instead of terminating the PPAs.

However, they have reported to staff that the project is at risk of failure at the current damages rate, as the project’s COD continues to be pushed out due to delays outside the developer’s control. Staff believe that a reduction in the delay damage rate is necessary to ensure the project’s success, which is an important part of RCEA’s local development goals. Additionally, the amount of delay damages being collected from the projects is nominal with respect to RCEA’s budget and financial wellbeing, given the small project size.

The following is the revised daily delay damages rate schedule in the proposed amendments:
1) The rate will reduce to $0.075/kW/day upon completion of the PG&E pole restudy. 2) The rate will reduce to $0.05/kW/day upon approval of the conditional use permit. 3) The rate will reduce to $0.025/kW/day upon commencement of construction. 73

Page 2 of 2 ends

ALIGNMENT WITH RCEA’S STRATEGIC PLAN
The FIT program and projects advance many of the agency’s strategic goals, a subset of which are:
• 4.1.1 Maximize the Use of Local Renewable Energy to the Extent Technically and Economically Feasible and Prudent.
• 4.1.7.3 Provide Feed-In-Tariff Power Procurement Program for Small Generators. • 4.1.8.2 Procure Local Solar Energy.

EQUITY IMPACTS
N/A, these are amendments to existing contracts.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Assuming the project achieves COD in October 2025, these amendments would result in approximately $50,000 less in liquidated damages collected from the developer than if the PPAs were not amended. However, as discussed above, it is more likely the developer would elect to terminate the contracts and cease project development rather than continuing to pay damages at the current rate.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 2024-13 Approving the Form of and Authorizing the Execution of the Second Amendment to the North Coast Highway Solar 1 Power Purchase Agreement and the Second Amendment to the North Coast Highway Solar 2 Power Purchase Agreement.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item # 4.8
AGENDA DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: Board of Directors
PREPARED BY: Mike Avcollie, Senior Manager, Infrastructure Projects SUBJECT: North Coast Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Network Phase 2 Construction Contract Award

BACKGROUND
In 2022, RCEA received a Notice of Proposed Award of $700,000 from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for the North Coast Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Network Phase 2 project focused on placing Level 2 electric vehicle service equipment at 10 strategic community hubs in Humboldt County by 2026. Since then, Staff have been implementing the project, including contracting for design and engineering work for all 10 sites, and subsequently soliciting bids for construction at sites in Orleans, Redway, Garberville, Eureka, and Fortuna.

The Board has awarded three construction contracts based on bids received for those five areas. On August 14, 2024, Staff issued invitation for bids (IFB) IFB-24-505 for all necessary construction work at Azalea Hall/McKinleyville Library in McKinleyville, at Mad River Community Hospital and at Carlson Park in Arcata.

SUMMARY
In response to IFB-24-505, RCEA received three (3) bids (A.T.C, Hooven & Reese Inc., and Adams Commercial General Contracting). The lowest bid was provided by Hooven & Reese Inc. for a total bid amount of $142,414.30. Copies of the three bids received are attached to this report.

Responsiveness of Hooven & Reese Inc.’s Bid
The lowest bidder, Hooven & Reese Inc, did not submit a completed Bidder’s Qualification Form as was requested in the IFB. In its place, this bid contained separately generated sheets answering the detailed questions asked on the Bidder’s Qualification Form about actual prior construction projects in the Form’s Part B, sub question 3.

Determining the responsiveness of a bid is within the discretion of the awarding agency, and is made based on evaluating the face of the bid rather than the qualifications of the underlying bidder. A bid may be responsive even if it contains minor deviations from the bid requirements as long as the deviations are inconsequential and do not:

1. Affect the amount of the bid;

2. Affect the ability to make bid comparisons;

3. Provide a potential vehicle for favoritism;
NOTE: This staff report was revised
on Sept. 24, 2024.

Page 2 of 3 ends

4. Influence potential bidders to refrain from bidding; or

5. Give a bidder a competitive advantage over others by, for example allowing it to withdraw the bid without forfeiting its bid security.

Information provided elsewhere in Hooven & Reese’s bid supply answers to those questions of the Bidder’s Qualification Form that were not completed. Importantly, the omissions of this information from the Form especially when supplied elsewhere in the bid do not appear to affect the items listed above (1-5). Staff therefore believe that this bid is responsive to the IFB and recommends that the Board waive as inconsequential any discrepancies between the bid and the IFB instructions to award the contract.

Responsiveness of A.T.C.’s Bid
The next lowest bidder, A.T.C., submitted an outdated Price Breakdown Form instead of the updated version provided by addendum to the IFB. The question of A.T.C. bid’s responsiveness is moot if Hooven & Reese’s bid is deemed responsive.

Bid Protest
On September 20, 2024, RCEA received a bid protest from Adams Commercial General Contracting (ACGC inc). Specifically, ACGC inc. asserts that the bid packets submitted by Hooven & Reese, Inc. and A.T.C. are nonresponsive and should not be considered by RCEA.

Additionally, ACGC inc. states that A.T.C.’s registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for public works projects is expired.

As discussed above, the bid submitted by Hooven & Reese is responsive. Although the responsiveness of A.T.C.’s bid is not relevant, Staff notes that the Price Breakdown Form was updated by narrative scope only. The price breakdown information required on that Form remained unchanged. A.T.C. certified receipt of the addendum that updated this Form, with the result that A.T.C. would be held to the price break down supplied in its bid. Additionally, the DIR database shows that A.T.C. is registered with the DIR for public works projects with a registration expiration of June 30, 2025.

ALIGNMENT WITH RCEA’S STRATEGIC PLAN
By expanding our existing EV charging network and enabling future resiliency work at locations across the county, this project contributes to these Strategic Plan goals:
• 2.1.5 Integrate Distributed Energy Resources
• 3.2.2 Promote Advanced Fuels
• 3.2.3 Support Electric Vehicle Adoption
• 3.3.1 Develop Transportation Electrification Infrastructure • 3.3.4 Promote Vehicle-to-Grid Connection

EQUITY IMPACTS
The CEC grant award requires that at least 50% of project costs be spent on low-income or disadvantaged communities or both. All project sites are within the AB 1550 Low-Income Communities designated area, and an August 2022 CEC staff report “Localized Health Impacts

Page 3 of 3 ends

Report” lists our project sites as meeting one or more Environmental Justice indicators for age, poverty, or unemployment.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The project budget is $875,000, comprised of $700,000 in CEC grant funds and $175,000 in RCEA matching funds. The previously awarded design and construction costs total $458,919.36; award of this contract will increase the total to $601,333.66 which is within budget.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends:

1. Determine that the Hooven & Reese and A.T.C. bids are responsive to IFB-24-505.

2. Reject the bid protest submitted by ACGC, inc. on September 20, 2024.

IFB-24-505 Addendum No.2:

Additional Information from RCEA:

Bidders shall be required to add the City of Arcata as "additionally insured" on all insurance policies covering the work at Carlson Park.

Questions from Bidders:

1. Question: Will we be using the specified bollards with plates from Grainger for McKinleyville and Carlson Park, as they will be placed on existing sidewalks, or will we be saw cutting and removing sections of sidewalk to pour the new base?
Answer: Bidders may use the "Bolt Down Option" from detail 7 "Bollard Detail" on sheet C1 for the McKinfeyville.

Bollards at Carlson Park are by others and should not be included in this bid.

2. Question : If we are using the surface mount bollard, this spec'd item is not rated for vehicle impact per t he supplier. Can you confirm this is still the one to use? Answer: Please use the "Bolt Down Option" from detail 7 "Bollard Detail" on sheet C1 per the existing plans.

3. Question: The Mad River Hospital location does not have adjacent existing asphalt. Does RCEA have specs for the base preparation and edge slope to existing gravel, similar to what there is for the sites with existing AC? There is a detail for this on Sheet C-1, Detail 2, but it is crossed out and marked "not used".

Answer: That is an error on the drawings. Detail 2, Sheet C1 is the correct callout. Detail 1 on Sheet 2.3 has the correct callout, but C1 is incorrect in having the "not used" label over this detail.

Bidders shall use Detail 2 on Sheet C1 for the base preparation and edge slope to existing gravel at Mad River Community Hospital.

4. Question: The Eaton panel board to be used in lieu of the Siemens is 3BR4242L400R for the 3- phase panel, and BR4242L400R for the single-phase panel. Can we get approval for those 2 items?
Answer: RCEA submitted the specs for these Eaton panels to PG&E for review and approval on September 3, 2024. PG&E has not responded as of September 13, 2024.

5. Compaction is spec'd in a couple places on the plans, for both trenches and under parking stalls.

Is compaction testing required on this project?
Answer: Compaction testing is not required for this project.

6. Question: Are the bollards required to be painted, and/or have reflective taping, applied? Answer:No

Eureka, CA 95501
Sent via email: [email protected]; [email protected] Re: Bid Protest
Installation of EV Charging Stations for RCEA Network – Arcata & McKinleyville Dear Mr. Avcollie,
Per Specifications Section 00 73 00 Supplementary General Conditions, Article SGC 23. Bid Protest, we formally protest the bids submitted for the above-mentioned project on September 17, 2024 by both Hooven & Reese, Inc. and A.T.C.

Hooven & Reese, Inc.:

The bid packet submitted by Hooven & Reese, Inc. is missing the majority of Specifications Section 00 45 013 Bidder’s Qualifications and therefore does not comprise a responsive bid.

The idea that this form or lack thereof is inconsequential is not correct. If the form is inconsequential, then why is it included in the bid documents? There is no way to determine if the bidder is qualified to perform this work, as they did not submit their qualifications. For this reason, the bid of Hooven & Reese, Inc. should be thrown out.

Specifications Section 00 11 16 Invitation to Bidders clearly states:
“Each Bid must contain all components specified in Section 00 43 93 – Bid Submittal Check List and shall be submitted on the forms furnished by RCEA within the Bid Documents. All forms must be completed.” Specifications Section 00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders, Item E. Required Bid Form states:
“Bids must be full and complete. Bidders must complete all bid items and supply all information required by the bidding documents and specifications.” Additionally, Specifications Section 00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders, Item F. Contents of Bid Envelope lists in detail:
“The bid envelope shall contain all of the following:

Section 00 41 00 - Bid Form
CA Lic. #875823
Phone: (707) 443-6000 • Fax: (707) 268-8381 • [email protected] 339 2nd Street, Eureka, CA 95501 • www.acgcinc.com Page 2 of 3 Section 00 43 13 - Bid Security Form (Bid Bond), if required Section 00 43 36 - Subcontractor List
Section 00 45 13 – Bidder’s Qualification (emphasis added) Section 00 45 19 - Non-Collusion Declaration
Section 00 45 26 - Workers' Compensation Certification Statement Section 00 45 48 - Debarment and Suspension Certification” Specifications Section 00 43 93 Bid Submittal Check List also lists in detail:
“The following documents shall be submitted by each Bidder, as part of their complete Bid:

Section 00 41 00 – Bid Form
Section 00 43 13 – Bid Security Form (Bid Bond)
Section 00 43 36 – Subcontractor List
Section 00 45 13 – Bidder’s Qualifications (emphasis added) Section 00 45 19 – Non-Collusion Declaration
Section 00 45 26 – Workers’ Compensation Certification
Section 00 45 48 – Debarment and Suspension Certification END OF SECTION 00 43 93”
As described in the email sent September 20, 2024 by Mike Avcollie, Hooven & Reese, Inc. failed to include the Bidder’s Qualifications form provided in the bid documents in their bid packet and instead attached a separate sheet outlining previous projects completed by their company. The Bidder’s Qualifications form requests much more information that all other bidders are required to provide that Hooven & Reese, Inc. failed to provide, including Description of Bidder’s Organization, Nature of Operations, Surety Contact, and the bidder’s signature. The above repeatedly stated requirements have not been met and Hooven & Reese, Inc. should be disqualified as a responsive bidder.

A.T.C.

The bid submitted by A.T.C. should also be considered non-responsive, as this contractor is not currently registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and they failed to include the required updated bid form.

A.T.C.’s registration with the DIR expired on June 30, 2024 and has not been renewed. Please see the attached printout from the DIR website. Specifications Section 00 11 16 Invitation to Bidders states:
“This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. Each contractor or subcontractor listed on CA Lic. #875823
Phone: (707) 443-6000 • Fax: (707) 268-8381 • [email protected] 339 2nd Street, Eureka, CA 95501 • www.acgcinc.com Page 3 of 3 the bid proposal must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations at the time of bidding pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.” Additionally, State of California Labor Code Section 1725.5 requires all contractors bidding on a Public Works project to have current registration with the DIR before submitting a bid. Please see the attached printout.

Addendum 1 of the bid documents included an updated Bid Form. As described in the email sent September 20, 2024 by Mike Avcollie, A.T.C. submitted their bid packet on the old Bid Form. Specifications Section 00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders, Item E. Required Bid Form states:
“All bidders must submit bids on the Section 00 41 00, the “Bid Form.” RCEA will reject as non-responsive any bid not submitted on the required form.” Addendum 1 updates the requirements of the bid and A.T.C. should be disqualified as a responsive bidder as a result of ignoring the updates provided in Addendum 1.

The bid proposal we submitted on September 17, 2024 is complete, on updated forms, and we hold current registration with the DIR. Adams Commercial General Contracting, Inc. is the only responsive bidder for this project and the contract should be awarded to our company.

Thank you,
