An Evaluation Committee, which may include members of the City's staff and possibly one or more outside experts, will screen and review all Proposals according to the weighted criteria set forth above.

While price is one basic factor for award, it is not the sole consideration.

A. Responsiveness Screening : Proposals will first be screened to ensure responsiveness to the RFP. The City may reject as non-responsive any Proposal that does not include the documents required to be submitted by this RFP. At any time during the evaluation process, the City rese rves the right to request clarifications or additional information from any or all Proposers regarding their Proposals.

B. Initial Proposal Review: The Committee will initially review and score all responsive written Proposals based upon the Evaluation Criteria set forth above. The Committee may also contact Proposer's references. Proposals that receive the highest evaluation scores may be invited to the next stage of the evaluation process. The City may reject any Proposal in which a Proposer’s approach, qualifications, or price is not considered acceptable by the City. An unacceptable Proposal is one that would have to be substantially rewritten to make it acceptable. The City may conclude the evaluation process at this point and recommend award to the most qualified or lowest responsible bidder. Alternatively, the City may elect to negotiate directly with one or more Proposers to obtain the best result for the City prior to making a recommendation or selection.

C. Interviews, Reference Checks, Revised Proposals, Discussions: Following the initial screening and review of Proposals, the Proposers included in this stage of the evaluation process may be invited to participate in an oral interview. Interviews, if held, are tentatively scheduled for the week of January 21-22 2025 and will be conducted at City of Costa Mesa City Hall, 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. This date is subject to change. The individual(s) from Proposer's organization that will be directly responsible for carrying out the contract, if awarded, should be present at the oral interview. The oral interview may, but is not required to, use a written question/answer format for the purpose of clarifying the intent of any portions of the Proposal.

In addition to conducting an oral interview, the City may during this stage of the evaluation process also contact and evaluate the Proposer’s references, contact any Proposer to clarify any response or request revised or additional information, contact any current users of a Proposer’s services, solicit information from any available source concerning any aspect of a Proposal, and seek and review any other information deemed pertinent to the evaluation process.

Following conclusion of this stage of the evaluation process, the Committee will again rank all Proposers according to the evaluation criteria set forth above. The Committee may conclude the evaluation process at this point, and make a recommendation for award, or it may request Best and Final Offers from Proposers. The City may accept the Proposal or negotiate the terms and conditions of the agreement with the highest 640

ranked organization. The City may recommend award without Best and Final Offers, so Proposers should include their best Proposal with their initial submission.

Recommendation for award is contingent upon the successful negotiation of final contract terms. Negotiations shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure to competing Proposers unless an agreement is reached. If contract negotiations cannot be concluded successfully within a time period determined by the City, the City may terminate negotiations and commence negotiations with the next highest scoring Proposer or withdraw the RFP.

The protest must clearly specify in writing the grounds and evidence on which the protest is based. The City’s Purchasing Department will respond to the protest in writing at least 3 days prior to the meeting at which City’s recommendation to the City Council will be considered. Should Proposer decide to appeal the response of the City’s Purchasing Department, and pursue its protest at the Council meeting, it will notify the City’s Purchasing Department of its intention at least 2 days prior to the scheduled meeting.

A. Procedure – All protests shall be typed under the protester’s letterhead and submitted in accordance with the provisions stated herein. All protests shall include at a minimum the following information:
• The name, address and telephone number of the protester; • The signature of the protester or the protester’s representative; • The solicitation or contract number;
• A detailed statement of the legal and/or factual grounds for the protest; and • The form of relief requested.

6. Accuracy of Proposals: Proposers shall take all responsibility for any errors or omissions in their Proposals.

If prior to contract award, a Proposer discovers a mistake in their Proposal which renders the Proposer unwilling to perform under any resulting contract, the Proposer must immediately notify the facilitator and request to withdraw the Proposal. It shall be solely within the City's discretion as to whether withdrawal will be permitted. If the solicitation contemplated evaluation and award of "all or none" of the items, then any withdrawal must be for the entire Proposal. If the solicitation provided for evaluation and award on a line item or combination of items basis, the City may consider permitting withdrawal of specific line item(s) or combination of items. Any Proposer who withdraws a Proposal will be ineligible to bid further on the work included in the RFP scope.

CITY OF COSTA MESA
Agenda Report
77 Fair Drive
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
File #: 25-417 Meeting Date: 9/2/2025
TITLE:

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION REGARDING THE RESULTS OF THE ORANGE

COUNTY POWER AUTHORITY (OCPA) FEASIBILITY STUDY
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
PRESENTED BY: CECILIA GALLARDO-DALY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER CONTACT INFORMATION: HADASSA JAKHER, 714-754-4885,
[email protected]
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is requesting that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the feasibility study conducted by the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) and the corresponding presentation led by OCPA;

2. Provide direction on the substantial staff research required to evaluate joining OCPA; and

3. Direct staff to identify available funding for any costs associated with Costa Mesa’spotential membership in OCPA.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Costa Mesa previously considered joining the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) in early 2020. After much deliberation, at the regular City Council meeting on November 17, 2020, the City Council voted to have the City Manager and City Attorney negotiate the final terms of the agreement with OCPA. However, due to the precedence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the leadership structure of the OCPA at the time, the City did not execute an agreement with OCPA.

In early 2024, representatives from OCPA and several Council Members requested the reconsideration of an agreement between the City of Costa Mesa and OCPA, given the experience gained by OCPA over the years since its inception. At the regular City Council meeting on July 16, 2024, the City Council approved OCPA to access Costa Mesa’s electrical load data in order to conduct a feasibility study for the City’spotential membership in OCPA. Additionally, the City Council directed OCPA to present the results of the study to the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee (FIPAC).

The feasibility study conducted by OCPA analyzed the historical load consumption data of Southern California Edison (SCE) customers within Costa Mesa, including a prospective outlook for users in Costa Mesa. Current OCPA rates for residential and commercial customers are included for reference, as well as OCPA’sFiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget. In mid-2025, OCPA staff met

721
File #: 25-417 Meeting Date: 9/2/2025
reference, as well as OCPA’sFiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget. In mid-2025, OCPA staff met with City staff and Council Members Marr and Reynolds to discuss the feasibility study and an estimated timeline of Costa Mesa’s potential membership in OCPA.

OCPA will present the results of the feasibility study at the September 2, 2025, regular City Council meeting.

ANALYSIS:

With the completion of OCPA’s feasibility study, staff must conduct thorough due diligence and substantial research to determine the effects of Costa Mesa’s potential membership in OCPA.

Therefore, staff is requesting that the City Council provide further direction, in accordance with City Council Policy 300-6.

According to City Council Policy 300-6, proposals with substantial research must be brought forward to the full City Council for formal consideration. To assess the impacts of OCPA membership to the City of Costa Mesa and its residents and businesses, staff would need to conduct substantial research in the following areas:
· An independent, third-party review of OCPA’sfeasibility study, including, but not limited to, an analysis of OCPA’soperating budget, proposed rate structure, and the risks and benefits to the City and to prospective users.
· An analysis of the staff resources required in order to support the City’s membership in OCPA, including, but not limited to, a dedicated City staff member to act as a project manager with OCPA to liaise with the preparation and launch of the program in Costa Mesa, a comprehensive public education plan suitable for all demographics, and any ongoing administrative needs.
· An analysis of the funding required, including, but not limited to, the costs of the independent third-party review, the costs associated with a public education plan and campaign throughout the city, and any ongoing administrative costs.
· A review of the rate of success of the program implemented in surrounding member cities of OCPA, including an assessment of surrounding cities that have considered/are considering joining OCPA.

Upon completion of the research, staff would provide recommendations to the City Council regarding potential membership in OCPA, which would include:
· The final feasibility study conducted by OCPA, including documents not yet received from OCPA, such as a three-to-five-year rate trajectory for user rates; · The results of an independent, third-party review of OCPA’s feasibility study; · Identification of the staff member(s) that will assist in liaising with OCPA and the roll out of the program;
· A request to appropriate the necessary funds to cover any associated costs of substantial

722
File #: 25-417 Meeting Date: 9/2/2025
· A request to appropriate the necessary funds to cover any associated costs of substantial research and program implementation;
· The results of the review of rate of success in surrounding cities; and · Any recommendations provided by FIPAC, as directed by the City Council at the July 16, 2024, meeting.

The substantial staff research conducted would provide the City Council with all the requisite materials necessary to be informed and prepared to consider Costa Mesa’s membership with OCPA.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may provide alternative direction to staff on the substantial staff research required to consider joining OCPA.

FISCAL REVIEW:

There is no fiscal impact with this action, however, should City Council provide direction to proceed with the third-party review, staff would identify an available funding source and request authority to appropriate funds.

A full fiscal impact analysis to the City of Costa Mesa’sbudget will be provided upon further direction by the City Council should they wish to explore the utilization of a third-party reviewer. Funding for the review of OCPA’sfeasibility study was initially budgeted in the Citywide Community Choice Energy project in the Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 401); however, these funds were deferred in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approved it as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the following City Council Goal:
· Advance environmental sustainability and climate resiliency.

CONCLUSION:

The City Council has previously considered joining the Orange County Power Authority. Currently, OCPA has conducted a feasibility analysis based on SCE load data. The City Council may direct staff to evaluate the feasibility study with a third-party reviewer prior to determining whether to join OCPA.

Orange County Power Authority - Costa Mesa Feasibility Study

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In July 2024, the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) presented to the Costa Mesa City Council. At that meeting, the Council authorized the City Manager to release the City’s electric load data to OCPA for the purpose of conducting a feasibility study.

OCPA engaged Pacific Energy Advisors (PEA) to conduct an independent analysis evaluating the financial implications of the City joining OCPA. The results of the study were presented to Costa Mesa staff on May 21, 2025.

Based on the study’s assumptions, the outlook for the City’s potential membership is favorable.

A prospective launch in March 2027 is projected to yield a net positive outcome for OCPA. The study anticipates that approximately 46,000 new customer accounts in Costa Mesa would be served by OCPA, with an estimated 90% enrolling in the Smart Choice rate plan—which offers approximately 76% renewable energy content at an added cost of 1.0 cent per kWh above the Basic Choice rate in 2025. The remaining 10% are expected to choose the 100% Renewable Choice plan, which provides full renewable content at an additional cost of 1.5 cents per kWh over the Basic Choice rate.

ANALYSIS
The Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program has been available in California since 2002, following the passage of Assembly Bill 117. This program provides an alternative to the traditional Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) model by enabling local governments to manage their own energy procurement. Through CCA, participating agencies can purchase electricity, set generation rates, and reinvest revenue locally. As of today, there are 25 operational CCAs in California, including the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA), collectively serving over 14 million customers across more than 200 cities and counties.

To assess the financial viability of membership, OCPA engaged Pacific Energy Advisors (PEA) to conduct an independent feasibility study. The results of the study will be presented to the OCPA Board in September 2025. At that time, the Board will consider whether to formally invite the City to join OCPA and initiate collaboration on the necessary steps for membership integration.

PEA acquired and analyzed the City's 2024 historical annual load consumption data from SCE, which is the most up-to-date information available, to conduct the Study. As of August 2024, there are approximately 50,600 eligible customer accounts within the City, with energy consumption of 33% for residential and 67% for commercial customers.

The Study was based on several key assumptions:

Attachment 1
724

• Customer Enrollment Timeline: Customer enrollment is projected to begin in March 2027, in alignment with California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulations for CCA expansion. March was selected to allow adequate time for community outreach following the holiday season and to avoid the higher costs and volatility typically seen during the summer months (June through September).
• Customer Participation: The study assumes a 10% opt-out rate for eligible residential customers and a 5% opt-out rate for eligible commercial customers. Streetlight and traffic control accounts, which are primarily municipal, are expected to be fully enrolled. • Eligible Customer Accounts and Load: After applying opt-out assumptions, approximately 46,000 customer accounts are projected to enroll in OCPA, contributing an estimated annual electric load of 600 GWh. This would represent a 27% increase in OCPA’s existing customer load.
• OCPA Rate Plan Enrollment: It is assumed that 90% of enrolled customers will choose the OCPA Smart Choice rate plan, which provides approximately 76% renewable energy content and includes an additional charge of 1.0 cent per kWh over the Basic Choice rate (as of 2025). The remaining 10% are expected to opt for the 100% Renewable Choice plan, which adds 1.5 cents per kWh over the Basic Choice rate. • OCPA Incremental Revenues: Revenue projections are based on cost-of-service rates, with the expectation that OCPA will annually adjust its rates to meet revenue requirements.
• OCPA Incremental Costs: The anticipated 27% increase in load will result in additional costs, including power procurement at prevailing market rates, SCE service fees, data management charges, and marketing and outreach expenses.

Estimated Incremental Revenues and Operating Margin
For the initial partial fiscal year (FY2026/27, covering October 2026 through June 2027), incremental revenue is projected to be approximately $19 million, with an estimated operating margin of $6.8 million. For the full fiscal years FY2027/28 through FY2029/30, average annual incremental revenue is projected at $77.1 million, with an average operating margin of $12.3 million.

It is important to note that these projections represent the estimated incremental impact of adding Costa Mesa customers to the OCPA service base. However, OCPA’s financial model is based on a pooled, agency-wide approach, in which revenues and expenses from all participating jurisdictions are aggregated and managed collectively. As such, these incremental revenues and margins are not separately allocated or reserved for the City of Costa Mesa, nor are they treated as discrete financial gains for any individual member agency.

This shared structure supports rate stability, operational efficiency, and collective investment in programs that benefit all members. While the addition of Costa Mesa is expected to generate a net positive impact on OCPA’s overall financial performance, the resulting margin will contribute to the agency’s general fund and support the long-term sustainability of services across all member agencies.

725

A detailed overview of the fiscal impact—including projected incremental revenues, operating expenses, and operating margins for FY2026/27 through FY2029/30—is provided in Attachment

1. These projections, calculated on a load-weighted basis, account for energy procurement, staffing, marketing, outreach, SCE service fees, data management, reserves, and other operational costs.

Prospective Outlook
Based on the assumptions in the feasibility study, the outlook for the City of Costa Mesa joining OCPA is currently positive. A prospective launch in March 2027 is projected to result in a net financial benefit for OCPA.

However, OCPA staff emphasizes that California’s energy markets are inherently volatile, with prices subject to rapid fluctuations. As a result, the study’s projections may change depending on market conditions at the time of implementation.

Beyond the financial outlook, there are several strategic and environmental benefits to the City’s potential participation. Joining OCPA would:

• Expand the agency’s membership base,
• Support regional progress toward increased renewable energy adoption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and
• Enhance customer choice and local control over energy procurement and rate setting.

These benefits align with broader sustainability goals while offering Costa Mesa the opportunity to play an active role in shaping a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

OCPA Renewable Energy Content for OCPA Smart Choice Customers In 2025, OCPA's Smart Choice plan offers 55% renewable energy plus 40% carbon free content, exceeding SCE's 2024 default basic product renewable energy content by 17%. OCPA's Basic Choice plan and 100% Renewable Choice plan offer 47% and 100% renewable energy content, respectively. SCE customers who wish to receive service with higher renewable content must opt into SCE's Green Tariff Shared Renewables program (Green Rate Program), which is currently closed to new customers. Out of approximately 5,000,000 accounts in the entire SCE service area, only about 3,000 accounts are currently enrolled in the SCE Green Rate Program.

Joining OCPA provides the City of Costa Mesa with a unique opportunity to take control of its energy choices while delivering substantial benefits to the community. As a public, community- driven agency, OCPA empowers customers to select their energy sources, including options that are more affordable or sustainable. For its existing member agencies, OCPA currently offers a 3% discount compared to SCE's equivalent generation rate on the Basic Choice plan, which customers have enjoyed approximately $2.6 million in on-bill savings since its inception. The exact savings for the City customers who choose to opt-down to Basic Choice will vary based on its rate classification and energy usage. Unlike traditional utilities, OCPA reinvests profits 726

locally, supporting economic growth and funding programs that help reduce energy costs, lower consumption, and enhance reliability. By joining OCPA, the City can play a pivotal role in shaping a cleaner, more affordable energy future while advocating for local control at the state level.

OCPA Renewable Energy Content for Smart Choice Customers In 2025, OCPA’s Smart Choice plan offers a power mix consisting of 55% renewable energy and 40% carbon-free content, exceeding SCE’s 2024 default product by 17% in clean energy content.

OCPA also offers two additional rate plans:
• Basic Choice: 47% renewable content
• 100% Renewable Choice: 100% renewable content

By contrast, SCE customers seeking higher renewable content must enroll in the Green Tariff Shared Renewables program (Green Rate Program)—a limited opt-in offering that is currently closed to new participants. As of now, only approximately 3,000 out of 5 million SCE accounts are enrolled in this program.

Joining OCPA would provide the City of Costa Mesa with a unique opportunity to gain local control over energy choices while delivering meaningful benefits to its residents and businesses.

As a public, community-focused agency, OCPA empowers customers to choose energy options that are more affordable, sustainable, or both.

For example, OCPA’s Basic Choice plan currently offers an estimated 3% discount compared to SCE’s equivalent generation rate. Since launch, customers across existing member agencies have realized approximately $2.6 million in on-bill savings. Actual savings for Costa Mesa customers who select Basic Choice will depend on rate classification and individual usage.

Unlike traditional investor-owned utilities, OCPA reinvests revenues locally, supporting economic development and funding programs that help reduce energy costs, promote energy efficiency, and improve system reliability.

By joining OCPA, the City of Costa Mesa can play a leading role in advancing a cleaner, more cost-effective, and locally governed energy future, while ensuring that its community has a voice in statewide energy policy decisions.

Next Steps
In accordance with the OCPA Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) and the California Public Utilities Code, the City of Costa Mesa must complete the following actions to formally join OCPA:

1. Adopt an ordinance authorizing implementation of OCPA’s Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program within City boundaries.

2. Adopt a resolution expressing the City’s intent to join OCPA and approving the OCPA JPA Agreement.
727

Following these actions, OCPA staff will prepare an Amended Implementation Plan for consideration by the OCPA Board at a public hearing, anticipated to occur in November or December 2025 (see attached proposed onboarding timeline, Version 1 or 2). To remain on track for a 2027 launch, the amended plan must be submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for certification no later than December 31, 2025.

As part of the membership process, OCPA is required to provide a minimum of 30 days’ written notice to its current Member agencies, notifying them that the Board will be considering the City’s membership. This notice must include all substantive materials necessary to support informed deliberation.

Finally, approval of the City’s membership is subject to a two-thirds supermajority vote of the OCPA Board, as specified in the JPA Agreement.

The ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC) recovers the CPUC-approved market price limit for legacy electricity contracts (signed prior to 1998), as well as statutorily authorized costs that are related to restructuring of California’s electric industry prior to the energy crisis. These charges are assessed to all customers, including SCE-only customers, but are collected separately for CCA customers and go directly to SCE.

The Wildfire Fund Non-Bypassable Charge (WFC) supports the California Wildfire Fund. This charge is assessed to all customers, including SCE-only customers, but is collected separately for CCA customers. The funds go to the State of California for potential disbursement to IOUs, such as SCE, if a catastrophic event occurs. Customers on CARE and Medical Baseline Programs are currently exempt from these charges.

Surcharge
The Generation Municipal Surcharge (GMS) Factor recovers franchise fees paid by SCE to operate within certain municipal jurisdictions within California. This charge is assessed to all customers, including SCE -only customers, but is collected separately for CCA customers. The charge equals the product of the GMS factor and the SCE rates or charges that have been removed from the bill of a customer receiving CCA service. An exemption applies to CA political subdivision and certain cogeneration or nonutility generation facilities. It is the responsibility of the customer to self-identify for exemption. 746

St. Lighting9 (0.01160)$ 2021 The Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) is a fee collected by SCE and assessed to customers who receive their electric generation services from another provider. The PCIA is considered an "exit fee" assessed by SCE to cover costs for departing customers; resources acquired prior to a customer's change in service providers, and to ensure their current customers are “indifferent” to costs associated with the departed customers. SCE assigns customers a "PCIA Vintage" based on the date a customer’s respective community enrolled in alternative service; this date is reset upon reenrollment if a customer opts -out and later re-enrolls in OCPA service. The PCIA is charged on a per kWh basis based on net monthly usage, and is unaffected by time of use.

CEO Message
2 As we prepare for the FY25/26 fiscal year, the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) reaffirms its unwavering commitment to delivering affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy to our customers. The proposed budget reflects a strategic, forward-thinking approach, adeptly balancing immediate fiscal challenges with a vision for long-term resilience and growth. Anchored by our core principles of transparency, customer empowerment, and community-driven innovation, OCPA is poised to navigate a dynamic regulatory and market landscape while delivering exceptional value to the communities we serve.

A critical challenge in 2026 is the volatility of the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), driven by fluctuating market dynamics and legacy utility contract vintages. In collaboration with the California Community Choice Association (CalCCA), OCPA is spearheading advocacy efforts at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to enact meaningful PCIA reforms. These reforms prioritize capping the PCIA, enhancing transparency in its methodology, and ensuring equitable cost allocation. By stabilizing PCIA expenses, we safeguard our ability to offer competitive rates relative to Southern California Edison (SCE), reinforcing affordability for our customers.

Affordability remains the cornerstone of OCPA’s mission. Our Basic Choice plan, delivering 47% renewable energy, is projected to maintain a 3% cost advantage over SCE’s equivalent generation rates, ensuring tangible savings for our customers. The FY25/26 budget is meticulously crafted to fully fund operating expenses, debt obligations, and a prudent reserve contribution, supported by a robust energy cost mitigation strategy that preserves our competitive edge.

OCPA’s financial position continues to strengthen, supported by consistent operating surpluses. For FY25/26, we aim to build reserves to 30–50% of annual operating expenses, enhancing liquidity and operational flexibility. Concurrently, we are advancing a strategic roadmap to secure an investment- grade credit rating by 2027, which will strengthen our capacity to negotiate favorable energy procurement terms and fortify our fiscal foundation.

To optimize long-term power procurement costs, OCPA is exploring innovative financing solutions, such as green prepayment bonds. A rigorous feasibility study will assess market conditions and OCPA’s financial preparedness, with findings to be presented in a transparent workshop for our Board of Directors. This session will feature detailed case studies and comprehensive cost-benefit analyses, ensuring decisions are informed, accountable, and aligned with our mission.
754
3 OCPA is steadfast in its commitment to reinvesting in the communities we serve. In FY25/26, we will expand transformative customer programs to advance equitable access to clean energy. These initiatives include solar incentives, enhanced electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) program. The DAC-GT will deliver 100% renewable energy and a 20% bill discount to eligible residential customers in disadvantaged communities, furthering the objectives of our Community Power Plan and promoting energy equity.

OCPA is thrilled to announce the planned expansion of service to Fountain Valley in October 2026. This milestone will broaden our customer base and enhance economies of scale, driving operational efficiencies. To ensure a seamless transition, we are implementing meticulous financial planning and strategic forecasting to align revenue and expenditure projections, maintaining our commitment to fiscal stability.

With the steadfast support of our Board and community, OCPA is uniquely positioned to lead the transition to a cleaner, more affordable, and equitable energy future. Through prudent resource management, robust policy advocacy, and impactful community programs, we will continue to combat climate change while empowering our communities with sustainable, accessible energy solutions.

FY2025/26 Budget
Roadmap
756
The Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is pleased to present a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26, marking the third year of full operations. This budget aligns with the Board-approved strategic goal of prioritizing fiscal sustainability and affordability.

OCPA’s budget is updated annually and reviewed mid-year to balance immediate operational needs with long-term financial stability and rate affordability. It outlines estimated revenues and expenses for the fiscal year, spanning July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and is developed using a zero-based budgeting approach, requiring all expenses to be justified from the ground up to ensure efficient and purpose-driven resource allocation.

The proposed budget is organized into two primary categories: revenues and expenses. These categories are intentionally broad to provide flexibility, minimizing the need for frequent adjustments while ensuring adaptability to changing conditions.

OCPA FY2025/26
Operating Budget - Background
5 757

1. Financial Strength: Despite reduced rates, OCPA maintains robust financial health, projecting a net surplus of $0.45 million. The operating reserve is expected to reach $45 million, covering 16% of total operating expenses by June 30, 2026, and subsequently elevate it to $76 million (30% of total operating expenses) by December 31, 2026, thus meeting the Board’s minimum reserve target.

2. Affordable Rates: OCPA’s 2025 rate structure remains unchanged, offering competitive pricing. Basic Choice rates, with 47% renewable energy, provide a 3% discount compared to SCE’s equivalent generation rates. Smart Choice rates deliver 55% renewable and 40% carbon-free energy in 2025, increasing to 60% renewable and 40% carbon-free energy in 2026, and add 1¢/kWh to Basic Choice rates. 100% Renewable Choice rates add 1.5¢/kWh to Basic Choice rates. The 3% discount applied to Basic Choice rates is proportionally extended across all three rate plans.

3. Competitive Net Energy Metering Program: OCPA preserves NEM 2.0 benefits for all customers, providing full retail compensation, accelerated solar payback, and a net surplus compensation rate 10% higher than SCE’s, reinforcing local solar adoption.

4. Clean and Renewable Procurement Strategy: Secures long-term contracts for clean and renewable energy resources to meet a significant portion of its electric demand, ensuring sustainability and cost stability.

5. Innovative Financing Options: To optimize long-term power procurement costs, OCPA will explore green prepayment bonds, enhancing financial flexibility for clean energy investments.

6. Community Power Plan: Advances equitable clean energy access through solar-focused initiatives, including a low-interest loan program for solar incentives, expanded EV charging infrastructure, and the Disadvantaged Community Green Tariff program, which provides 100% renewable energy and bill discounts to income-qualified residents.

7. Talented Workforce: OCPA plans to reclassify two existing positions and maintain adequate staffing to support core operations and strategic priorities.6 OCPA FY2025/26 Operating Budget - Highlights

FY2024/25 Reforecast:

Despite a $36.4 million drop in net electricity revenue—driven by the retention of the 2024 rate design and Irvine’s shift from 100% Renewable Choice to Basic Choice—OCPA mitigated the impact by deferring $45 million in revenue from FY 2023/24. This strategy enabled a projected $17 million contribution to the operating reserve, increasing the reserve to $62 million, or 21% of total operating expenses. Additional relief came from lower projected CPUC Market Price Benchmarks (MPBs), effective cost controls, and slower-than-expected hiring, reducing the need for deferred funds to just $15 million and preserving $30 million in the Rate Stabilization Fund. As energy costs are expected to outpace revenues in FY 2025/26, OCPA will deploy the remaining $30 million to maintain rate stability, resulting in a breakeven FY2024/25 budget and a stable operating reserve of $45 million, or 16% of total operating expenses.

FY2025/26 Budget:

To offset an anticipated revenue shortfall—driven by the continued use of 2024 rate design and Irvine’s shift to Basic Choice—OCPA will utilize the remaining $30 million in the Rate Stabilization Fund. Despite increases in system energy and RA costs, total energy costs are projected to decline by $1.7 million, primarily due to an $84 million reduction in PCC1 costs following the suspension of new PCC1 procurement in response to a sharp market price spike in late 2024. Non-energy operating expenses are expected to rise by $3.4 million to support staffing, customer program expansion, and the implementation of a risk management system. The budget forecasts a modest $450k increase in net position, with the operating reserve projected to remain at $45 million by June 30, 2026, and grow to $76 million—or 30% of total operating expenses—by December 31, 2026, meeting the Board’s reserve target.
8 OCPA FY2024/25 and FY2025/26 Operating Budget - Overview 760
Primary Revenue Source: OCPA’s revenue primarily derives from retail electricity sales, driven by generation rates designed to cover power procurement, operating and non-operating expenses, capital expenditures, and contributions to the operating reserve.

Demand Forecast: Total retail load consumption is projected at 2,150 GWh for FY2025/26, including residential and commercial customers from Buena Park, Fullerton, and Irvine.

Data Utilization: Customer counts and load consumption estimates combine actual customer data from SCE and Calpine reports.
2025 OCPA Rates (July through December 2025): Based on the board-approved 2025 Rate Design:

Basic Choice: 3% discount below SCE’s equivalent generation rates.

Smart Choice: Basic Choice + 1c/kWh.
100% Renewable Choice: Basic Choice + 1.5c/kWh.
2026 OCPA Rates (January through June 2026): Guided by the Board-approved OCPA Rate Development Policy. Revenue will ensure coverage of power purchases, operational expenses, debt service, and targeted reserves.

FY2026/27 through FY2030/31 OCPA Rates: Aligned with the Board-approved OCPA Rate Development Policy for long-term financial stability.

Uncollectible Accounts: Reduced from 1.75% to 1.50% of operating, reflecting a low incidence of long-term aging accounts. 9 OCPA Revenue Assumptions – Key Highlights

OCPA’s 2025 rate design offers a 3% discount on the Basic Choice renewable energy plan generation rate compared to SCE's equivalent generation rate, providing significant relief to all customers. 10 OCPA Revenue Assumptions – 2025 Rate Design
762
o $45 million in revenue was deferred to the Rate Stabilization Fund from FY2023/24 to FY 2024/25 to offset a projected revenue shortfall.
o This action aligns with the Board-approved Rate Stabilization Policy, which promotes financial stability and customer affordability.
o The 2024 rate design was maintained in 2025, despite SCE’s generation rate decline, to shield customers from rate shock in 2025.
o Irvine’s shift from 100% Renewable Choice to Basic Choice in February 2025 also contributed to revenue impacts. o Financial relief came from a projected decline in the CPUC’s RPS & RA Market Price Benchmarks, combined with disciplined cost controls and slower-than-expected hiring. o Only $15 million of the $45 million deferral is now expected to be used in FY2024/25, leaving $30 million in the Rate Stabilization Fund to protect against future volatility in SCE rates or energy price spikes. o Energy costs in FY2025/26 are projected to exceed revenues; OCPA will proactively deploy the remaining $30 million to maintain rate and operational stability.
o FY2024/25 revenues and expenses are projected to balance at $284 million, resulting in a breakeven ($0) outcome. o Following the $30 million deferral, FY2025/26 net revenue is projected at $286 million – sufficient to fully cover energy and non-energy operating expenses.

OCPA Revenue – Revenue Deferral

OCPA procures electricity from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, to meet customer demand, with SCE managing delivery, billing, and infrastructure maintenance. OCPA’s energy costs are shaped by market fluctuations, seasonal demand surges (e.g., summer heat waves), and increasing customer load, which may necessitate purchasing additional power at elevated market rates. Regulatory requirements, including California’s Resource Adequacy mandates, require OCPA to secure sufficient energy capacity, potentially raising costs during peak periods. To address these challenges, OCPA employs long-term power purchase agreements and maintains a diverse renewable energy portfolio, ensuring competitive rates while supporting California’s sustainability goals. Below are the key assumptions for FY2025/26 power supply costs:

Cost of Energy Components:
● Energy: Includes system energy, renewable energy (including carbon-free attributes), and CAISO fees, estimated at $225 million or 83% of total power supply cost.
● Resource Adequacy (RA): A reliability obligation requiring committed generating capacity for system reliability, estimated at $45 million or 17% of total power supply cost.

Forecast Contracts: OCPA employs forward contracts to secure energy supply in advance, ensuring resource sufficiency and cost predictability for the budget.

Competitive Net Energy Metering (NEM) program: OCPA maintains NEM 2.0 benefits, offering full retail rate compensation for excess solar generation and Net Surplus Compensation (NSC) at 10% above SCE’s NSC rate. The estimated payout for NEM customers in FY2025/26 is $525,000.

20 FY2025/26 Budget Assumption – Proposed Organizational Chart 772
OCPA proposes to continue offering a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for full-time employees, effective January 1, 2026, to help offset the effects of inflation. The adjustment will be based on the April 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area and will result in updated budgetary salary pay ranges to reflect the approved COLA.

For FY2025/26, the COLA is budgeted at 3%. Full-time employees hired before December 1, 2025, will receive the adjustment on a pro-rata basis. For example, an employee hired in July 2025 will receive a 1.5% COLA (50% of the full 3% adjustment), while those hired on or after January 1, 2026, will not receive a COLA in that cycle.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, the proposed action is exempt under section 15301 relating to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, and/or minor alteration of existing public facilities.

BACKGROUND:

The Fairview Road Active Transportation and Rehabilitation Project (from Fair Drive to Newport Boulevard) is an Active Transportation improvement project with street pavement rehabilitation.

786
File #: 25-389 Meeting Date: 9/2/2025
This stretch of Fairview Road will be newly constructed with improved Class IV cycle tracks and green conflict zones that will include high-visibility crosswalks at major intersections. These proposed striping improvements are consistent with the City’sActive Transportation Plan (ATP) in achieving bicycle connectivity and expanding the City’s continuing bicycle networks.

Included in this project will be new median landscaping, tree plantings, and conversion of two existing bus stops to concrete bus boarding islands. In addition, a new High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signal will be installed near the midpoint of Fairview Road between Fair Drive and Wilson Street. The HAWK signal will allow for a new designated crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists at the bus boarding islands, as well as improved access to College Park Elementary School.

Parkway and street rehabilitation will include removal and reconstruction of damaged concrete parkways (e.g., curb and gutter, sidewalk, and curb ramps), pavement sections, milling and overlaying with new asphalt, adjustment of utility and manhole covers to grade, and implementation of traffic control.

The contractor is required to complete all the tasks necessary to perform the scope of work as outlined in the contract documents, plans, and specifications. A copy of the specifications and working details is available for review in the Office of the City Clerk.

787
File #: 25-389 Meeting Date: 9/2/2025
ANALYSIS:

The City received and opened ten (10) bids for this project on May 7, 2025. Hardy & Harper, Inc., the apparent lowest bidder, submitted a bid proposal in the amount of $2,860,000. The average of the ten (10) bids received amounted to $3,188,525. The bid results are included as Attachment 1.

The license and references of Hardy & Harper have been checked, and staff has found them to be in good standing.

Hardy & Harper has successfully completed other projects in the City of Costa Mesa, such as the Fairview Road Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) from Baker Street to Adams Avenue.

Upon City Council award of the PWA (Attachment 2), Hardy & Harper will furnish the necessary bonds and insurance, which will be approved as to form by Risk Management. After the award and subsequent execution of the agreement, a “Notice to Proceed” will be issued.

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternative to this Council action would be to reject all bids, re-advertise, and re-bid the construction project. Staff has determined that re-advertising and re-bidding the project will not result in lower bids and will delay the project.

FISCAL REVIEW:

Funding for the Fairview Road Active Transportation and Rehabilitation Project inclusive of the contingency in the amount of $3,146,000 is available in Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget in multiple funds, including Gas Tax Fund (201), Traffic Impact Fees Fund (214), Federal Grant Fund (230), and Measure M2 Fairshare Fund (416).

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’sOffice has reviewed this agenda report, prepared the PWA, and approves them both as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This project works toward achieving the following City Council goals:
· Maintain and Enhance the City’s Facilities, Equipment and Technology · Strengthen the Public’s Safety and Improve the Quality of Life CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

Consequently, permitted building projects relating to construction and demolition, newly constructed buildings, additions, alterations, interior and exterior demolitions, etc., are required to divert a minimum of 65% of nonhazardous construction and demolition waste from the landfill by recycling, reuse, or salvage. Generally, these materials include brick, drywall, other masonry, cardboard, green waste, paper, carpet, lumber, plastic, concrete, and/or metals. Asphalt, concrete, excavated soil and land-clearing debris should be 100% diverted from disposal. The County provides a suggested list of locations that are meeting and/or exceeding the 65% diversion requirement and may be used for recycling construction and demolition material.
