5. CITY COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS
Councilmembers wished the public a Happy New Year.

Councilmember Brotman asked staff to provide a brief update on how Glendale’s homeless population has fared during the storm and what the City is doing to help. Community Services and Parks Director Onnig Bulanikian indicated that the Ascencia and Glendale Police outreach teams have been offering services such as temporary shelters through the City’s hotel voucher program and the Ascencia shelter to the city’s unhoused homeless population.

Currently the 45-bed Ascencia hotel is at a full capacity so the city has been referring individuals to the winter shelter program in Pacoima where they have 65 beds. The City currently has a number of individuals who are service resistant, and they are approached by City staff once or twice a week who would attempt to convince them to receive services.

Brotman shared a story of a group of parents from Franklin Elementary, led by Monica Campagna and Karen Neilsen, who were concerned that lunch foodware was being used once and thrown away. They worked with Glendale Unified school District and the Hobart company to pilot a dishwashing program at the school so students can use regular plates, utensils, and cups. The success of the pilot program led the parents to approach Senator Portantino and ask him to carry a bill that would fund a statewide program to replicate this across the state. Although the bill did not pass, CA Governor Newsom took notice and set aside $15M to fund this program that will help approximately 375 schools shift to reusable foodware, serving up to 225,000 students. Brotman expressed that it was great that so many students will now learn about reusable foodware and take this knowledge home to their parents. He also noted how a few concerned and committed community members can make a difference. He commended the efforts of the Franklin Elementary parents and committed citizens who worked to make this possible. He thanked GUSD for being willing to make some changes, Sen. Portantino for bringing the idea to Sacramento and Governor Newsom for carving out the money to take this program statewide.

Councilmember Asatryan asked staff to provide a report about formalizing a program and partnership with GUSD where Glendale Water and Power and Sustainability Office will work with GUSD students to institute an educational program regarding waste management and proper recycling. City Manager Roubik Golanian informed council that there was a program in place but it was put on hold because of the pandemic. Since the students are now back in school, this program could be brought back to the schools and a report of this program will be presented to council soon. Asatryan travelled to Armenia during the holidays to visit Glendale sister cities, Gyumri and Ghapan, but she was not able to visit Martuni in the Republic of Artsakh, due to the Azerbaijani blockade. She was happy to report that both Gyumri and Ghapan want to re-establish strong ties with the City of Glendale, as there are a lot of opportunities for the cities to work together and collaborate. She stated that the City of Gyumri 8 of 153

4 is leading the way in clean energy projects, and they have reached a point where all their government and school facilities are now utilizing 100% clean energy and are looking for ways to do better waste management. Asatryan stated that the City of Ghapan is in an area where there are Azerbaijani military posts, and some parts of the region, which were in Armenia proper, are now occupied by Azerbaijan. Asatryan visited the Ghapan Museum where she viewed a section that was dedicated to the Glendale and Ghapan Sister City Association. The City of Gyumri is also looking into opening a museum that would highlight their sister cities and they were hoping that the City of Glendale could provide some items that they can include in their museum. Asatryan stated that the Mayor of Ghapan would like to formally invite the City of Glendale for a delegation visit. She also extended a similar invitation to the City of Ghapan. Asatryan visited the Yerevan City Council Meeting as an honorary guest. One of the items discussed at the meeting was their Al Fresco program. The City of Yerevan currently has 26,000 permits for renovations and build-out and their process requires a 15-day turnaround. If a permit has not been issued within this timeframe, the applicant has the right to build whatever they want. One of the things that the City of Yerevan has asked for was collaboration and assistance on Emergency Preparedness since it is an issue all across Armenia and Artsakh.

Mayor Kassakhian stated it was great to be back after a peaceful and uneventful holiday and hoped that everyone was able to observe and celebrate the season. He stated that he attended several events last week in observance of the Armenian Orthodox Christmas including the blessings of the water ceremonies at Glendale Memorial Hospital and Glendale Adventist Hospital. Due to the rainy season, Kassakhian informed the residents that staff was asked to keep an eye and address issues that may arise at the Rockhaven building. He announced that the city will be closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Day. He spoke about the importance of the holiday for Americans as it is a reminder of the struggles that so many have had to fight and the challenges of discrimination that people in our country had to endure until those rights were outlined in the constitution and were accessible to all. He also read an excerpt from the speech Dr. King gave in Oslo, in 1964, during his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Resolution Adopting Plans and Specification No. 3926 for the Glendale Transportation Center Renovation Project, and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Originally known as the Glendale Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, the 6,000 square foot Spanish Colonial Revival structure was built in 1924. In the year 2000 it received a much- needed renovation that sought to maintain the building’s historic integrity as well as the introduction of modern amenities, such as computerized check-in service and Wi-Fi.

Currently, GTC is home to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, including Metropolitan Transit Authority's Metrolink system, Amtrak, Greyhound and the City’s Beeline. In addition, the GTC links to the City of Los Angeles' Union Station to the south and to the City of Burbank and its entertainment center to the north.

On February 14, 2022, the Public Works Department authorized Architectural Resources Group (ARG) to provide professional architectural and landscaping design services for the building and site improvements. To date, ARG has completed the designs including plans and specifications and the project is now ready to receive bids for construction.

The construction is anticipated to have minimal interruptions to the operations since all the work is on the exterior of the facility. It is anticipated that the project will be completed within four months and is expected to begin in May 2023.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The GTC is a Multi-Modal Transportation facility designed to aid the casual train rider and the regular commuter. The project scope is solely to repair and preserve the existing structure and finishes. The Project Manager will work with onsite staff to minimize any interruptions to daily operations.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Architect’s estimate for the GTC Renovation Project is $1,500,000, a portion of which was approved as part of the FY 2022-23 Budget. Any new appropriation, if needed, will be requested to cover the entire project cost, after the completion of the bidding process, and as part of contract award.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the plans and specifications for the Central Library Children and Youth Services Renovation Project and authorize the City Manager to amend the existing Contract with Johnson Favaro to increase the amount by $238,420, for a total not-to-exceed $562,420.

BACKGROUND
The 92,600 square foot Central Library opened March 13, 1973 on the former site of Glendale Union High School and Glendale College; the iconic Brutalist building was designed by renowned architect Marvin Taff of Welton Becket and Associates. An extensive remodel in 1992 enlarged the Children’s Room, expanded the Special Collections Room to include local history material, and added a Computer Training Room.

In 2017, Central Library re-opened after an extensive renovation, which won a Conservancy Preservation Award from the Los Angeles Conservancy. Highlights of the renovation included the addition of a MakerSpace, the ReflectSpace Gallery, six new meeting rooms, an upgraded auditorium, and a relocated main entrance to the north side of the building, better connecting the library to Glendale’s vibrant downtown. Less visible, but still critical improvements included seismic retrofits, a new HVAC, Electrical and Mechanical plant, ADA upgrades, improvements to networking and power infrastructure and a new elevator. The renovation resulted in a beautiful, more usable space that provides improved public access to information and technology, a vibrant community gathering place, and spaces for work and study, creation and collaboration.

While the 2017 renovation created a beloved, vibrant community space, additional funding was not available to create that same environment for teens and children. The current design has addressed all of the needs for the teen and children’s spaces such as the improved usability and modernization work the rest of the building previously received.

Teens, children, and their families make up a large and growing portion of Glendale Library users, and the spaces need to support them at every stage of life. The Central Library Children’s Room is always busy with the Preschool Play Area being filled with parents and children. Teens currently have an area in the library that houses teen collections, but there are few seats in that space, and they are rarely used by teens. Teens make use of every area of the library, and sometimes their use interferes with patrons who are looking for a quiet space to work. Glendale teens rely on the library as a safe space after school, and these active, engaged library users need designated spaces for them to study, socialize, create, explore, and learn.

The 2017 renovation eliminated the second-floor adult restrooms. The only existing public restrooms on the second floor of the library are the “Girls” and “Boys” restrooms which 24 of 153

3 4c
are accessible only from the Children’s Room, which creates problems for adults renting the auditorium space, or using collections and meeting rooms. Two family restrooms in the Children’s Room and adult restrooms supporting the auditorium will be built.

To address these needs, Library, Arts & Culture and Public Works solicited an RFP for Architectural/Engineering, Interior Design, and Construction Administration services. On March 9, 2021, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Johnson Favaro in a total not-to-exceed amount of $324,000. Staff from Library, Arts & Culture and Public Works departments worked collaboratively with Johnson Favaro through the design development phase of the project, collected enthusiastic community input, and adjusted plans accordingly. On December 7, 2021, Johnson Favaro presented conceptual design plans to City Council and incorporated feedback accordingly. Because of the uncertainty of the nature of the final design, Staff had initially removed the Construction Administration portion of their proposal at the time of award. Now that the plans are complete, Staff recommends Council authorize an amendment to Contract No. 8001171 with Johnson Favaro, increasing the amount by $238,420, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $562,420. With the additional funding, Johnson Favaro will provide Construction Administration services. These services include assistance with bids received, review and approval of submittals, and responding to Request for Information (RFIs) during the bid process and construction.

The Budget Act of 2021 created the Building Forward grant program by allocating $439 million in one-time funds to the California State Library to address life-safety and critical maintenance needs of public library facilities throughout California, prioritized for lower income areas. LAC submitted an application for Building Forward in March 2022 and was recently awarded $5,670,328, which Council has accepted. 25 of 153

4 4c

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Public Works Department staff will work with Library, Arts & Culture staff to minimize the disruption this construction will cause to Central Library operations.

Staff and the architect have held multiple meetings with the community and City Council. During these meetings Council’s and community’s feedback were incorporated into the design.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Central Library Children and Youth Services Renovation Project will cost approximately $6,000,000, which was approved as a part of the FY 2022-23 Budget.

This scope of work does not include additional grant-funded work for Central Library, such as the roof replacement, solar panels and air handler, etc. No new appropriation is being requested at this time. The City Council approved funding is outlined below.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: California Energy Commission’s California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program grant in the amount of $80,000 to support Glendale's incorporation of SolarAPP+ into the Land Management System

2. Resolution of Appropriation in the amount of $80,000.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for January 24, 2023 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Building & Safety Division of the Community Development Department applied for and was recommended for approval to the California Energy Commission for the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program in the amount of $80,000.

The grant is intended to assist jurisdictions with establishing online, automated solar permitting.

28a
3 8
8 4

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Environmental Stewardship: By streamlining the solar application process, the City will further its goal of incentivizing an increase in the generation and use of renewable (solar) energy within the City.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Director of Community Development or designee to execute the agreement with the California Energy Commission for the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program, and accept and appropriate the grant funding.

BACKGROUND
California Automated Permit Processing Program – CalAPP was established with the passage of Senate Bill 129 to support a grant program for California cities and counties to establish automated, online solar permitting. Glendale’s population entitles it to $80,000 to be utilized, not only for the integration software, but also, for training events for staff and local installers, maintenance costs, subscription costs for the software database that supports the newly adopted platform, and staff time.

ANALYSIS
To meet its clean energy goals, California needs new renewable and storage resources, including rooftop solar and storage projects. Per the 2021 Senate Bill 100 Joint Agency Report, achieving 100% clean electricity in California requires an acceleration of the development of rooftop solar projects. CalAPP funding is intended to encourage cities and counties to further enhance permitting processes and accelerate processing and turnaround time, particularly regarding plan review. Overall, funding is intended to promote the development of residential solar and solar-plus-storage systems, greatly decreasing approval times, cutting permitting costs for local governments and homeowners, and helping California meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals through an easier installation process. As state law prohibits enforcement of items not related to health and safety, such as aesthetic requirements, the review of the application to install a solar energy system is limited to the Building Official’s review of whether it meets all health and safety requirements of local, state, and federal law.

Allowable Costs include:
• Ongoing staff labor costs associated directly with the adoption, and maintenance of a qualifying online, automated permitting platform, including:
oIn-house staff time, including IT resources
oThird-party consultation services
oOngoing, in-house staff time spent on staff training specific to the platform. • Ongoing costs associated with training installers, developers, and other external parties in the use of the system.
• Essential hardware or equipment necessary to support the adoption of a qualifying platform.
• Three years of maintenance and subscription costs for permit tracking software in support of the adopted permitting platform. 31 of 153

38a
3 8
8 4
Cities are mandated to have integration of an automated, online solar permitting system launched by September 2023. This funding will be utilized to ensure Glendale meets this deadline.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
No additional outreach is proposed regarding acceptance of this grant. However, once SolarApp+ is integrated, outreach will be conducted to businesses and residents and training will be offered to installers.

FISCAL IMPACT
The CalApp Grant was not included as part of the FY 2022-23 budget. The grant amount totals $80,000 and will help cover the cost of integrating SolarApp+ for online and automatic solar permitting. Staff requests an appropriation of $80,000 from grant revenue, which will be reimbursed upon grant agreement execution and reimbursement submissions. Reimbursement requests may be submitted quarterly through June 30, 2027. The appropriation request is outlined below:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The activity/action to authorize acceptance and appropriation of grant funds to support the implementation of SolarApp+ is not a project under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 because it will not cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore, is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review.

Moreover, the action/activity is exempt from further review under CEQA in that, if a project, it is not one which has the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3).

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1: Adopt the motion authorizing the Director of Community Development, or designee, to execute a Grant Agreement with the CEC in the amount of $80,000, and the appropriation to the grant fund. This will provide funding for training, education, and hardware and software costs of integrating SolarApp+ into the Land Management System.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On November 30, 2021, the City Council certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Scholl Canyon Landfill Biogas Renewable Generation Project (Biogas Project) and approved the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Special Recreation (SR) Permit.

On September 20, 2022, the City Council directed Glendale Water & Power (GWP) staff to complete additional tasks relating to the Biogas Project, each of which are discussed in this Report, and return to City Council with a further report on same.

GWP staff now recommends that the City Council dispense with competitive bidding and issue the Full Notice to Proceed (FNTP) for the second and final phase of the Biogas Project, authorize the execution of Amendment No. 1 with WES, and authorize an Engineer-Procure-Construct contract for the engineering, design and construction of the Biogas Project, as well as adopting a resolution appropriating funds to cover the cost of developing Biogas Project and Owner’s Engineering Services.

It is also recommended that the City Council authorize a Line Extension Contract with the SoCalGas, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, for construction of natural gas piping and a meter set assembly related to the Biogas Project.

GWP staff also recommends that the City Council authorize an amendment to the City’s existing PSA with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) to increase the contract amount by $235,000 in order for Stantec to provide pre-construction mitigation measure compliance services for the Biogas Project, as well as an amendment to the City’s existing PSA with Worley to increase the contract amount by $1,100,000 to provide Owner’s Engineering, Project management services for the duration of the construction and commissioning of the Biogas Project.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure: This project will install four gas engine generators, along with landfill gas cleanup system with the purpose of capturing and combusting the existing landfill gas (LFG) and capitalizing on this renewable energy by-product from such combustion for beneficial public use as a renewable energy resource.

Environmental Stewardship: Currently, the LFG generated by the decomposition of fill materials in the Scholl Canyon landfill is collected, compressed to remove liquids and combusted in an existing flaring system. The project will initially generate 12 megawatts of non-intermittent, locally generated electricity that is enough to power over 11,000 37 of 153

38b

homes using renewable energy.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve and issue the FNTP for the Biogas Project and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract with WES to provide for the remaining engineering design, fabrication, delivery and installation of the Power Island Major Equipment (PIME) to the site, as well as technical oversight and training for City staff.

Staff also recommends that the City Manager enter into an Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) Contract with ACCO for the engineering, design, construction, and commissioning of the Biogas Project.

Authorize a Line Extension Contract with the SoCalGas, in the amount of $100,000, for construction of natural gas piping and a meter set assembly related to the Biogas Project.

Also authorize an amendment to the City’s existing PSA with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) to increase the contract amount by $235,000 to provide supplemental professional environmental services, as well as an amendment to the City’s existing PSA with Worley to increase the contract amount by $1,100,000 to provide Owner’s Engineering and Project Management services for the duration of construction and commissioning of the Biogas project.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to a Request For Proposals (“RFP”) process and evaluation of proposals which was conducted in 2016 by GWP, on June 13, 2017 the City Council, by Resolution No. 17-68, issued a Limited Notice to Proceed (“LNTP”) authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with WES for the engineering support, and detailed specifications and data regarding the PIME for the Biogas Project in order for the City to apply for permits, undertake California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) reviews and information for the preparation of the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for the EPC contractor for the Biogas Project.

Additionally, on June 13, 2017, the City Council, by Resolution 17-69, authorized GWP to issue the Request for Qualification (RFQ), and subsequently the Request for Proposals (RFP) utilizing the City’s Alternative Delivery Method to secure an EPC contractor to thereafter return to the City Council for consideration of the issuance of a contract.

On November 30, 2021, the City Council certified the EIR for the Biogas Project and approved the CUP and the SR Permit. The next necessary steps, in order to proceed with the Biogas Project, would be the issuance of the FNTP to WES, the PIME supplier and the award of the EPC contract. Each one of these items is discussed below.

In January 2022, GWP’s Owner’s Engineer for the Biogas Project, Worley undertook the RFQ and the subsequent RFP process to identify the most overall qualified EPC contractor in terms of price and technical competence. The process that was followed from January 2022 to present is as follows:

•December 17, 2021 - January 21, 2022: Worley was hired to be the new Owners Engineer for the Scholl Biogas project.
•January 21, 2022 - February 4: Worley revised the RFP documents as necessary and sent invitations to the three 2017 prequalified EPC companies to submit proposals for the RFP.
•February 17: GWP is notified that all three EPCs elected to not submit proposals in response to the RFP, all for different reasons.
•February 23: GWP decided to issue a new RFQ followed by a new RFP phase.

RFQ submittal deadline was set for April 1, 2022.
•April 15: All RFQ respondents are approved to move to the RFP stage (ACCO, ARB Inc. (ARB), and SCS Energy).
•April 19: The RFP issuance pushed to May 9 that consequently pushed RFP due date to July 1.
•June 15: ARB schedule extension request of two weeks is approved; RFP due date pushed to July 15.
•July 12: ARB another schedule extension request of two weeks is approved; RFP due date pushed to July 29.
•August 19: Worley completed the evaluations of the two proposals received from ACCO and ARB.
•September 20: City Council directed a pause on the approval of the Biogas Project contracts and directed staff to return with a report regarding 1) cost benefit analysis of the project including the energy content of the Project; 2) methane gas clean-up; 3) the communication of a robust fire plan to the community; 4) the status of plans to develop solar and storage on City sites; 5) demonstration of firm assurance that the proposed Project will not be converted into an all-natural gas plan; and 6) community meetings relating to the Project.

Each of these items are discussed below.

In addition to the actions taken per Council’s direction on September 20, 2022, Worley has also worked with GWP and WES to have all the contract documents amended to allow GWP to issue the FNTP to WES for engine procurement, pending City Council approval of the project. WES has committed to firm pricing through February 24, 2023, pending that they get the FNTP prior to that date.

As discussed in more detail below, the City has been working with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) since June 2017 on the submittal of the application for the required SCAQMD permit.

ANALYSIS
The City serves its system load through a combination of renewable energy sources comprised of local and imports, non-renewable imports, and local-generation. Between 1996 and 2017, the City was primarily burning the landfill gas from the Scholl Canyon Landfill in steam boilers located at the Grayson Power Plant via a 5.5-mile long underground dedicated pipeline. In 2018, based on SCAQMD directives, the City discontinued burning landfill gas in the Grayson boilers. Since then, the landfill gas has been burning in the existing flaring system at the Scholl Canyon Landfill that is operated 39 of 153

58b

2 9
by the Los Angeles County Sanitation District.

To ensure the most optimal use of the existing landfill gas, as well as to provide a reliable renewable energy resource, the City proposes to install four Jenbacher Gas Engine Generators, with the applicable landfill gas cleanup system, on a 2.2-acre site at the Scholl Canyon Landfill. Given that Scholl Canyon Landfill gas composition and degradation is site specific, GWP hired an independent consulting firm, SCS Engineers, to model future gas production and degradation at the landfill and to assess the condition of the landfill after its closure. Per SCS Engineers modeling, there will be sufficient gas production to run the proposed four engines until 2034, and three engines until 2042. During this time, the Biogas Project will generate approximately 12MW-

10.5MW (four engines) and 9MW-7.7MW (three engines) of gross renewable power.

After 2042 there will be only two engines running and generating an estimated 6MW of gross power.

Status of the WES Contract and the FNTP:

In 2018 WES’ price for the FNTP was $13,928,938. Although, five years have gone by and the cost has increased due to significant inflation rate, staff managed to negotiate a price of $17,629,194 with WES which was valid until September 23, 2022. Due to continued price increases through fourth quarter of 2022, the cost of the project now has increased to $19,364,855. The price comprises of $17,417,623 for the original scope of work, $475,021 for Performance and Payment Bonds as well as an additional sum of $1,472,211 for added scope of work that includes a natural gas compressor due to the low pressure of the SoCal Gas system and for shipping requirements, WES has to subcontract out certain EPC mechanical and electrical services in order to reassemble/assemble the engine-generator modules before turning them over to the City. The modules cannot be delivered to site as a whole, i.e., a complete engine- generator package, due to shipping constraints.

The City’s Charter, Article VI, Section 9, allows City Council to dispense with competitive bidding where the City Council determines that dispensing with competitive bidding is in the best interests of the City. As noted above, WES was selected in 2017, through a RFP process held in 2016, as the best value proposer to the City. The RFP process allows the consideration of other factors serving the best interests of the City, rather than a mandatory award to the lowest proposer, when making an award. Since WES has completed the LNTP phase of the Project and has engineered the Project equipment, in order to ensure continuity of service relating to same upon the purchase of the Project equipment, staff is recommending and requesting that the City Council dispense with competitive bidding and issue the FNTP to WES, and to also authorize an amendment to WES’s existing contract with the City to manufacture, supply and oversee the installation of, PIME.

The RFP Process for the EPC Contract:

To ensure that the public had an opportunity to participate in the Biogas project, the RFQ for the Project was reissued on March 4, 2022. Three qualified EPC firms responded to the RFQ, and all were selected to proceed to the RFP stage. After 40 of 153

68b
3 0
2 9
amending the RFP documents from their 2017 versions, the RFP was issued to the three qualified firms on May 9, 2022, with a proposal due date of July 29, 2022.

The City received three responses to the RFP. Two were formal proposals, which are discussed in more detail below: one from ARB Inc., in the amount of $70,909,700, and another from ACCO Engineered Systems, Inc., in the amount of $43,637,098. Now (As of January 12, 2023) increased to $45,800,200 (5% increase) to cover the escalation associated with the revised schedule for labor, equipment, subcontractors and general conditions. GWP lowered the previously requested contingency of 15% down to 10% to absorb portion of the price increase.

The third response was from SCS Energy, which declined to submit a formal proposal due to business reasons but informally stated that had a proposal been submitted, their budgetary price would have been $55,800,000.

Upon review of the proposal documents and after considering all of the required metrics of evaluation, GWP recommends that ACCO be awarded this EPC contract. At this time, this request for approval is to authorize WES and ACCO to begin work on the project with notices to proceed.

Stantec’s Supplemental Professional Environmental Services:

Due to the technical expertise needed, GWP requests that Stantec continue providing services necessary for the acceptance and success of the Biogas Project. As part of these services, Stantec will be preparing a Worker Environmental Awareness Program, conducting pre-construction surveys on wildlife and vegetation, prepare a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, prepare an application for a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, advancing air permitting requirement for the project, and any additional support GWP may request.

Worley’s Services:

As GWP Owner’s Engineer to manage review and monitor project design plus engineering, equipment procurement supervision, construction conformance with drawings and specifications, project commissioning and witness plus approve performance testing.

Southern California Gas Company Line Extension Contract:

As part of the Biogas Project, SoCalGas will need to extend their distribution system and install a meter to serve the Biogas Project. This work includes the construction of gas service piping and a meter set assembly (meter), and if required, the extension of gas main piping. The Engineer’s cost estimate for this work is $100,000 and is included in miscellaneous project costs.

2. Methane Gas Clean-Up:

The landfill gas (LFG) cleanup system proposed by the EPC contractor, ACCO, is designed and manufactured by Willexa Energy. It includes LFG compression via blowers, sulfur removal by a sulfur reduction media, dehydration via a chiller system, and siloxane removal by a regenerative catalyst system.The LFG degradation data was developed by SCS Engineers from Scholl historical and present data plus informed assumptions for the future. SCS’s LFG model was used to calculate the LFG output or recovery potential over time. The model uses USEPA data plus SCS’s data to calculate the LFG recovery potential over time.

SCS uses the historical data from Scholl and a database of over 1200 years of 42 of 153

LFG flow and methane data from 253 landfills with operational LFG collection systems.

3. Communication of a Robust Fire Plan to the Community:

On December 14, 2022, the Glendale Fire Department held a community meeting where the City’s robust plan in the Glenoaks Canyon neighborhood was discussed. Some topics included the region’s fire history, evacuation and alerting steps and resources, and wildfire prevention such as the fire hazard severity zones, vegetation management laws, defensive space requirements, and home hardening. Residents were also informed of the wildfire response assets available to the residents from three different agencies: Glendale Fire, LA County Fire, and LA City Fire. The following mitigation measures are included in the project:
•Increasing the current brush clearance to allow for a minimum of 100ft clearance around all structures and buildings.
•Enclosing the engines which will contain the biogas within a structure (i.e. – no open flame exposure to the surrounding area).
•The structure will include a fire protection system that will activate at the first sign of a fire problem.
•The office buildings will include a fire sprinkler system. •The power distribution center will include a NFPA-compliant fire protection system.
•The 60,000-gallon water tank will have fire department connections and is solely available for fire suppression use.
•Fire extinguishers and fire suppression hoses will be throughout the facility.
•Fire alarms throughout the facility.
•Separation within the engine enclosure building which will isolate a fire danger and minimize its spreading from engine to engine

4. Status of Plans to Develop Solar and Storage on City Sites:

A number of City sites have been identified for carport, rooftop, and/or ground mount solar installations. GWP worked with Black & Veatch to develop technical specifications for each of the solar installation options as well as conceptual designs for the sites. Per City Manager’s direction, GWP is now working with one of Owner’s Engineers to further develop the City owned solar projects.

5. Demonstration of Firm Assurances that Project Will Not Be Converted to All-Natural Gas Plant:

The SCAQMD Permit is one of the (if not the) most important documents governing the scope and operation of the Biogas Project. The SCAQMD Permit specifically provides a limit/cap of 10% natural gas usage of the Biogas Project. 43 of 153

98b
3 0
2 9
Any levels exceeding this will be in violation of the SCAQMD Permit.

Additionally, operating the Biogas Project with natural gas levels exceeding the SCAQMD Permit will disqualify the Biogas Project as a renewable source.

Finally, the EIR also allows the use of natural gas at a maximum of 10%.

Therefore, any exceedance or modification would require a new EIR process, which the City Council will need to review and approve. Therefore, the operating permitting documents for the Biogas Project and the City Council are the firm assurances that the Project will not be converted to an all-natural gas plan

6. Community Meetings Relating to the Project:

The following community meetings relating to the Biogas Project were held in accordance with Council’s direction:
•November 10, 2022 – Site tour to Glenoaks Canyon Homeowners Association members of the landfill and biogas site
•November 16, 2022 – Meeting with Glenoaks Canyon Homeowners Association members
•November 30, 2022 – Open House held at the Civic Auditorium inviting the public to discuss and learn more about the Biogas Project. •December 7, 2022 – Site Tour of the Scholl Canyon Landfill and Project to the Glenoaks Canyon Homeowners Association members
•December 7, 2022 – Community meeting with the Community Services & Parks Department regarding possible future recreational uses of the closed landfill site.
•December 8, 2022 – Responding to questions that were asked during the November16, 2022 meeting with the Glenoaks Canyon Homeowner’s Association
•December 8, 2022 – Meeting with a few Glenoaks Canyon Homeowner’s Association members, to discuss future solar systems at the landfill and other sites in Glendale
•December 14, 2022 – Community meeting with the Fire Department regarding fire plan
•January 11, 2023 – Microsoft Teams meeting with representatives of Glenoaks Canyon Homeowners Association as the final wrap-up discussion.

AQMD Permit:

On August 24, 2022, the City received confirmation by the SCAQMD of its intent to issue the draft permit for the Biogas Project. On September 19th, 2022, AQMD issued a preliminary draft permit to construct and temporary permit to operate.

SCAQMD continues to prepare its final report to US EPA. Once that report is complete, SCAQMD will then submit it to EPA, release the draft permit to the public and initiate the public review process. SCAQMD's actions going forward are not dependent upon City Council actions but instead are dependent solely upon SCAQMD's determination that the project complies with all applicable regulations. In releasing its preliminary draft 44 of 153

108b
3 0
2 9
permit language to the City in September, SCAQMD has reaffirmed its concurrence that the project is in compliance with all applicable regulations and qualifies for permit.

Project Description: The proposed Biogas Renewable Generation Project will serve two major roles for the City:
•Provide the City a Renewable Portfolio Standard
resource.
•Provide an environmentally sound manner in
which to use the landfill gas from the Scholl
Canyon Landfill.

The proposed Biogas Renewable Generation Project, a
12 MW gross power plant, is to be located at
Glendale’s existing Scholl Canyon Landfill (Site). The
power plant will consist of four self-enclosed Jenbacher JGS 620 Reciprocating Engine Generators (REG), a
biogas and condensate treating facility, natural gas
pipeline, and electrical interconnection to Glendale
Water and Power’s (GWP) electrical distribution
system.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Extensive stakeholder outreach was conducted for the Biogas Project, the process of which was governed by the requirements of the applicable California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The City issued a Notice of Preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Proposed Project on March 21, 20191. The CEQA-governed public outreach, as well as the City’s efforts for stakeholder outreach are summarized in this section.

The Project DEIR was circulated for public review and comment from July 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 for an extended 90-day public comment period. Through the CEQA process, outreach was undertaken to the following stakeholders:
- Residents and business owners: through publication of notification of, and information relating to, the DEIR through the CEQA noticing process (e.g. publication through the county, city and state clearinghouse, through GWP’s social media platforms and through the City’s website, as well as noticed and agendized public hearings before the GWP Commission, Sustainability Commission, Planning Commission and the City Council.
- Surrounding jurisdictions and applicable authorities (such as, but not limited to, the City of Pasadena; City of Los Angeles; Los Angeles County; South Coast Air Quality Management District; Los Angeles Sanitation District; City of La Canada; 1 Prior to the issuance of the Notice of Preparation of the DEIR and the DEIR/FEIR process, the City issued public notice and conducted public hearings for the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Biogas Project. At the direction of the City Council, the City proceeded with the much more comprehensive CEQA review via the DEIR/FEIR process.

Caltrans; California Air Resources Board; State Water Resources Control Board; Department of Toxic Substances Control; and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife): by providing them written notification of the DEIR with an opportunity to submit comments, each of which were addressed thoroughly by the City.

In addition to the above, during months of November and December of 2022 a number of site tours and community meetings were held with Glenoaks Canyon Homeowners Association members and the general public.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total contractual cost for Biogas Renewable Generation Project is $73,116,561 based on the following cost breakdown:
•FNTP to WES and EPC: $65,165,055
•Total contingency of $6,516,506 at 10 percent for WES and EPC •Owner’s Engineer and miscellaneous project costs: $1,435,000 Of this amount, $26,207,685 was approved as a part of the FY 2022-23 budget. The remaining amount of $46,908,876 was not included, therefore staff is requesting for an appropriation of $46,908,876 from the Electric Surplus Fund Balance or Bond proceeds.
