I.3 This Agreement shall supersede any previous Measurement and Verification Agreements accepted and approved by the “Purchaser” and “ABS.”
I.4 This Agreement, when accepted in writing by the “Purchaser” and approved by an authorized “ABS” representative, shall constitute the entire Agreement between the two (2) parties.
II. Charges:
II.1 For services not covered by this Agreement but performed by “ABS” upon the “Purchaser’s” prior written authorization, the “Purchaser” agrees to pay “ABS”’s invoice(s) 30 days after receipt of invoice. Failure to pay the invoice within 30 days after receipt will result in a 10% late payment penalty.
II.2 If emergency service is requested, ABS will provide Purchaser with a written proposal for the inspection and work and a cost estimate. ABS will only commence emergency service after Purchaser accepts the proposal and cost estimate in writing. If emergency service is requested by the “Purchaser” and inspection does not reveal any defect for which “ABS” is liable under this Agreement, the “Purchaser” will be charged at “ABS”’s emergency charge rates.
ABS’s emergency charge rates shall be seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per hour in year 1 of this Agreement and shall escalate at 5% annually thereafter.
III. Limitations of Liability:
III.1 Neither party shall be liable for any loss, delay, injury, or damage that may be caused by circumstances beyond its control including, but not restricted to: acts of God, war, civil commotion, acts of government, fire, theft, corrosion, floods, lightning strikes, freezes, strikes, lockouts, differences with workmen, riots, explosions, quarantine restrictions, delays in transportation, shortage of vehicles, fuel, labor or materials, or malicious mischief. IN NO
EVENT, SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSSES, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES.

Savings Guarantee
As of the date hereof, ABS guarantees that Purchaser shall realize total annual project savings (utility savings, operational savings, capital cost avoidance, rebates and Solar ITC) as shown in the table below. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the Contrary contained herein, Purchaser hereby agrees that (i) ABS’s expectation regarding the annual project savings is an estimate, (ii) ABS’s expectation regarding the project savings are based on IRS rules and regulations as of the date hereof, and (iii) ABS shall not be liable for any changes or amendments to the IRS rules and regulations after the date hereof. Additionally, Purchaser hereby agrees that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the application required for Purchaser to claim any tax credits related to the Solar ITC. The effective date will begin on the date of final acceptance of the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Program and receipt of final payment for the associated Installation Agreement. The total project savings will exceed the Installation Agreement Contract Amount and M&V payments associated with this M&V Agreement during the course of the useful life of the installed equipment. ABS agrees to complete the M&V Report on an annual basis and deliver to the Purchaser within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the anniversary date of final acceptance and annually thereafter. Project savings that are verified during the course of construction will be applied to the 1st year guaranteed project savings.
If the annual M&V Report demonstrates that the project will achieve one hundred percent (100%) or more of the Guaranteed Project Annual Savings, then ABS shall have satisfied its energy performance guarantee obligation and the Purchaser shall accept the Annual M&V Report.
In the event that an annual M&V Report savings value (including any excess savings from previous years) does not meet the Guaranteed Project Savings in accordance with the M&V Plan, then ABS shall repair, replace, or substitute the EEM that is not performing at the required level, as identified in the M&V Report. Following corrective action, ABS shall re-perform the relevant M&V work for the affected EEM(s) and amend or supplement the M&V Report. If the sum of the EEMs indicates that the Guaranteed Project Savings are met or exceeded, then no further remedy shall be required.
If, after the opportunity to make corrections, the M&V Report, as amended, indicates that verified savings are less than the Guaranteed Project Savings as shown in the Savings Summary, then ABS shall pay the Purchaser the shortfall amount.
The Purchaser agrees that project savings, which exceed the guaranteed amount in any one (1) year, may be applied to previous or future year’s savings to offset an energy savings shortfall. The savings guarantee will remain in effect for the term of this agreement. Cancellation of this agreement will result in the termination of the savings guarantee.
The Utility Baseline Summary, as shown in Attachment 2, may be modified over the course of the Guarantee Period to adjust for changes in utility rates, number of days in utility billing cycle, missing bills, missing meters, square footage, energy using equipment, building occupancy and weather. This Guarantee is subject to the Purchaser’s adherence to the Control Parameters for Lighting and HVAC systems, as documented in the Installation Agreement Attachments. This guarantee assumes the annual utility rate escalator of 4% and the annual solar production at 100% of the estimated solar production in kWh.

Measurement and Verification Methods
Measurement and Verification (M&V) of energy savings is a methodology based on standard industry protocol intended to provide reasonable assurance that energy savings calculated are realized over the term of the contract.
The development of the M&V plan is based on the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP):
Concepts and Options for Determining Energy and Water Savings, Volume 1. This plan contains methodology that shall provide verification of the estimated program savings through direct utility billing comparisons, engineering calculations and/or field measurements.
M&V methods can differ based on the type, size and complexity of the project, as well as the availability of data, level of assurance of saving, financing constraints, and energy costs. The M&V methods used for this project are detailed herein and were selected to be the most cost effective while still providing a reasonable assurance of the savings calculations.
IPMVP 2012 Volume 1 provides an overview of the IPMVP Options, as illustrated below:
M&V Option M&V Methodology Description How Savings Are Calculated Option A
Retrofit Isolation:
Key Parameter
Measurement
Savings are determined by field measurement of the key
performance parameter(s) which define the energy use of the EEM’s affected system(s) and/or the success of the project.
Measurement frequency ranges from short-term to
continuous, depending on the expected variations in the measured parameter, and the length of the reporting period.
Parameters not selected for field measurement are
estimated. Estimates can be based on historical data,
manufacturer’s specifications, or engineering judgment.
Documentation of the source or justification of the estimated parameter is required. The plausible savings error arising from estimation rather than measurement is evaluated.
Engineering calculation of baseline and
reporting period energy from shortterm or continuous measurements of key operating parameter(s) and
estimated values. Routine and nonroutine adjustments as required.
Option B
Retrofit Isolation:
All Parameter
Measurement
Savings are determined by field measurement of the energy use of the EEM-affected system. Measurement frequency
ranges from short-term to continuous, depending on the
expected variations in the savings and the length of the reporting period.
Short-term or Continuous
measurements of baseline and
reporting period energy, and/or
engineering computations using
measurements of proxies of energy
use. Routine and non-routine
adjustments as required.
Option C
Whole Facility
Savings are determined by measuring energy use at the whole facility or sub-facility level. Continuous measurements of the entire facility’s energy use are taken throughout the reporting period.
Analysis of whole facility baseline and
reporting period (utility) meter data.
Routine adjustments as required, using
techniques such as simple comparison
or regression analysis. Non-routine
adjustments as required.
Option D
Calibrated
Simulation
Savings are determined through simulation of the energy use of the whole facility, or of a sub-facility. Simulation routines are demonstrated to adequately model actual energy
performance measured in the facility. This Option usually requires considerable skill in calibrated simulation.
Energy use simulation, calibrated with
hourly or monthly utility billing data.
(Energy end use metering may be used
to help refine input data.)

Measurement and Verification Plan
IPMVP Option A: Retrofit Isolation, Key Parameter Measurement For Solar Photovoltaic System
M&V Procedure
This option shall provide for the measurement of at least one variable pre- and post-retrofit with other variables allowed for stipulation. For this installation, the kilowatt-hour (kWh) production from the solar PV systems shall be measured and recorded.
Stipulated Values
The solar system savings are stipulated for the purposes of M&V. Values are obtained from the expected solar kWh production outlined in the Solar Systems Attachment and assuming a NEM 3.0 tariff with the utility. The solar panel degradation factor (0.8%/year), avoided energy cost ($/kWh, based on the City’s rate schedule) and utility escalation rate (4%/year) are stipulated for the solar photovoltaic systems. Stipulated values are agreed to by Purchaser.
Savings Calculations
The calculations for the baseline energy consumption and post installation savings provided the basis for the overall financial viability of these EEMs. The following equations summarize the calculation of savings:
Electricity Production: Electricity production of the PV system is determined by recording the kilowatt hours (kWh) off the net electric meter and recording the results.
Dollar Savings: After recording kWh production, each site’s avoided energy cost ($/kWh), as shown in Utility Baseline, shall be used to determine dollar savings. Dollar Savings = (Annual kWh production) x (Avoided $/kWh) = Annual $ kWh Saved Maintenance of System
Calculation of energy cost savings from the solar PV systems are contingent upon the Purchaser maintaining an active operations and maintenance (O&M) contract with a solar service provider for the term of the solar lease agreement. The City shall provide ABS access to monitoring to the existing solar systems.
Pre-Retrofit Measurements
Existing utility electrical energy (kWh) consumption as shown in the Utility Baseline Summary, as shown in Attachment 2.
Post-Retrofit Measurements
Electrical energy (kWh) produced from the solar PV systems recorded from the net electrical meter.
Adjustments
For this EEM, the following adjustments are allowed for the purposes of Measurement and Verification:
• Addition or subtraction to the square footage of facilities. • Utility rates, billing days or degree days.
• Addition or subtraction of electrical load at the facilities. • Changes in the solar PV system sizing, location and layout. • Changes in the conditions at or near any of the sites, which causes additional shading, soiling, or otherwise reduced performance of the solar PV systems.
• Adjustment to the Guaranteed Production values for weather shall use local weather data as recorded during the corresponding period.
• To the extent that the System output is negatively impacted by casualty, government regulation and or restriction that is beyond the Contractor’s control to remedy within a reasonable time period, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a modification of the Guaranteed Production.
Excused Production Losses
For this EEM, the following events are excused from production losses and any necessary adjustments are allowed for the purposes of Measurement and Verification:
• Force Majeure Events: Lost production from the beginning of a Force Majeure Event until production limiting factors caused by the Force Majeure Event have been remedied.

• Grid Event: Lost production when a fluctuation in the Grid frequency or voltage causes the inverters or the System to disconnect from the Grid. The “Grid” is defined to be the system receiving power exported from the System. • Grid Outage: Lost production when a failure in the grid or Interconnection Infrastructure prevented energy from being exported from the solar facility. “Interconnection Infrastructure” means that utility-owned and maintained interconnection equipment (the substation including but not limited to transformers, switches, and protective relays) that is used to connect the Facility to the utility grid. Grid operator/owner ordered curtailments for any reason, other than an issue in the System, is a Grid Outage.
• Weather Events: Lost production from weather that limits or prevents safe operation of the solar facility including floods, snow, hurricanes, tornadoes, insolation-limiting wildfires, and volcanic activity. • Purchaser Caused: Lost production when System dc capacity is off-line due to outages attributable to Purchaser’s decision to perform or cause to be performed, any investigations, studies, operations, construction, installation and maintenance work or other activities deemed appropriate by ABS at its sole discretion.
Commissioning
Commissioning shall consist of inspections and a final Commissioning report. Commissioning of the new solar PV system shall include securing the Utility Interconnect agreement, proper alignment of the solar panels and functional testing.

Measurement and Verification Plan
IPMVP Option C: Whole Facility
M&V Procedure
The Measurement and Verification (M&V) Plan following IPMVP Option C protocol is designed to evaluate the energy performance of the whole facility, not just individual EEMs. The energy performance is assessed through utility meters, wholefacility meters, or sub-meters. The measurement boundary encompasses either the whole facility or a major section of the facility where EEMs were installed. Option C determines the combined savings of all the EEMs installed at the facility and is monitored by the associated energy meter. Savings reported under this Option will include the positive or negative effects of any non-EEM changes made in the facility because whole-facility meters are used.
Adjustments
Adjustments will be computed from identifiable physical facts about the energy governing characteristics of equipment within the measurement boundary. Adjustments are used to express both pieces of measured energy data under the same set of conditions. Two types of adjustments are possible:
• Routine Adjustments are used to account for any energy-governing factors, expected to change routinely during the reporting period. Routine Adjustments are completed by developing a mathematical model of each meter’s energy-use pattern. Typically, the baseline model includes factors derived from regression analysis, which correlates energy to one or more independent variables such as occupancy, weather, and metering period length. Values of independent variables over the reporting period can be inputted into the baseline model to predict what the baseline energy consumption would have been had if no EEM’s were installed. • Non-Routine Adjustments are used to account for those energy-governing factors which are not usually expected to change, such as: the facility size, the design and operation of installed equipment, or the type of occupants. ABS will monitor these static factors for change throughout the reporting period. Adjustments will be based on industry standards and sound engineering principles as they pertain to the specific affected system.
Metering
Whole-facility energy measurements can use the utility’s meters. Utility meter data is considered 100% accurate for determining savings because this data defines the payment for energy. The energy supplier’s meter(s) may be equipped or modified to provide output that can be recorded by the facility’s monitoring equipment. Meter data can be hourly, daily or monthly whole-facility data.
Savings Calculations
The calculations for the baseline energy consumption and post retrofit savings shall be completed in accordance with the industry guidelines set forth by IPMVP and ASHRAE. The baseline period and reporting period should use complete years of continuous data (12, 24, or 36 months). The electrical consumption reduction of the facility (measured in kWh and/or kW) shall be reported as Savings, or Avoided Energy Use, in which the savings are stated under the conditions of the reporting period and determined by the following equation:
Energy Savings (Avoided Energy Use) = (Baseline Energy ± Routine Adjustments to reporting-period conditions ± Non-Routine Adjustments to reporting-period conditions) - Reporting-Period Energy The price schedule of the reporting period will be used to compute the “avoided cost” on a meter by meter basis. The price schedule will be obtained from the utility and will include all elements that are affected by metered amounts, such as consumption charges, demand charges, power factor, and demand ratchets. In the event of a significant decrease in energy prices, the price schedule used for savings reporting will be that which prevailed at the time of commitment to the investment.
Cost savings are determined by applying the appropriate rate / price schedule in the following equation:
Cost Savings (Avoided Cost) = Cost of Baseline Energy - Cost of Reporting-Period Energy

Section 1: Executive Summary and Background
Executive Summary
The City of Patterson has partnered with Alliance Building Solutions, LLC (ABS) to evaluate opportunities to reduce energy consumption, modernize aging infrastructure, and implement facility upgrades through an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) project delivery aligned with California Government Code Section 4217 procurement. This assessment was conducted by ABS at no cost to the City and structured to deliver a comprehensive project, the cost of which is entirely offset over time by energy and operational savings.
The proposed project includes guaranteed savings which support third-party financing, allowing for immediate implementation without upfront capital investment from the City of Patterson. This financially viable, low-risk solution is aligned with the City’s operational and fiscal objectives.
This report summarizes the analyses conducted, the total recommended project cost, the projected savings to cover the cost, and identifies an Investment Tax Credit (ITC) amountthat is potentially available to the City.
Background
ABS began discussions with the City in July 2024 regarding energy infrastructure needs, project delivery models, and procurement options. In December 2024, the City executed a Letter of Authorization (LOA) engaging ABS to perform a no-cost energy savings assessment and project development. The intent of the LOA was to develop a guaranteed, self-funding project meeting the City’s technical, financial, and legal requirements and which could be brought forth for procurement under CA Government Code Section 4217.
Through citywide facility assessments at the direction of City staff, detailed equipment inventories, energy baseline analysis, and engineering development, ABS identified a portfolio of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) designed to reduce utility costs, improve asset performance, and support long-term sustainability goals.
The project has since been fully developed and meets or exceeds the parameters set forth in the LOA. The project scope and procurement have been discussed with the Mayor, City Council Members, City Manager, Deputy City Manager and Interim DPW Director, Finance Director, Public Works staff, and legal counsel.

Section 2: Utility Analysis
The initial phase of the analysis involved a comprehensive review of the City’s utility costs and energy consumption to establish accurate pre-project energy usage baselines. ABS submitted utility releases to TID for the latest 12 months of energy usage data and 15 min interval data for analyses at the facility level to understand consumption patterns, demand characteristics, and cost drivers.
This data was evaluated in conjunction with site walk observations, operating schedules, and staff input to identify opportunities to reduce energy use without compromising safety, comfort, or facility utilization. The resulting baselines provided the foundation for quantifying energy savings opportunities, developing targeted energy conservation measures, and supporting the guaranteed savings structure for this project.
This process included the following:
• Total annual energy consumption
• Total annual energy cost
• Peak demand charges
• Utility rate and tariff evaluation
• Load profile analysis / Peak load
• Demand charge reduction
The baseline table below represents the sites where ABS is recommending scope of work.
The baseline period is June 2024 to May 2025.

As part of project development, ABS conducted comprehensive site walk assessments at City-owned facilities to evaluate existing conditions, verify equipment, and identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency, infrastructure, and operations. These assessments, coordinated with City staff, informed engineering analysis, scope development, and financial modeling.
The ABS team reviewed facility layouts, operating schedules, and equipment performance, assessing the type, age, condition, and operation of existing energy systems. This information validated utility data and ensured proposed measures aligned with actual operational needs.
In parallel, ABS met with City staff, particularly Public Works and facilities teams, to gather input on maintenance challenges, failing equipment, operational priorities, and long-term capital planning. These findings enabled us to develop a comprehensive scope of integrated energy conservation measures designed to reduce energy use, address deferred maintenance, and enhance facility performance while meeting technical, financial, and long-term City objectives.

The ABS team conducted site walks and an analysis for potential solar and battery energy storage. Analysis included existing solar PV performance and compared generation to load profiles to determine efficiency and operational integrity. For new systems, we reviewed available site area, interconnection conditions, and utility tariff structures. The solar site investigation included evaluation of available roof and ground-mounted areas for photovoltaic installation. Factors assessed included roof condition, structural considerations, shading, orientation, available electrical interconnection points, and compatibility with existing electrical infrastructure.
The analysis focused on identifying viable locations for solar deployment and integration with the overall project scope. ABS performed technical and financial screening, considering current incentives, projected energy production, and lifecycle performance. It was identified that the existing solar system at the WWTP South was not operational, with no measurable site generation. (See NOTE below)
Seven (7) sites have been recommended for new solar installations, and two (2) sites have been recommended for a repowering measure.
Below are sites with recommended renewable measures:

NOTE: Regarding the repowering measure for solar at WWTP South The existing solar array at WWTP South was installed as part of a previous energy savings project that is still being paid off. This system components are beyond their warranty coverage, contain obsolete technology, and are not covered by a performance/savings guarantee.
When ABS audited the facility, the central inverter at WWTP South was offline and was inoperable for about 7 months. From the utility data received from TID, the failure began in May 2025.
ABS conducted an exhaustive review of the situation and considered numerous avenues of remediation. Our solar leadership has over 25 years each in commercial solar experience and are extremely well-qualified to evaluate options and recommend the best path forward for the City based on our considered opinion and experience.
The proposed rejuvenation of the system – paid for by savings – avoids extensive capital outlays to repair obsolete equipment in an obsolete system configuration.
Problem Assessment:
• The existing array at WWTP South is configured so that ALL of the solar power produced – which is DC Voltage – is collected and channeled through one central inverter. The inverter is designed to convert DC to AC Voltage for compatibility with grid power, either to offset consumption at WWTP South or to feed back into TID. • As a result of the central inverter failure, there was no AC power being delivered from the solar array to either offset ANY of the energy consumption at WWTP South or to deliver power back to TID.
• Given the age of the inverter, the fact that it is no longer manufactured, and the vulnerability inherent in the single-point-of-failure configuration, it is reasonably expected that a subsequent failure will be catastrophic and irreparable, or at the very least wildly expensive as an emergency repair, or simply left in a non-functioning state, which would not only eliminate any energy offset but could present an active life/safety/fire hazard.
• This “down” condition is indicative of an inverter that is beyond its useful life and beginning to fail. This assessment was apparently reiterated by an independent third party that was asked to review the array recently as well.

Potential Remedies – Capital Required
• Repair existing or Replace in kind:
o The inverter is beyond its warranty period – 10 years from 2013 o The specific inverter is no longer produced
o The original manufacturer has been sold twice. Parts and service are reportedly not well supported and very costly when available
o A central inverter design scenario for an array of this size is not recommended. • When the existing inverter inevitably fails again, the result will be long periods of downtime while waiting for service that will result in furtherlosses of energy production/$ savings
o Repairing the existing inverter would be a step backward – good money after bad o Replacing the inverter in kind would be difficult – if not impossible - to match the performance parameters and very expensive to install.
Remedies – NO Capital Required
• ABS’ recommended and proposed solution is to install multiple “string” inverters that mitigate the risk of full system failure.
o This solution is included in the project scope with no upfront capital required and paid by guaranteed savings.
o The recommended inverters come with a 20-year warranty which matches the duration of the financing of this project.
o ABS will include several spare inverters so that in the event of an inverter failure, the array can be brought back online quickly
Conclusion
The existing array is a ticking time bomb that will result in lost energy savings and significant out of pocket capital expense:
• First and foremost, there is no savings guarantee for the city on the existing Chevron array. • The central inverter is out of warranty and past its useful life. • The inverter is no longer made, and the original manufacturer has been sold at least once, possibly twice.
• Some parts may be available, but parts and repairs will undoubtedly be expensive and are NOT free or covered by any warranty or guarantee.
• If the inverter goes down again, the entire array will not send power to TID and therefore will not offset the usage at WQCF

• Other components within the array – combiner boxes, wiring harnesses, etc. are also 13 years old and weather-worn.
• The array was down for 7 months – not a communication error – it was not sending kWh to TID.
• The panels are no longer made – the broken panels cannot be replaced. • The broken panels are negatively impacting production and present a potential life/safety/fire hazard.
The proposed solution at WQCF South modernizes the system at no upfront cost to the City, provides resiliency, and its savings are guaranteed:
• Eliminates the single point of failure
• The savings are guaranteed for the duration of the contract. • The inverters are warranted for 20 years – same as the financing term • We adjusted the cash flow analysis to accommodate for the payoff of the existing loan for the Chevron project.
• The project modernizes the WQCF South, including:
o Full investigation of every string, conductor, connector and every combiner box.
▪ This includes thermography of the modules, connectors, and switchgear while operating
▪ Performing an Insulation Resistance Test (Megger) of all conductors prior to re-energization
▪ An I-V Curve analysis of each string to identify all poorly performing modules.
o New state-of-the-art inverters – replacement of the single inverter with 15 individual string inverters
o New switchgear equipment
o New transformer
o New wiring as required
o Removal of the old inverter
o Rearrangement of existing panels to remove potential fire/life/safety issues and to optimize the output of the array.
o A full commissioning of the completed repowering
• Simply stated, the proposed upgrade represents production and savings certainty, whereas the existing array represents production and cost uncertainty.

Section 4: Savings Overview & Calculation Methodology
Savings Overview
Projected energy and cost savings for the identified measures were developed using a combination of field-verified equipment inventories, historical utility data, and engineering calculations consistent with industry-standard practices. A pre-project energy baseline was established for each facility using historical electricity data, as appropriate for operational and seasonal variability. Savings for individual measures were calculated by comparing baseline equipment performance to proposed equipment efficiencies, control strategies, and operating assumptions derived from site walk observations and staff input. The total projected savings were calculated using current utility rates, and applicable operational and maintenance savings. All savings factors have been incorporated into the guarantee and will be verified in accordance with the agreed-upon Measurement and Verification plan.
Lighting Systems
Lighting savings were calculated by comparing the connected load and operating hours of existing lighting systems to the proposed high-efficiency fixtures identified during site walks.
Existing lamp wattages and fixture quantities were field-verified, and operating schedules were established based on facility use and staff input. These savings reflect reduction in electrical consumption resulting from improved lamp and fixture efficiency. The basis of the savings is from the delta in watts from baseline to post retrofit multiplied by the respective hours of operation.
A sample calculation is as follows:
kWh Savings = (baseline fixture wattage)(baseline hours) - (post-retrofit fixture wattage)(post-retrofit hours) Mechanical Systems
Mechanical equipment savings were calculated using engineering-based comparisons of existing equipment performance to proposed high-efficiency systems and optimized operating strategies. Equipment capacities, efficiencies, and operating characteristics were verified during site assessments, and baseline energy consumption was developed using historical utility data and facility operating profiles. Savings estimates account for improved equipment efficiency, optimized control sequences, and reduced runtime where applicable.
Calculations reflect anticipated performance under normal operating conditions and are incorporated into the project’s guaranteed savings framework.
The basis of the savings is the electrical load of the baseline HVAC unit multiplied by the baseline hours of operation minus the electrical load of the post-retrofit HVAC unit
8.1 Packet Pg. 531
Energy Project Feasibility Report

multiplied by the post-retrofit hours of operation. The savings come from overall unit efficiency and part-load efficiency improvements with either a modulating energy usage and/or multiple steps versus on/off. This component of load efficiency is quite often where the bulk of the energy savings result from.
An example of a sample calculation for HVAC replacement is as follows:
kWh Savings = [(base unit tons)(base efficiency kW/ton)(base avg LF)(avg DC) + (base hp supply fan)(conversion kW/hp)(base supply fan avg LF)( base supply fan avg DC)](baseline hours) - [(post-retrofit unit tons)( postretrofit efficiency kW/ton)(post-retrofit avg LF)(post-retrofit avg DC) + (post-retrofit hp supply fan)(conversion kW/hp)(post-retrofit supply fan avg LF)(post-retrofit supply fan avg DC)](post-retrofit hours) Control Systems
Energy savings associated with building controls were calculated based on reductions in equipment runtime, improved scheduling, and optimized system operation enabled by enhanced control strategies. Existing control capabilities were assessed during site walks, and proposed improvements were evaluated for their impact on HVAC and lighting operation. Savings estimates reflect reduced energy use resulting from improved occupancy scheduling, temperature setpoint management, and system optimization, and are based on industry standard engineering methodologies and operational assumptions.
The basis of the savings is the electrical load of the baseline HVAC unit multiplied by the baseline hours of operation minus the electrical load of the post-retrofit HVAC unit multiplied by the post-retrofit hours of operation. The savings are very similar to that from the HVAC replacement with the exception of the energy consumption of the HVAC does not change for each point of the part-load curve. The savings result from optimized sequence of operation, i.e., the hours are optimized for the OSA conditions and the fine-tuning of the temperature set-point results in the HVAC unit operating at a point lower in its load curve.
Electrical Systems
Transformer energy savings were calculated by evaluating reductions in no-load and loadrelated losses achieved through replacement of existing transformers with higher-efficiency units. Existing transformer sizes, loading conditions, and operating characteristics were reviewed during the site investigation.
The basis of the savings is the electrical load of the baseline transformer multiplied by the annual hours of operation of 8,760 hours minus the electrical load of the post-retrofit transformer multiplied by the post-retrofit annual hours of operation of 8,760 hours. The energy savings attributed to converting to a high efficiency transformer are from the core losses and from coil losses. Coil loss is relatively constant, independent of load on the

transformer; whereas coil losses will increase based upon the square of the current as the load on the transformer increases.
An example of a sample calculation for transformer replacement is as follows:
kWh Saving = EXISTING [(No Load Losses + ((On % Loading)^2*(Full Load Losses-No Load Losses))) / 1000]*(Operation Hours) + [(No Load Losses + ((OFF % Loading)^2*(Full Load Losses-No Load Losses))) / 1000]*(Operation Hours) – PROPOSED [(No Load Losses + ((On % Loading)^2*(Full Load Losses-No Load Losses))) / 1000]*(Operation Hours) + [(No Load Losses + ((OFF % Loading)^2*(Full Load Losses-No Load Losses))) / 1000]*( Operation Hours)
Renewable Energy Systems
Solar energy production and associated savings were modeled using industry standard software tools, including Energy Toolbase and HelioScope. Modeled annual energy production reflects local solar resource data, system design parameters, and anticipated performance losses. Energy production offsets grid-purchased electricity and was valued using current utility rates to determine projected cost savings. Solar production is incorporated into the overall project savings and guarantee.
The solar production and associated cost offset as a result of installing solar PV is quantified by looking at each hour of a year and comparing the energy load of the facility relative to the energy produced by the solar PV. This solar PV is then put relative to the cost of power to determine the actual cost offset.
Total Project Savings
For all the energy measures, once the kWh savings is calculated, it is converted to dollar savings by multiplying by the average utility rate for that meter.
Dollar Savings = (kWh Savings) x (Average Utility Baseline $/kWh Rate) The tables and graphs below give a breakdown of the savings for each site and measure.

Section 5: Rebates & Incentives
Inflation Reduction Act - ITC Rebate
The Inflation Reduction Act expanded access to the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for tax-exempt entities, including municipalities, through a Direct Pay (“Elective Pay”) mechanism. Under this provision, the City of Patterson may receive a cash payment from the U.S. Treasury equal to the ITC value for qualifying solar photovoltaic projects, despite having no federal tax liability. These funds are paid directly to the City and may be used at the City’s discretion.
Participation in the Direct Pay program is subject to eligibility requirements, deadlines, and milestone-based compliance, including project authorization, equipment procurement, and placed-in-service timelines. Delays in project approval or execution may impact incentive eligibility. This project is eligible for an ITC rebate of $785,914.
To maintain eligibility, project construction must begin by July 4, 2026, defined as having steel and racking installed for the solar arrays. Approval of the project on March 17 along with cooperation from the City of Patterson would allow sufficient time to complete required tasks, including contract execution, notice to proceed, engineering, permitting, soil testing, equipment procurement, and installation.
Utility Incentive with Turlock Irrigation District
Turlock Irrigation District (TID) offers a range of energy efficiency rebates and incentive programs for municipal customers aimed at reducing electricity demand and improving system efficiency. Incentives are generally structured to offset a portion of incremental project costs and are subject to TID program guidelines, pre-approval requirements, and available funding. This project is eligible for an incentive of $20,110, based on the following criteria set forth by the TID incentive program:
o Commercial lighting
▪ $0.10/kWh saved in the first year.
o Transformers
▪ Custom incentive of $0.08/kWh saved.
o Mechanical / HVAC
▪ Per unit rebate of $500/unit for the units 5 tons and below / Per ton rebate of $120/ton for the units above 5 tons.
*These rebates are reflected in the financial cash flow that has been presented to staff and in the Financial Analysis section below.

Section 6: Financial Analysis
The financial analysis for this project was developed to confirm that the recommended scope of work is economically viable and fully supported by guaranteed savings. Project implementation costs, equipment, installation, and associated soft costs are all included within this proposal. Utility rates, financing terms, and contract duration were incorporated to model annual project costs and savings over the life of the project. The analysis demonstrates that guaranteed savings are sufficient to fund project costs, providing budget neutrality to the City, while minimizing financial risk and avoiding the need for an upfront capital investment.
The project would be financed using a Tax-Exempt Lease Purchase (TELP) agreement. It allows public agencies to acquire essential equipment and infrastructure at low interest rates. TELP is the most widely used financing structure for public agencies and serves as an effective alternative to traditional debt financing (such as bonds or loans).
Currently the City pays for the following operation and maintenance contracts that would be eliminated through this ABS project:
• Alerton Controls:
o Annual Cost - $12,889
• Engie Solar O&M Agreement:
o PV Module Cleaning:
▪ Annual Cost: $15,378
▪ Annual Escalator: 5%
o Monitoring Services:
▪ Annual Cost: $4,380
▪ Annual Escalator: 4%
The current Solar O&M agreement is only for cleaning once per year. The City desires to have cleaning and preventative maintenance conducted twice per year to ensure the system is working efficiently. Thus, in just the first year the City would save $52,921 on these maintenance agreements as shown in the project cash flows.
ABS estimates that it will cost the City $15,000 annually for the solar O&M on the existing and new solar PV arrays. Thus, saving the City $37,921 in maintenance agreements costs in the first year.
The Solar ITC and TID Rebate provide additional savings to the city that ABS has not factored into the project payments. The rebates will appear as unencumbered, non-earmarked cash to the general fund.

The project has a total implementation price of $4,794,785. This price is fixed as ABS has a “no change order” policy. This provides the City with a guaranteed price and protection against mid-project change order cost increases.
The project has an estimated total gross savings of $16,510,750. Even after factoring interest expense, the project is cash flow positive every year and is expected to provide the city with $7,031,613 in net savings.

Section 7: Project Implementation
Project implementation will be delivered through a collaborative and structured process designed to minimize disruption to City operations while ensuring quality, safety, and performance. The implementation phase includes detailed design development, equipment procurement, construction planning, installation, commissioning, and coordination with City staff at each facility.
Planning and Kickoff:
At project initiation, ABS conducts comprehensive kickoff meetings with City leadership, facilities, and maintenance staff to confirm goals, priorities, and expectations. These meetings establish a shared understanding of project objectives, identify key stakeholders, and define communication channels. The outcome is a clear roadmap that aligns technical priorities with educational and operational goals.
Collaborative Design Development:
Throughout design development, ABS maintains continuous collaboration with staff. We hold regular weekly progress meetings to review scope, equipment specifications, and potential design alternatives, always incorporating staff input and preferences. Using advanced modeling and simulation tools, we illustrate the energy, cost, and performance impacts of distinct options, enabling the facility staff team to make fully informed decisions.
All revisions are documented in Procore, ensuring transparent version control and immediate access to the latest design information.
Implementation and Ongoing Coordination:
During construction, ABS provides weekly coordination meetings and field reports to update staff on schedule, cost, and quality milestones. We proactively address design refinements or unforeseen site conditions through documented change-management procedures, keeping staff informed and in control of all decisions.
Training, Transition, and Post-Project Support:
Upon completion, ABS develops comprehensive operations and maintenance (O&M) plans tailored to City facilities. We conduct direct training sessions and workshops for facility/maintenance personnel to ensure they are confident operating new systems and technologies. We also provide digital documentation and cloud-based resources—including as-built drawings, submittals, and warranty records—stored within the project portal for ongoing access.

Section 8: Savings Guarantee
ABS provides a contractual savings guarantee that ensures the project will meet the stated savings values. This provides the city protection against savings shortfall in any year and ensures that the project is cash flow positive annually. If verified savings fall short of the guaranteed amount, ABS is contractually obligated to reimburse the City for the difference.
This structure provides budget certainty, protects public funds, and allows the City to implement needed facility improvements with confidence that the project will perform as promised.
Every year, ABS will review the city’s monthly utility bills, solar production data, and conduct a monthly analysis. The analysis will be conducted for every meter included in this project.
The city will annually receive a detailed Measurement and Verification Report with the analysis and all supporting data.
Through taking a conservative approach to calculate annual savings, on past projects ABS has exceeded savings by 20-200%. Any additional savings outside of projected values will go directly to the City thus providing additional general fund relief. ABS has never fallen short on its savings guarantee on past projects, exemplifying the high-quality approach to its projects.
On this project, ABS will provide the City with a savings guarantee and a Measurement and Verification Report at no charge for the first 3 years following project completion.
The guarantee is based on a clearly defined pre-project energy baseline, standard engineering assumptions, and an agreed-upon Measurement and Verification (M&V) plan.
Additional information on the savings guarantee is provided within the “Measurement and Verification Agreement”, which has been submitted to City staff.

MEMO

Mike Willet, Assistant City Manager
From: Kevin Williams, Finance Director
Date: February 25, 2026
Subject: Accounting Treatment of IRS Inflation Reduction Act Tax Rebate for clean energy improvements
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created a new mechanism known as Elective Pay (also referred to as “Direct Pay”), which allows tax-exempt entities, such as state and local governments, to receive refund payments from the IRS equal to the value of eligible clean energy tax rebates. Elective Pay is treated as a voluntary nonexchange transaction under GASB 33 because the City receives value (a refundable rebate) without providing equal value in return.
Under GASB standards, revenue must be recognized when eligibility requirements are met.
Because each fund is a separate fiscal and accounting entity under GASB Codification Section 1100, the rebate must be recognized in the same funds that incurred the qualifying solar expenditures. This treatment is consistent with GASB principles and protects the City from any potential Proposition 218 concerns.
Applicable Accounting Standards
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the authority that sets Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for state and local governments in the United States.
Governments must follow the rules and standards that are set by GASB or risk a multitude of consequences, including:
Adverse Audit Opinions
The loss of grant, Federal, or State funding
Higher borrowing costs
Potential violations of State Law
Inconsistent or misleading financial information
Damage to public confidence through a lack of transparency and comparability The pertinent GASB rules and standards used in accessing how to account for the elective pay rebate are outlined below.
1. GASB Statement No. 33 – Voluntary Nonexchange Transactions The IRS elective pay rebate is treated as a voluntary nonexchange transaction with reimbursement type eligibility requirements. Under GASB 33:

Patterson, California 95363
Phone (209) 895-8000 Fax (209) 895-8059
8.1 Packet Pg. 557
Revenue is recognized when eligibility requirements are met (including incurring allowable costs) (Paragraphs 8-10 and 20-21).
Purpose restrictions do not affect the timing of recognition (paragraph 22) GASB 33 determines when revenue is recognized, but not which fund recognizes it.
2. GASB Fund Accounting Principles
(Codification 1100) - GASB’s Statement of Principles directs that governmental accounting “should be organized and operated on a fund basis,” defining a fund as “a fiscal and accounting entity with a self‑balancing set of accounts…segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities.” This supports recording the rebate in the fund(s) whose resources and activities are affected (i.e., the funds that incurred the qualifying costs or will pay the related financing). Because the eligibility requirement of the elective pay rebate is the incurrence of allowable solar costs, and those costs occur at the fund level, the related revenue must be recognized in those same funds
Proposition 218 Concerns
Proposition 218 (the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act”), approved by California voters in 1996, limits local governments’ authority to impose taxes, assessments, fees, and charges without voter approval. It added Articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. Proposition 218 brought about many changes for local governments, but the most important aspect of the proposition for this scenario is highlighted below:
1. Cost of Service Requirement:
Property-related fees cannot exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service and must be proportional to the benefit provided.
Since Proposition 218 requires Enterprise fund rates to reflect only the actual cost of providing service, allocating the tax rebate exclusively to the General Fund would violate this requirement.
The rebate represents cost offsets that properly belong in the Enterprise funds, which are financing the underlying improvements.
Recommended Allocation Approach
The City will allocate the IRS elective pay refund to the funds that incurred the qualifying expenditures using one of the following methods:
1. Proportional Cost Method
Allocation based on each fund’s share of eligible project cost or lease payments
2. Asset Location Method
Allocation based on the fund that owns or operates the facility where the solar improvements are installed.
If the refund is initially deposited into a single fund, interfund transfers will be processed to distribute the revenue appropriately.
Conclusion
8.1 Packet Pg. 558
This approach ensures compliance with GASB 33 and GASB Fund level accounting principles while maintaining fairness between funds. It also protects the City from potential Proposition 218 violations and ensures accurate financial reporting.

1 • ABS has done a comprehensive assessment of facilities – at no charge to the City. • Aging infrastructure - limited capital to replace, emergency repairs are expensive & inevitable. • TID rate increases are incoming. Without intervention, City will consume more energy at higher rates. • Capital improvements pay for themselves under a budget-neutral model. • City is eligible for $785,000 of free money (ITC) based on new solar installations. • Patterson is Preapproved for 100% Financing - No deposit required, no existing asset collateral required. • 100% of the Lease Payment is Guaranteed vs. the Usual 80 or 90% • ABS has never missed estimated savings and will pay the difference to the City if a shortfall occurs. • No Change Order Commitment - the original contract amount is the final contract amount.

Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC)
2 • The City currently allocates funds every year
to pay utility and operational costs – a
permanent ongoing obligation.
• For the same budget outlay, new energy
equipment and new/updated solar will
reduce the City’s utility and O&M costs.
• Without intervention, utility and operational
costs will continue to rise. Aging equipment
will consume more energy at higher rates,
require more frequent repairs, and eventually
fail, requiring emergency funding.
