FISCAL IMPACT:
The originally estimated cost of the Police Station/Fire Station 181 energy efficiency upgrades was $568,500. Staff secured the Revolving Savings Fund (RSF) Loan to pay for upfront construction costs and have secured SCE On-Bill Financing (OBF) funds. Due to rising costs, the mechanical portion of the project was put on hold and the RSF funds were returned to the program in the amount of $348,861. This leaves $219,639 left on the RSF Loan for the lighting portion of the CIP.
Once the project is completed and SCE has reviewed and verified the project installation report, then the City will receive the OBF Check to pay the RSF Loan remaining balance of $219,639. The OBF will be paid back through the monthly energy savings on the bills. Once the loan is paid in full, then the City will see the energy savings, see Table 1 and 2 for details of the funds.

PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On June 3, 2024, City Council approved Reso No. 2024-82 to amend FY 2023-24 CIP budget and approve a loan agreement with SoCALRen Revolving Savings fund loan and create new CIP project.
DISCUSSION:
In June of 2024, staff created a CIP project to do energy efficiency upgrades at the Police/Fire Department 181. The project originally included the lighting and the mechanical upgrades for the project, but due to rising costs from the engineers estimates, the mechanical portion of the project was put on hold and the upfront construction costs from the RSF loan for that portion has been returned back to LA County.
Allegiance Electric was issued a contract on July 17, 2025. Once the project began, the contractor began replacing lights in the interior first floor of police department and fire, interior basement floor, the jail, exterior lights, and lighting controls, and found some fixtures were missing, and the controls cost had increased significantly. The contractor issued a change order request for the 22 missing canopy fixtures, 8 missing troffer fixtures, and to install lighting controls at 249 devices. Prices have increased with the supplier as of March 27, 2026, and therefore an additional $56,928 is needed to complete the project.
Staff is recommending reappropriation of the needed funds to cover increasing the contract with Allegiance Electrical to a total of $276,568 to complete the project.
