SERVICE PLAN

Contractor shall, to the satisfaction of the , perform the following services and be compensated as outlined below:

EXHIBIT B – BUDGET AND SCHEDULE OF DELIVERABLES
Project # and Name: 4 - Resilient Homes for Healthy Communities Strategy: Solar Installation and Energy Efficiency Lead Entity: GRID Alternatives Bay Area
Project Description: The Resilient Homes for Healthy Communities project will install 875 kilowatts (KW) of solar photovoltaic systems on approximately 250 single-family homes in the TCC Project Area. In addition, GRID will coordinate energy efficiency measures with MCE to amplify impact and savings to at least 216 solar install clients as well as additional assessed clients. GRID Alternatives will coordinate outreach efforts through the TCC Community Engagement Plan and workforce training efforts through the TCC Workforce Development Plan.

Operations & Maintenance Plan: GRID will issue a labor warranty on the single-family solar installation and make available copies of the manufacturer’s warranties for the inverter(s) and solar panels. GRID informs homeowners that they are not responsible for repairs or damage to the roof related to the installation of the systems. After the warranty expires, homeowners are responsible for any modifications and/or reinstallations. The warranty is 10 years on single-family projects. GRID provides homeowners with a Solar Electric System User Guide, instructions on how to care for their system, answers to common maintenance and repairs questions, and instructions on how to make a service call. Solar is very low maintenance and typically there is little that homeowners need to do to care for their system.

Reimbursement Conditions: Grantee will not be reimbursed for Task 2 (implementation) until all readiness deliverables within Task 1 are received, approved, and notified through an updated readiness memo provided by the TCC Grant Manager.

a. Lead Entity must notify the property owner using at least two different forms of communication, such as email, telephone, and/or a written letter. The chosen communication forms will be dependent on availability of contact information and communication preferences of the client, including language preferences or any necessary accommodations. Lead Entity must ensure the notification process starts at least 60 calendar days prior to the end of the solar installation agreement which provides and allows for free repairs, insurance, and warranties during a specific agreement term (e.g., 20 to 25 years), at the end of which the ownership turns over to the TPO entity.
b. If contact is not established with the property owner through the process identified above within 30 calendar days prior to the expiration of initial solar installation agreement term, Lead Entity must attempt to make contact in-person with the property owner. Notification in-person will consist of either one visit to the home with a written notification left at the home if contact isn’t made with the property owner, or, a notification via certified mail requiring a signature from the property owner. Lead Entity will make a good faith effort to carry out more than one attempt of in-person notification.
c. If, after Lead Entity has taken all of the above-required actions and the property owner has not responded or is unable to be found or contacted, the property owner's solar agreement shall be automatically renewed in accordance with the original solar installation agreement and the property owner shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions of that agreement. ii. In the event of a change in ownership, the original solar installation agreement signed by the homeowner should be made available to any future owner of the home through the real estate disclosures and transfer process.

The fact that
insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin .

The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.

Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.

Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.

Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.

Reporting Requirements

Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.
