Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Staff seeks City Council approval to proceed with cost-saving energy retrofits to City- owned DOU facilities as committed to by the City’s 2040 General Plan and the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, both adopted by City Council on February 27, 2024. This report would authorize staff to proceed in partnership with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and their
File ID: 2024-00680 4/2/2024 Consent Item 5.
contractors for efficient project delivery.
SMUD entered into an agreement with TRC Companies, Inc. (TRC) on March 2, 2020, to administer the Complete Energy Solutions (CES) program and act as the program representative on SMUD’s behalf (Agreement Number 4500120070). As the administrator, TRC and its sub-consultant, Brighton Energy, conduct building audits and provides energy efficiency and electrification proposals that identify proposed equipment specifications, anticipated energy savings, project costs, and rebates.
To be eligible for the proposed project cost and rebates, work must be completed by participating program contractors that have met program requirements. A list of current program contractors can be found in Exhibit A. Participating contractors are required to provide specified program equipment and meet the total project cost identified in the TRC proposal. The City has previously used the CES program to perform LED lighting retrofits on community centers, libraries, and most recently the Combined Water Treatment Plant (CWTP) completed in 2024.
Following the success of the CWTP LED lighting retrofit work, staff has chosen the City water treatment plants, select reservoirs, and sump stations with 24-hour operations as the next group of priority facilities to retrofit. No-obligation building audits were initiated on five Utilities-owned stations.
A list of the facilities can be found in Exhibit B. City staff accompanied a CES program representative to perform the audits starting in July of 2023. The final audit proposals on these five City facilities were received by staff in December of 2023. The site-specific proposals included LED lighting retrofits for all five facilities. The proposal for one of the audited treatment plants is attached in Exhibit C as a sample. The proposals provide customers with the ability to pick and choose one or a combination of the proposed efficiency and electrification options. While not included in the proposals received, proposals for a facility could also include options for electrification of hot water heaters and installation of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) in addition to the lighting and HVAC components.
The recommended authorization will allow the City to participate in SMUD’s turnkey CES program for lighting efficiency and electrification retrofits on City-owned DOU facilities, as funding allows, for the duration of the SMUD/TRC contract, currently set to expire in March of 2025. By participating in the program, the City can use a CES program contractor to construct LED retrofits, electric replacements of HVAC systems and hot water heaters, and electric vehicle charging at a competitive project cost.
Additional financial incentives are available through the program to reduce costs, including additional program rebates and guaranteed project costs. Suspending competitive bidding allows the City to contract with SMUD’s program installers, gaining guaranteed program pricing to complete improvements at a lower cost. Construction contracts with approved vendors for each phase will be included in future City Council reports requesting City Council approval when required by City Code Chapter 3.60.
Policy Considerations: The recommendation in this report is in accordance with City Code Section
3.60.170(D), which states that the restrictions and provisions of City Code requiring the award of
File ID: 2024-00680 4/2/2024 Consent Item 5.
contracts by competitive bidding shall not apply when, upon two-thirds vote of the City Council, it is determined that it is in the best interest of the City to suspend competitive bidding for any contract.
The proposed process is outlined in the City administrative policy for procurement of public contracts (AP-4002):
· The City’s standard competitive bidding process requires bidding and contract award to a single contractor based on price alone, provided the contractor meets the minimum qualifications specified to perform the work. The City has no leeway to distinguish between bidders that meet minimal qualifications and more qualified bidders that exceed the minimum qualifications.
· Using the proposed alternative process will allow the City to evaluate and retain the most qualified contractor based on a combination of experience, past performance, safety, customer/public care, communication, coordination, quality assurance, and other relevant factors. This process can provide the best value to DOU’s ratepayers. The proposed process is outlined in the City administrative policy for procurement of public contracts (AP-4002).
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: The action is exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301. The action involves the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The exemption covers interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances; and similar facilities; restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as earthquake, landslide, or flood. The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under Article 19 of CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, existing facilities. No environmental review is necessary.
Sustainability: As part of the City’s 2040 General Plan and the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), the City is committed to fostering improved energy efficiency and supporting sustainability in government operations and community activities. Energy efficiency audits and retrofits are implementation actions in the CAAP. Lighting retrofits will replace current lighting with higher-quality LED lighting and controls that save energy, reduce maintenance costs, and provide enhanced lighting quality. Electrification retrofits to replace gas-fired HVAC equipment will also support the City’s goal of reducing municipal energy use is a key strategy to reduce the City’s municipal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This recommendation implements City Council-adopted goals for energy efficiency.
File ID: 2024-00680 4/2/2024 Consent Item 5.
The 2040 General Plan Policy Goal ERC-9 calls for the City to improve energy efficiency of City facilities to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from internal operations. Retrofits to existing facilities are the primary strategy to meet energy reduction targets for existing City buildings.
The proposed project is consistent with the 2040 General Plan as it improves infrastructure reliability, which will ensure continued safe operation and maintenance of the existing facility.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended action will suspend competitive bidding to allow for the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee to enter into future contracts with SMUD’s CES program contractors for lighting efficiency and electrification retrofits in DOU-owned buildings, plants, and facilities. Replacing lights with LED lamps and new LED fixtures will reduce electricity costs and the City’s greenhouse gas emissions. The lighting retrofits of the five utilities facilities that have been audited this year are estimated to reduce the City’s energy consumption by 1.8 million kilowatt-hours per year. Newer LED fixtures also have a longer lifespan with lower maintenance costs, reducing the workload burden on DOU operations and maintenance staff. Replacing natural gas-powered hot water heaters and HVAC systems with all electric options will further reduce the City’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Financial Considerations: The DOU Energy Management Program has a total budget of $1.2M to implement lighting efficiency and electrification CIP retrofits at DOU facilities through participation in the SMUD CES Program.
The recommendations in this report are expected to have a beneficial financial impact for the City.
Streamlining the contracting process for routine retrofit work relieves some administrative burden in the contracting process while the major energy savings (estimated 1.6 million kWh saved from lighting projects alone) will be a net financial benefit because of energy savings by improving efficiency at our facilities with the highest energy usage. In accordance with Prop 218, the projects at DOU facilities intended for participation in the CES program will not use general fund or Measure U resources.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
Background: The City has had success using the CES program in the past. In 2017, the City completed an investment-grade energy audit (IGA) of City community centers, clubhouses, and libraries with the Energy Efficiency Phase II Retrofit Project through the Energy Reinvestment Program (C13001900). The IGA was a detailed energy audit that evaluated the financial impact of
File ID: 2024-00680 4/2/2024 Consent Item 5.
capital improvements and return on investing in energy conservation opportunities. After completion of the IGA, the City had an independent lighting audit and proposal performed through the SMUD CES program for Samuel C. Pannell Community Center (Pannell CC). The lighting measures recommended in the IGA for the community center had a total cost of $237,911 with a 13.5-year simple payback while the measures recommended by the SMUD CES program were completed with a total cost of $76,539 with a 4-year simple payback, providing a 68% cost savings for lighting retrofits. Because of the savings provided by the CES program at Pannell CC, staff pursued participation in the SMUD CES program and received approval from City Council on April 10, 2018, for lighting retrofits on up to 24 libraries and community centers (Motion 2018-0095). City staff were able to complete lighting retrofits at 22 of the identified locations, resulting in a 58% cost savings project-wide compared to the original IGA proposal. The 22 completed retrofits are estimated to have reduced the City’s emissions by 647 tons CO2 per year, which is equivalent to 137 cars taken off the road.
Most recently, the DOU Combined Water Treatment Plant was the subject of a major LED lighting upgrade in 2024 resulting in annual energy savings of 144,000 kilowatt-hours annually.
