REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Approving and Adopting the Updated Unclassified Salary Plan
BACKGROUND
Sections 4 and 6 of the City’s Personnel and Salary Resolution require City Council approval of new or revised classifications. The City is proposing to retitle and revise the class specification, and modify the salary range for Parks Construction, Maintenance, and Repair Manager (Job code 130).
The classification will be retitled to Parks Operations and Maintenance Manager (Job Code 130). As part of this action the Parks Maintenance and Operations Supervisor (Job Code 131) classification will be deleted since it is obsolete. These modifications were reviewed by Unit 9 prior to bringing this request forward to Council.
In accordance with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement with the Unclassified Miscellaneous Management (Unit 9), the City is bringing forward a request to adjust the salary range of Principal Planner (Job Code 143) based on the MOU compaction provision. Under this provision, supervisory-subordinate classifications must maintain a 5.0% salary differential. The proposed action will reflect the changes on the Unclassified Salary Plan effective August 16, 2026.
City Council approved various actions on the Unclassified Salary Plan at the July 14, 2026 Council meeting. Due to an administrative error, the salary range for the Battalion Chief - 24 Hours (Job Code 036S) and the Assistant Director (Job Code 133) were not merged into the Unclassified Salary Plan.
The proposed action will incorporate the revisions on the Unclassified Salary Plan effective July 5, 2026.
Section 9 of the Personnel and Salary Resolution requires City Council approval of compensation plans for classified and unclassified positions. In addition, the City of Santa Clara contracts with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to provide retirement benefits for employees in both classified and unclassified positions. When the City makes modifications to the salary schedules for its classified, unclassified or as-needed positions, the City Council must approve and adopt the publicly available salary schedules to comply with the CalPERS requirements stated in California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 570.5. If the City Council does not approve these resolutions, the City will be non-compliant with CalPERS record keeping and reporting requirements.
The City of Santa Clara is a contracting agency with CalPERS and is required to comply with its requirements. The proposed Council action satisfies these applicable requirements.

proposed to be updated to better reflect the current duties of the job. The title is proposed to be retitled to Parks Operations and Maintenance Manager (Job Code 130) to assist in recruitment efforts. There are 3 budgeted positions and all positions are vacant. As a cost savings measure, the salary is proposed to be adjusted from $155,118.48 - $200,718.60 to $142,750.80 - $184,752.36. The proposed salary range is in alignment with comparator agency salaries for comparable work.
As part of this action the Parks Maintenance and Operations Supervisor (Job Code 131) classification will be deleted since it is obsolete and the duties are incorporated into the Parks Operations and Maintenance Manager (Job Code 130) class specification.
Parks Operations and Maintenance Manager (Job Code 130)- with an annual salary range of $142,750.80 - $184,752.36: Under the general direction, the Parks Operations and Maintenance Manager assists the Division Manager in planning, organizing, and supervising activities of one or more Park Maintenance sections of the Parks Division, and performs related duties as assigned. Incumbents are responsible for the administration and supervision of construction, maintenance and repair activities of one or more of the following sections, including but not limited to: Park Landscaping and Buildings, Athletic Fields, Sports Courts, Aquatic Facilities, Dog Parks, and Playgrounds. Incumbents assist in identifying needs and developing maintenance projects and assigning work to crews within the unit or section to which the manager is assigned. Incumbents are expected to perform office administrative duties, and to monitor the progress of work in the field. Incumbents may be required to participate as a working supervisor during emergencies. Performs related duties as assigned.
Approve Revised Salary Ranges to Various Unclassified Positions The Unclassified Miscellaneous Management (Unit 9) MOU has a compaction provision for supervisory-subordinate classifications that must maintain an approximate 5.0% salary differential.
The top of the range for the Principal Planner (Job Code 143) classification is being adjusted by approximately 10.8% to maintain at least an approximate 5.0% salary differential with their subordinate classifications. The annual salary range is proposed to be adjusted from $167,537.88 - $216,795.72 to $167,537.88 - $240,267.96. Individual employee salaries will only be adjusted if they are directly impacted by having a 5.0% salary differential from direct reports. Currently, there is 1 vacant position and 1 filled Principal Planner position. No incumbent salaries will be adjusted at this time.
At the July 14, 2026 City Council meeting, Council approved the following actions:
1) Tentative Agreement between the City of Santa Clara and Unclassified Fire management (Unit 9B); and
2) Merge of various Assistant Director classifications.
There was an administrative error on the Unclassified Salary plan which inadvertently did not update the salary range for Battalion Chief - 24 Hours (Job Code 036S) or the Assistant Director (Job Code 133) merge on the Unclassified Salary Plan. These items are being brought forward to memorialize the revisions on the Unclassified Salary Plan effective July 5, 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 8/14/2026

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Note and File the City Auditor’s Office Report on the Audit of Silicon Valley Power’s Power Purchase Agreement Process
BACKGROUND
Per Section 909 of the City Charter, and SCCC Section 2.29.010, the City Auditor’s duties and responsibilities include conducting in-depth financial and performance audits, overseeing the City’s performance management system, auditing and approving all bills, invoices, payrolls, demands or charges against the City government before payment and, with the advice of the City Attorney, making reports to the City Council as to the regularity, legality and correctness of such claims, demands or charges. The City Auditor’s Office conducts its work under the auditing standards prescribed by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). The IIA International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) require the City Auditor to present the results of any audits to the Audit Committee.
DISCUSSION
In 2022, the City Auditor’s Office engaged Baker Tilly US, LLP (Baker Tilly) to conduct an annual citywide risk assessment and prepare an annual audit work plan for the next five years. The risk assessment process involves identifying and measuring risks associated with the audit universe (a list of specific departments, functions, processes, programs, etc. that can be subject to an audit, i.e. auditable units). Risk is defined as “the possibility of an event or condition occurring that will have an impact on the ability of an organization to achieve its objectives.” The risk rating attributed to a particular department or function reflects the theoretical potential for loss, rather than any actual loss history.
As part of the ongoing risk assessment process, the Auditor’s Office and Baker Tilly rated the power purchase agreement process as high risk based on inherent risks and specific information gathered, including:
· Budget and high dollar financial commitment.
· Detailed federal and state regulatory environment with firm reporting deadlines. · Evaluation and selection of agreements.
· Non-compliance with agreement requirements.
· Review process for potentially inaccurate supplier invoices. · Staffing levels and higher than average employee turnover City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 8/14/2026

26-551 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
Accordingly, the Auditor’s Office partnered with Baker Tilly to perform an internal audit of the power purchase agreement process. The objectives of this audit were to:
1) Evaluate the process of assessing and entering into power purchase agreements. 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over management of power purchase agreements.
Attached is the City Auditor’s Office report containing the analysis, results and recommendations from the audit.
On April 1, 2026, City staff and Baker Tilly, LLC presented the results of the audit to the Audit Committee for input and approval. The results of the audit were presented by the Auditor’s Office, along with Baker Tilly, and Silicon Valley Power made a presentation of how they are implementing corrective actions to address the issues raised in the report. The Audit Committee engaged in a discussion with staff who were in support of the improvements suggested. After discussion, the Audit Committee accepted the City Auditor’s Office Report on the Audit of the Power Purchase Agreement Process and recommended that this report be forwarded for note and file to the full Council at a future Joint Council and Authorities Concurrent and Stadium Authority Meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environment Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Costs associated with the preparation of this report are included in the City’s FY 2024/25 and 2025/26 Adopted Operating Budget.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Manager’s Office and City Attorney’s Office.

Purpose of the Audit
Baker Tilly US, LLP (Baker Tilly) provides internal audit services to the City of Santa Clara (the City) and has conducted a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Audit based on the signed Statement of Work SOW No. 2023- 03 prepared in accordance with the 2023-2024 audit plan approved by the Audit Committee of the City. The objectives of this audit were to:
1) Evaluate the process of assessing and entering into power purchase agreements. 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over management of power purchase agreements.
Report Highlights
Finding 1: Evaluation and Selection (page 10)
The SVP was not able to provide adequate support for four of the sampled PPAs to demonstrate that a supplier and product were evaluated against specific criteria important to the SVP before entering into the PPA because the documents were no longer available as the PPAs were entered into several years ago.
Management should develop a formal evaluation and selection process for all potential PPAs. All evaluation documents should be maintained for transparency, in accordance with the City’s record retention policy.
Finding 2: Contract Administration and Management (page 11) Based on the interviews with the SVP team, it was found that there was no standard process for administering and managing PPAs. Out of six PPAs reviewed, five PPAs entered into were drafted by developers or JPAs.
According to the SVP management, the SVP team is currently in the process of standardizing the PPA process and contract template.
Management should continue to standardize the PPA process and contract template and complete the implementation. Once a comprehensive PPA template is completed, the instructions for creating a draft PPA from a template and finalizing it with appropriate review and approvals should be documented. If using a supplier provided agreement, a detailed review should be performed using a checklist of all City requirements to ensure all requirements are included. Additionally, the SVP should implement a formal supplier performance monitoring procedure in which suppliers are periodically assessed for compliance and overall performance.
Finding 3: Invoice Verification and Payment (page 13)
Our discussions with the SVP team revealed the following:
For one of our sampled invoices, the supporting documents for the payment approval did not demonstrate how the discrepancy between the SVP’s tracking sheets and the independent system operator’s reports were resolved properly.
For NCPA invoices, there is no written communication from the Division Manager of Settlement to the Division Manager of the SVP Resources Group indicating that the settlement portion has been validated prior to payment.
SVP should implement a standardized process for reconciling and approving invoices for payment.
Finding 4: Reporting (page 14)
Although the RPS report is reviewed by another individual prior to submission, the review is not formally documented.
The Assistant Director (or another qualified individual) should review and approve all required reports prior to submission to the California Energy Commission to prevent inaccurate reporting and to ensure all state requirements are met. The review should be evidenced in writing (signature). (G bakertilly
2 Introduction
Objective
The objectives of this review were to:
1) Evaluate the process of assessing and entering into power purchase agreements. 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over management of power purchase agreements.
Background
Silicon Valley Power (SVP)
The SVP is the City’s electric utility department and provides electricity to City residents and businesses. The City’s website states, “SVP provides power to 59,518 customers at rates 43 to 63 percent below neighboring communities. SVP is the only full-service, vertically integrated publicly owned utility in Silicon Valley owning generation, transmission, and distribution assets.” The SVP is recognized as a Smart Energy Provider from the American Public Power Association, as well as by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its Green Power program, which is included on the nation-wide Green Power Communities List.
California Policy
In 1996, the Electric Utility Industry Restructuring Act (Assembly Bill 1890) created the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) that has the responsibility to maintain overall electricity system reliability. The CAISO controls and operates the state’s transmission system to schedule delivery of electric power supplies, ensuring all standards for transmission service are met, and allows market participants to buy, sell, and transmit electricity. The CAISO makes various market and operations data/reports available. SVP is a metered subsystem in the CAISO and must participate in the CAISO energy market.
The State of California has set requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, with utilities increasing their procurement of renewable energy resources to 50% by 2030. Senate Bill (SB) 100, passed in 2021, requires eligible renewable energy resources and zero-carbon resources to supply 60% of retail electricity sales by 2030 and 100% by 2045. SB 100 also required the Energy Commission (CEC), Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and Air Resources Board (CARB) to use programs under existing laws to achieve 100 percent clean electricity and issue a joint policy report on SB 100 by 2021 and every four years thereafter. The SVP is required to disclose the mix of energy sources used to provide electricity service during the previous calendar year1. The SVP also reports its compliance with Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS)2 requirements.
SVP Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
Renewable energy can be purchased directly from a renewable electricity generator under a long-term PPA that is a contract used to execute and document the terms of the purchase between a customer, such as a city or utility, and a seller, such as an existing developer of an energy project. The ways SVP enters into PPA’s include the following:
1. Formal RFP by buyer
2. Formal RFP by seller
3. Direct proposal between counterparties
4. Participation in a regulated program (i.e. WAPA/PURPA) An RFP is recommended for PPAs3 to clearly define objectives and requirements and to receive competitive bids.
1 The Power Content Label (PCL) is an annual report required under the CEC’s Power Source Disclosure program. 2 The CEC administers the RPS program that is a significant initiative aimed at advancing renewable energy adoption. 3 U.S. Department of Energy, “Guide to Purchasing Green Power”, page 6-10, https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2018- 08/documents/guide-purchasing-green-power-6.pdf

INTRODUCTION
3 Under long-term power purchase agreements, SVP purchases wholesale electric power through its participation in joint power agencies4 (NCPA5 and MSR PPA6), from various members of the Western System Power Pool (WSPP)7, from the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA)8, and other sources to provide the City’s electric utility customers with reliable electricity.
At the time this audit was commenced, the SVP had the following twenty-six (26) active PPAs to purchase power generated from a renewable or carbon neutral source.

South Feather Water & Power – Hydro, JPA (December 19, 2021) Camp Far West – Hydro, JPA (April 21, 2022)
Management of PPAs
The management of a PPA involves several key entities working together to ensure successful implementation and compliance:
Buyer (Offtaker - utility company, corporation, or government entity) manages the financial aspects, contractual obligations, and compliance with the terms of the agreement. SVP has two generation portfolios, a set of resources that SVP schedules as a market participant and NCPA schedules the remaining resources into the CAISO market.
Seller (Developer/Generator – independent power producer or a renewable energy project developer) manages the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project. Regulatory Agencies oversee compliance with state or national regulations related to renewable energy procurement and may review and approve PPAs to ensure alignment with policy goals. Independent System Operator (ISO) manages the transmission grid, operates the energy markets, and ensures reliable electricity delivery.
Supplier invoice payment process
A brief description of the typical non-NCPA/JPA PPA invoice process is as follows:
The CAISO produces market settlements and bills/pays SVP based on results. The SVP receives invoice/payment based on previous day’s activities and coordinates with the Resources Scheduling Day Ahead and Real-Time desks to confirm settlements process. Internal spreadsheets as well as third-party software is used to validate invoices. The SVP uses ZEMA9 software model to calculate expected invoice amount and compares to PPA invoice.
The Principal Power Analyst approves all non-NCPA/JPA PPA invoices.
The invoices for the PPAs entered into through NCPA (NCPA PPAs) are processed differently as described below:
9 ZEMA is market data management solution developed by ZEMA Global Data Corporation (Formerly ZE PowerGroup Inc.).
INTRODUCTION
5 NCPA manages settlement, invoicing, and reconciliation with CAISO as well as the PPA vendor. The Division Manager of the SVP Resources Group approves the invoice. The Division Manager of Settlement reconciles the NCPA All Resources Bill to ensure accuracy of PPA portion.
If any discrepancy is found, the Division Manager of Settlement works with NCPA directly to resolve any issues. Any errors agreed upon by NCPA and SVP Settlement are then credited/debited in a future ARB.
During the FY2022 risk assessment conducted for an audit planning purpose, Baker Tilly rated the power purchase agreements as high risk based on inherent risks such as noncompliance with the agreement requirements and inaccurate supplier invoices.
To assess the internal controls over the PPA management to mitigate risks, Baker Tilly reviewed three (3) operational areas of PPAs: procurement, contract management, and payment.
Scope
The scope of this engagement includes interviews and document reviews regarding the internal controls over management of the SVP’s active PPAs as of August 2023 and associated supplier invoices received during fiscal year 2023.
Methodology
To achieve the audit objectives, Baker Tilly performed the following procedures. Gathered information to understand the environment under review including review of policies and procedures, PPAs, and reports.
Conducted interviews with key process owners and management including Division Managers of the Settlements and Resources Groups, Risk Manager, City Attorney, Resource Analyst, and Accounting Clerk.
Assessed risks and identified controls in place based on process walkthroughs and review of policy documents.
Performed testing of key controls around energy procurement/contracting, contract management, and invoice processing.
o Judgmentally selected six (6) PPAs, based on the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) small sampling guidance, for detailed control testing to include a variety of resource types (solar, wind, hydro) as well as selecting PPAs that were entered into through different means (through an RFP, through project developer outreach, and with a JPA). o For the selected six PPAs, tested all supplier invoices for three months (December 2022, March 2023, and June 2023).
Identified gaps in controls and recommendations for improvements.
Organizational Strengths
During this audit activity, we observed certain strengths of SVP. Key strengths include the following:
The City employs a structured Front Office / Back Office / Middle Office structure for all its energy transactions to ensure that the different aspects of the transaction process are carried out by independent parts of the organization and that there are internal controls and oversight in place.
INTRODUCTION
6 The City has been actively procuring renewable power for several years, and over that time City staff, SVP, and City Attorney has developed expertise with the PPA solicitation, negotiation, and management process.
Baker Tilly greatly appreciates the support of the SVP Resources Division, Settlement Division, and Risk Management Division in conducting this audit activity.
Thank you!
7 Detailed Analysis
To evaluate SVP's control environment, Baker Tilly created a Risk and Controls Matrix (RCM) based on documentation reviews and stakeholder interviews. The RCM was created to document known risks and mitigation practices based on the SVP’s processes and internal controls currently in place and identify opportunities and improvement areas. The RCM was created with the emphasis on the three focus areas that include procurement, contract management, and payment. The matrix documents risks that cover each of the focused operational areas. In addition, the RCM was used to plan the testing for this audit by identifying the risks associated with the current PPA processes, controls in place, and control gaps.

10 Audit Results
Finding 1: Evaluation and Selection Process
Out of six PPAs reviewed, one was entered into through an RFP issued by SVP, two were entered into through an RFP issued by the JPA, and three had no RFPs because developers (sellers/suppliers) approached the SVP or JPAs directly. The SVP was not able to provide adequate support for four of the sampled PPAs to demonstrate that a supplier and product were evaluated against specific criteria important to the SVP before entering into the PPA. According to the Resource Analyst, the SVP’s practice is to create and use evaluation criteria for each PPA project, however, the evaluation documents for these four PPAs are no longer available due to the selected PPAs being entered into several years ago.
Per discussion with Santa Clara management, the City Attorney reviews and approves all PPA terms and conditions during negotiations including reviewing that California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements are met. There is no formal documentation of this review.
The SVP policy10 requires analyzing the financial impact of contracts and ensuring all other parties to contracts are financially sound, qualified, and capable of performance. The policy also requires keeping complete records11.
The RFP process necessitates the SVP to define the objectives and requirements for a purchase and enables the SVP to receive competitive bids to be evaluated against specific criteria. Without solicitation, the SVP cannot ensure that a PPA helps the SVP achieve its goals at an optimum level.
Recommendation
Management should develop a formal evaluation and selection process for all potential PPAs. All evaluation documents, including financial credit evaluations, should be maintained for transparency in accordance with the City’s record retention policy.
Management should address the following, among others, in order to align with best practices12,13:
The SVP should implement a standardized RFP development process for a PPA to ensure all required specifications are clearly defined in an RFP and used to evaluate bids received. A formal RFP policy for PPAs should be created detailing guidelines to determine the requirements to be included and identifying the individuals who need to approve the RFP before issuance (City Attorney, Risk Manager, City Manager, etc.).
The process for PPAs procured through non-solicitation should also be formally established and include methods for evaluation, selection, and approval of a supplier. Potential suppliers should be vetted for reliability and compliance with relevant laws and regulations to prevent entering into agreements with unreliable or nonconforming suppliers. The approved PPA procurement policies should be periodically reviewed and updated, as necessary. 10 [1] and [2] of the Section 6.8 Electric Contract Administration, SVP Market Risk Management Regulations [As Revised by Risk Oversight Committee, October 23, 2012]

AUDIT RESULTS
11 Management Response
Responsible Department(s): Resources
Action Plan:
A procedural guideline for evaluating potential PPA’s will be developed and stored on a network drive. This guideline should be flexible enough to accommodate the uniqueness of projects and proposals while applying meaningful controls to ensure an effective balance.
Currently, the Resources department has baseline evaluation templates (excel models) that are used to evaluate the economic value of PPA proposals. However, these are not stored in a formal location and the updates to them occur from time to time which could cause confusion. SVP will establish an internal SharePoint site or similar tool that will serve as a resource database for PPA templates, guidelines, and related documents.
Additionally, a file repository will be established for each PPA that includes all supporting documentation.
City Code section 2.105.090 gives enterprise funds like electric and water the exception to the City’s centralized procurement for electrical power. The market for PPAs is dynamic and fast-moving. As such, there are various methods for entering into PPAs, and Management believes that there are significant internal controls for PPA procurement and payment in place, which can be enhanced as per Baker Tilly’s recommendations. Additionally, it is important to note that the document from EPA referenced in the recommendation as best practices for green power purchasing steps are geared towards retail purchasers such as commercial/industrial/corporate electricity customers. Projects at the wholesale electric utility level require different considerations when being evaluated for procurement. They are more difficult to commodify due to the unique value proposition of where they are electrically located, the technologies involved, the status of its site control, interconnection, environmental permitting, etc. The different statuses also mean projects can be available to the market at different times, therefore, if an RFP happens to launch outside of a high value project’s availability, SVP could end up missing out on that opportunity. For example, SVP has launched 2 renewable energy RFP’s through its Joint Powers Agency, NCPA, and the resulting bids were less favorable than some of the offers presented by project owners outside of the timing of those RFP’s. Because of this, it is important to maintain the flexibility to use the most effective and appropriate procurement path for any given situation.
Estimated Completion Date: December 202414
Finding 2: Contract Administration and Management
Based on the interviews with the SVP team, it was found that there was no standard process for administering and managing power purchase agreements. Out of six PPAs reviewed, five PPAs entered into were drafted by the developers or JPAs. According to the SVP management, the SVP team has been working with the City Attorney’s Office to standardize the PPA process and contract template. The SVP policy15 requires ensuring that contracts are written properly. While suppliers may often initiate the initial draft of the PPA, buyers can benefit from developing their own PPA template for the following reasons:
Customization – With a tailored template, buyers can ensure it aligns precisely with their organizational requirements.
Efficiency – An in-house template streamlines process by avoiding starting from scratch each time and saves time and effort.
Control – Buyers maintain control over the language, clauses, and provisions and emphasize critical aspects such as pricing structures and risk allocation. Consistency – Standardized terms and conditions ensures consistency across PPAs and enhance clarity.
14 Please note that the internal audit has not yet verified the completion of the corrective actions. Verification will be conducted during the follow-up audit on all corrective actions outlined in this report. 15 [3] of the Section 6.8 Electric Contract Administration, SVP Market Risk Management Regulations [As Revised by Risk Oversight Committee, October 23, 2012]
AUDIT RESULTS
12 Legal Review – Buyers’ legal teams can review and refine the template to ensure compliance with regulations and best practices.
Additionally, a formal process is not in place to monitor suppliers’ compliance with the requirements in the PPAs.
Recommendation
Management should continue to standardize the PPA process and contract template and complete the implementation. Once a comprehensive PPA template is completed, the instructions for creating a draft PPA from a template and finalizing it with appropriate review and approvals should be documented. The SVP should strive to use their drafted PPA template rather than the supplier provided agreement to ensure all required information is included while avoiding the additional time needed to review and approve all the terms and conditions in the supplier provided agreement. This will also help ensure consistency in managing PPAs. If using a supplier provided agreement, a detailed review should be performed using a checklist of all City requirements to ensure all requirements are included.
Additionally, the SVP should implement a formal supplier performance monitoring procedure in which suppliers are periodically assessed for compliance and overall performance, including ensuring the suppliers are in compliance with the following:
Development timelines
Commercial operations deadline criteria
Generation requirements
Environmental and legal requirements
Detailed reviews of specific PPAs, suppliers, or issues should be conducted on as needed basis. Each PPA should be reviewed in detail periodically to ensure alignment with the City’s goals and strategies and changing market conditions.
Management Response
Responsible Department(s): Resources
Action Plan:
As noted, Management is in the process of creating standard forms to build off as starting negotiation points for future PPA’s. While it is not practical to have a standard PPA that can be ready for all types of projects, SVP will prepare a power purchase agreement in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office prior to release of an RFP.
In the event SVP elects to purchase or sell renewable energy, renewable energy credits, or resource adequacy through a Western System Power Pool (WSPP) confirmation, SVP shall use a template confirmation which has been approved by the City Attorney’s Office. In some cases, when practical, counterparty’s template will be used subject to SVP staff and City Attorney’s Office review.
Management will direct staff to maintain a summary of all PPA’s that inventory key commercial terms. This will serve as a useful guide to refer to for consideration when negotiating future PPA’s.
For SVP’s future targeted RFP’s for PPA’s, management will design and establish upfront criteria for the targeted type(s) of resources before launch and develop a standard form PPA as the starting form for negotiations.
After a PPA is signed, the overall management of the different components is delegated to the responsible business teams. At present, the utility does not have a dedicated position responsible for management of executed PPAs. Given the number of PPA’s (see table in Intro section) and the limited number of staff available, creating a position in the Middle Office team, like other electric utilities, may benefit the Front Office team, the
AUDIT RESULTS
13 Back Office team, and overall PPA management. Currently, the City is undertaking an organizational assessment of SVP by an outside consulting firm. The purpose of the study is to review and make recommendations to enhance the organizational and staffing structure of the enterprise.
Estimated Completion Date: December 2025
Finding 3: Invoice Verification and Payment
For non-JPA/NCPA invoices, the SVP utilizes invoice tracking spreadsheets to reconcile the generation and rates billed to them with the CAISO reports. Our testing revealed that one of our sampled invoices did not match the CAISO report. According to the Settlements Group Division Manager, the CAISO report had an error which has since been corrected. However, there was no explanation in the supporting documents for the payment approval as to how it was determined that the CAISO report, not the invoice, included an error. The SVP policy16 requires wholesale purchases to be verified for payment. It also requires that trade transaction confirmation documents prepared by the supplier agree to the SVP’s own records and that exceptions be investigated.
For NCPA invoices, the Division Manager of Settlement reconciles the NCPA All Resources Bill to ensure accuracy of the PPA portion of the invoice and the Division Manager of the SVP Resources Group approves the invoice for payment. There is no written communication from the Division Manager of Settlement to the Division Manager of the SVP Resources Group indicating that the settlement portion has been validated prior to payment.
Recommendation
Management should implement a formalized process to validate supplier invoices and rate calculations completed by NCPA. Verifications performed by SVP should be completed before payments to ensure accurate payments.
A standardized process for reconciling and approving invoices for payment should include the following:
Reconciliation of generation and dollar amounts with CAISO reports, utilizing an invoice tracking sheet for all PPAs.
Review of reconciliation performed including evidence of review (signature). Verification of the rates invoiced with the approved contracted rate. Formal approval process with signature on invoices.

AUDIT RESULTS
14 Finding 4: Reporting
The RPS is one of California’s key programs for advancing renewable energy. The program sets continuously escalating renewable energy procurement requirements for the state’s load-serving entities. The RPS requires generation to be procured from RPS-certified facilities. The RPS compliance report is filed annually through the CEC online portal and is attested to by the Resource Analyst. Per SVP management, the RPS reporting process for the data cannot be reviewed prior to submission because the numbers are directly sent from WECC's WREGIS system to CEC for verification. The narrative section of the report is reviewed by a separate individual prior to submission, however, there is no formal documentation of this review.
The SVP policy17 requires internal controls such as segregation of duties and accurate reporting to be integrated into all activities of the business.
The purpose of an independent review is to ensure that the information presented in the report is valid, complete, and free from errors or biases. By having an independent reviewer verify the accuracy of the report, the SVP can enhance accountability, compliance, and confidence in the reported data.
Recommendation
The Assistant Director (or another qualified individual) should review and approve all required reports prior to submission to the California Energy Commission to prevent inaccurate reporting and to ensure all state requirements are met. The review should be evidenced in writing (signature).
Management Response
Responsible Department(s): Resources
Action Plan:
Management concurs with Recommendation 4 and will enact the following step to ensure accountability:
SVP will have an Assistant Director, Sr. Division Manager, Division Manager, or Program Manager review the annual data in the RPS portal and be the Verification Attestant electronic signatory as the final step in the portal submittal process. This will ensure a final check and balance.
Additionally, it is important to note that the RPS compliance report data that is validated for the RPS is also validated through the CEC’s Power Source Disclosure Program (PSD) and all RECs are generated and transferred through from WECCS’s WREGIS system. The PSD has three levels of attestation. REC retirements are sent to the CEC through an independent WREGIS verification process, and then SVP reports category compliance on a separate CEC RPS web portal. In addition, SVP must submit all PPA agreements to the CEC for approval and adherence to the RPS requirements. SVP does a formal review of the RPS Narrative document. Because of these redundancies and cross-checks, it is not efficient to have an additional reviewer duplicate the efforts of the original compiler, however, as noted above, it makes sense to have a higher-level employee sign off to ensure the analyst has completed the steps required to move through the process.
Per Finding #4, SVP will enact the following step to ensure accountability:
SVP will have an Assistant Director, Sr. Division Manager, Division Manager, or Program Manager review the annual data in the RPS portal and be the Verification Attestant electronic signatory as the final step in the portal submittal process and. This will ensure a final check and balance.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with Superior Alarm Systems for Security Integrator Systems at Levi’s Stadium For a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $1,838,022, Inclusive of All Contract and Option Years, and Delegation of Authority for Future Amendments.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Stadium Management Agreement between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo), and Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager), the Stadium Manager is responsible for maintaining Levi’s Stadium (Stadium) “in the Required Condition and operate it as a high-quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility…” Levi’s Stadium is a large-scale, high-profile venue that serves a significant number of patrons and is subject to heightened security expectations and obligations, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards governing public safety, critical infrastructure protection, and risk management. Maintaining a robust, reliable, and continuously updated security infrastructure supported by qualified experts remains essential to protecting the venue, its operations, and its guests.
The Stadium Manager is requesting a delegation of authority to enter into a long-term agreement with a qualified security integrator. All services will be performed pursuant to executed task orders.
The Stadium Manager has not previously had a contract with a security integrator. As Levi’s Stadium’s security infrastructure continues to age and security technologies rapidly evolve, the Stadium requires specialized expertise to support the design, integration, maintenance, and modernization of critical security systems, including video surveillance, access control, perimeter protection, and centralized command-and-control systems. The security integrator would also support event-day operations, cybersecurity coordination, system upgrades, lifecycle planning, and interoperability with public safety agencies.
Additionally, the security integrator will coordinate with Stadium vendors, contractors, and project teams to ensure security requirements are incorporated into Stadium projects and infrastructure improvements. Due to the sensitive nature of the Stadium’s security systems and information, maintaining a single long-term security integrator is critical to preserving operational continuity, limiting access to confidential systems, and reducing security risks associated with multiple shortterm providers. The agreement will also support compliance with applicable federal laws and regulatory requirements, including the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002, which are necessary to maintain a reliable, adaptable, and compliant security program.

26-571 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
On September 25, 2025, the Stadium Manager issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select a security integrator to provide on-call, as-needed, professional security integrator services for Levi’s Stadium. Interested proposers submitted a letter of interest, corporate qualifications, and executed a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement before Stadium Manager provided access to the full RFP. Five proposals were received from the following firms by the RFP due date and time:
1. Convergint
2. EyeP Solutions, Inc. (EyeP)
3. Johnson Controls Security Solutions (JCI)
4. Securitas Technologies (Securitas)
5. Superior Alarm Systems (SAS)
An Evaluation Committee reviewed the proposals in accordance with the criteria established in the RFP. All five firms satisfied the minimum submission requirements. The evaluation process consisted of two phases. During Phase I, proposals were evaluated based on qualifications and responsiveness to the RFP requirements. Firms receiving the highest scores and meeting the minimum qualifications advanced to Phase II, which included interviews, presentations, and cost evaluations. Following completion of Phase II, Superior Alarms Systems (SAS) was determined to provide the best overall value based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. The Stadium Manager subsequently entered negotiations with SAS and successfully negotiated the proposed rates and fees.
As such, the Stadium Manager is requesting Stadium Authority Board (Board) approval for the following actions for a service agreement for security integrator systems services:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to enter into an agreement with Superior Alarm Systems (Attachment 1) to provide on-call, as-needed professional security integrator services at Levi’s Stadium for an initial term of five (5) years commencing August 19, 2026, and expiring August 18, 2031, with five (5) optional one-year extensions through August 18, 2036 (“Agreement”) with a total not to exceed of One Million Eight Hundred Thirty Eight and Twenty Two Dollars ($1,838,022.00). The term for each fiscal year is contingent on the SCSA approving the applicable fiscal year's budget, including amounts due under the Agreements.
2. Authorize the Stadium Authority Executive Director to approve future amendments as needed to: (a) exercise the option to extend the Agreement by five (5) one-year extension periods through August 18, 2036; and (b) adjust labor rates for each one-year extension by up to five percent (5%) annually, in accordance with the terms and conditions associated with rate increases in Exhibit B of the Agreement.
3. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute and administer task orders with SAS to perform services for approved security department budgeted items approved as part of the Stadium Authority annual budget process during any fiscal year within the initial term and any extension periods, consistent with the terms and funding limitations set forth therein.
DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo and supporting documents for consistency with the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy and Santa City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 6 Printed on 8/14/2026

26-571 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
Clara City Code Chapter 2.105.140(c) (Competitive requirements for purchases - Formal requests for proposals for agreements with an amount over $250,000). As described above and in the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, the Stadium Manager implemented an RFP process and received five (5) proposals, and through the evaluation and subsequent negotiations process is recommending award of the agreement to Superior Alarm Systems (SAS), the proposer offering the best value.
The Stadium Manager is proposing an initial five-year term (August 19, 2026 through August 18, 2031). Exhibit B of the Agreement outlines established pricing for ongoing hourly rates for as-needed services and reflects up to a 5% increase year over year.
The Agreement includes a provision allowing for annual rate adjustments in contract years six through ten (August 19, 2031 through August 18, 2036), limited to five percent (5%) annually or the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Wages and Salaries for Private Industry Workers, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, whichever is lower, should the Stadium Manager elect to exercise the option years.
Compensation for services to be performed under this Agreement will be set forth in each Task Order and will be funded through the approved Capital Expense budget items and approved Stadium Manager’s Shared Stadium Expense budget items as part of the Stadium Authority’s annual budget process for each year of the Agreement. For Shared Stadium Expenses, the Stadium Authority is responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the security integrator’s services.
Approved SCSA budget for Capital Expenditure (Cap Ex) security projects for Fiscal Year 2026/27, as shown in the table below:
Project Name Total
Install Stadium Camera Booths Card Readers $ 96,558
Enhance Stadium Security Access Control (2020/21 Carryover) $ 270,133 Security General Allowance (2023/24 Carryover) $ 98,019 Stadium Camera Coverage Upgrade (2024/25 Carryover) $ 574,750 Security General Allowance $ 261,187
Surveillance-Cameras $ 287,375
Total $ 1,588,022
The Agreement does not guarantee any minimum amount of work or compensation to the security integrator. The compensation for each Task Order will not exceed the approved budget item. The Agreement does not authorize any new or additional spending beyond what is approved through the Stadium Authority’s annual budget process.
Because of the security nature of the planned improvements, the Stadium Manager will coordinate with the Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD) and partner agencies on all security system upgrades and related security projects at Levi’s Stadium prior to implementation. This coordination is important to ensure that security integrator projects are aligned with SCPD’s public safety and operational needs and that proposed improvements support effective security and emergency City of Santa Clara Page 3 of 6 Printed on 8/14/2026

26-571 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
response at the Stadium. During major events, the Stadium Manager coordinates with SCPD and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on security planning and operations to support a coordinated approach to public safety and event security. Staff recommendation to direct the Stadium Manager to coordinate these improvements is included in this report.
Based on the documentation provided, staff recommend approval of the Stadium Manager’s requests and additional delegated authority to the Stadium Manager to execute amendments to the Agreement as approved by the Executive Director, and to issue and execute work orders for the Agreement, up to the not-to-exceed amounts for each contract year, subject to budget appropriations.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the Agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the Agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
The Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal yearend reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 “Existing Facilities” as the activity consists of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies determination.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total not-to-exceed amount for the initial five-year term of the Agreement is $1,838,022, consisting of $250,000 in Shared Stadium Expenses (50/50) and $1,588,022 for approved Cap Ex security projects for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27. The requested not-to-exceed amount does not cover costs for the entire Agreement term and will be subject to future Board approved budgets for security Cap Ex and Shared Stadium Expense projects.
The Stadium Authority FY 2026/27 Budget includes Shared Stadium Expenses, such as costs associated with conducting comprehensive security system assessments. In accordance with the Stadium Lease, most Shared Stadium Expenses are allocated 50/50. There are sufficient funds in the FY 2026/27 Shared Stadium Expenses budget to cover the Stadium Authority’s fifty percent (50%) share of the projected $250,000 in Shared Stadium Expenses, up to $125,000.
The Stadium Authority FY 2026/27 Budget also includes $1,588,022 for Stadium Authority-approved Cap Ex security projects. This amount includes $96,558 for Stadium Camera Booth Card Readers, $270,133 for the Enhance Stadium Security Access Control project, $98,019 for the Security General Allowance, $574,750 for the Stadium Camera Coverage Upgrade, $261,187 for the Security General Allowance, and $287,375 for Surveillance Cameras.
The Stadium Manager will request future Stadium Authority approvals to amend the Agreement to City of Santa Clara Page 4 of 6 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-571 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
increase the aggregate not-to-exceed amount to reflect future budgets approved by the Stadium Authority for security Cap Ex and Shared Stadium Expense projects. The Agreement does not guarantee any minimum amount of work or compensation to the security integrator, and all work will be performed pursuant to written task orders.
A delegation of authority is requested to authorize the Executive Director to approve amendments to extend the Agreement for years six through ten (August 19, 2031 through August 18, 2036) and increase labor rates by up to five percent (5%) for each one-year extension period, consistent with the terms of the Agreement. Any such extensions and adjustments will remain subject to available Stadium Authority budget appropriations, including annual approval by the Board.
The term for subsequent fiscal years and any expenditures under the Agreement are conditioned upon approval of the Stadium Authority budget for the applicable fiscal year that includes the amounts due under the Agreement, as required under Santa Clara City Code Section 17.30.100.

This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Office.
