Staff Report Highlights:
RE Project Changes: “Prior to advertising the RFP, staff identified constraints with Montrose Lot 3 and Dunsmore Park sites that required removal from the RFP and to be considered for future phases of solar PV development. However, Glendale Community College Lot 34 site was added as a replacement and the RFP was subsequently issued on May 22, 2023, for seven sites. These seven sites were estimated to deliver 3.9 MW of solar PV energy at a cost of $12,850,000. Three addenda were issued during the RFP submittal period. Addendum No. 1 removed Fire Station 21 from the RFP as requested by the department. This adjustment resulted in the RFP including six sites for an estimated 3.7 MW of solar PV energy at an estimated cost of $12,050,000″
RE Brand Landfill Project: “The Project would involve the design and installation of PV System at the Brand Landfill. Motive Energy Storage Systems, Inc. will first undertake the design and CEQA analysis of the proposed Project. Once that is completed, the appropriate CEQA documentation and Project will be presented to the City Council and authorization will be obtained at that time to commence with the construction phase of the Project.”
RE Current Costs: “The construction of the City Owned Solar Development Program – Phase 1 Projects (five project sites) will cost $9,953,000 plus a 15% contingency of $1,492,950 for a total of $11,445,950, and Brand Landfill project will cost $151,274 plus a 15% contingency of$22,691 for a total of $173,965.The total amount for the construction of five sites and the design, engineering, and environmental review for one site, including the 15% contingency is $11,619,915, which is available in the current FY 23-24 budget.”
