COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Design and Construction of Municipal
Service Center Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility Solar Power Project
MEETING DATE: May 16,2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for design and construction of
Municipal Service Center Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility solar
power project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On July 6,2011, Council awarded design and construction of the
above project to D. G. Granade, Inc., of Shingle Springs, in the
amount of $435,456.
This project consisted of the design and construction of approximately 5,300 square feet of roof space for
mounting 240 photovoltaic solar panels to provide 56.4 Kilowatt Standard Test Conditions (KWSTC) of
electrical power. The structure will also serve as a protective cover for the material storage bunkers
adjacent to the Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility. Electricity generated by the new facility will help
offset electrical costs at the Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility.
The project was substantially completed and final inspections were performed on April 11, 2012. There were
no change orders for this project. The final contract price was $435,456.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that
the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold
payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: Electricity generated from this projectwill be used to offset utility costs at
the Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding was from the American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (1251).
