BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes the City
Manager to provide a Public Benefits Charge (PBC) Grant in the amount of up to
$31,905.00 to Certainteed Corporation to fund a Demand -Side Management Project as
follows:
Certainteed Corporation (Apache Plastics), located at 300 S. Beckman Road,
has embarked upon a significant plant expansion project. The expansion, in excess of
9,000 square feet, is a multi-million dollar investment by Certainteed. The expanded
..-._production area will allow the plastics manufacturer to produce a higher volume of
extruded items, such as pre- fabricated plastic fencing and decking used in the
residential and agricultural marketplace. According to Certainteed officials, the
expansion project will ultimately result in the creation of 100 new jobs here in Lodi over
the next 2 and a half years.
The Public Benefits Program grant, in the amount of $31,905, reflects a 25% utility
rebate for new equipment being installed by Certainteed as part of the plant expansion
(please see attached documentation). This new equipment is deemed as energy
efficient or high efficiency, which equates into energy savings, as well as operations &
maintenance savings, for the Certainteed Corporation. Specifically, Certainteed is
installing:
> one, high efficiency 100 -ton screw chiller;
> 24 high efficiency production lights; and,
> 6 variable frequency drives, including a 500 horsepower drive.
In conjunction with the City of Lodi energy services partner, Energy Masters,
International, the City of Lodi Electric Utility has reviewed and identified the installed
equipment as energy efficient. The City of Lodi Electric Utility respectfully recommends
approval of this grant as a qualifying component of the Public Benefits Program.
