AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to provide a Public Benefits Program
Grant in the amount of $90,731.00 to fund the Mondavi Distribution Center Demand-
side Management Project (EUD)
MEETING DATE: June 6, 2001
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to
provide a Public Benefits Program Grant in the amount of $90,731.00
to fund the Mondavi Distribution Center Demand-side Management
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently, the Robert Mondavi company is constructing a 600,000
(approximate) square foot product distribution center at the very
northern end of Guild Avenue in Lodi. In consultation with the City of
Lodi Electric Utility and Planergy International (the City of Lodi's chosen energy services provider), Robert
Mondavi has opted to upgrade the lighting and mechanical components of their new facility incorporating
high efficiency equipment and technology. The Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $90,731
reflects a 25 percent contribution towards the total cost of the installed energy efficient equipment (total
cost of the energy efficient improvements: $362,924).
In their new facility, Robert Mondavi will be installing the following designated energy efficient
equipment/technology:
• water-cooled chiller (this is the main cooling system for the distribution center, which is designed to
maintain a year-round indoor temperature of 65 degrees);
• heat pumps for the office space (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating of 12.0);
• high efficiency pump motors for warehouse and office HVAC (heating & cooling) systems;
• 350 -watt pulse start metal halide warehouse lighting;
• lighting motion sensors for office space; and
• skylights for warehouse (otherwise referred to as "free lighting").
The original equipment designed for the Mondavi Distribution Center, which was not deemed as energy
efficient or high efficiency, included: an air-cooled chiller, heat pumps with an efficiency rating of 10.0, mid-
range efficiency pump motors for the HVAC systems, and 400 -watt metal halide lighting.
It should be noted that the Robert Mondavi team was extremely receptive to any and all energy efficient
improvements proposed by the City of Lodi. Based upon the high efficiency equipment to be installed
versus the original equipment list (see above), Robert Mondavi will reduce their monthly energy
consumption by nearly 17 percent. The City of Lodi Electric Utility will utilize this facility as a show -piece
