RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving a
Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $10,556.28 for a
demand-side management project at the Lodi Medical Plaza, 999 S.
Fairmont Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Medical Associates group, which owns and operates the
Lodi Medical Plaza, is embarking on a facility -wide demand-side
management project. The first phase of the project consists of a
lighting retrofit of their entire 42,000 square foot facility. Based upon
a lighting retrofit assessment conducted by Tru -Brite Energy Management Incorporated (a private
contractor selected by the customer and approved by the City of Lodi Electric Utility for participation in our
Business Energy Survey & Technology Program), once completed, Lodi Medical Associates will reduce
energy consumption at their facility in excess of 30 percent.
Specifically, the project includes:
• removal of the existing 753 40 -watt T-12 fluorescent lamps and all magnetic ballast;
• install new, high efficiency T-8 fluorescent lamps and electronic ballast;
• replace existing EXIT signs (incandescent) with light -emitting diode (LED) fixtures; and,
• replace all incandescent canned recessed lamps with compact fluorescent lamps.
The total cost of this project to the customer is $42,225.13. The Public Benefits Program grant of
$10,556.28 reflects a 25% contribution to the customer, which is consistent with other grants provided to
commercial customers for demand-side management efforts.
