WHEREAS, based on the energy cost analysis provided by Advanced
Lighting Services, Inc. attached to the proposed contract as Exhibit A, City staff
estimates an annual ongoing energy savings of $47,900 after all City light fixtures
at the designated City parks and facilities are converted to LED; and
WHEREAS, the breakdown of Advanced Lighting Services, Inc.'s cost to
convert the light fixtures at the designated City parks and facilities to LED fixtures
is approximately not to exceed $402,400; and
WHEREAS, Advanced Lighting Services, Inc. secured an OBF Loan from
PG&E and City staff believe it is unlikely that any other contractor would have
been able to secure the zero percent interest loan from PG&E; and
WHEREAS, OBF funding is provided by The California Public Utility
Commission and PG&E acts as the administrator of these funds and the City would
pay back the zero percent interest loan through energy savings realized by the
improvements until the loan is fully repaid; and
WHEREAS, since the OBF loan is paid back using energy savings and the OBF
program provides upfront improvement costs, there is no fiscal impact to the City;
and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department recommends the Council authorize
the Finance Director to dispense with bidding for this energy
efficient/conservation project and approve the agreement with Advanced
Lighting Services, Inc. to convert the high-pressure sodium, fluorescent and metal

Parks: Silver Creek Park, Patriots Park, Saunders Park, Siemons Park and Tevis Park;
