BACKGROUND <br />Operations Services Department staff provides a regular update to this Committee regarding <br />the City's various efforts to implement its CAP. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Three energy services companies (ESCOs), EcoGreen Solutions, Syserco, and Engie, <br />conducted preliminary feasibility assessments of the City's Fire Station #1 and Callippe Golf. <br />Course Clubhouse on January 16. Staff reviewed their findings and has chosen to engage <br />Syserco to conduct IGAs of up to eight City facilities and to perform the subsequent design and <br />construction of the identified energy efficiency improvements. Contract negotiations are <br />underway with Syserco to fund this project via PG&E's 0% interest on -bill financing program. <br />As reported in January, East Bay Energy Watch contracted with PlaceWorks in 2018 to <br />develop GHG inventories for 35 jurisdictions in Alameda and Contra Costa counties for year <br />2017. Staff is engaging PlaceWorks, separately, to account for emissions associated with the <br />water/wastewater sector, as well as to redevelop a similar inventory for the City's baseline year <br />of 2005 using the same methodology. Over the last two months, staff has worked to obtain <br />data requested by PlaceWorks needed to develop the inventories, which require coordination <br />with outside agencies such as the Dublin San Ramon Services District and the City of <br />Livermore. Staff expects PlaceWorks to complete this project before the end of this fiscal year <br />and in time for the City to start the update process of its Climate Action Plan. <br />Staff has also engaged a new web designer to design the Virtual Street website. The previous <br />designer proved to be non-responsive and was released from the project. That resulted in at <br />least a month and a half delay in project development. The new web designer is much more <br />engaged and has already provided sound design concepts. Staff is developing contents to be <br />used and anticipating to beta -test the website by the end of April. <br />Lastly, the City's CivicSpark Fellow, Zack Reda, has been evaluating EBCE using the criteria <br />established by this Committee. He will present his preliminary findings and staff will seek <br />Committee feedback and guidance for further investigations where needed. <br />Submitted by: <br />Derek Lee <br />Environmental Services Manager <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
