BEACH AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN ENERGY SERVICES
CONTRACT WITH ALLIANCE BUILDING SOLUTIONS, LLC, FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE §4217.10 ET SEQ.
WHEREAS, the City's intent to address long-standing capital improvement needs and
reduce energy and operating costs in municipal operations; and
The City agreed with Alliance Building Solutions, LLC. (ABS) to perform an
energy/operational audit and to develop a proposed project for cost-effective energy and
operating savings in various City facilities; and
ABS and City staff have formulated a proposed scope of services that includes lighting
upgrades, HVAC equipment replacement, controls upgrades, transformer replacements, and
renewable energy systems at various City facilities; and
The cost of these energy conservation measures (ECMs) is determined to be seven
million three hundred fifty-eight thousand eight hundred sixty-one dollars and zero cents
($7,358,861) to be financed by a municipal lease; and
Staff estimates that the City will realize gross savings over the lifetime of the measures
(which ranges from 10-30 years depending on the measure) estimated at over 23 million
($23,089,221); and
California Government Code Sections 4217.10 to 4217.18 authorize the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach to enter into an Energy Services Contract for the implementation
of energy conservation measures, if the Council finds that it is in the best interest of the City to
do so and that the anticipated cost to the City for thermal, electrical, or other energy or
conservation services provided under the contract will be less than the anticipated marginal cost
to the City of such energy that would have been consumed in the absence of those measures; and
Staff has reviewed reports prepared by ABS and concluded that the total cost of the
energy efficiency upgrades provided under the proposed contract will be less than the anticipated
marginal cost to the City of thermal, electrical, or other energy that would have been consumed
by the City in absent of the proposed project during the useful life of the improvements.
