BACKGROUND: On April 20, 2009, the City Council adopted the Climate Change Action Plan. The Plan identifies programs to enable the City to initiate solar power generation at City facilities using a collaborative procurement process, which includes projects that will achieve energy savings by generating renewable power. In October 2013, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on behalf of itself and 12 other jurisdictions in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties to select a vendor to design and install solar panels for participating agencies. The selected vendor was a team comprised of Sunetric, a solar development firm; SolEd Benefit Corporation (“SolEd”), a solar financier; and Danlin Solar, an electrical contractor. In September 2014, San Rafael entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SolEd as Seller, which allows the City to receive solar-generated power without capital investment by agreeing to purchase power at an established price for a fixed term. The City sought to install solar panels at the following facilities: • City Hall • A and C Street Garages • Public Works Building • B Street Community Center • Albert J. Boro Community Center • Terra Linda Community Center On August 18, 2014, the City Council held a public hearing and adopted the form of the PPA for all six locations, including City Hall, and authorized the City Manager to execute a customized PPA for specific sites. In May 2016, the City granted SolEd permission to proceed with the design and construction of solar panel installation at the C Street Garage, the Public Works Corporation SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 Yard, and the Albert J. Boro Community Center. This work was completed in 2017 and the solar systems are currently functioning as expected. Solar panel installations at City Hall and the Terra Linda Community Center were not immediately pursued based on conflicts with other projects. Currently, the City Hall Switch Gear project is being constructed and should be completed in the next few months. The City’s solar vendor performed an analysis of the proposed solar array at the Terra Linda Community Center in March 2018 and found that the cost to install these facilities, plus necessary electrical upgrades, exceeds the beneficial power over the term of the agreement. During the development of the initial power purchase agreements, installation of solar panels at the B Street Community Center was determined to produce a marginal amount of electricity based on the building’s location and the adjacent tree canopy. In addition, further improvements to the roof and mechanical systems possibly needed discouraged the installation of solar at this site. In 2018, staff recommended not to move forward with the installation of panels on the B Street Community Center. In order to administer work associated with the previous projects, on July 5, 2016 the City Council authorized an agreement with Optony Inc. for management and commissioning services. Optony Inc. is still assisting the City with project oversight. On March 19, 2018 the City Council approved a new PPA with SolEd, which eliminated the Terra Linda Community Center from the original agreement. While the City Council approved proceeding with the City Hall project, modifications were needed to the original PPA based on new developments in solar technology and upcoming changes to the City Hall campus. This redesign and some other minor modifications were incorporated into the new PPA. As allowed by the PPA, the form of the seller’s business has changed, and the seller is now SolEd Solar Holdings V, LLC, of which SolEd is the managing partner. ANALYSIS: Due to the length of time since the execution of the original agreement, SolEd is requesting modifications to the PPA approved March 19, 2018 for City Hall, as permitted by Section 9 of Exhibit 4 to the PPA. This first amendment (Attachment 3) applies to the subsections of the original contract which are specific to City Hall. While many of these modifications are minor in nature, there are several modifications which can be considered significant: Term Modifications: SolEd is proposing to modify the term of the agreement from 20 years to 30 years. This extension will result in additional PPA payments but will lock in energy pricing for that extended period, providing the City savings compared to expected utility rates. The City may lose some flexibility to remove the system between the 20 and 30-year period, but standing options continue to exist for the City to buy the system through a termination payment, as specified in the amendment, to end the PPA early and have the system removed by SolEd. Contract Price Change: The original PPA with SolEd included energy pricing that began at $0.175/kWh and increased at a rate of 2.5% annually, until Year 15, at which time the price would drop by 10% annually until Year 20. In connection with the extended timeline, SolEd is requesting a straight-line escalation of 1.5% annually for Years 1 through 20, with Year 20 pricing remaining fixed through Year 30. This change would result in slightly higher savings for the City over the first 20 years, as compared to the original pricing. In return, SolEd would receive a longer guaranteed revenue stream from Year 21 to Year 30. Optony Inc., the City’s consultant for this project, reviewed this detail. While the newly-proposed pricing for Years 21-30 is possibly higher than could be negotiated as an extension to the existing PPA, the later-year fixed pricing does provide stability and hedging against drastic increases in utility SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3 pricing that are anticipated over the near-term and is anticipated to continue to provide savings to the City. And as mentioned above, there is anticipated higher savings over the first 20 years. Termination Payment Amount: Soled has requested modification of the Termination Payment Amount to reflect the extended agreement term. If the City decides to terminate the contract with SolEd prior to the end of the 30-year period, the City is obligated to pay SolEd a termination payment. This table which is included in the amendment, is modified from the original to represent the 30-year period of this amendment. Based on the PPA, SolEd will install and maintain solar panels at City Hall similar to the arrangements for the other locations already installed at Public Works, C Street Parking Garage, and Boro Community Center. Typical reductions in electricity needed at these facilities due to solar production range between 50-70%, but are dependent on a number of factors, including weather temperature, cloud cover, facility occupancy and usage, among other factors. This results in expense reductions paid to the utilities. Most of these savings are used to pay back the PPA financial investor, but some of which are retained by the City as cost savings. The City’s consultant Optony Inc. has reviewed this amendment with staff and, based on current industry conditions and City Hall particulars, concurs with proceeding with these changes. Under California Government Code section 4217, the City Council may enter into an energy service contract that it determines is in the best interest of the City, if the determination is made at a regularly scheduled public hearing, public notice of which is given at least two weeks in advance. The required two-weeks’ notice has been provided for the public hearing at this meeting, and Staff recommends that this procedure be followed for this amendment to the PPA. FISCAL IMPACT: As discussed in the July 21, 2014 staff report, there are no upfront capital costs associated with the installation of this solar equipment. However, staff time, miscellaneous project costs, such as some moderate tree trimming and incidental work on the part of the City, will be required to accommodate the new solar panels. The original PPA identified an approximate cost of $1.4 million for the City Hall project, which is paid back through energy savings over the term of the contract with SolEd. The financial impact of this amendment is minimal over the original 20-year term of the agreement and is most likely to result in continued savings to the City over the new 30-year term. COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Prior to the original approval of the solar projects in 2014, City staff posted the designs for the proposed project at the Terra Linda Community Center as well as at City Hall. In addition, staff promoted the solar project via Snapshot, website, and other multi- media avenues. In general, energy projects for public entities are exempt from design review under the state and local code. In addition, those involved in the City’s Climate Change Action Plan Working Group and community forums have supported this City Hall solar project from the beginning and support the City’s efforts to reduce facility energy use and to offset remaining usage with on-site renewable energy. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Power Purchase Agreement for the City Hall site. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The captions or headings in this Agreement are strictly for convenience and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement. 2. Purchase and Sale of Electricity. Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell to Purchaser, all of the electric energy generated by the System (the "Energy") for each Contract Year during the Initial Term and any Additional Teim (as defined in Exhibit I, and collectively the "Term"), up to 110% of Expected Contract Quantity for each Contract Year set f01th on Exhibit 2. Purchaser shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Energy in excess of 110% of the Expected Contract Quantity. Seller will first offer any Energy beyond the 110% cap to Purchaser and, only if Purchaser does not exercise its option to purchase all or a portion of such excess Energy, Seller shall be permitted to resell the excess Energy, provided such sale is in accordance with all applicable laws. Energy generated by the System will be delivered to Purchaser at the delivery. point identified on Exhibit 2 (the "Delivery Point"). Purchaser shall take title to the Energy at the Delivery Point, and risk of loss will pass from Seller to Purchaser at the Delivery Point. Purchaser may purchase electric energy for the Facility from other sources if Purchaser's electric requirements at the Facility exceed the Energy generated by the System. Any delivery of Energy prior to the Commercial Operation Date shall be treated as limited amounts of test energy only and shall not indicate that the System has been put in commercial operation, and Purchaser shall not be under obligation to pay for such test energy. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the Energy at the Delivery Point free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims and encumbrances or any interest therein or thereto, by any person. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller's obligation to deliver Energy unencumbered shall not in any way affect Seller's ability to grant a security interest in or otherwise encumber the System in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. "Contract Year" means the twelve month period beginning at 12:00 AM on the Commercial Operation Date or on any anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date and ending at 11 :59 PM on the day immediately preceding the next anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date, provided that the first Contract Year shall begin on the Commercial Operation Date. 3. Term and Termination. a. Initial Term. The initial term ("Initial Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the Commercial Operation Date (as defined below) and continue for the length of time specified in Exhibit I, unless earliertenninated as provided for in this Agreement. Following Purchaser's inspections pursuant to Section 7(c)(iii) below, the "Commercial Operation Date" is the date Seller gives Purchaser written notice that the System is mechanically complete and capable of providing electric energy to the Delivery Point. Such notice shall be deemed effective unless Purchaser reasonably objects within five (5) business days of the date of receipt of such notice. Upon submittal of the notice, Seller will give Purchaser copies of cet1ificates of completion or similar documentation from Seller's contractor, including signed Building Inspection card, and the interconnection or similar agreement with the entity authorized and required under applicable law to provide electric distribution service to Purchaser at the Facility (the "Utility"), as set forth on Exhibit 2. The notice shall also include commissioning test results. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and, subject to the provisions of Section 18 below, Purchaser's failure to enable Seller to provide the electric energy by preventing it from installing the System or otherwise not performing under this Agreement shall not excuse Purchaser's obligations to make payments that otherwise would have been due under this Agreement. b. Additional Terms. Prior to the end of the Initial Term or of any applicable Additional Te1m, as defined below, if Purchaser has not exercised its option to purchase the System, Purchaser may give Seller written notice of its desire to extend this Agreement on the terms and conditions set f01th herein for the number and length of additional periods specified in Exhibit I (each such additional period, an "Additional Term"). Such notice shall be given, ifat all, not more than three hundred sixty five (365) days and not less than ninety (90) days before the last day of the Initial Term or the then current Additional Term, as applicable. If Purchaser delivers such notice, the Parties shall promptly meet and confer to discuss and agree upon the (i) Expected Contract Quantity, (ii) Contract Price for Contract Years 2-5 of the Additional Term and (iii) Termination Payment applicable for each Contract Year of such Additional Term. The Parties agree that the Contract Price applicable during the first Contract Year of any Additional Tenn shall be the Final PPA Approved March 19, 2018 9 4. same as the Contract Price in effect during the last Contract Year of the Initial Term or prior Additional Term, as applicable. If Seller and Purchaser successfully agree on such terms within sixty (60) days of the date such notice is delivered by Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement which shall state the mutually agreed upon Expected Output Quantity, Contract Price and Termination Payment applicable for each Contract Year of the Additional Term and confirm that all other terms of this Agreement shall continue unchanged in full force and effect. If the Pm1ies are unable to agree on such terms during such sixty (60) day period despite the Parties good faith efforts to reach agreement, Seller shall be deemed to have rejected the offer for an Additional Term. The Additional Term shall begin immediately upon the conclusion of the Initial Term or the then current term and this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the Initial Term (if the same has not been extended) or the then current Additional Term. c.

If an appraiser is selected pursuant to Section 16/b). such appraiser shall act reasonably and in good faith to determine the Fair Market Value of the System based on the formulation set forth herein, and shall set forth such determination in a written opinion delivered to the Parties. The valuation made by any such appraiser shall be binding upon the Parties in the absence of fraud or manifest error. d. Buyout Determination. No later than sixty (60) days after determination of the Fair Market Value of the System, Purchaser shall confirm to Seller in writing of its intent to proceed or not to proceed with its option to purchase the System at the Fair Market Value. In the event Purchaser does not provide such written confirmation or elects not to proceed with such option, the provisions of the Agreement shall continue to apply as if Purchaser had not exercised the option to purchase the System. e. Buyout Obligations. If Purchaser confirms its intent to proceed with its option to purchase as specified above, the Parties shall promptly execute all documents necessary to (A) cause title and ownership of the applicable System to pass to Purchaser on the Buyout Date, free and clear of any liens, and (B) assign all warranties for the applicable System to Purchaser.
