Joint Development Authority TCAAP Redevelopment Project and Excel were invited to be ex officio ERAB members because it became clear that they have special information related to the analysis and have related interests. The Framework includes the findings from the analyses and next steps to pursue the recommendations and partnerships that will be important to TCAAP’s energy future. The Framework has been prepared in three formats: a 2-page summary (attached), the full Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework (attached) and a Brief which is a more detailed 15 page summary. On March 11, 2015, the ERAB reviewed the draft EIRF and recommended that the JDA approve the EIRF; recommend that the JDA sponsor a community outreach program with partnering organizations to share the critical elements of the EIRF; and, ERAB members expressed their willingness as individual community members to assist the JDA with implementation of the EIRF. There will be comments by Project Manager Greg Mack and Energy Resiliency Advisory Board Chair Lyle Salmela, followed by a presentation by Ever-Green Energy. Action Requested: • Discussion • Adoption of the EIRF • Direct staff to move forward with the implementation steps outlined in the EIRF in conjunction with the TCAAP Redevelopment Code and Master Plan, including negotiations with the General Services Administration for conveyance of the excess portion of the former Primer Tracer Area (PTA) for use as a Solar PV site; secure a demolition/remediation contract to prepare the PTA for Solar PV installation; prepare a RFP and solicit proposals for construction and operation of Solar PV; and, continue to work with the Army to secure long term rights to utilize heat from the ground water treatment system and install a heat exchanger/pumping station within the ground water filtration building for operation of a low-temperature district energy system.
