Roseville Public Works, Environment and <br />Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />Date: July 28, 2015 <br />Item Description: City Campus Solar Installation Proposal Review <br />Item No: 5 <br />Background: <br />Through the ongoing research into solar options for the City Campus, and after our unsuccessful <br />application for the Made in Minnesota grant funds, the PWET Commission recommended staff <br />pursue a large scale solar installation on one of our two large roofs, either the Public Works <br />Maintenance building roof or the Skating Center roof. <br />In early July, staff received two proposals in response to our Request for Proposal (RFP). The <br />proposals are attached. Based on the quick time for ownership and no upfront costs, City staff is <br />recommending that we enter into an agreement with Sundial Solar for a Power Purchase <br />Agreement system which the City will be able to purchase in the sixth year after the installation <br />with the use of a charitable contribution for a private sector third party. <br />Attached is a comparison of the two proposals as well as the full submittals from both of the <br />solar developers. The proposal from Sundial was much more detailed and contained several <br />tables with cost analysis and power production analysis. <br />The July agenda does not budget much time for the discussion of this item. Therefore staff <br />encourages members to contact staff directly before Tuesday night's meeting. Also, this item <br />could be tabled to the August meeting if the Commission felt more time was needed to review <br />and discuss the proposals. <br />Recommended Action: <br />Review City Campus Solar Installation Proposals and make a recommendation to the City <br />Council. <br />Attachments: <br />A. Proposal Summary <br />B. TruNorth Solar Proposal <br />C. Sundial Solar Proposal <br />
