Title
CONSIDER:

A. REAFFIRMING the use of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to implement a design-build project at Divisions 9, 11, 14 (Expo Yard), and 22 (see Funding and Operating Sustainability-Related Infrastructure report, attached as Attachment B)1 including the design, construction and installation of new roofs for Divisions 11 and 22 to be paid for through a PPA; and

B. FINDING that use of the design-build contracting delivery approach pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 130242, et. seq. will achieve certain private sector efficiencies in the integration of the design and construction by providing for the award of a design-build contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the installation of new roofs at Divisions 11 and 22 and installation of solar photovoltaic ("PV") systems at Divisions 9, 11, 14, and 22, which will be solicited through either an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) procurement method.

ISSUE

Pursuant to Metro's Renewable Energy Policy attached as Attachment A,2 Metro has committed to a 66% renewable energy use goal by 2020. One of the strategies that Metro has employed to achieve that goal is to install solar PV systems on its facilities at various Metro properties (see Funding and Operating Sustainability-Related Infrastructure report, attached as Attachment B).3 That authority allows the use of Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). This mechanism allows for guaranteed revenue to repay the investment of renewable energy systems or rental of land or roof space to 3rd party providers.
