WHEREAS, a resolution was passed on January 28, 2021 to award contract 9146, to Johnson Controls, Inc. (“JCI”) an energy service company, to develop and implement an Energy Savings Plan (“ESP”) through an Energy Savings Improvement Plan (“ESIP”); and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to the ESP developed by JCI, a resolution was passed on May 27, 2021 awarding a contract to JCI to provide and install Energy Conservation Measures (“ECMs”) at various school sites, services which included the repair of school roofs in preparation for the installation of ECMs, at a cost of approximately $100,000,000.00; and
WHEREAS, also pursuant to the ESP, a resolution was passed on May 4, 2021 to award contract 9287 to National Energy Partners (“NEP”) to provide solar generated electricity under a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) through the construction of solar energy systems at 51 school locations; and
WHEREAS, as part of NEP’s proposal for contract 9287, NEP committed to contributing five million dollars ($5,000.000.00) for roof repair and/or the re-installation of roofs at one or more of the solar energy systems sites upon the execution of the PPA; and
WHEREAS, since the award of contract 9287, PPAs were executed between the Board and NEP for 51 individual school locations; and
WHEREAS, since NEP is ready to release the five million dollars to the Board, the parties drafted a letter agreement to formally confirm NEP’s obligation to contribute and pay the five million dollars to the Board for repairs and/or re-installation of roofs at one or more of the solar energy systems sites; and
WHEREAS, upon receipt of the five million dollars, JCI’s ECM contract which includes the repair of roofs, is to be increased by five million dollars so that NEP’s contribution can be directly allocated for roof repairs;
WHEREAS, the recommendation to accept the five million dollars, to execute the letter agreement and to increase the JCI contract by the same corresponding amount was reviewed and approved by Rodney L. Williams, Director of Energy & Sustainability.
