Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Terrell
Date: October 11, 2002
Date of Board Meeting: October 16, 2002
Subject: Lighting Retrofit of the District Headquarters building
The District headquarters building was constructed over fifteen years ago. Now,
newer, higher efficiency lighting technologies have been developed and are
commercially available with cost-effective applications.
When District staff applied for Senate Bill SBSX funding, a high efficiency lighting
retrofit of the building was included. The lighting retrofit is estimated to cost up to
$40,000.
The California Energy Commission has set aside enough grant money to cover
the entire cost of this project at no expense to the District rate payers. The only
caveat is that the project must be completed in 2002.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend the Board approve plans, specifications and
contract documents and authorize District staff to solicit bids for installation of an
energy efficient lighting retrofit at the District headquarters building.
