Summary: On October 26, 2010 the Board of Education approved a Design-Build contract with SunPower Corporation, Systems for $65,604,398.00 for the design, procurement installation,training, operation, maintenance, monitoring and 20 year guaranteed performance of Photovoltaic Systems at fifty-one (51) District sites. Recognizing a post-award need to: 1)increase system sizes to address the prospective power demands of the new Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) to be installed at 28 sites through the 2010 Measure C Facility Improvement Program; 2)reconfigure the installation location of solar arrays and equipment pads to accommodate established easements and emergency access routes; and 3)adjust array locations to accommodate existing site programs and hardcourt configurations, staff negotiated fixed unit pricing for all such pre-commencement design changes. This fixed pricing matrix was incorporated into the contract documents by way of exhibit.

On March 15, 2011 the Board of Education approved Change Order #1 for $1,860,247.19 for staff recommended changes/additions to the base system. This change order resulted in a revised contract price of $67,464,645.19 and an overall increase to system size of 285.85 kWp.

Staff has worked with District site administrators of all the Increment #2 sites and SunPower to complete the schematic design phase for the Increment #2 sites and is prepared to authorize final design and submission to the Department of the State Architect (DSA). Staff is recommending approval of a change order in the amount of $3,201,846.46 for the design, installtion,and 20 year maintenance, monitoring and guaranteed performance of system additions and modifications necessary to address District power and program requirements at the Increment #2 sites. This change order will result in a revised contract value of $70,666,491.65.
As a result of this proposed change order total system size for the Increment #2 sites would be increased to address projected HVAC loads from a contract base of 3,493.9 kWp to an increased system size of 3,927.6 kWp. For purposes of evaluation then, the resulting capital cost/kWp ratio for the Increment #2 sites is increased from $5862 per kWp to $6030.2 per kWp (an increase of.92%) Total system size is increased from a contract base of 11.191 MW to 11.91055 MW. The overall capital cost/kWp ratio is increased from $5862/kWp to $5933/kWp (<1%). As has been previously discussed, it is anticipated that collectively, District-wide system size would need to be increased by approximately 1 megawatt to address future HVAC loads. One additional pre-commencement change order request will be submitted for Increment #3 as systems are finalized and shared with site administrators and schematic designs are approved by the District Program Management team.

The implementation of the system changes identified in this Increment #2 change order will result in an additional projected thirty (30) year savings (avoided cost) in utility expenditures of $15,878,491.00 and an increase (over 5 years) in total CSI revenue of $555,920.00 for a thirty (30) year savings and revenue total of $20,834,571. This change would then contribute to a revised thirty (30) year projected savings/revenue total of $221,828,518.00.
