______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, this Board of Supervisors, on June 8, 2004, adopted Resolution No. 66717, which resolution authorized execution of a contract to construct a cogeneration plant at Maguire Correctional Facility, and

WHEREAS, the installation of the cogeneration plant qualifies for a one-time incentive of $300,000 from the California Public Utilities Commission program that is administered by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Self-Generation Incentive Program); and

WHEREAS, a condition of receiving the $300,000 incentive is that the cogeneration equipment must be maintained and warranted for a period of three years; and

WHEREAS, the cogeneration equipment has been installed at the Maguire Correction Facility; and

WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has been able to find only one contractor that will maintain and warrant the equipment for a period of three years as required for receiving said grant; and

WHEREAS, this Board has examined and approved said Agreement as to both form and content and desires to enter into the same; and

WHEREAS, although said contractor has declined to execute the certification of compliance with the requirements of the County Equal Benefits Ordinance, in light of the benefits to be gained from the transaction, this Board of Supervisors determines that it is appropriate to waive the requirement that Contractor certify compliance with said Ordinance.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that:

1.

the President of the Board is hereby authorized to execute an agreement with Coast Intelligen, Inc. for the maintenance and warranty of the cogeneration equipment at Maguire Correctional Facility for three years, and
