______________________________________________________________

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

WHEREAS, when the Board of Supervisors adopted the Cool Counties Declaration in October of 2007, it committed to reducing the County’s carbon (CO2) footprint 80% below current levels by 2050. To help achieve that goal, the Board approved the San Mateo Solar Genesis project, which will enable the use of solar energy to help power County facilities, and will make the County a renewable energy leader; and

WHEREAS, at the Board’s direction, staff issued an RFP in late 2008, and selected a collaboration between Alliance Roofing, Inc., and its exclusive subcontractor, K2 Solar, as the contractor for the Solar Genesis Project., to be funded with a combination of federal and county funds; and

WHEREAS, in order to secure favorable pricing for the solar panels, on August 4, 2009, the Board adopted Resolution No. 070306, authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute agreements for the funding, design, engineering, and construction of the Solar Genesis Project. The resolution was worded in very general terms, as the County’s receipt of necessary federal funding was not yet certain; and

WHEREAS, in early 2010, the federal funding for this project became available, and the Board approved an ATR to authorize the expenditure of the County’s share of the funds; and

WHEREAS, based on the general authority of Resolution No. 070306, the Director of Public Works has signed the agreement with Alliance Roofing, which specifies that K2 Solar is the exclusive sub-contractor for the solar panels, and this Board wishes to ratify the Director of Public Works’ execution of said agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED this Board ratifies the Director of Public Works’ execution of the agreement with Alliance Roofing in the amount of Two Million Seven Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Three Hundred Fifteen dollars ($2,725,315) for the period of March 19, 2010 to October 1, 2010.

IT IS FURTHER DETERMINED AND ORDERED THAT the Director of Public Works, or the Director’s designee, is hereby authorized to execute contract revision orders related to the authorized Solar Genesis contract, in an aggregate amount not exceeding Four Hundred Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Seven dollars ($408,797), which is Fifteen percent (15%) of the contract amount, for a maximum aggregate expenditure not to exceed Three Million One Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand One Hundred Twelve dollars ($3,134,112).
