Consider recommendations regarding Laguna County Sanitation District Photovoltaic Solar Inverter

Replacement, Fourth and Fifth Districts, as follows:

Acting as the Board of Directors, Laguna County Sanitation District:

a) Find that it is in the best interest of the Laguna County Sanitation District to enter into an energy

services contract with Endelos Energy, Inc. (a Santa Barbara County vendor) to provide

conservation services because the anticipated cost for electrical energy under the contract will be

less than the anticipated marginal cost for electrical energy that would have been consumed in the

absence of those purchases;

b) Award an energy services contract to Endelos Energy, Inc. (a Santa Barbara County vendor) in

the amount of $199,821.26 to replace inverters to the photovoltaic solar facility located at the

Laguna County Sanitation District wastewater reclamation plant;

c) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the energy services contract with Endelos Energy,

LLC; and

d) Find that the proposed action is for the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving no

expansion of the use beyond that which presently exists, and that the proposed action is therefore

exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to 14 CCR 15301.
