RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH SAN DIEGO REFRIGERATED SERVICES, INC., REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF OF WAREHOUSE B AT THE TENTH AVENUE MARINE TERMINAL
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with San Diego Refrigerated Services, Inc. (SDRS), regarding the placement of solar photovoltaic (PV) on the roof of Warehouse B on the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (TAMT). (Attachment A)
The proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the San Diego Unified Port District (District) and SDRS would facilitate the placement of solar PV on the roof of Warehouse B on the TAMT, as part of the of the California Energy Commission (CEC) grant-funded Resiliency in Terminal Operations Project (Microgrid Project).
This agreement designates the space for each party to install solar PV on the roof of Warehouse B. This agreement is aligned with the CEC microgrid grant funding received and accepted by the Board on June 12, 2018 (Attachment C, 2018-0185). The placement of solar PV on the Warehouse B roof was analyzed as part of designing the microgrid, which included an analysis of available roof area and proximity and access to the District's electrical infrastructure. Warehouse B also had the largest available roof space on the terminal.
This agenda item represents an important component of the Microgrid Project facilitating the installation of solar PV on the TAMT. In addition, the TAMT Microgrid Project fulfills a portion of the mitigation requirements of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the TAMT Redevelopment Plan and Demolition and Initial Rail Component Project (TAMT Final EIR), Second Addendum approved by this Board on April 10, 2018 (Attachment B, 2018-0086).
