Generation of Solar Power at Garthe and West Pump Station Facilities Project a I:I Bureau of Reclamation Water Energy and Efficiency Grant FY2022 emissions. In doing so, the Project addresses this adaptation strategy specifically identified in the completed Watersmart Basin Study. D.5.2. Subcriterion D.2— Readiness to Proceed Identify and provide a summary description of the major tasks necessary to complete the project. Note: please do not repeat the more detailed technical project description provided in Section D.2.2.4.; this section should focus on a summary of the major tasks to be accomplished as part of the project. 1. City of Santa Ana Building Dept. to issue appropriate building permits. 2. Southern California Edison (SCE) to approve plans and issue permit. 3. City staff to implement Public Bid process to determine the lowest responsible bidder, in compliance with State of California Public Contracts Code. 4. Santa Ana City Council to award construction contract (to the lowest responsible bidder). 5. City will manage the project during construction phase. 6. Grant Compliance: The City of Santa Ana has professional grant consultants on contract that will utilize to assure all the Bureau of Reclamation requirements are met in a timely manner. • Describe any permits that will be required, along with the process for obtaining such permits. Following permits will be required: • City of Santa Ana Building Department permit • SCE permit • Identify and describe any engineering or design work performed specifically in support of the proposed project. Newcomb Anderson McCormick (NAM), a Willan Company prepared a "Water Systems Alternative Energy Feasibility Study" which the City approved in February 2019. This study included an evaluation of the potential to install on -site renewable energy systems to offset some of the City's electrical load, lower electric bills, and reduce the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The renewable energy resources that were evaluated included installing solar PV modules on the roofs of the storage tanks at the Garthe and West pump stations and included some preliminary designs. These designs were simulated using HelioScope, an industry standard PV simulation program. This program uses a local weather data file and calculates the hourly performance of the system based on the angle of insolation, air temperature, wind speed, intensity of clouds, etc. 23 PREVIEW Date: Nov 03, 2021 Workspace ID: WS00800354 Funding Opportunity Number: R22AS00023
