Council at their November 9, 2006 meeting directed staff to re-evaluate a proposal for the Council approved solar expansion project at Town Hall. After completion of the preliminary engineering study and an in-depth discussion with the Environmental Initiatives Committee, a second Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent out to consultants. On March 7, 2007, the Town received three proposals. The low bid was submitted by SolarCity in the amount of$78,530.00 for the installation of three solar trackers. The Performance Base Rebates over the first five years was estimated at approximately $43,000.00 with a net system cost of $35,420.00. Louie expected the system cost to be recovered in 8.4 years. Councilmember Kerr offered that the project costs were less than expected and the trackers would serve as a good demonstration project for residences interested in different methods of solar energy. Council thanked Kerr for his efforts and supported the project. They concurred that the new proposal had a shorter payback and was more cost effective.
