BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
savings from a reduced electric bill will compound as utility costs continue to increase. Given the industry’s
expectation that utility costs will continue to rise over the next 20 years, the solar system is estimated to save the
County a total of $2 million over the span of 20 years.
On March 11, 2014, the County entered into a construction contract with Borrego Solar Systems, Inc. for the
subject project. The above contract has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
It is recommended that the work covered by the contract be accepted by adopting a Resolution of Acceptance and
Notice of Completion (Resolution No. 2015/135).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Accepting a contract as complete is standard procedure and allows for proper closeout of the contract. If the above
contract is not accepted as complete, the period for filing stop payment notices and bond claims may be extended.
