These agreements cover the roles and responsibilities associated with federal aid funds and allow for MnDOT to act as a local agency’s agent in accepting these funds for construction projects. If the City does not get a new executed DCP agreement MnDOT’S Office of State Aid for Local Transportation (SALT) may not be able to request federal authorization for any future City federally funded transportation projects. Currently, there are no City transportation projects planned using federal dollars. But should the opportunity present itself in the future (such as a successful grant), then this agreement would already be in place.

The applicants would like to amend the use specific standards for vehicle sales to allow vehicle sales north of Lombardy Lane. On November 14 the Planning Commission held the public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the text amendment. No one from the public provided comments. At the December 20, 2022 City Council meeting the Council is being asked to approve second reading and adoption of the ordinance and adopt a resolution for summary publication. The first reading of the ordinance was approved by the Council on December 6, 2022. Attachments: A.Proposed ordinance amendment B.Resolution approving summary ordinance B.PROPOSED AMENDMENT Vehicle sales north of Lombardy Lane . The city received a request from Premier Motors at 6048-6058 Lakeland Ave N to allow vehicle sales from Lombardy Lane to a point 368 feet north, encompassing two existing motor vehicle sales businesses (attachment A). Currently vehicle sales are allowed as a permitted use in the commercial district, but not north of 56th Avenue (Bass Lake Road). Therefore, vehicle sales at Premier are COUNCIL STAFF REPORT UDC Text Amendment 5.2 UDC TEXT AMENDMENT PAGE 2 OF 3 classified as “legally nonconforming”, which allows for the use to contin ue but it cannot be expanded. With this change Premier Motors and Jack’s Auto Sales would be able to expand and improve sales lots on their current properties. The aerial photo on the next page shows the two properties. There is precedent for allowing vehicle sales in a smaller area – vehicle sales are allowed to a point 660’ north of the intersection of Winnetka and 36 th Avenues. The zoning map excerpt below shows the properties where vehicle sales would be allowed as a result of this amendment. Jack’s would have to combine 6043 Florida Avenue with their 6030 Lakeland lot to take advantage of this change. C.

The proposed streets pickup will be replacing the existing streets pickup (#307) in the public works fleet that was purchased in 2012. The Fleet Maintenance Fund has $75,000 allocated for this purchase. The Vehicle Condition Index (VCI) for the existing 307 is 20. 23 is the minimum to consider for replacement. The reason this truck is being replaced a bit early is we are trying to extend the life of the truck by shifting it to primarily seasonal use by recreational or PW seasonal staff. When in use by seasonal staff, the primary function of the vehicle is just transporting people, as compared to hauling material and towing trailers. The proposed truck has a larger cab so we will be able to carry more staff at one time to a job site, thus reducing the number of vehicles on site. It is also better suited for towing trailers. Examples of tasks include patching potholes, crack sealing, and small job sites primarily using hand tools. Quotes Due to no pickup trucks being available on the State contract, or any other cooperative purchasing agreement, staff solicited two quotes from different vendors. • Gilleland Chevrolet $55,970 (plus tax, title, and license) • North Country Chevrolet $60,460 (plus tax, title, and license) Attachment •Quote from Gilleland Chevrolet Recommended Action •Motion to approve the resolution authorizing the purchase of the replacement streets pickup truck 5.3 5.3 5.3 RESOLUTION NO. 2022- _____ APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT STREETS PICKUP TRUCK WHEREAS, the Crystal City Council is committed to providing and maintaining quality infrastructure that is essential for everyday residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational activities in the City; and WHEREAS, a streets pickup truck is used regularly for various street maintenance activities; and WHEREAS, the existing streets pickup truck scored close to replacement on the vehicle condition index and will be used as a seasonal vehicle until it scores higher on the VCI; and WHEREAS, funds are allocated in the Fleet Maintenance Fund for this replacement purchase; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council hereby approves the purchase of a pickup truck from Gilleland Chevrolet for $55,970. Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 20th day of December 2022. Jim Adams, Mayor ATTEST: Chrissy Serres, City Clerk 5.3 Memorandum DATE: December 20, 2022 TO: City Council FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Solar panel construction on the City Hall Campus Background As part of the requirements of getting the $4 million dollars from the state for the new police department building, the City needed to install solar panels on the roof of the new PD. Additionally, a portion of the previously installed solar panel system had to be removed as part of the new police department construction. However, with the installation of the new solar system, the remainder of the old system needs to be removed as it is no longer functioning and cannot function due to safety requirements. This removal must take place because the old system is not compatible with the new system and per safety regulations all solar panel systems on a building must be connected and have a single disconnect. Basically, there needs to be a single power kill switch so that the solar panels do not put power back into the system multiple ways which could electrocute someone working on the electrical system or power lines connected to the building. The City worked with the State to obtain proposals for the solar system. Three proposals were received and SolarPod scored the highest among all the reviewers. Cost Total cost (year 1) = $109,330 -Installation of new solar system on top of police department = $91,080 -10 years of maintenance of new solar system on top of police department = $2,000 per year -Removal of existing, non-functional solar system = $16,250 Funding Funding for this project will come from the police department building project.

I am confident you will find our proposal informative, compelling and compliant with your RFP specifications. I believe we are eminently qualified to meet the solar needs of the City and, provide on time and on budget service for this project. To date, we have installed over 1100 systems in 40 states, and we have installed over 15 MW of projects in the last year. Most recently, we completed a 320 kW of ground mounted solar at the Hindu Temple of Maple Grove, 600 kW The Towne Shoppes New Jersey, 505 kW Pocantico Hills High School New York, 410 kW of rooftop solar at Edina Public Schools, 240 kW of solar at Edina Bus Garage, 33 kW of solar at Manitou Apartments and 80 kW of solar at Gear West Ski & Run using Minnesota-made materials. From a construction standpoint, we are dedicated to quality construction, systems and components, and we take an engineering heavy approach. We are always conservative and realistic with our assumptions, materials and vendors. We are proud that in our 13+ years in business in Minnesota we are the only solar contractor that has all of our installed systems fully operational, and all components and vendors that we have worked with are still ongoing partnerships (i.e. we use sound technology judgement). As the only MN State Master Contractor who has successfully been selected by the MN State three time, we executed three projects to completion (30 kW Edina Public School Bus Garage, 410 kW Edina Public Schools, Cornelia Elementary, 240 kW on Edina Bus Garage). Below are a few of the team capabilities that we’d like to highlight and that enables our success: Commitment to Local Resources: For these projects, we will use Minnesota labor and support services. From design, labor, racking, accounting and legal to engineering and construction, virtually all of our hires and contractors are local. Additionally, we are proud to be using the SolarPod racking 5.4 4 system as one of the major components of the solar array. This patented racking is for pitched roofs (Z Rack) and Flat Roofs (Z-Lite). This racking is designed, engineered and manufactured right here in our home state to further develop the economic resources of Minnesota. We are also committed to diversity. SolarPod (aka Mouli Engineering) is a certified DBE, and our Director of Community Relations and Communications is a woman, our Lead Installer is a person of color, and two members of our install team are veterans. Financing Capabilities: Beyond our engineering and construction capabilities, we recognize the critical importance of professional execution to make projects a reality. Having participated in this industry for more than a decade, we have seen too many projects wither and die on the vine due to improper financing capabilities. On our extended team, we have more than a decade of renewable energy financing experience, with over 300MW of projects financed under leases, PPAs and other third-party owned structures. Engineering Focus: Our founder, Mouli Vaidyanathan, founded our company here in Minnesota in 2009 as a Disadvantaged Business Entity (as defined by 49 CFR §26). Our focus has been on installing no roof penetration solar systems on pitched roofs and flat roofs. Our flat roof solution known as Z Lite is the lightest weight solar solution in the world with 95% of its materials fully recyclable, compared to over 50% from our competition going to landfill at end of life. Our design is UL 2703 Listed, wind tested and is patented. It has been installed in high wind zones (150 mph), high seismic zones (SDS value = 1.5) and high snow loads (≥ 2 ft of snow). With a PhD in metallurgical engineering, and with an eye towards quality engineering standards, I have been able to grow my business, promote renewable energy and provide economic opportunity for Minnesotans. As we have grown, we have installed our SolarPod racking along with other high- quality components and systems in the majority of the United States. This same dedication to quality will be a focus of our work with the City of Crystal. SolarPod has the strength and financial stability to be a solid partner to the City of Crystal. We have been a local business for 14 years and have a reputation for quality. We have installations across the country, our products are carried in two of the five top home improvement stores (Lowe’s and Menard’s), we have a growing list of US patents, and our work is covered by both ample insurance and a performance and payment bond. 1.

We applaud the City’s dedication to affordable, clean energy and appreciate the opportunity to participate in its procurement process. We have taken a best-practice, standard approach to developing this proposal. In summary, we have prepared a Cash purchase and sized a solar array to meet the needs of the City at the optimal output and value of solar. We have designed the example system using best-in-class components and materials to create a quality and well-engineered system for long-term performance. We have the experience along with permitting, installation and commissioning experience required to execute this project at the highest satisfaction guaranteed. Exceptions Statement I have the power and authority to bind us to the contract should we be chosen as the winner and given the right to negotiate a contract with the City. Proposal requirements 1.0 Price quotes– Submit on separate price sheets provided. Please see direct cash purchase attached. 1.1 Timeline/Project Schedule. We anticipate construction to be completed in spring of 2023. 5.4 7 1.2 Equipment Information System description As solar experts we work with Electrical, Structural, Environmental and Civil Professional Engineers to bring them in to provide consultations and stamped reports to authenticate the designs we create. We will work with the entities to provide the best engineering and cost-effective solution. We select manufacturers of system components very carefully. We are the only Minnesota Company that has all our systems functional in the over a decade long of doing business and over 15 MW installed in these years. We attributed this to our heavy engineering focus and high quality and reliability for our selected components. We will select only tier 1 companies like the Bloomberg Tier 1 Q2 2022 list. Design Highlights We are proposing the following in our design: 1. Solar modules: Bifacial Q Cell 480W solar Modules. Q Cell are a top tier brand. BiFacial solar module comes with 22.7% efficiency and provides energy generation on reflected light. 2. Inverter: We are proposing to use SMA Core 1 inverter. The Core 1 inverter is an award winning inverter. And SMA is a German company that has been providing solar inverters since 1982. 3. Racking: We propose to use Z Lite with the following advantages: a. Very few concrete blocks. We will have 25 concrete blocks for the entire array as compared to 200 concrete blocks for conventional. Concrete is the highest greenhouse emitting material in the world. b. Lowest trash use. Fewer concrete means fewer trash dumpsters onsite. c. Tried system and has been installed in Edina Public School and New York Long island School districts, d. Lightest weight flat roof solution. Our aggregate weight for the City of Crystal solar system is expected to be 2.83 psf. e. End of life 98% recyclable. f. Concrete blocks rest 1.5” over the roof surface. This allows an air gap protecting the roof surface and extending the roof life. And keeps the roof cooler than conventional. When conventional systems are placed, the concrete blocks absorb heat, retain the heat, and increase the building’s A/C loads. By reducing the concrete block and providing an air gap between the roof surface and the concrete block we ensure building energy is optimized. Layout of installation Please see Appendix 1. Below is an MN solar installation of a 40 kW solar array using Z Lite at 10 degree tilt and 180 degrees Azimuth. The absence of significant number of concrete blocks is obvious. 5.4 8 Selection of key equipment and layout of equipment The interconnection voltage is 277/480V. We have selected SMA Core 1 33 kW inverter with APSmart Rapid Shutdown (RSD) devices. The inverter has a 98% efficiency. SMA is one of the oldest inverter companies in the world and provides a 10 year warranty which can be extended to 20 years with additional cost. The solar modules we have selected is Q Cell 480W BiFacial Module. This module is 20.7% to 22.7% efficiency. The range in efficiency is due to the BiFacial nature of the module. When there is sufficient back and peripheral reflection the efficiency can increase. The module comes with a 12 year product warranty and 25 year performance warranty. We will use the SolarPod’s made in MN Z Lite racking solution. Z Lite is the lightest weight flat roof solar racking solution at 4.2 lbs per sq.ft. It is also the most sustainable, green and recyclable solar racking solution with 95% of the racking fully recyclable compared to less than 50% of conventional. Z Lite weight distribution is anticipated to be 3 psf on the roof. See below table. Conventional solar racking would use approximately 276 concrete blocks for this layout while Z Lite would use 25 concrete blocks. Area (sqft) 2240 Weight of Mods + Racking (lbs) 6338.5 Weight Distribution (psf) 2.83 # of Concrete Blocks 25 Z Lite has been installed in Edina Public schools and New York Long Island Schools. Performance of equipment components, and subsystems with accompanying reports We anticipate solar generation to be between 1100 and 1200 kWh per kW per year. This will amount to a capacity factor of 13 to 14%. We have run the PV Watts estimator. We are very conservative and realistic in our solar generation forecasts and this is based on 14 years of experience in generation forecasting. 5.4 9 Specifications for equipment procurement and installation This is a rooftop solar system hence per NEC the max allowed voltage should not exceed 600V. We will design the system to NEC specifications and install using licensed electricians and building contractors. We have selected SMA 33kW inverter for a 33kW solar DC system. This will allow the City to place 17 kW of additional solar for expansion if they so decide in the future without significant modification. 5.4 10 The SMA inverter is “smart inverter capable” allowing for IEC 61850 communication and can perform the seven autonomous grid support functions (i.e., State of California’s Electric Tariff Rule 21), and is compatible to operate under IEEE 1547-2018 standards. All engineering associated with structural and mounting details Z Lite weight distribution is anticipated to be 3 psf on the roof. See below table. We do not see any issues with our weight distribution for the joists and purlins on the building. See appendix for details. Conventional solar racking would use approximately 276 concrete blocks for this layout while Z Lite would use 25 concrete blocks. Area (sqft) 2240 Weight of Mods + Racking (lbs) 6338.5 Weight Distribution (psf) 2.83 # of Concrete Blocks 25 Z Lite has been installed in Edina Public schools and New York Long Island Schools. Controls, monitors, and instrumentation We will use SMA monitoring. We could use the building internet connection or use a parallel cell network. Parallel cell network connection will require monthly payment to a cell subscriber for the service. The monitoring will be online hence an alarm will be present whenever a fault occurs and SolarPod’s service team will be notified immediately to schedule troubleshoot and fix. Operation and maintenance service plan for year 1 of project operation. Contractor is welcome to submit servicing quote for subsequent project years. A framework and some guiding principles of our standard O&M plan is given below. Our plan is adapted from best practices as defined by NREL’s Best Practices in Photovoltaic Systems Operations and Maintenance: 3rd Edition1. • List of responsible-party contact information including site owner and offtaker of power, utility, local jurisdiction, local landowner, as well as emergency numbers. • System documentation including as-built drawings, specifications, site plans, photo records, special safety considerations, electrical single-line diagrams, schematics, drawings, installed components’ “cut sheets” and warranties, operation manuals associated with any of the equipment (including emergency shut-down and normal operating procedures), and contracts for preventive maintenance, service, and other operations documents. • Uphold manufacturers’ preventative-maintenance measures to preserve warranties and to optimize system energy delivery, and the schedule for each. • Descriptions of operational indicators, meters, and error messages; description of any physical monitoring setup and procedures by which performance data are to be archived 1 https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73822.pdf 5.4 11 and reported; and procedures by which data are regularly examined for system diagnostics and analytics. • Keep an inventory of spare parts onsite, or easily accessed by maintenance crew. • Clearly define availability and performance metrics, and events outside of management control. We anticipate a cost of $0.05/W or $2,000 per year for operation and maintenance. This estimate will increase at an annual rate of 2.5% with appropriate adjustments to inflation. 1.3 Installation Interconnection Information Solar electric array orientation (degrees) and tilt (degrees) The solar array will be pointing due south (180o degrees). The modules will be tilted to 10o degrees. Electrical grid interconnection requirements The grid voltage on-stie is 277/480V. We have chosen to use SMA Core 1 inverter which is a grid tied 277/480V inverter. We have observed Xcel Energy to perform grid studies in localities where >15% solar is present. And if the study indicates a transformed upgrade on the grid, Xcel has passed this cost to the customer. We have not budgeted for this in our estimates. Integration of solar PV system with other power sources The inverter will be a parallel connection to the grid using existing building gear. We can provide consumption and solar generation monitoring for the building using third party devices. We have not budget this in our estimates but have the knowledge, experience and skills to install this system. System type and mode of operation (utility interactive) The grid voltage on-stie is 277/480V. We have chosen to use SMA Core 1 inverter which is a grid tied 277/480V inverter. We have observed Xcel Energy to perform grid studies in localities where >15% solar is present. And if the study indicates a transformed upgrade on the grid, Xcel has passed this cost to the customer. We have not budgeted for this in our estimates. 1.4 Financing and Financial Terms Please see attached price. Since the project is in Crystal and is within 50 miles from our facility we are providing only “within 50 miles” cost estimate. The cash price estimate based on the RFP is $91,080. This cost estimate does not include : 1. any tasks/work that we may be required to do by Xcel regarding existing solar on the City facilities. 2. Cell service addition to the monitoring of the solar system if an outside third party service is required due to internet firewalls. 5.4 12 1.5 Appendix Site Plan One Line Diagram Module Layout Inverter Data Sheet Module Data Sheet Racking Data Sheet DBE Certificate 5.4 5.4 5.4 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 5.4 5.4 5.4 5.4 5.4 5.4 www.SMA-America.comSTP33-US-41 / STP50-US-41 / STP62-US-41Fully integrated • Innovative design requires no additional racking for rooftop installation • Integrated DC and AC disconnects and overvoltage protection • 12 direct string inputs for reduced labor and material costs Increased power, flexibility • Multiple power ratings for small to large scale commercial PV installations • Six MPP trackers for flexible stringing and maximum power production • OptiTrac™ Global Peak shade tolerant MPP tracking Enhanced safety, reliability • Integrated SunSpec PLC signal for module-level rapid shutdown compliance to 2017 NEC • Next-gen DC AFCI arc-fault protection certified to new Standard UL 1699B Smart monitoring, control, service • Advanced smart inverter grid support capabilities • Increased ROI with SMA ennexOS cross sector energy management platform • SMA Smart Connected proactive O&M solution reduces time spent diagnosing and servicing in the field SUNNY TRIPOWER CORE1 33-US / 50-US / 62-US It stands on its own The Sunny Tripower CORE1 is the world’s first free-standing PV inverter for commercial rooftops, carports, ground mount and repowering legacy solar projects.
