From www.districtgov.org website.... minutes from district 5 Feb 20th meeting regarding solar lighting at villa entrances. Looks like a done deal to me. You might be able to read back in agendas/minutes from earlier month's meetings to find where this project formulation was discussed and the rationale for it.

This is not always the best organized website but there is a wealth of information on it.

Here ya go....

Acceptance of Selection Committee – RFP #09P-022
Purchase of Villa Entry Solar Lighting Systems.
Eva Rey, Purchasing/Support Services Director, stated Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP)
for the purchase of villa entry solar lighting systems for Districts 5, 6 and 7. Ms. Rey advised following
the proposals submitted and presentations made, the Selection Committee is recommending the Board
award RFP #09P-022 to Allsolar Service Company for a cost of $2,779.28, installed without borings, for
a single sign wall entry and $3,395.20, installed without borings, for two (2) sign wall entries. Sam
Wartinbee, District Property Management, stated estimated costs, inclusive of borings for the 24 villa
entries within District 5 that require the installation of solar lighting is $89,000. Staff had budgeted
$72,000 for the project; however, funds are available in the Capital Infrastructure line item that can be
transferred to offset the additional unforeseen costs of the borings.
Vice-Chairman Runyon inquired if landscape material would have to be removed for the project.
Sam Wartinbee stated the landscaping may have to be adjusted and additional plants may have to be

added to hide the solar panels.

The District 5 board did vote unanimously to approve this contract.
