Substitute resolution authorizing the Department of Administration to enter into a Solar Services Agreement to design, supply, install, commission, maintain, finance, and co-own 1.1 megawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on 6 City buildings.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Department of Administration to enter into a Solar Services Agreement to design, supply, install, commission, maintain, finance, and co-own 1.1 megawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on 6 City buildings.
