A. Power Purchase Agreement for a Solar Power System at Angelus and Garvey Senior
Housing
Levine Management Group, the management company of the two senior complexes owned
by the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation (RHDC), has proposed installation of
solar panels at the Angelus Senior,Complex and the Garvey Senior Complex.
Their interest in investigating the possibility of installing solar electricity systems at the
buildings arose as the result of the availability of significant rebates offered by Southern
California Edison (SCE). SCE is a participant in the Multifamily Affordable Solar Housing
(MASH) Program that provides up to 60% of the cost of solar systems. The MASH Program
has been designed specifically to facilitate the acceleration of solar power in the affordable
housing sector in California. .
The proposed project will produce an alternative source of energy for the Angelus Senior
Complex and the Garvey Senior Complex. The goal is to enter into a Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) for both complexes so the RHDC will have a secure energy source
alternative that will be below the cost spent for that same amount of energy purchased from
SCE over the life of the PPA's.

Projects Requiring such Program as a Condition of Funding

works projects, or it may be a "third party" program with which awarding bodies contract to
enforce prevailing wage requirements. The most prominent types of projects for which a
LCP is required are school construction projects and water related projects funded by bond
measures. LCPs are also required for several kinds of public works contracts including the
Statewide Park Development Community Revitalization Program of 2008.
