Public Works and
Schneider explored
multiple scope
packages to address
facility needs across 5
primary sites; storage

The Deferred Maintenance Rosemead Is Carrying Right Now
R-22 is EPA non-compliant
and the City Hall plant
dates back to 1998. Repair
parts carry long lead times
and might be obsolete, so
a single failure
means potential downtime
without cooling in an
occupied public building.
Construction costs rose an
average of 6.8% per year
over the last five years
while reserves grow at
roughly 4%. Deferral does
not avoid this cost. It
raises it every year we
wait.

4 Units Failed in the
Last 60 Days
1970s Zinsco Panels
Still Energized
Aging and failing
mechanical units at the
end of useful life.
16 of 17 rooftop units and
split systems at Garvey
Community Center are
past 20 years of service.
These are not projected
failures.
Banned Refrigerant,
Obsolete Parts
Waiting Costs More Than
Acting
Existing electrical
switchboards and panels
at City Hall and RCRC do
not meet electrical code.
Breakers are prone to fail
to trip, allowing dangerous
electrical currents to
continue flowing.
Removing safety hazard is
high priority.
Property of Schneider Electric |Page 5
Critical Infrastructure at End of Life
Community Space Resilience
Guarantees optimal temperature, indoor air
quality and improved lighting across public
parks, community centers, and administrative
offices
City Wide LED Lighting Standard
Almost 1,200 LED Lighting Solutions will be
installed bringing higher quality, improved
safety and energy efficiency throughout your
project sites
Ensuring Safe and Reliable Electrical systems
Removes existing safety hazards, assures
electrical compliance, and establishes the
foundational hardware necessary to support
smart building energy management systems.
Stabilizes Municipal Operations
Replaces aging HVAC equipment, obsolete
components, and pneumatic controls—
safeguarding facilities against service
disruptions, emergency capital costs and
closure risks
The Shifting of Risk
Schneider Electric operates as a single point
of accountability (Design-Build Entity).
Rosemead is insulated from internal change
orders due to design gaps or scheduling
delays.
Implementing a Deferred Maintenance
Plan with a Capital Recovery Program
Allows the city to transition from "reactive
crisis management" to "proactive fiscal
stewardship"
