Development Services Division
Nicholas Camarena joined Central San as an Engineering Assistant I in the Planning and
Development Services Division effective June 30, 2020. Nick comes to Central San from
the City of Pittsburg, where he was formerly a permit technician. Prior to this, he worked
for 13 years in dry utilities, with the bulk of his experience working with communication
companies building fiber networks around the United States. He was born and grew up in
the Bay Area but spent several years working and living in Los Angeles. Nick is happy to
be joining a close-knit team serving Central San's Permit Counter.
SOLAR PROJECT
2) Request for Proposals Issued and Notices Mailed to Blum Road
Neighborhood for Solar Array Project on North End of Blum Road
Staff has issued the request for proposals (RFP) for a Power Purchase Agreement for a
1.75-megawatt solar array on approximately 5.5 acres of Central San's Lagiss property.
The selected vendor will design, construct, operate, and maintain the solar array for up to
25 years. The project goals include a brief construction period, minimal ongoing
maintenance activity, and minimizing panel visibility from neighboring residential areas to
preserve the site's rural appearance. The project will generate nearly $4 million in
savings over 25 years and avoid 1,865 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually,
equivalent to 4,600,000 million vehicle miles driven.
On July 6, 2020, notification letters about the project were mailed to property owners in
the surrounding neighborhood. These letters included a map of the preferred location of
the solar facility on the Lagiss property and the following Project Schedule:
