TITLE
Approval of Contract Amendment Number 1 to Contract Number S25190354 with Larratt Bros
Plumbing Inc. in the Amount of $410,000 for the Residential Emergency Water Heater
Replacement Pilot Program Within Electrification Programs; CEQA Status – Not a Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee
to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. S25190354 with Larratt Bros Plumbing Inc.
(Attachment A) to expand the Heat Pump Water Heater Pilot Program in an amount not-to-
exceed $410,000 for the Emergency Water Heater Replacement Pilot Program. This
amendment results in a revised total contract not-to-exceed amount of $495,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is seeking approval for contract amendment No. S25190354 for the Single-Family
Residential Emergency Water Heater Replacement (REWHR) Pilot Program to contribute to the
success of the Advanced Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Pilot Program in replacing a total of
1,000 gas water heaters. Staff is requesting to increase the contract an additional $410,000, to
enable expansion of the REWHR Pilot Program, by unencumbering funds from contract No.
C23186588, the Advanced HPWH Pilot Program. This additional budget will have no impact on
the General Fund or utility rates.
BACKGROUND
Staff and the community have been working to achieve the community’s greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions reduction goals of reducing GHG emissions 80% from 1990 levels by 2030, as adopted
in the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP). The current S/CAP was adopted in June
2023 along with the 2023-2025 S/CAP Work Plan.1 The 2023-2025 SCAP Work Plan includes
work item 2.1 D for the launch of a HPWH pilot to achieve the replacement of 1,000 gas water
heaters with HPWHs.

The “Advanced HPWH Pilot Program” was launched in March 2023.2 It includes rebates for
residents who hire their own contractors and a Full-Service program for those who want the
City to take care of the whole process, as well as the more recent addition of the Emergency
Replacement program in September 2024. As of July 22, 2024, 384 installations had been
completed through a combination of the City’s rebate program and Full-Service program, with
another 40 installations scheduled. Staff expects that the addition of the Emergency
Replacement program will increase the rate of installation. Many of the customers signing up
for the Full Service HPWH program have dropped out because they are in urgent need to
replace a leaking or broken water heater. The Full Service HPWH program is not designed to
accommodate emergency installations.
ANALYSIS
Gas tank water heaters typically last between 10 to 12 years. It is not uncommon for
homeowners to wait until the water heater shows signs of needing a replacement before they
call a plumber. Up to 85 percent of water heater replacements occur in an “emergency” when
the current water heater fails.3 In such an emergency scenario, the task of switching from a gas
water heater to a HPWH is often too complicated and takes too much time for the average
homeowner to handle when they are focused on restoring hot water to their family.
The REWHR Pilot Program is designed to serve the many homes experiencing water heater
failures that require rapid action, with a goal to restore hot water to customers within two
business days while helping the homeowner switch from a gas water heater to a HPWH.
Customers could opt to pay a premium covering work outside of standard business hours if
faster service is desired.
Solicitation Process
The City issued an RFP on February 29, 2024. Through a competitive RFP process, staff
identified Larratt Bros Plumbing as a provider with extensive experience performing HPWH
installations.
Table 1 summarizes the details of the RFP.

Proposals Price Range per Installed Heat Pump Water
Heater $8,000 - $25,500
The RFP responses (proposals) were evaluated based on several key criteria including the
quality of proposals, the specifics of the proposed solutions, the experience of the contractors
with heat pump water heaters and emergency water heater replacements, the proposed
program costs, ability to install heat pump water heaters in a timely way, and prior record of
performance for government agencies. Larratt Bros Plumbing was selected for this project
because they scored the highest of all bidders. They demonstrated an innovative approach to
replacing gas water heaters with heat pumps in a time sensitive and customer friendly way.
They also received high customer satisfaction scores as well as high praise from former project
collaborators.
Two of the bidders were deemed non-responsive due to lack of complete proposal packets. The
proposal that was selected (Larratt Bros Plumbing) included installed heat pump water heater
costs at the low end of the project cost range listed in Table 1, at $8,000.
In August, CPAU established an $85,000 contract with Larratt Brothers Plumbing to begin the
HPWH ER Pilot, covering up to 20 homes. Staff proposes a contract increase of $410,000 to
cover 100 or more homes. This would cover the current rebate of 55% of project costs up to
$3,500 per HPWH, permit fees, home assessments, and the cost of loaner water heaters, where
needed. The additional funds would ensure that HPWH ER Pilot can continue covering the first
100 homes as envisioned in the RFP. Their unique customer service tool, called Plunjr, allows
homeowners to enter the program quickly and obtain an assessment and quote for a new
HPWH.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The funding source for this contract is the budget for the Advanced Heat Pump Water Heater
Pilot Program, which includes budgets in both the electric and gas utility funds and is funded by
a combination of Public Benefits and Cap and Trade revenue sources.4 The HPWHs installed
through the HPWH ER Pilot will count towards the goal of 1,000 HPWHs in Palo Alto. Program
promotion and outreach will be funded through the climate reduction outreach budget
established in the FY 2025 Adopted Budget.
4 For the Full Service HPWH Program, City Council approved $1.25 million from Gas Cap and Trade Revenues, $4.5
million from Electrification Reserve (funded by the electric utility’s Electric Special Projects Reserve) at the
September 27, 2022 Council meeting. See Staff Report #14606.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The HPWH ER Pilot supports the Council-approved Sustainability Plan, the Council-approved
Ten-year Energy Efficiency Targets, Comprehensive Plan Goals N4.2.1 (educate customers on
efficient water use), N7.4.2 (implement cost effective energy efficiency programs for all
customers) and N7.7.2 (explore the transition of existing buildings from gas to electric or solar
water and space heating). The Pilot program also furthers the Utilities Strategic Plan
Collaboration priority (Strategy 1, increasing communication and engagement with the
community).
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Since December 2023, staff has reached out to customers who have signed up with the Full
Service HPWH program to get their feedback. This feedback has been invaluable for ongoing
improvements to the Full Service HPWH program and has also informed the design of the
HPWH ER program. In January 2024, staff presented the initial program design and solicited
feedback from the S/CAP Working Group on the HPWH ER Pilot, continuing discussions on this
topic in April and May 2024. Staff has also been in communication with Peninsula Clean Energy,
Silicon Valley Clean Energy, Marin Clean Energy, and Sacramento Municipal Utility District as
they prepare to launch similar HPWH ER programs in their service territories.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Council’s approval of the attached agreement described in this staff report does not meet the
definition of a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the
California Public Resources Code Section 21065, because it is not an activity that will cause a
direct physical change in the environment. In the alternative, Council’s approval of this
agreement is exempt from review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, as replacement of
existing facilities, and Section 15308, as an action taken for the protection of the environment.

EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES CONSULTANT shall provide the Services detailed in this Exhibit A, entitled “SCOPE OF
SERVICES”. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, CONSULTANT’s duties
and services described in this Scope of Services shall not include preparing or assisting CITY with any portion of CITY’s preparation of a request for proposals, request for qualifications, or any other solicitation regarding a subsequent or additional contract with CITY. CITY shall at all times retain responsibility for public contracting, including with respect to any subsequent phase
of this project. CONSULTANT’s participation in the planning, discussions, or drawing of
project plans or specifications shall be limited to conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications. CONSULTANT shall cooperate with CITY to ensure that all bidders for a subsequent contract on any subsequent phase of this project have access to the same information, including all conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications prepared by
CONSULTANT pursuant to this Scope of Services.
CONSULTANT will leverage its technical expertise and local experience to deliver the Heat
Pump Water Heater Emergency Replacement Pilot Program (“HPWH ER Pilot Program”, “HPWH ER Pilot” or “the Program”) to CITY/CPAU customers within the City of Palo Alto. The HPWH ER Pilot will provide emergency replacement service to Palo Alto residents living in
single-family homes and receiving utility service from City of Palo Alto Utilities. In addition,
Residential Energy Assistance Program (REAP) customers may also be eligible to participate in
the Program if they experience a sudden water heater failure; for eligible REAP customers, the
full cost of replacement with a HPWH will be covered by the CITY at the rate listed in Table C-
1. Replacements will include either the direct installation of a heat pump water heater or use of a
temporary gas water heater, with a heat pump water heater installation following necessary site
preparation work as described in the following 2 scenarios:
1. Instant Electrification – This scenario allows for immediate installation of a heat pump water
heater within 2 business days of the customer call.
2. Gas Loaner Electrification – Electrification may not be feasible within 2 business days if
additional electrical or site preparation work is needed. In this case, if a heat pump water heater
cannot be installed within 2 business days, consultant will install a temporary loaner water heater
while completing the necessary site preparation work for the permanent HPWH. Customers do
not have the option to keep the “loaner” gas water heater.
CPAU will offer a customer rebate to all projects that have completed a HPWH installation and
have passed final inspection. The invoice issued by CONSULTANT to the customer shall reflect
the full amount of the CPAU rebate (i.e. instant rebate).
A. HPWH ER Pilot Service Level Expectations (SLEs)
The following SLEs for the CONSULTANT’s performances of the Services are designed to
Docusign Envelope ID: 89609063-B82E-438D-9D8F-CC67956E95A7
Professional Services Rev. Jan 29, 2024 Page 14 of 38
deliver timely, quality service to customers and to achieve high customer satisfaction levels.
These metrics will be tracked on an ongoing basis to ensure that the CONSULTANT(s) are
meeting the SLEs.
1. Emergency replacements or loaner equipment must be installed within two business days
(defined as Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays) of a customer call. As an
example, if a customer calls on a Friday evening at 9pm, the emergency replacement
must be completed by the end of the business day on Tuesday assuming Monday and
Tuesday are non-holidays. Consultant will provide customers with the option to expedite
the emergency replacement during nights and weekends by paying overtime fees.
2. For customers receiving a water heater loaner, the permanent electric water heater must
be installed and in operation within 6 weeks of customer enrollment, barring electrical
panel service upgrade delays, or instances where the customer chooses not to move ahead
with the heat pump water heater.
3. 100% of the HPWH and gas water heater installations receive permits and pass final
inspection; and at least 80% of installation projects pass final inspection on the first time.
4. Achieve a minimum of 75% satisfaction rating from customer surveys.
B. HPWH ER Pilot Eligible Measures
CONSULTANT will deliver eligible measures as listed in Table C-1 of Exhibit “C,”
Compensation. CONSULTANT may request adding or deleting measures to the Program
and all such changes require the prior written consent of the CITY. All work completed
by CONSULTANT under this Agreement must comply with California’s most recently
adopted building and appliance efficiency standards.
C. HPWH ER Pilot Program Cost Allocation
CITY and customer will each pay a portion of the total installed costs as specified in
Exhibit “C”. The CITY bears no responsibility for any of CONSULTANT’s costs and/or
compensation associated with CONSULTANT’s performance of any Non-standard Site
Preparation and/or Installation Services, including Electrification Labor Rates; all such
compensation will remain the sole the responsibility of customers who elect to request
Electrification Site Preparation Services, as listed in Exhibit C.
The CITY bears no responsibility for any of CONSULTANT’s costs and/or
compensation associated with CONSULTANT’s delivery of extended parts and labor
warranties for any of the HPWH ER Pilot Program Eligible Measures; all such
compensation will remain the sole the responsibility of customers who elect to purchase
Extended Parts and Labor Warranties.
All customer payment amounts, Electrification Site Preparation Services costs,
Electrification Labor Rates and any Extended Parts and Labor Warranty costs, if

applicable, will be included and clearly disclosed in each customer’s Program
Participation Agreement.
D. HPWH ER Pilot Installation Program Staffing
CONSULTANT agrees to staff the Program in accordance with the Staffing plan set forth
in Table A-3. CONSULTANT shall notify the CITY concerning proposed changes to the
staffing plan, and all such changes require the prior written consent of the CITY.
CITY reserves the right to (i) request CONSULTANT conduct criminal background

EXHIBIT “F”
CYBERSECURITY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In order to assure the privacy and security of the personal information of the City's customers and people who do business with the City, including, without limitation, vendors, utility customers, library patrons, and other individuals and companies, who are required to share such information with the City,
as a condition of receiving services from the City or selling goods and services to the City, including, without limitation, the Software as a Service services provider (the "Consultant") and its subcontractors, if any, including, without limitation, any Information Technology ("IT") infrastructure services provider,
shall design, install, provide, and maintain a secure IT environment, described below, while it renders and performs the Services and furnishes goods, if any, described in the Statement of Work, Exhibit B, to the extent any scope of work implicates the confidentiality and privacy of the personal information of
the City's customers. The Consultant shall fulfill the data and information security requirements (the "Requirements") set forth in Part A below.
A "secure IT environment" includes (a) the IT infrastructure, by which the Services are provided to the City, including connection to the City's IT systems; (b) the Consultant's operations and maintenance processes needed to support the environment, including disaster recovery and business continuity planning; and (c) the IT infrastructure performance monitoring services to ensure a secure and reliable environment and service availability to the City. "IT infrastructure" refers to the integrated framework, including, without limitation, data centers, computers, and database management devices, upon which digital networks operate.
In the event that, after the Effective Date, the Consultant reasonably determines that it cannot fulfill the Requirements, the Consultant shall promptly inform the City of its determination and submit, in writing, one or more alternate countermeasure options to the Requirements (the "Alternate Requirements" as
set forth in Part B), which may be accepted or rejected in the reasonable satisfaction of the Information Security Manager (the "ISM").
Part A. Requirements:
The Consultant shall at all times during the term of any contract between the City and the Consultant:
(a)Appoint or designate an employee, preferably an executive officer, as the security liaison to theCity with respect to the Services to be performed under this Agreement.(b)Comply with the City's Information Privacy Policy:(c) Have adopted and implemented information security and privacy policies that are documented,are accessible to the City, and conform to ISO 27001/2 – Information Security ManagementSystems (ISMS) Standards. See the following:http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=42103http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=50297(d)Conduct routine data and information security compliance training of its personnel that isappropriate to their role.
(e)Develop and maintain detailed documentation of the IT infrastructure, including softwareversions and patch levels.(f)Develop an independently verifiable process, consistent with industry standards, for performing
professional and criminal background checks of its employees that (1) would permit verificationof employees' personal identity and employment status, and (2) would enable the immediatedenial of access to the City's confidential data and information by any of its employees who no

longer would require access to that information or who are terminated. (g) Provide a list of IT infrastructure components in order to verify whether the Consultant has met or has failed to meet any objective terms and conditions. (h) Implement access accountability (identification and authentication) architecture and support role-based access control ("RBAC") and segregation of duties ("SoD") mechanisms for all personnel, systems, and Software used to provide the Services. "RBAC" refers to a computer systems security approach to restricting access only to authorized users. "SoD" is an approach that would require more than one individual to complete a security task in order to promote the detection and prevention of fraud and errors.
(i) Assist the City in undertaking annually an assessment to assure that: (1) all elements of the Services' environment design and deployment are known to the City, and (2) it has implemented measures in accordance with industry best practices applicable to secure coding and secure IT
architecture. (j) Provide and maintain secure intersystem communication paths that would ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the City's information. (k) Deploy and maintain IT system upgrades, patches and configurations conforming to current patch and/or release levels by not later than one (1) week after its date of release. Emergency security patches must be installed within 24 hours after its date of release. (l) Provide for the timely detection of, response to, and the reporting of security incidents, including on-going incident monitoring with logging.
(m) Notify the City within one (1) hour of detecting a security incident that results in the unauthorized access to or the misuse of the City's confidential data and information. (n) Inform the City that any third party service provider(s) meet(s) all of the Requirements. (o) Perform security self-audits on a regular basis and not less frequently than on a quarterly basis, and provide the required summary reports of those self-audits to the ISM on the annual anniversary date or any other date agreed to by the Parties.
(p) Accommodate, as practicable, and upon reasonable prior notice by the City, the City's performance of random site security audits at the Consultant's site(s), including the site(s) of a third-party service provider(s), as applicable. The scope of these audits will extend to the
Consultant's and its third-party service provider(s)' awareness of security policies and practices, systems configurations, access authentication and authorization, and incident detection and response. (q) Cooperate with the City to ensure that to the extent required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the Confidential Information will be accessible only by the Consultant and any authorized third-party service provider's personnel. (r) Perform regular, reliable secured backups of all data needed to maximize the availability of the Services. Adequately encrypt the City of Palo Alto's data, during the operational process, hosted
at rest, and the backup stage at the Vendors' environment (including Vendor's contracting organization's environment). (s) Maintain records relating to the Services for a period of three (3) years after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and in a mutually agreeable storage medium. Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, all of those records relating to the performance of the Services shall be provided to the ISM.
(t) Maintain the Confidential Information in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local data and information privacy laws, rules, and regulations. (u) Encrypt the Confidential Information before delivering the same by electronic mail to the City and or any authorized recipient. (v) Provide Network Layer IP filtering services to allow access only from the City of Palo Alto's IP address to the Vendor environment (primarily hosted for the City of Palo Alto). (w) Offer a robust disaster recovery and business continuity (DR-BCP) solutions to the City for the systems and services the Vendor provides to the City.

(x) Provide and support Single Sign-on (SSO) and Multifactor Authentication (MFA) solutions for authentication and authorization services from the "City's environment to the Vendor's environment," and Vendor's environment to the Vendor's cloud services/hosted environment." The Vendor shall allow two employees of the City to have superuser and super-admin access to the Vendor's IT environment, and a cloud-hosted IT environment belongs to the City. (y) Unless otherwise addressed in the Agreement, shall not hold the City liable for any direct, indirect or punitive damages whatsoever including, without limitation, damages for loss of use, data or profits, arising out of or in any way connected with the City's IT environment, including, without limitation, IT infrastructure communications.
(z) The Vendor must provide evidence of valid cyber liability insurance policy per the City’s EXHIBIT “D” INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Part B. Alternate Requirements:

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Palo Alto (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
