Board adopts updated five-year Capital Facilities Improvement Plan, highlights microgrids and EV infrastructure
Summary
The board conducted a public hearing and adopted the updated five-year Capital Facilities Improvement Plan (CFIP) for fiscal years 2024-25 through 2028-29, detailing projects, funding sources, interactive online tools and forward planning items including microgrids, solar canopies and EV infrastructure.
The Solano County Board of Supervisors reviewed and adopted the county's updated five-year Capital Facilities Improvement Plan (CFIP) covering FY 2024-25 through FY 2028-29 and heard a presentation on project priorities, funding sources and a new interactive web-based CFIP tool.
Megan Gravy, general services director, and Georgette Portier, CAO analyst and former capital projects coordinator, described an interactive website that hosts the CFIP and provides project details, maps, funding summaries and a searchable project book. The CFIP covers roughly 80 county-owned facilities totaling about 2.2 million square feet and lists prioritized projects including repair and renewal, energy projects and new construction tied to operational needs.
Major items noted in the plan include completion of lighting retrofits, ongoing solar canopy installations and a final push on microgrid installations and commissioning at the library, back campus and Vallejo sites to allow facilities to "island" during blackouts or Public Safety Power Shutoffs. The county also plans EV infrastructure expansion, HVAC replacements, Hall of Justice state project planning and evaluation of newly acquired Park Road Gardens for future supportive housing.
The presentation listed roughly $19.2 million in prioritized capital requests for the coming fiscal year, with a larger pipeline of forward-year unfunded needs driven by maintenance, asset renewal and facility condition assessments. The board opened the public hearing, heard no public testimony on the CFIP and then voted to adopt the plan; the meeting recorded the vote as "so ordered by a vote of 4 0." County staff said unexpended balances on closed projects would be returned to source funds for future use.
Ending: The board adopted the CFIP and directed staff to maintain the interactive CFIP website and continue project prioritization based on funding availability; several strategic projects (microgrids, EV charging, supportive housing site evaluation) are moving forward as budget and funding permit.
