8.656:49Adoption of Resolution No. 26, Approval of EV Charging Hardware and Software Contract Pursuant to Public Contract Code §20118.2.Action
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractIn April 2025, Shell Recharge discontinued nationwide support for EV charging infrastructure, impacting six Redwood City School District campuses. This item requests Board adoption of Resolution No. 26 to procure replacement EV charging hardware and standardized software through PowerFlex pursuant to Public Contract Code §20118.2.
RecommendationIt is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board adopt Resolution No. 26, making the required findings for the basis of award, confirming compliance with Public Contract Code §20118.2, and approving a technology purchase agreement with PowerFlex for 64 EV charging units and software services for 76 chargers.
RationaleOn April 30, 2025, Shell Recharge, the provider supporting EV chargers at six District sites, discontinued its services nationwide. This resulted in the loss of functionality for a significant portion of the District’s EV charging infrastructure. In response, the District evaluated replacement options and identified PowerFlex as the most viable long-term solution to restore service and standardize operations across multiple charger types. On August 27, 2025, the Board approved: Resolution No. 4, authorizing PowerFlex as the District’s EVSE software provider; and Resolution No. 5, authorizing the use of a competitive negotiation process pursuant to Public Contract Code §20118.2. The District issued RFP S25-004.1 on December 8, 2025, with proposals due December 29, 2025. One proposal was received. District staff evaluated the proposal in accordance with the RFP criteria, including cost, functionality, compatibility, and service responsiveness. As outlined in Resolution No. 26, the District followed all requirements under Public Contract Code §20118.2 and determined that PowerFlex provides the best value to the District.

8.758:40Approval of the Agreement for Atlas Pellizzari Electric for the amount of $70,520 to Install the PowerFlex Electric Vehicle Chargers at Adelante Selby, Clifford, and Kennedy SchoolsAction
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractRCSD is standardizing its EV charging software and hardware following the nationwide discontinuation of Shell Recharge services. PowerFlex has been designated as the District’s sole-source EV charging platform to maintain consistency, compatibility, and operational efficiency across sites. After receiving no proposals through the formal RFP process, the District obtained direct bids and recommends awarding the installation contract to Atlas Pellizzari Electric for $70,520.
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board approve the agreement for Atlas Pellizzari Electric for the amount of $70,520 to install the PowerFlex Electric Vehicle Chargers at Adelante Selby, Clifford, and Kennedy Schools.
RationaleRedwood City School District (RCSD) has been a leader in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging infrastructure. To date, the District has installed nearly 100 public-facing charging stations and operates seven (7) electric school buses with associated charging equipment. As an early adopter, RCSD is now navigating market changes as vendors shift their business models and, in some cases, exit the industry. On April 30, 2025, Shell Recharge, the software provider responsible for operating RCSD’s public-facing EV chargers at six (6) school sites, discontinued this service nationwide. In response, RCSD conducted a review in early 2025 to identify replacement software providers capable of supporting the two types of existing charger hardware currently installed across the District. The District’s goal is to establish a standardized software platform that is well-established in the industry, has demonstrated success with other school districts, and can support both public-facing chargers and electric bus charging infrastructure in the future. Through this evaluation process, RCSD identified PowerFlex as the most suitable solution. PowerFlex is being recommended for approval under a separate item on this agenda for the Roy Cloud School and Hoover School solar projects, which include new EV chargers. Approval of this Sole Source Resolution would help maintain a consistent EV charging platform across District sites and avoid the operational burden of managing multiple software and hardware systems, vendors, maintenance processes, updates, and repairs. Additionally, RCSD determined that only a limited number of software providers support the District’s existing EVBox hardware. Since these chargers are no longer available on the market, long-term maintenance and replacement parts may become increasingly difficult to obtain. Staff therefore recommend replacing these chargers to avoid future operational challenges and to allow full integration with the PowerFlex system at those sites. On August 27, 2025, the Board approved Resolution 4 authorizing a Sole Source designation to establish PowerFlex as the District’s standard software provider for EV charging systems and compatible hardware. Subsequently, on November 5, 2025, the District issued RFP S25-003 for the installation of PowerFlex EV chargers. Proposals were due on November 26, 2025; however, no submissions were received. In response, the District contacted three (3) qualified electrical contractors directly to solicit bids. The lowest responsive proposal was submitted by Atlas Pellizzari Electric in the amount of $70,520.
Financial ImpactAdelante Selby Spanish Immersion $16,250.00 Clifford School $26,820.00 Kennedy Middle School $27,450.00 Total: $70,520.00 The total will be paid out of the Facilities Fund.
8.859:49Approval of Contract with Looking Point to move Redwood City School District Servers to Microsoft Azure Cloud ServicesAction
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractSince 2019, the Redwood City School District has used an on-premises Nutanix virtual server environment to support its critical technology services. With an upcoming licensing renewal in July 2026 and hardware reaching end-of-life in June 2027, the Technology Department has evaluated modernization options to ensure a more resilient, cost-effective core infrastructure. After a thorough assessment of on-premises versus cloud-hosted solutions and a competitive vetting of professional services, the District recommends transitioning to a cloud-based architecture.
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the Board of Trustees approves the contract with Looking Point to migrate all District servers to Microsoft Azure Cloud Services.
RationaleThe Technology Department conducted a formal evaluation of professional services to guide this migration, focusing on technical expertise, implementation strategy, and long-term fiscal impact. Proposals were evaluated from two qualified professional services firms specializing in Microsoft Azure migrations: STEPFORD and LookingPoint. While both firms provided comprehensive proposals, LookingPoint was selected as the preferred partner. Their selection is based on: Proven Expertise: Demonstrated depth in Microsoft Azure architecture and successful migrations for public-sector clients, including the cities of Daly City and San Bruno. Value: A competitive pricing structure that ensures high-tier engineering support while maximizing cost savings over the initial three-year term. The District’s current Nutanix environment represents the highest projected long-term cost due to upcoming licensing renewals and required hardware upgrades. Projected costs to maintain the existing on-premises environment over the next three years range from approximately $159,000 to $219,000. In comparing an on-premises refresh against a cloud-hosted migration, the cloud-hosted solution was determined to be the most cost-effective and operationally reliable option, as it directly addresses four primary District objectives: Cost Savings: Eliminates the cycle of expensive hardware refreshes. The projected annual cost for Azure hosting is approximately $14,200, compared to approximately $53,000 annually for Nutanix licensing alone. Azure operating costs are usage-based but can be actively monitored and managed by the District. During the initial migration and stabilization period, the District will utilize a month-to-month Azure service model to allow for consolidation, optimization, and validation of actual server utilization and operational requirements. Following stabilization, the District anticipates transitioning to a longer-term three-year Azure commitment to secure more predictable budgeting, discounted pricing, and additional cost efficiencies. Estimated annual operating costs were incorporated into the comparative cost analysis reflected above. Modernization: Transitions the District to a contemporary, agile infrastructure. Disaster Recovery: Microsoft Azure provides enterprise-grade infrastructure with published service-level uptime commitments and geographically redundant failover capabilities that significantly exceed the reliability and redundancy of the District’s current on-premises environment. This significantly improves business continuity in the event of local power outages, hardware failures, or natural disasters impacting District facilities. Security Enhancements: Azure services used by the District comply with applicable education and data security standards, including FERPA-aligned protections and enterprise-grade identity/security controls. The District will retain full ownership and administrative control of all hosted systems and data. Implementation Plan The migration will be phased to minimize operational disruption. Critical systems will be transitioned during scheduled weekend maintenance windows, supported by robust rollback procedures and backup redundancies to ensure continuous service. Key Benefits Significant Cost Reduction: Estimated significant reduction in total cost of ownership compared to Nutanix, representing over $165,000 in savings over three years. Scalability: On-demand resource allocation supports growth without requiring additional physical hardware purchases. Reliability: Built-in redundancy and failover capabilities improve overall system availability and reduce the risk of service interruptions. Operational Efficiency: Reduces the administrative burden associated with maintaining aging physical infrastructure, allowing Technology staff to focus more directly on cybersecurity, user support, and instructional technology services while also reducing onsite power, cooling, and hardware maintenance requirements. Financial Sustainability: Shifts the District from a heavy capital expenditure (CapEx) model to a predictable, scalable operating expenditure (OpEx) mode.
Financial ImpactTotal Year 1 Implementation: $38,104.72 (Includes a one-time professional services fee of $10,800 for LookingPoint). Estimated Annual Cloud Hosting Cost: Approximately $14,200 annually based on current server utilization and projected operational requirements. Ongoing costs will be actively monitored and managed by the District. Projected 3-Year Savings: $165,000+ compared to maintaining the current environment.

10.71:35:19Approval of Agreement with CP Mechanical to Replace the Kitchen Rooftop Unit (RTU) & the RTU #7 unit at McKinleyAction (Consent)
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractCP Mechanical identified multiple HVAC system failures at McKinley School, including a failed rooftop unit serving the kitchen and additional component failures in RTU #7. This item requests Board approval to complete necessary repairs and replacement to restore system functionality and maintain a safe and operational environment.
RecommendationIt is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board approve proposals from CP Mechanical in the total amount of $48,674 to complete HVAC repairs and replacement at McKinley School, including: Kitchen rooftop unit (RTU) replacement RTU #7 repair (TXV valve and fan belt replacement)
RationaleAs part of ongoing maintenance and response to system issues, CP Mechanical conducted diagnostic evaluations of HVAC equipment at McKinley School and identified multiple failures requiring immediate attention. The kitchen rooftop unit was determined to be non-operational and requires full replacement, including demolition of the existing unit, fabrication of new ducting, and installation of a new Trane unit with updated components to meet current standards. Additionally, RTU #7 was found to have a restricted thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) and worn fan belt, impacting system performance. Repairs include replacement of the TXV valve, liquid line drier, fan belt, and associated system testing and startup. The replacement rooftop unit is a non-stock item with an estimated lead time of approximately seven (7) weeks, making timely approval critical to avoid extended downtime. To minimize downtime and avoid delays, the District has authorized the procurement of necessary materials while awaiting Board approval. This approach helps ensure timely completion of repairs. These repairs and replacement are necessary to restore reliable HVAC operation, maintain proper ventilation and temperature control, and prevent further system deterioration. Delaying action could result in increased costs and disruption to school operations.

Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractRedwood City School District has been selected to participate in PG&E’s Government K-12 ("GK-12") Program, providing approximately $159,000 in water heater infrastructure upgrades across multiple District sites at no anticipated direct cost to the District. The project replaces aging gas and electric water heaters with high-efficiency systems that improve reliability, reduce energy consumption, and modernize facility infrastructure.
RecommendationIt is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board approve participation in the PG&E Government K-12 Program and authorize the District to proceed with the replacement of existing water heaters with high-efficiency systems across multiple sites.
RationaleRedwood City School District (RCSD) continues to prioritize proactive facility modernization, energy efficiency, and long-term operational sustainability across District sites. Many of the District’s existing water heaters are aging systems that are becoming less efficient, increasingly costly to maintain, and more susceptible to operational failure over time. Through participation in PG&E’s Government K-12 (GK-12) Program, administered by Willdan Energy Solutions, the District has the opportunity to replace aging water-heater infrastructure across multiple school sites with modern, high-efficiency heat pump and tankless systems. The proposed upgrades are expected to improve system reliability, reduce energy consumption, lower utility costs, and decrease ongoing maintenance demands associated with older equipment. The project supports the District’s broader efforts to modernize facility infrastructure while advancing energy efficiency and sustainability goals. In addition to operational benefits, the upgraded systems are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve overall building performance. Importantly, the project is anticipated to be fully funded through PG&E and Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) incentive programs, resulting in no anticipated direct cost to the District. Participation in the program allows RCSD to proactively replace aging infrastructure with external funding rather than using future General Fund resources or emergency replacement expenditures. Program incentive funding is subject to availability and timely project implementation requirements.
Financial ImpactTotal Project Cost: $159,058 PG&E Incentives: $138,418 Additional Program Funds (PCE): $20,640 Estimated Net District Cost: $0 The project is anticipated to be fully funded through external incentive programs. Final costs may vary slightly based on permitting or unforeseen site conditions.
