AI Contract Overview

The California Energy Commission approved the City of Mill Valley’s applications to enforce two local energy efficiency standards, Ordinance No. 1340 and Ordinance No. 1360, following a ministerial review under California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 1, Section 10-106. The approvals were granted on November 12, 2025, after the City submitted documentation on September 5, 2025, demonstrating that both ordinances meet the two non-discretionary statutory requirements: first, that the standards reduce energy consumption compared to the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, and second, that a documented cost-effectiveness analysis has been filed with the Commission. The process is regulatory in nature and does not involve a competitive procurement or contract award; it is strictly an administrative review to verify compliance with state law, specifically Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(h)(2), and does not entail pricing, funding, or contractual obligations. The Commission’s role is limited to confirming that the submitted materials satisfy the legal criteria, after which local enforcement authority is granted without further discretion. The application process is governed solely by state regulatory provisions and does not include any elements of federal acquisition regulation, such as contract clauses, pricing structures, delivery terms, or performance metrics. There are no identified contracting officers, contracting officer’s representatives, or payment mechanisms because the action is not a procurement but an approval of local code adoption. The place of performance is Mill Valley, California, where the ordinances will be implemented, while the California Energy Commission in Sacramento serves as the reviewing and approving authority. The point of contact for the process is Gypsy Achong, Building Standards Branch Manager, who oversees the regulatory review. No socioeconomic classifications, size certifications, or unique entity identifiers were relevant or required, as the applicant is a local government entity and not a commercial offeror. The submission was made in paper format without formal requirements for electronic filing, page limits, or standardized templates, and no additional reporting or ongoing compliance obligations beyond the initial application were mandated.

Full Description

The California Energy Commission (CEC) adopts and regularly updates regulations that define a process for local governments to apply to the CEC to make certain findings regarding locally adopted energy conservation or energy insulation standards (CCR, Title 24, Part 1, section 10-106 and section 10-110; Public Resources Code section 25402.1(h)(2)). The local governments proposed standards are often referred to as the Local Reach Codes and require local governments submit an application to the CEC consistent with the requirements listed in section 10-106(b). Before the local standards may be enforced, the CEC must make two non-discretionary findings pursuant to PRC section 25402.1(h)(2) and as listed in section 10-106(a): 1) The proposed local standards will require the diminution of energy consumption levels compared to the 2022 Energy Code, and 2) The local government has filed the basis of its cost-effectiveness determination with the CEC. On September 05, 2025, the City of Mill Valley (the City) submitted an application to the CEC that included: 1) the basis of its determination that the locally adopted energy efficiency standards contained in Ordinance No. 1340 are cost-effective; and (2) documentation that the locally adopted energy efficiency standards contained in Ordinance No. 1340 will require the diminution of energy consumption levels compared to the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code), as required by PRC section 25402.1(h)(2) and by CCR, Title 24, Part 1, section 10-106 (section 10-106). Also, on September 05, 2025, the City of Mill Valley (the City) submitted an application to the CEC that included: 1) the basis of its determination that the locally adopted energy efficiency standards contained in Ordinance No. 1360 are cost-effective; and (2) documentation that the locally adopted energy efficiency standards contained in Ordinance No. 1360 will require the diminution of energy consumption levels compared to the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code), as required by PRC section 25402.1(h)(2) and by CCR, Title 24, Part 1, section 10-106 (section 10-106). Based on the information submitted, staff analysis, and the Executive Director's recommendation, the CEC approved findings of the Citys section 10-106 applications at the CECs November 12, 2025, Business Meeting.
