City of Piedmont's Local Ordinance 786 N.S.

The City of Piedmont has initiated action under its Local Ordinance 786 N.S. to establish a more stringent energy efficiency standard for existing single-family residential buildings, requiring compliance with the 2025 California Building Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6. This initiative is being pursued under state authority granted by Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(h)(2) and Title 24, Section 10-106, with the goal of obtaining formal recognition from the California Energy Commission that the local ordinance meets or exceeds state energy performance requirements. The project is centered in Piedmont, California, with the primary administrative location at 120 Vista Avenue, and the Sustainability Program Manager, Deniz Ergun, serves as the primary point of contact. The effort is supported by a CEQA exemption finding under Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3), indicating that the ordinance does not trigger significant environmental impacts requiring further review. No formal contracting structure, financial estimates, procurement terms, or federal acquisition regulations apply to this effort, as it is a regulatory adoption and approval process rather than a procurement action. There are no identified contract clauses, pricing details, delivery schedules, inspection protocols, or contractor requirements, and no federal accounting or invoicing systems are involved. The focus is entirely on local regulatory compliance and securing state acknowledgment of the city’s enhanced energy code standards for residential structures.
