Environmental Assessment for Solar PV Installation and EV Charger Upgrades at multiple City Facilities

The City of Fresno is preparing to install solar photovoltaic systems on rooftops and as solar canopies at seven of its existing facilities, along with integrating electric vehicle chargers at three of those locations. This project aims to comply with the California Green Building Code by expanding renewable energy capacity and supporting sustainable transportation infrastructure. The initiative will involve constructing solar PV systems and associated electrical components on existing structures without requiring new foundations or major structural modifications, streamlining both the installation process and environmental impact. The work will be conducted under a categorical exemption from environmental review, indicating the project is expected to have no significant adverse environmental effects based on established criteria. The effort is part of the city’s broader goals to reduce carbon emissions and promote energy efficiency across municipal operations. The Public Works Director, Scott Mozier, is listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries, with communications directed through his official email and phone number. The project was posted as a forecast on June 24, 2026, signaling upcoming procurement activity, though no formal solicitation number or NAICS code has been issued yet. All work will take place within California, specifically at city-owned facilities in Fresno, and is intended to enhance infrastructure resilience while meeting state-mandated green building requirements.
