CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Study Session Date: February 12, 2025
Conservation Grant Agreement with Puget
Sound Energy for LED Retrofit Phase 3 & 4
COUNCIL MEETING Date: February 19, 2025
Department: Public Works
Presenter: Ron Moore
Phone: (360) 473-5333
SUMMARY:
In 2022 Puget Sound Energy (PSE) and the City of Bremerton entered into an agreement for PSE to
convert streetlights to LED lighting for the entire City. The project was broken into fifteen phases and
originally planned to take up to fifteen years to complete. Due to a change in the Tariff agreement
with PSE the costs have dramatically reduced, such that the grants are currently covering nearly
100% of the conversion costs.
These grant agreements are for Phases Three and Four which were completed in late 2024. The
invoice from PSE for the project in Phase Three was $1,862.96, and the grant will pay $1,862.00 for
a net cost to the City of $0.96 for the 92 lights. The invoice from PSE for the project in Phase Four
was also $1,862.96 and the grant will also pay $1,862.00 for a net cost to the City of $0.96 for those
81 lights.
Phases five, six and seven are expected to be completed in early 2025, and staff are working with
PSE to try to expedite the full conversion.

3. Grant. Upon the execution by all parties and PSE’s receipt of this Conservation Grant Agreement within 90 days
of the agreement date, PSE agrees to grant the Participant, after installation by Participant and confirmation by PSE
of the Conservation Measures, an amount equal to the Eligible Conservation Grant (“the Grant”) set forth in
Attachment C.
The parties agree that the Conservation Measures must be installed and the Grant paid within 12 months for
projects saving less than 100,000 kWh or 24 months for projects saving 100,000 kWh or more of the signing of
this Conservation Grant Agreement. Savings are shown on Attachment C-Lighting Installations.
If for any reason the installed cost of the Conservation Measures is less than the amount shown above and on
Attachment C-Lighting Installations, PSE may decrease pro rata the amount of the Grant. The Participant shall be
responsible for paying any amount in excess of the amount of the Grant.
4. Separate Contract. Participant acknowledges and agrees that PSE is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a party to
any purchase or installation contract relating to Conservation Measures, which shall be installed pursuant to a
contract between Participant and its Contractor(s). Participant expressly acknowledges that PSE’s involvement with
respect to any aspect of the Conservation Measures is limited to the furnishing of the Grant. PSE HAS NOT MADE
AND DOES NOT MAKE (AND PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PSE DOES NOT MAKE) ANY
IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS) REPRESENTATION, OR PROMISE WITH
RESPECT TO EITHER (A) THE CONSERVATION MEASURES, (B) ANY MATERIALS AND LABOR
REQUIRED FOR OR USED IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE CONSERVATION MEASURES, OR (C)
THE INSTALLATION OF THE CONSERVATION MEASURES.

such analyses is solely for the purpose of determining the cost–effectiveness of the particular conservation
measures and not to be used for any other purpose. PSE has not and does not make any promise, warranty or
representation with respect to any savings in energy consumption from Conservation Measures.
8. Termination. In the event a Participant’s contribution to PSE’s recovery of energy efficiency program costs is
affected by all or a portion of Participant’s electric and/or gas delivery service being provided by a party other than
PSE, then Participant shall refund to PSE an amount equal to the ratio of the unused Measure Life of the
measure(s) to the total Measure Life of such Conservation Measure(s) multiplied by the dollar amount of the Grant
with respect to such Conservation Measure(s).
9. Incorporation of tariffs by reference. This Agreement and the Attachment To Conservation Grant are subject to
the terms of the Tariffs, incorporated herein by reference. Specific terms and conditions from one or more
conservation schedules from similar filed tariffs may also apply, as determined by PSE at its sole discretion, based

Re: 2026-2030 Consolidated Plan
Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Investment Partnership (HOME) funding each year from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). These funds, along with the County's Community Investments in Affordable Housing (CIAH) funds, are
used to provide housing, economic opportunity, public facilities and infrastructure principally for low and
moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
In compliance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations (found at
24 CFR Part 91), a Consolidated Plan is adopted and submitted every five years. The City of Bremerton and
Kitsap County Block Grant Programs began a joint planning process in late 2024 to update the Consolidated
Plan. The Consolidated Plan is an overall strategy for housing and community development addressing the
needs of primarily low- and moderate-income persons in Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton. The Plan
further guides the City in its strategy for appropriating these funds.
The planning process involves the assessment of current housing and population needs through the analysis of
available data, public meetings, an online survey, and consultations with service providers and key stakeholders.
The online survey for community members and other interested parties, including local non profits and service
providers, can be found here:
2026-2030 ConPlan Community Needs Survey
Please feel free to complete the survey and to pass the survey along to anyone who may be interested. The
more feedback the better to help us in this process. The City will be releasing its Strategic Plan in May 2025 to
help guide the 2026 funding process. The Consolidated Planning process will take place throughout 2025 and
will culminate in the adoption of the plan in November of 2025. This plan along with the year 1 Action Plan will be
due to HUD on November 15, 2025.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by email at sarah.lynam@ci.bremerton.wa.us or
by phone at (360) 473-5375.

from the City Council on the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This Memo
contains resources documenting review of the Transportation Element that has occurred thus far. A
presentation providing a full overview will be provided at the meeting by Public Works Engineering Project
Manager Vicki Grover, P.E.
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Plan update is required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) in
order to demonstrate that Bremerton has the capacity to absorb population and
employment increases forecast to the year 2044. Population estimates indicate that the City will grow to
63,757 persons and 58,258 jobs by 2044; this means the City is forecast to increase its population by over
46%, with a 32% increase in the number of jobs. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan must conform to
the Washington State Growth Management Act, Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Vision 2050, and
the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) Countywide Planning Policies. More information about
the Bremerton Comprehensive Planning process can be found at Bremerton2044.com.
