Presentation Regarding Possible Energy Savings for Municipal Buildings

The purpose of this case is to introduce the concept of a guaranteed energy savings contract and hear a proposal from Ms. Laura Malwitz who represents the Siemens corporation.  In  September of 2017, Ms. Malwitz and her team did a preliminary assessment of the  energy consumption at three of our municipal buildings.  Those buildings were the Municipal Center, Fire Station # 1 and the Municipal Parking Ramp.  Laura's presentation will review those findings, Siemens recommendations for increased efficiencies and an explanation of the next step in the process, should the council wish to further investigate this project.    The presentation and a draft copy of  the project development letter and approval to proceed are attached to this case.

Connexus Energy supports these types of retrofit programs and offers rebates on some of the upgrades that would be recommended.

Initial funding would come from the City Public Facilities Fund to be paid back with savings in building operations over time.

Informational only at this time.   Siemens is a qualified contractor, however, due to the size of the proposed contract, staff recommends soliciting competing quotes from qualified contractors to do this work under a similar contract.
