 Turnkey, Design-Build service

 Audit + engineering + construction + commissioning + O&M +

long-term savings measurement

 Reduce energy consumption and attendant pollution  Reduce utility bill expenditures  Improve building occupant comfort  Improve lighting quality  Redeploy staff to other deferred maintenance  Use utility bill and maintenance savings to help pay

project loan

 Some savings are by formula

 Street Lighting  Maintenance  Energy Savings  HVAC  Maintenance  Interior Lighting  Maintenance

 Other savings guaranteed by energy bill accounting

 HVAC  Energy Savings  Interior Lighting  Energy Savings

 Maintenance Savings

 Not including any internal labor savings  Maintenance savings includes avoided material costs and avoided vendor service

calls

 If guaranteed savings aren’t met

 Vendor pays city for the shortfall

 Possible Improvements

 Interior Lighting Upgrades  Exterior Lighting Upgrades  Air Handling Units Upgrades  Chiller Upgrade  Electrical Panel Upgrade  Building Sealing  Window Upgrades

Draft Scope Relative to All Deferred Maintenance

15

 Project scope represents only a portion of expected

future facility capital expenses

Scope and Financing

16

 Scope and financing are dependent on each other  20 year payback period and loan is legal max  To accomplish the scope shown, a 20 year loan is

necessary

 A shorter loan period will reduce the project scope

Tonight

 No Board action necessary  Staff would like to answer questions regarding the

prospective project

 Staff would like the Library to be in a position to

approve a GESP in January or February
