Bowersox, City Man~ FROM: James Fitch, Assistant City Manager ~o~ INITIATED BY: JohnjamesD.R. Williams, Director of Public Services ~ Douglas R. Hilliker, Water Utilities Manager DATE: April 25, 1995 SUBJECT: Authorization to Enter into an Agreement with Southland Industries and San Diego Gas & Electric to Reduce Energy Consumption BACKGROUND In 1994, the City of Poway interviewed three energy conservation firms for the purpose of evaluating a means in which the City of Poway could save energy. It was determined that the City of Poway would benefit to upgrade and/or replace equipment to make it operate in a more efficient and cost effective manner. Equipment would include: heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, lighting, irrigation equipment, and mechanical systems at City facilities. By making the equipment modifications or enhancements, the cost of the improvements are paid for from the savings realized by reduced costs of operation, utility company rebates, and energy savings. The program is designed to be self-funding and does not require any up-~ont capital expenditures. Staff established guidelines in the scope of work that would maximize savings benefits to the City. FINDINGS Each of the three firms performed an in-depth analysis of the projected cost and energy savings to the City. San Diego Gas and Electric Company, Honeywell, and Southland Industries each submitted a proposal, including references, for staffs consideration. Based upon the qualifications of each of the proposals received, staff determined Southland Industries to be the firm best suited to meet the current energy management needs for the City of Poway.
