Northern Water Works Supply Contract_Pilot Energy HouseholdsMasterpiece on the Mississippi TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Northern Water Works Contract for Pilot Energy Households DATE: May 12, 2010 Dubuque bgill AA,AneticaCity 111111 2007 The City of Dubuque was recently awarded a $1.4 million grant from the Iowa Office of Energy Independence (OEI) for the implementation of the electrical portion of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative. This grant would allow the City and Iowa Power and Light to track electrical energy usage on a near -real time basis, track the impact of utilization changes and provide participating citizens with the information they would need to reduce their costs, conserve electricity and reduce carbon emissions. As part of the OEI grant requirements, Iowa Power and Light will provide for the purchase and installation of 1000 AMI Units (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), as well as the reporting of data from those units to a database which can be accessed by IBM for research and analytical purposes. The City must recruit 1,000 households to participate in the energy component of the Smarter City Initiative by July 2010. I had reported at the April 28, 2010 Special City Council meeting that there would be no need for City funds outside the $1.4 million in grant dollars from the State. I was mistaken. The OEI process to award the grant took significantly longer than expected, leaving the City only 60 days in which to complete the successful recruitment of the 1,000 participants. The City currently has a contract with Northern Water Works Supply — Fergusen Group (NWWS) to coordinate the installation of the 22,800 smart water meters throughout the City of Dubuque. As part of this effort, NWWS assisted the City in the recruitment of 350 households for the water component of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative. Based upon the familiarity NWWS has with the City's Smarter Sustainable Dubuque initiative and their experience in successfully recruiting the pilot households for the water meter project, the City requested a proposal from NWWS to expand their scope of work to include assistance in the recruitment of the energy pilot households. The City will also be relying upon Dubuque 2.0, the community dialogue being conducted by the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce and the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, for assistance. The $18,000 to fund a contract with Northern Water Works Supply is available from savings from the West End Fire Station Capital Improvement Project debt payment, since that project has not yet started. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. / Michael C.

Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: David Lyons, Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Project Manager Chris Kohlmann, Information Services Manager SUBJECT: Northern Water Works Contract for pilot energy households DATE: May 6, 2010 Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of a contract with Northern Water Works Supply (NWWS) to assist in the recruitment of 1,000 pilot households for the energy portion of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative. Background Dubuque kutil AII•AmedcaCtty 2007 The City of Dubuque was recently awarded a $1.4 million grant from the Iowa Office of Energy Independence (OEI) for the implementation of the electrical portion of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative. This grant would allow the City and Iowa Power and Light to track electrical energy usage on a near -real time basis, track the impact of utilization changes and provide participating citizens with the information they would need to reduce their costs, conserve electricity and reduce carbon emissions. Discussion As part of the OEI grant requirements, Iowa Power and Light will provide for the purchase and installation of 1000 AMI Units (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), as well as the reporting of data from those units to an anonymized database which can be accessed by IBM for research and analytical purposes. City technology experts are assisting a review of options for Smarter Sustainable Dubuque. The City must recruit 1,000 households to participate in the energy component of the Smarter City Initiative by July 2010. The OEI consideration process of the Grant took significantly longer than expected, leaving us with only 60 days in which to complete our successful recruitment. In order to assure maximum value of the project, it will be critical to gain as many households as possible which are also part of the Water Meter portion of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative (providing data for cross - analytics for water and electricity). We are also needing to consider the technological access The City currently has a contract with Northern Water Works Supply — Fergusen Group (NWWS) to coordinate the installation of the 22,800 smart water meters throughout the City of Dubuque. As part of this effort, NWWS assisted the City in the recruitment of 350 households for the water component of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative. Based upon the familiarity NWWS has with our Smarter Sustainable Dubuque initiative and their experience in successfully recruiting the pilot households for the water meter project, we requested a proposal from NWWS to expand their scope of work to include assistance in the recruitment of the energy pilot households. Attached is a copy of the proposal from NWWS along with a map showing the geographic area to be initially targeted for recruitment. We have reviewed the proposal and believe that it is competitive because (1) NWWS will require little or no new start-up development work to be prepared to carry out the needed tasks; (2) NWWS will not need any additional software or hardware systems in order to be able to coordinate the work with the City; (3) NWWS already has existing staff trained and working with Water Household scheduling and installations, and can use available times in the Water effort to make calls and confirm interest for electrical participation. We have reviewed the proposal and believe it is critical for the success of the project because (1) only NWWS can deploy as quickly as the OEI and Iowa Power and Light contractual requirements for the City indicate is necessary; (2) NWWS is uniquely positioned to be able to assure strong correlation between Water and Electric households which will maximize the overall value to the project; and (3) NWWS already has a positive working relationship with Dubuque households. We will also be relying on existing partners (ex. Dubuque 2.0) to help us meet our commitment. We have visited with Budget Director Jenny Larson and she has indicated that there is $18,000 in savings from the West End Fire Station CIP that could be allocated toward this project. This effort is in addition to the previously budgeted Energy Efficiency Community Block Grant Allocation (Federal Funds). The City has budgeted $100,000 to support the implementation of the Community Dashboard. Request We respectfully request City Council approval of the contract with NWWS for the recruitment of the 1,000 pilot energy households.

Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project with Interstate Power and Light Company and International Business Machines Corporation; Iowa Power Fund Board Contract DATE: April 27, 2010 As part of our Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Initiative, we are proposing to work with IBM, and Interstate Power and Light on the Smart Metering and Measurement of electrical energy utilization in Dubuque. IBM would develop a prototype service using Web portals to access the prototype service running on IBM servers that would allow City management and electric utility customers to monitor electric energy consumption on a near real -time basis in order to better control and reduce the consumption of electric energy. IBM will develop the software tools for collecting, updating and processing the Data provided by the volunteers participating in the project for use for the Prototype Service; providing written reports to the City on the progress and results of the project; and demonstrating the Prototype Service to the City and other Iowa government agencies as agreed by the parties. The City is willing to provide funding for the project subject to approval of the project by the Iowa Power Fund. The City will identify volunteers among its residents to participate in this project; work with Interstate Power and Light Company on the installation of smart meters with two -way communication capability necessary for the project; provide the volunteers' energy consumption data to IBM in an anonymized form, interface with the volunteers to answer questions about the Prototype Service, work with IBM to analyze the results, and provide IBM with feedback on the results. Interstate Power and Light Company will install 1000 Advanced Metering Infrastructure meters for project participants in Dubuque, Iowa and provide the individual customer electricity usage and related data as described to the City for restricted display on a web portal and for independent analysis in accordance with the City's research objectives for the project and for the City to provide any and all analysis and reports resulting from such analysis to Interstate Power and Light Company as a result of the project. To achieve .these goals, Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Project Manager David Lyons recommended that the City enter into agreements with IBM and Interstate Power and Light Company. Those agreements were approved by the City Council at a special meeting on April 12, 2010. The Iowa Power Fund Board has tentatively approved a grant of $1.4 Million Dollars for the project, subject to some revisions to the agreements with IBM and Interstate Power and Light Company. The revised agreements with redlined versions showing the changes from the agreement approved April 12, 2010 are attached. The agreement with Interstate Power and Light Company has been revised to eliminate the ability of either party to terminate the agreement "for convenience." The Iowa Power Fund Board wanted assurance that the agreement would not be terminated except for the specific causes set out in the agreement. The primary change in the agreement with IBM is the payment schedule. The Iowa Power Fund Board has established a payment schedule for payments made by the Power Fund to the City. Ideally, that payment schedule would coincide with the City's payment schedule to IBM. For accounting reasons, however, IBM has provided a separate payment schedule for payments from the City to IBM. IBM has requested to receive payment from the City by the first of each calendar quarter to keep a level payment term. The City would be paying IBM an advance of no more than $175,000 each calendar quarter for no longer than 30 days prior to receiving the Iowa Power Funds from the State. In the unlikely event that the project costs of the advanced metering infrastructure project were less than projected, the amount of the Iowa Power Fund grant would be reduced by the same pro -rata share of cost reduction. The City of Dubuque would still be liable to IBM for the payment terms included in the joint development agreement, however section 6.2 of the joint development agreement between the City of Dubuque and IBM states that the City can terminate the agreement at the end of any calendar quarter with written notice to IBM sent not less than thirty days prior to the end of that quarter, on the condition that the City pays IBM the payment due at the beginning of the next calendar quarter commending after the effective date of the termination. The contract between the City and the Iowa Power Fund Board provides for a grant not to exceed $1.4 Million Dollars in consideration for the City's completion of the project, which is creating a Sustainability Service model for measurement and monitoring of energy and water systems. The City also agrees to facilitate replication of the technology developed by the project and to facilitate sharing success payments if the technology developed by the project is commercially deployed. The contract establishes a reporting and payment schedule. In September 2009, the Mayor and City Council approved a Smarter City partnership with IBM. IBM and Dubuque are bound by a common commitment to aggressive innovation —the kind of innovation that has transformed the oldest city in Iowa to become one of the newest and strongest regional economies in the country. This partnership is intended to demonstrate that sustainability can be sustainable. Dubuque is a community that clearly understands IBM's vision for a Smarter Planet, and is uniquely positioned for IBM's needs through a decade of work on sustainability. This is an opportunity to create a replicable business model for IBM and for future sustainable, smarter cities across the country. This is the right opportunity to contribute to the creation of a Smarter Planet. This project seeks to provide information to citizens so that they can make smarter choices related to energy consumption. The program outlines a pilot project of citizens who through advanced technology will be able to actively participate in managing consumption of energy. It is a model that results in community engagement and education, more energy - efficient ways of operating municipal services and buildings, decreased carbon emissions, job creation, financial savings, and a higher quality of life for the entire community. The City has already begun the water conservation component of this project. This will be the electrical energy component. The City will continue to seek to expand the electrical energy component and to implement the natural gas, transportation and wellness components. I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of the contract with the Iowa Power Fund Board and the revised agreements with Interstate Power and Light Company and IBM.

Van Milligen Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: IBM /City of Dubuque Smarter City Partnership DATE: September 16, 2009 Dubuque Ali America City 1 I 0 2007 In 1982, there was a national recession and the State of Iowa had an unemployment rate of 8.5 %. However, armed with a comprehensive plan dated 1936, and an over dependence on a few employers for jobs, the City of Dubuque had an unemployment rate in 1982 of 14.2 %, or 67% higher than the rest of the State. For the entire decade of the 1980's, the City's unemployment rate was 35% higher than the State unemployment rate. Today the City has taken the position to plan, invest and take calculated risks, and the national unemployment rate is 9.4 %, while the City of Dubuque unemployment rate is 6.3 %, 33% lower than the national rate. In 2007, Dubuque was recognized by the National League of Cities as an Ali- America City, and in 2008 by the U.S. Conference of Mayors as The Most Livable City in the United States for a city under 100,000 population. The America's River Project and the Port of Dubuque redevelopment have received many awards, including the.2005 Phoenix Award for Excellence in Brownfield Redevelopment for U.S. E.P.A. Region 7 and the 2004 Achievement in Economic Development Award from the International Downtown Association. Now, a new opportunity is presenting itself. Mayor Roy Buol and the Dubuque City Council have made sustainability a top priority. A community task force has received significant community input over a two -year period, creating the community's definition of sustainability as a livable, viable and equitable community with environmental/ ecological integrity, economic prosperity and cultural /social vibrancy. It is my pleasure to present an unparalleled opportunity for cooperation and innovation between IBM and the City of Dubuque. Dubuque is a community that clearly understands IBM's vision for a Smarter Planet, and is uniquely positioned for IBM's needs through a decade of work on sustainability. This is an opportunity to create a replicable business model for IBM and for future sustainable, smarter cities across the country. This is the right opportunity to contribute to the creation of a Smarter Planet. 1;Page IBM and Dubuque are bound by a common commitment to aggressive innovation —the kind of innovation that has transformed the oldest city in Iowa to become one of the newest and strongest regional economies in the country. This partnership is intended to demonstrate that sustainability can be sustainable. January 15, 2009, marked the announcement that IBM planned to establish a Global Service Center in Dubuque. Following rigorous competition from many other cities across the country, the decision to locate 1,300 jobs in the historic downtown Roshek Building was lauded by local leaders as the nation sunk into what has been described as the most serious recession since the Great Depression. IBM leaders sited three reasons for the selection 1) strong public- private partnerships 2) strong foundation of education in the region and 3) Sustainable Dubuque – the Mayor and Council led- citizen supported initiative. As work began to restore the Roshek Building, another opportunity arose. IBM Vice - President Robert Morris of the Watson Research Center arrived in Dubuque. His visit in early February identified the possibility of partnering with Dubuque in several areas, including Smart Cities research, instrumentation, intelligence and interconnection. Over the past six months City staff have met through teleconference, videoconference and in person with IBM staff. There have been meetings and visits with elected officials and federal department staff and time spent working with IBM on this project. Of the areas of focus identified by Mr. Morris and his team, City staff and IBMers agreed to focus on the Smarter City Initiative. The City and IBM will partner to create a groundbreaking model for cities with populations of 200,000 or less, where over 40% of the United State's population lives. This project seeks to provide information to citizens so that they can make smarter choices related to energy consumption. The program outlines a pilot project of citizens and businesses who through advanced technology will be able to actively participate in managing consumption of energy. Dubuque's compelling community story and accomplishments in sustainability form a model for other communities across the nation to learn from in order to effect change. This model can be replicated in any community, particularly communities under 200,000, where 40% of the United States population resides. It is a model that results in community engagement and education, more energy- efficient ways of operating municipal services and buildings, decreased carbon emissions, job creation, financial savings, and a higher quality of life for the entire community. Cities are in search of a bold and transformational agenda, a road map that will ignite community engagement and create real results in relationship to sustainability. Dubuque has proven its ability to excite and engage citizens through past projects, including Sustainable Dubuque. Dubuque proposes to build upon its successes in partnering with businesses, non - profits, and residents to reduce energy use, lower 2IPage costs, create jobs and increase quality of life indicators such as air and water quality. The project will do so by engaging Initially 250 pilot households, eventually expanding to 1,000 and beyond, in a community -wide data collection campaign. Those pilot participants will track their water consumption, energy consumption, and, in future phases, vehicle miles traveled. Based on the data collected, citizens can make educated decisions about their energy use. Dubuque's sustainability initiative is based on a multi -step process that is undertaken in every major public and private initiative in the City. That process creates a model for communities across the country: 1) Engage citizens 2) Develop and define vision and goals 3) Identify strategies and methods to implement goals 4) Collect and disseminate information 5) Targeted community education based on collected data 6) Interface technology in response to data and analysis and optimize outcomes. New technologies are capable of digitizing and connecting City systems, so they can sense, analyze and integrate data, an'd respond intelligently to the needs of citizens. IBM, the City of Dubuque, and other partners will revitalize the City's systems to become smarter and more efficient in order to meet the City's vision for sustainability. Locally, the effort will be led by Smart City Project Manager David Lyons. David served as Chief Business Development Officer for the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation before becoming involved with this project. At the Iowa Farm Bureau, David worked to increase business opportunities and choices for Iowa's producers, with particular focus on growing value added agriculture and improving rural infrastructure. Prior to joining the Iowa Farm Bureau in 2000, David was Director of the Iowa Department of Economic Development, Insurance Commissioner for the State of Iowa and Legal Counsel with the Iowa Legislature. During his service with the State, David spearheaded numerous special State projects including the Iowa Trust Receivership, the Iowa Health Care Reform Council and the Food Capitol of the World Initiative. He received his undergraduate degree from Loras College in Dubuque and his law degree from the University of Iowa. Consistent with the City's emphasis on partnerships, many organizations are making important contributions to this project, including Alliant Energy, Black Hills Energy,.the Historic Millwork District property owners, Dubuque Initiatives, the Federal and State governments, ECIA, the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, Dubuque Main Street, AY McDonald Manufacturing, the Dubuque Racing Association and others are helping to make this work. As you know, the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce and the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque are partnering on a community dialogue on Wage sustainability titled Dubuque that is funded by the Mystique Casino. This project complements that effort. Later today, the City of Dubuque will be hosting U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Lisa P. Jackson. This IBM /City of Dubuque Smarter City Partnership matches well with the intent of their visit as they discuss the sustainability partnership they have.created amongst those agencies as they lead the country forward. I am recommending the City provide $850,000 towards this project from the Water Fund. Even with this expense, and some additional expenses related to the project, capacity exists within the Water Fund. The Fiscal Year 2010 adopted budget included an increase to City water rates of 5 %. The City -wide installation of new water meters and a low flow metering device manufactured by AY McDonald, as well as financing the meter change -out project with debt over a 20 -year term, rather than a 15 -year term, produces the possibility to reduce the water rate increase in Fiscal Year 2010 by 2 %. Through better monitoring of Water Department energy usage, it is hoped that further reductions in the cost of the City processing and delivering water will be possible. As the City installs new water meters, I am further recommending that the City budget $10,000 this fiscal year, and additional amounts in future years, to assist property owners with matching funds for the repair of water Teaks. am also recommending approval of the contract with David Lyons to manage this project. City funds have been identified for this purpose, but Federal and State grants might support this position and future phases of this Smarter City Project. Should the City not receive Federal or State grant funds, which it is anticipated the City will receive some grant funds, the City has sufficient capacity within the Water Department budget and other sources where savings have been realized, to provide the City funds needed to support Phase I of the pilot program expenses. The pilot project will not be able to be as robust as hoped without outside grant dollars, it may take longer to complete, and it will create a higher hurdle for community -wide implementation. The City has applied for the following grants: Grants Showcase Communities Community Renewable Energy Deployment Industrial Energy Efficiency TIGER Submitted To US Environmental Protection Agency US Department of Energy US Department of Energy US Department of Transportation Amount $ 500,000 $ 6,000,000 $19,854,150 $49,799,979 These four grants bring the total number of grants submitted by the City of Dubuque to State or Federal stimulus/funding programs to seventeen, with fourteen grant 4IPage applications still in progress. The City of Dubuque has received $10.6 million in funds to date, and the City now has $85.7 million pending in grant requests submitted. Sustainability has a hidden benefit. Sustainability is an opportunity for Dubuque to continue to diversify the economy and to perform better than the rest of the State and the nation on job creation. Just look at sustainability as another new market, as the automobile industry was in the early 1900's, the airline industry in the 1940's, computer hardware in the 1970's, and computer software in the 1980's. The businesses and industries in Dubuque have a chance to be on the cutting edge of developing products and services that will be in demand across the world as there is a move to more efficiently use energy resources and water. The City's sustainability effort, and specifically the IBM /City of Dubuque Smart City Partnership, could be more than we ever dreamed it could be. Not only will the IBM /City of Dubuque Smart City partnership save businesses and individuals money, create jobs, contribute to local and national energy independence, help brand the community to help recruit businesses and workforce, create a major recruitment tool for the three colleges to entice students, and bolster the convention and tourism business, but it will accelerate local business growth. As Vice- President of IBM Research Robert Morris has said, "The goal of this collaboration is to develop and pilot a systematic mechanism to give consumers and businesses the information they need to make informed decisions about how they consume resources like electricity, water, natural gas, and oil. To create such a mechanism, a partnership is needed between a community with a track record of successful public - private partnerships, citizens and businesses that believe in sustainability, and enterprises like IBM that have the information technology and knowledge to apply to this transformative partnership." My thanks to David Lyons, Greater Dubuque Development Corporation Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer Rick Dickinson, City Attorney Barry Lindahl, Assistant City Manager Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Teri Goodmann, Public Information Officer Randy Gehl and Stimulus Coordinator Cori Burbach for all they have done to make this partnership a reality. Specifically, I am respectfully recommending Mayor and City Council approval of four items: 1. Authority to finalize negotiations on the IBM Services Agreement, as detailed in the memorandum from Assistant City Manager Cindy Steinhauser. 2. Authorization to commit $850,000 in Water Department funds and approval of a 2% water rate reduction for the current fiscal year. 3. Authorization to execute a contract with David Lyons to serve as the City's Project Manager for the Smarter City Project. 5 Page 4. Approval of several Federal grant applications that will not only support this partnership, but lead to the construction of the Southwest Arterial and support redevelopment of the Historic Millwork District.
