MCVM:jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Will Hoyer, Stimulus Coordinator Michael C. Van Milligen Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Will Hoyer, Stimulus Coordinator SUBJECT: Approval of Iowa State Energy Program grant submission DATE: June 28, 2010 INTRODUCTION RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests Council approval of the State of Iowa SEP grant submission. cc: Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Cori Burbach, Sustainable Community Coordinator Steve Brown, Project Manager Jenny Larson, Budget Director Dubuque btall AJ AmedcaCily 11111 ! 2007 The purpose of this memorandum is to bring to your attention that the City of Dubuque has submitted a grant application to the Iowa Office of Energy Independence for $69,831 to cover 1/3 of the total costs related to the building envelope, lighting, HVAC systems and energy monitoring equipment in the 18 and Central Building slated for re- construction in the upcoming year. BACKGROUND The State Energy Program (SEP) grant is an ARRA- funded program intended to fund municipal energy efficiency improvements. This particular SEP grant required a 2:1 match and was intended for a "comprehensive" project — one that addressed windows, insulation, lighting, hot water, etc. As such the planned retrofit of the old Housing building for use by Operation: New View and the Crescent Community Health Center, which was already funded in the FY2010 -11 CIP made it a logical choice. DISCUSSION Using modeling completed by EcoSmart Building, recommended building envelope (windows, insulation, etc), lighting, solar thermal hot water, and HVAC systems were selected along with a building energy monitoring and sensing system. When combined these improvements are expected to cost a total of $209,493, but will save $14,430 annually in energy costs in the building. wen%irants l of 11 3646 - Iowa ARRA State Energy Program (SEP -R2) 4700 - Comprehensive Retrofit of 18th and Central Building State Energy Program Status: Signature: Applicant Information Project Officer First Name* Will First Name Title: Email: Address: City Dubuque Iowa 52001 -4805 City State /Province Postal Code /ZIp Phone:* 563 - 589 -4110 Phone Ext.
