IBM Research_Amendment to Joint Development Agreement
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to Joint Development Agreement with IBM Research
DATE: August 30, 2012
Sustainable Dubuque Project Manager David Lyons is recommending an amendment to
the existing Joint Development Agreement with IBM Research to support a Department
of Energy Smart Grid Data Access Grant.
Dubuque was recently awarded a Department of Energy Smart Grid Data Access Grant
for $500,000. That grant will allow it to expand its Smarter Electricity research work and
to collaborate with two other communities in Iowa (Algona and Cedar Falls).
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

DATE: August 29, 2012
INTRODUCTION
Dubuque was recently awarded a Department of Energy Smart Grid Data Access Grant
for $500,000. That grant will allow it to expand its Smarter Electricity research work and
to collaborate with two other communities in Iowa (Algona and Cedar Falls). This memo
is to seek approval of an amendment to the existing Joint Development Agreement with
IBM Research to support this grant.
BACKGROUND
The Smart Grid Data Access Grant has the goal of empowering residential consumers
to better manage their electricity use by enabling access to consumption data by
residential customers and their authorized third parties, and providing or supporting the
use of third-party tools and software products that utilize the available data to deliver a
value-added service to the customer. The grant objectives closely support the
objectives set by the Smarter Electricity partnership with IBM as part of the Smarter
Sustainable Dubuque project.
In this grant the City of Dubuque is partnering with Alliant Energy, Algona Municipal
Utilities, Cedar Falls Utilities, the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities (IAMU), and IBM
on this Smarter Electricity Iowa project to pilot and test how Smart Grid-enabled
technologies can help consumers to better monitor their electric energy consumption
and make more informed choices about the energy they are using. In order to be able
to expand the existing Smarter Electricity research and to take advantage of this new
grant, the project will need expanded access to the IBM Smarter Electricity portal and
collaboration with the IBM cloud-based analytics system. As part of the initial grant
application there was $310,000 of the grant set aside for such support from IBM
RECOMMENDATION
would recommend proceeding with implementing the grant by amending the existing
Joint Development Agreement between the City of Dubuque and IBM Research to allow
it to encompass this new research, paid for by the pre-identified grant funds from the
Department of Energy.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
respectfully request Council approve moving forward with the grant project and
approve the attached Joint Development Agreement

NY 10598 ( "IBM ").
WHEREAS, IBM would like to provide 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 ( "Energy
Conservation Portal "); and
WHEREAS, City is willing to provide funding for the project from the Department of
Energy Data Access grant; identify volunteers among its residents to participate in this
project; work with City energy company, Interstate Power and Light Company (an Alliant

data to IBM in an anonymized form; create and maintain a social media platform and
provide such social media data to IBM in an anonymized form; (all anonymized profile,
energy consumption and social media data from the cities of Dubuque, Algona and Cedar
Falls, shall be the "Data "), interface with the volunteers to answer questions about the
Energy Conservation Portal, work with IBM to analyze the results, and provide IBM with
feedback on the results ( "Feedback "); and
WHEREAS, IBM is willing to work on helping the City partition the volunteers into
groups to analyze how these groups differ in their response to information, insights and
incentives; provide written reports to City on the progress and results of the project; and

APPENDIX A
STATEMENT OF WORK
This Statement of Work Number 001 (this "SOW ") adopts and incorporates by reference
the terms and conditions of the Joint Development Agreement No. W1259551
( "Agreement ") dated , between City of Dubuque, Iowa ( "City ") and
International Business Machines Corporation ( "IBM "). This Statement of Work is
effective beginning October 1, 2012, and will remain in effect until September 30, 2013
unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with this Statement of Work or the
Agreement (the "Term "). Work performed under this Statement of Work will be
conducted in accordance with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Statement
of Work and the Agreement, including any Appendices or Attachments.
1.0 Objective
The objective of the project is to provide access to the IBM Energy Conservation Portal
that would enable electric utility customers in the cities of Dubuque, Algona and Cedar
Falls to better control their consumption of electricity, and generate data that could be
used for the analysis of consumption patterns for insights that could help electric utility
customers reduce their consumption.
2.0 Project Description
City will identify volunteers among the electric utility customers in City to participate in
this project. The cities of Algona and Cedar Falls may identify volunteers among their
electric utility customers to participate in the project as well. These volunteers will
specifically authorize their electric energy usage information to be provided to IBM in
anonymized form for use in the Energy Conservation Portal. The community -wide metric
information generated by this project can be used by the cities of Dubuque, Algona and
Cedar Falls to begin estimating consumption baselines, and the aggregated Data will also
be shared with the volunteers so that they can compare and benchmark their personal
usage with that of the entire aggregated volunteer community.
IBM will develop the routines for onboarding Data from all the participating utilities.
IBM will make the portal available to up to 1300 consumers across the cities of Dubuque,
Algona, and Cedar Falls. Figure 1 shows a screenshot for a consumer to understand
consumption, gain insights, engage in conservation activities, connect socially with others
in the experiment and be rewarded for conservation.
This portal access will include functionality including ability to visualize Data over a
period of time, analytics that gives insights into consumption, analytics that compares
consumption with other households with similar profiles and ability to engage in energy
conservation activities and track performance changes over time as well as ability to
connect with the social network, to be set up by the City of Dubuque, around the topic of
Joint Development Agreement W1259551 Page 10 of 13
License Reference No. L126696
cons oration. This access will be provided for a duration of 12 mouths during which
IBM Research will create multiple groups of users and subject them to different levels of
information, insights and incentives and evaluate rtrategies implemented by the cities of
Dubuque, Algona and Ceder Palls for effectiveness. IBM shall have no responsibility
(other than analysis of the Data) for any incentives or rewards provided by the cities of
Dubuque, Algona and Ceder Palls. This portal will also be accessible from smartphones
through the use of a web browser.
