Dear Eric,
The proposed scope of engineering services and budget for the Energy Effidency and
Conservation Block Grant, Project and Program portions, is shown below.
Scope of Services:
Project — Provide engineering services for the solar lighting retrofit at the Brekke Park park
shelter (3 street lights, 2 area lights, 4 interior lights). Services will include the project design,
plans and specifications, construction management, and project closeout.
Program — Provide engineering services for the elements of Municipal Plan, Municipal Ordinances,
Energy Audits of the City Facilities, and Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories and Management
Plan.
• ( Bonestroo lead) Energy Audits of the City Facilities — This activity will provide an
audit of the new City Hall's commissioning, water utility fadlities and operations,
and other City facilities and operations. Opportunities to improve current facilities
and practices will be identified and potential corrective actions for sub -par
elements, recommended. Bonestroo will estimate the cost of each recommended
project and prioritize them by their expected energy savings payback.
• ( Bonestroo lead) Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories and Management Plan —
This activity will consist of performing a 2008 base year community greenhouse
gas emission inventory. Following completion of the baseline inventory, the
Bonestroo will work together with the City to formulate a greenhouse gas
management plan, consistent with the municipal master plan.
• ( Bonestroo support) Municipal Plan — This program activity will consist of
reviewing the plan from a sustainabiity perspective. Plan provisions that hinder
more efficient energy use will be identified. Plan changes that could provide
opportunities for more effective transportation and other energy - intensive
activities will also be identified. Specific plan revisions will be developed by the
City's planner, reviewed by Bonestroo, and presented to the City Council for their
consideration.
• ( Bonestroo support) Municipal Ordinances - This activity will consist of a
thorough review of the existing municipal ordinances to identify provisions that
are inconsistent with broad adoption of appropriate energy efficiency and
renewable energy practices. Changes will be suggested to correct such
inconsistencies. In addition, opportunities will be identified to promote energy
