DISCUSSION:
On May 15, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4089-05-2012 authorizing the City Manager to
enter into a Community Partner Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy for its Better Buildings
Challenge (BBC) Program. The Agreement encourages local entities to join the City of Fort Worth (City)
in making Fort Worth's municipal, commercial, and industrial buildings at least 20 percent more efficient by
the year 2020.
The Better Building public-private partnership assists the City in achieving the energy conservation goals
established by City Council adoption of Resolution No. 4130-09-2012 in its effort to comply with Senate
Bili 898 of the 82nd Legislative Session of 2011, as codified in Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter
388. This effort is managed by the Property Management Department as part of its Resource
Conservation Program and the funds used to support this program come, in part, from utility incentives
and reimbursements.

through programs such as its Commercial Standard Offer Program (SOP) which offers monetary
incentives to customers for their successful implementation of qualifying energy conservation
measures. In City FY2008, a Resource Conservation Program project was established within the City's
Special Purpose Fund to receive utility incentives secured through implementing its program
projects. The City, having successfully participated in programs such as Oncor's SOP, has received
incentives either directly from Oncor, or indirectly through Johnson Controls, Inc., (JCI), a City-contracted
Energy Services Company, for JCI's implementation of City Energy Savings Performance Contract
(ESPC) projects.
On May 21, 2013, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-26273) approved Amendment No. 8 to the
City's ESPC with JCI for Phase 7 for improvements to building mechanical and electrical systems affecting
over 100 City facilities. Subsequently, in FY2015 and FY2016 respectively and as related to ESPC Phase
7, the City received and deposited into the Resource Conservation Program project lease interest totaling
$31,344.43 and SOP incentives in the amount of$159,331.26.
An additional $36,010.39 in funding related to utility incentives and reimbursements was received during
FY2015 and FY2016. These funds were deposited as revenue into the Resource Conservation Program
project of the Special Purpose Fund (25002) and are intended to be used for the final payment of the
ESPC Phase 7 project in the amount of$22,271.00, as well as for the implementation of energy
conservation projects in the amount of$204,415.08.
On August 17, 2010, M&C C-24406 approved Amendment No. 6 to the City's ESPC with JCI for Phase 6a
for improvements to building mechanical and electrical systems affecting the Village Creek Water
Reclamation Facility. Subsequently, in FY2012 and as related to ESPC Phase 6-a, the City received and
deposited into the Resource Conservation Program project Oncor incentives in the amount of
$9,644.16. It is necessary to transfer this incentive revenue for projects completed at the Village Creek
Facility to the Water and Sewer Fund.
The purpose of this M&C is to obtain City Council's approval to use the available funding to authorize 1)
the final payment of the completed ESPC Phase 7 project, 2) the transfer Oncor utility incentives to the
Water and Sewer Fund, and 3) continued support for City Better Buildings initiatives, including future
Resource Conservation Program projects.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
