COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3122!2011 -Ord. No. 19589-03-2011.
DATE: Tuesday, March 22, 2011 REFERENCE NO.: **G-17232
LOG NAME: 2000NSRESACCT2
SUBJECT:
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing the Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Special Trust
Fund by $233,333.03 to Provide Funding for the City's Energy Savings Performance Contract with Johnson
Controls, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the
estimated receipts and appropriations in the Special Trust Fund by $233,333.03 to provide funding for the
City's Energy Savings Performance Contract with Johnson Controls, Inc.
DISCUSSION:
On January 25, 2011, M&C G-17179 authorized Appropriation Ordinance No. 19520-01-2011 to
effectively provide some of the necessary contingency funding for Energy Savings Performance Contract
(ESPC) Phase VI-b. This funding was provided through the City's successful participation in ONCOR
Electric Delivery's (ONCOR) commercial Standard Offer Program (SOP), after having received utility
incentives both directly from ONCOR, and through Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI), aCity-contracted Energy
Services Company (ESCo).
On January 25, 2011, M&C C-24718 also authorized Amendment No. 7 to City Secretary Contract (CSC)
No. 29110 with JCI for the ESPC Phase VI-b. This Energy Conservation Program project is largely
funded through the City's federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) award (M&C
C-23554, CSC No. 39311). An additional appropriation of $183,600.03 is necessary for contingency funds
in order to fully implement the EECBG program initiatives of ESPC Phase VI-b. The additional
appropriation will bring the total amount available for contingencies to this ESPC phase to $308,600.03, or
10 percent of the $3,085,591.00 approved project cost. This contingency amount is deemed appropriate
given that the project involves the installation of new high-technology systems and equipment (e.g. Solar
Energy and LED Lighting) as new to existing City facilities.
On January 18, 2011, an ONCOR SOP incentive totaling $233,333.03 was deposited into the
Conservation Reserve Account. In 2008, this account was established within the City's Special Trust Fund
to receive utility incentives secured through implementing Energy Conservation Program projects. This
utility incentive was received by the City from JCI after their having acted as the City's agent (ONCOR's
Program Sponsor) in implementing the City's ESPC Phase IV project (M&C C-22868, CSC No. 37266).
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation
ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Special Trust
Fund.
