The purpose of this Informal Report is to inform the Mayor & Council of the City's Conservation
Program sustainability based on specific initiatives developed in response to the City's goal of
Improved Mobility and Air Quality. Following are the pertinent projects for consideration including a
Project Summary, Current Projects, Proposed Projects and Future Projects for the near-term.
Program Background
The City's Conservation Program continues to develop, implement and track projects both in service of
the above-stated Council goal, and in response to the State's goal of im roved environmental air
quality as forwarded through the passage of Texas Senate Bills 5 (SB5177 Legislature. 2001) and 12
(SB 12/8 01h Legislature, 2006.) These bills provide amendments to Local Government Code Chapter 302,
Energy or Water Conservation Measures for Local Governments. The current Program goal is to
achieve electricity usage reductions of 5-percent annually through 2012, using 2007 as the baseline vear.
In City FY02, staff identified energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) as a technically and
financially viable vehicle to develop, implement and track such conservation projects. To this end, the
City developed and issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify qualified Energy Services Companies
(ESCos.) Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) was ultimately selected as the preferred ESCo to assist the City in
the development, implementation and tracking of ESPCs for its facilities. TPW's Facilities Management
Group is responsible for managing these and other internal City Conservation Program efforts.
Conservation Program projects continue to be developed as "budget-neutral" to the City. All project
costs are financed such that utility savings accumulate to cover principal & interest payments. During
project implementation, cost savings accrue to City utility accounts; finance payments are not due until
after project Substantial Completion. For ESPCs, the ESCo guarantees projected cost savings, tracking
and reporting this cost avoidance through 3 "d -party approved measurement & verification (M&V) plans.

Current Projects
In September 2003, M&C C-19739 authorized execution of the City's first energy savings performance
contract, ESPC Phase 1. The project included lighting, air-conditioning and plumbing improvements to

buildings. Completed in September 2004, M&V reports currently indicate that performance is exceeding
guaranteed savings estimates; utility incentives totaling $281,667 were deposited to the General Fund.
In February 2006, M&C
I C-21289 authorized execution of ESPC Phase 11 that included air-conditioning
and power factor improvements to the Will Rogers Memorial Center, the Fort Worth Convention Center,

estimates; utility incentives of—$300,000 are anticipated for deposit to a Special Trust Fund account.
Proposed Projects
In September 2008, M&C C-23046 authorized execution of a Project Development Agreement with JCI
to conduct a Detailed Energy Study of the Fort Worth Water Department (FWWD) wastewater facility to
identify energy saving equipment retrofit and process improvement opportunities. In the coming month,
staff plans to forward an M&C seeking authority to execute this project as ESPC Phase V. Jointly. TPW
and FWWD staff anticipate an 18-month construction period with completion in 2011; a utility incentive
application is anticipated, with deposit to a Water & Sewer Fund account dedicated to future such efforts.
In June 2009, M&C C-23554 authorized application for & acceptance of a Energy Efficiency &
Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program funded through the federal American Recovery &
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This month, staff will begin working with JCI in development of a
preliminary audit to consider EECBG objectives for City sustainabilily.,,iiiitiatives that include Planning
& Strategy, Efficient Lighting, Renewable Energy, High-Performance Buildings, Facility Operations &
iVaintenance, Transportation, Water Utility and Incentives.
