' YEAR FOUR ENERGY CONSERVATION
BASED CONTRACT REPORT
Date: May 20, 2003
PERFORMANCE
In 1997, Property Management developed the first Citywide energy
conservation performance based contract in the State of Florida. The City
Commission approved the contract with Johnson Controls Inc., on January 21,
1998. The contract provided for the retrofitting or replacement of existing
building equipment such as lighting systems, HVAC systems, and energy
management systems, in 26 separate City facilities to provide for energy
savings. The performance-based contracts has provided for the installation of
approximately $2,500,000 in new and upgraded energy efficient equipment that
is guaranteed to be 100% funded by the energy savings realized by the
contract. This contract also allowed the project to be completed without the
need or requirement of any capital expenditure outlays by the City.
During the eight-month construction process that required both Johnson
Controls staff and the City's Property Management staff to complete, the City
received over $91,000.00 in energy efficient rebates from Florida Power and
Light. The City also realized an additional $67,766.00 in direct energy savings
during the construction period alone. In October 1998, with the installation of
over 150 energy efficient measures, including the retrofitting of over 8000 light
fixtures Citywide, the installations were completed. Specific energy
performance tracking of all of the facilities included in the contract was
commenced in November 1998, to provide for a check and balance review of
the energy consumption comparisons with pre-contract histories of each
building's energy use.
At the end of October 2002, the fourth annual reconciliation report was
prepared in order to determine the overall performance of the contract. The
total energy savings realized in the fourth year alone of the performance-based
contract is $485,433.42. To date, the total energy savings, realized by the City
for the first four years of the performance based contract, on the buildings
included in the contract, is $1,660,086.00. This savings is well above the
projected $1,350,245.00 of guaranteed energy savings that is outlined and
required in the base contract. This provides the City with a positive variance of
$309,841.20 above the guaranty of the contract.
Some of the specific buildings that were precisely measured by direct energy
bill comparisons over previous years included the following savings in the past
12 months:
City Hall
Police Department Building
Scott Rakow Youth Center
South Shore Community Center
$ 75,292.00
$102,752.00
$ 54,169.00
$18,325.00
Although buildings such as the Convention Center and TOPA cannot be
measured by direct utility bill comparisons due to the changing schedules and
bookings, an energy analysis was performed using the operation time and
equipment run-time, for the energy comparisons of both facilities. The results of
these comparisons revealed a past year's savings of $60,286.00 at the
Convention Center and an additional savings of $6,175.00 for TOPA.
The environmental benefits realized by these energy savings has the equivalent
in pollution reductions of removing 20,687,793 pounds of Carbon Dioxide,
280,510 pounds of Sulfur Dioxide, and 122,728 pounds of Nitrogen Oxides from
our air. These energy savings also has the environmental equivalents of
removing 2,066 cars from our roads and planting 2,836 acres of trees.
I have attached an energy savings breakdown of each facility and copies of
electrical comparisons of four of our largest buildings that show the electrical
costs and realized savings for each individual facility, for your review and
comments.
