EECBG Activity Worksheet Grantee: City of San Marcos DUNS #. 69462869 Date: 06/08/2009 Program Contact Email: RSalmon@sanmarcostx.gov Program Contact First Name: Richard PrniactTitla• Energy Efficiency Building Retrofits Last Name: Salmon Activity: 5. Energy Efficiency Retrofits Sector: Public Proposed Number of Jobs Created: 6.00 Proposed Energy Saved and/or Renewable Energy Generated: Proposed GHG Emissions Reduced (C02 Equivalents): Proposed Funds Leveraged: Proposed EECBG Budget: 1.00, 000.00 Projected Costs Within Budget: Administration: Project Contact First Name: Metric Activity: Building Retrofits Project Summary: (limit summary to space provided) If Other: Subgrants: Email: Our proposed public facilities energy efficiency retrofits will provide the citizens of San Marcos a more efficient use of tax payers monies by decreasing energy use and thus dollars to pay for those kilowatt hours. The citizens will also benefit from an annual pollution reduction of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and mercury. The City has had an Energy Consumption and Performance Audit completed for the city owned buildings in late 2008. The audit calculated the Energy Utilization Index (EUI) and Energy Cost Index (ECI) for all of the buildings. Knowing the EUI and ECI is useful to help determine the overall energy performance of the City. The City's EUI of 102 indicates the building performance can be improved. According to the Audit, the lighting, occupancy sensors with day-lighting controls, energy saving devices on vending machines, HVAC system retrofits, EMS upgrades and retro-commissioning should be improved or installed in the city hall complex. The work will. be accomplished at 630 E. Hopkins St. The City will use the EECBG funds allocated for this activity to pay for these improvements and will finance the remainder of the funds necessary to accomplish the work. The City will provide staff to oversee the construction. Hays County of which the City is the County seat and the largest city within the County, has been listed as approaching non-attainment. The retrofitting of the complex will provide a long-term solution to rising energy costs, as well as helping the County meet its attainment goals. The City will through the bid process, receive the greatest savings on the installation of the proposed retrofits. The implementation of this portion of the grant program will be accomplished within 12 months of funding. With the funds saved through this project, the City will be able to retain one job. Construction of retrofits will supply 6 temporary jobs. The Building Retrofit Program proposes the following series of steps to ensure accountability: 1. The City has completed a Building Assessment of all systems within all City buildings. 2. Through this assessment, the City buildings that will realize the greatest savings have been identified and included in this project. 3. The City will require that the improvements meet the State competitive bidding processes and assure the best dollar value of the work. 4. Construction will. be overseen by City staff with a required final inspection and warranty period. *The City has had the city buildings reviewed for energy efficiency through a review of energy use. A specific cost estimate in preparation for retrofitting will need to be accomplished to calculate the energy savings and carbon usage.
