SUMMARY: The purchase and installation ofthe Neuros Turbo Blower is a grant funded project
through the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Conservation Grant Program. This is the sixth opportunity we
have had to take advantage of this energy conservation program. The PSE Conservation Grant
Program covers 70% of purchase and installation costs. The purchase price of the Neuros Turbo
Blower is $95,832.00 (including tax); the blower installation costs are $9,431.00. The total cost of the
project is $105,233.00, and PSE would reimburse the City the sum of$73,663.00, with the total cost
to the City being $31,570.00. The ROI (return on investment) would be achieved in 14 months. The
existing blower needs to be replaced and would have been replaced with a unit of similar technology.
This PSE program gives the City the opportunity to install a more expensive, higher efficiency
blower. To replace the existing unit with a similar unit would have cost over $70,000.

unfunded amount of$31,570.00.
