CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Contract with Trane, Inc. Study Session Date: October 8, 2014
for the Wastewater Treatment Plant COUNCIL MEETING Date: October 15, 2014
Phase II Energy Efficiency Project Department: PW&U/WWTP
Presenter: Pat Coxon
Phone: (360) 473-5448
SUMMARY: RCW 39.35A provides a design-build process for constructing energy efficiency projects
on public facilities. Pursuant to this process, the Public Works Department completed Phase I and is
now working with Trane, Inc. an authorized energy services company, on Phase II. Because the City
had already planned to replace the Return Activated Sludge (RAS) Pumps, Aeration Blower#4,
Biotower Odor Control Fan and Headworks Odor Control Fan in the 2015 CIP, and because the
State is offering a grant program for energy efficiency projects, an opportunity existed to pursue this
Phase II project. Trane and the State have worked with City staff to define the project and develop
the financial analysis. At this point, the Phase II project is ready for Council approval. We believe this
project is an excellent candidate to receive a $272,172 grant in addition to the PSE energy utility
incentive of$98,246. We will know about the grant in November 2014. Approval is needed now in
order to procure equipment and materials in time to complete construction by September 2015. The
projected project payback is 8 years with both grants and 14.5 years without the State grant.
ATTACHMENTS:

FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): Expected total project cost (with $272,172 grant and
PSE utility incentive of$98,246) is $1,715,499. Budgeted amount in 2015 is $1,745,000. In the event
that the energy services grant is not awarded, the needed revenue will be provided under the 2015
WWTP/Pump Station Improvement Program (budgeted at $350,000).
