MISCELLANEOUS & ENERGY PRESENTATION 06-02-08
Kevin Green, Vice President of Custom Energy Services, LLC, made a presentation to the Board on doing an Investment Grade Audit and Guaranteed Energy Performance Contract for Douglas County. Also present were Terry Bickham, Project Engineer; Jenny Hesseltine, Administrative Intern; and Bill Bell, Director of Maintenance. Green discussed different potential energy saving and improvement areas.
Johnson stated he wants to make sure the dollars we spend today insures the County will spend fewer dollars later. Green stated he can guarantee unit savings, but not in dollars because he has no control over the cost of the unit.
Jones asked if we could end up with a break even situation. Green stated in some situations you may break even.
Bill Bell, Director of Maintenance, stated there may be some suggestions we will not do. However, he feels the $19,000 would be well spent.
McElhaney stated he d s not want a study done on the Public Works department because there may be a new campus in a few years. He also feels the jail is already well versed on energy efficiency. He asked if the contract can be scaled back to include only the buildings that will continue to be in use.
Johnson stated the expenditure makes good sense. There is a possibility we can wind up with no savings, but may spend fewer dollars in the future. He thinks the unit costs will continue to increase no matter what we do. Jones stated he is also in support of the audit.
It was the consensus of the Board to direct staff to develop a contract for the audit based on the square footage of offices in use and to bring back to the Board for approval.
