RE: EECBG ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS
BACKGROUND
In 2009 the City of Oshkosh received a $634,100 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant ( EECBG) from the Department of Energy. In accordance with EECBG guidelines,
McKinstry, a nationally recognized energy efficiency firm, was utilized to identify energy
efficiency opportunities within our municipal buildings and prioritize them by payback to
maximize the full grant dollars.
McKinstry's audits identified seven areas of energy efficiency opportunities within our buildings
including lighting improvements, building envelope improvements, direct digital controls
implementation (DDC), water conservation upgrades, high efficiency motor implementation,
vending machine controls and steam trap replacement. The attached packet provides additional
information about the proposed energy efficiency projects including an estimate of project
costs /contingencies, an executive summary of project scopes within each building and estimated
timeframes for implementation. Updates on these projects were shared with the Sustainability
Advisory Board (SAB) at their 11/2/09, 5/3/10, 10/4/10 and 11/1/10 meetings.
This memo is a recommendation to award bids to three projects for which we solicited bids.
Purchasing also solicited quotes for the high efficiency motor implementation. The installation of
vending machine controls and the steam trap replacement will be done by internal staff and/or
outside contractors. Later this year Purchasing will work with Plumbing Inspections staff to
prepare bid specifications for the water conservation projects including the possibility of
replacing older bathroom fixtures with new, low -flow models and occupancy sensors.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with the McKinstry, Purchasing reviewed and prepared bid specifications
for lighting improvements, building envelope improvements and DDC. The bids were advertised
in the local paper and posted online on NovusVendor. Bids were received on October 28, 2010.
The bid tab is attached. Working with the McKinstry, Purchasing reviewed the bids and
concluded the low bids received from each of these three projects met the minimum bid
specifications. This information was also shared with the SAB.
FISCAL IMPACT
These three bids would have a fiscal impact of $422,566, which will be funded through the use of
the EECBG grant. McKinstry has estimated that when complete these projects would result in a
combined annual utility savings of over $100,000. Lighting improvements and building envelope
improvements would be charged to account 203 -1099- 7214 -00000 and DDC would be charged to
account 203 -1099- 7204 - 00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award the lighting improvements bid to Faith
Technologies Inc. for $224,097, the building envelope improvements bid to Building Envelope
Solutions for $95,505 and the direct digital controls (DDC) bid to Faith Technologies Inc. for
$102,964.
Respectfully Submitted,

Facility Improvement Measures (FIMs) —
Executive Summary
Building Envelope Improvements
This FIM will improve the building envelope performance and reduce energy consumption by reducing exterior
air infiltration into the conditioned spaces at various City of Oshkosh buildings.
Many areas and locations of the building envelopes have cracks, openings, gaps, and penetrations that allow
exterior air to infiltrate and contribute to increased heating requirements. Additionally, many exterior doors
and windows were found to have deteriorated or missing weather - stripping, faulty or failed sweeps and other
gaps that contribute to air infiltration.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A detailed audit of the roof /wall intersections, exterior doors and windows throughout the facilities was
conducted in which the primary focus included the following:
• Identifying building envelope locations including any exterior wall penetrations that could be sealed to
prevent air infiltration.
• Identifying exterior doors where the existing door sweeps and weather - stripping was deteriorated to a
point where it was no longer effective.
• Identifying windows where there was gaps between the window frame and building envelope that
could be caulked help reduce air infiltration.
• Identifying operable windows where the weather- stripping was deteriorated or missing and should be
replaced.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
■ Reduced energy consumption by reducing air infiltration primarily around the perimeter of each
building.
■ $14,000 projected annual utility savings.
■ 174,000 Ibs annual CO2 savings.
IMPLEMENTATION
• Installations in occupied spaces to occur during non - business hours (typically second shift).
• Installations in unoccupied spaces to occur during normal business hours.
• Estimated installation duration of 1 -2 months, commencing in December 2010.

which the primary focus included the following:
• Identifying Air Handling Unit systems where direct digital control upgrades would result in reduced
energy consumption.
• Identifying Boiler systems where direct digital control upgrades would result in reduced energy
consumption.
• Identifying Chiller systems where direct digital control upgrades would result in reduced energy
consumption.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
■ $18,000 projected annual utility savings.
■ 240,000 Ibs annual CO2 savings.
■ Improved system troubleshooting, system optimization, and ability to make system adjustments for
maintenance staff.
IMPLEMENTATION

conditioning (HVAC) systems throughout the facilities was conducted in which the primary focus included
the following:
• Identifying Air Handling Unit systems where high- efficiency motor upgrades would result in reduced
energy consumption.
• Identifying hydronic pumping systems where high- efficiency motor upgrades would result in reduced
energy consumption.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
■ $4,200 projected annual utility savings.
■ 62,000 Ibs annual CO2 savings.
