RE: LED Lighting Improvements-Oshkosh Convention Center
BACKGROUND
In 2009 the City of Oshkosh received a $634,100 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant (EECBG) from the Department of Energy. By late 2011 a substantial amount of these
grant funds have been invested in various municipal buildings in a wide range of energy
efficiency and conservation improvements including lighting retrofits,building envelope projects,
plumbing improvements and more.
From implementing the RF.C:RC lighting retrofit projects we received an estimated $55K in
additional Wisconsin Focus on Energy (WFOE) incentive funds. In accordance with EECBG
guidelines, any such incentive funds received as part of EECBG grant dollars must he reapplied
to additional energy efficiency/conservation projects and allocated by March 19, 2012, As such,
and with the recent energy saving opportunities developed in LED bulb technology, we have
concluded a LED lighting upgrade at the Oshkosh Convention Center (OCC) would be an
excellent candidate for the WFOE incentive funds.
ANALYSIS
Recent developments in LED and fluorescent bulb technology have shown there are tremendous
energy savings opportunities in upgrading existing eumpaet fluorescent, metal halide and
incandescent bulbs to more energy efficient LED and fluorescent bulbs. LED bulbs consume less
energy(80% less than comparable incandescent), have a longer lamp life (20 times longer than
incandescent and 4 times longer than compact fluorescent)and provide better quality and quantity
of light. In addition, the longer lamp life results in less bulb changing by our maintenance staff
which then allows for more efficient use of our maintenance resources.
Purchasing, Facilities Maintenance and Electric Division personnel reviewed and prepared
specifications for this project. Bids were advertised in the local paper and posted online on
NovusVendor. Bids were received on February 3, 2012. The bid tab is attached, Purchasing
reviewed the bids and concluded the sole bid received from Faith Technologies met the minimum
bid specifications. Faith Technologies anticipates the OCC LED lighting improvement project
will realize approximately$9,000 per year in utility savings.
'.,
FISCAL IMPACT
With the infusion of the WFOE incentives an estimated$57,000 remains from the EECBG grant.
This bid would have a fiscal impact of$46,648,which will be funded through this EECBG grant.
These improvements would be charged to account 203-1099-7214-00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this LED lighting improvement bid to Faith
Technologies for$46,648.
