w drawings, and equipment specification literature. All facilities personnel will have a comprehensive manual for reference. Ameresco personnel will be responsible for coordinating the delivery of our training program to the City. Monitoring & Verification IPMVP offers four options for transparently, reliably and consistently determining energy savings in a manner that enables independent verification. The four IPMVP Options are: Option A — ECM Isolation, measurement of key variables only - Other variables are stipulated Option B — ECM Isolation, measurement of all variables Option C — Whole facility utility measurement Option D — Whole facility calibrated simulation Ameresco anticipates using Option A for all proposed ECMs as a prudent option that establishes a proper balance between the M&V costs and the risks related to realizing the savings. The M&V plan will be designed to verify energy savings by combining industry operating standards and manufacturers' equipment ratings with proven engineering calculations in combination with hourly energy models (Trane Trace). Post -Installation Operations and Maintenance Ameresco has a vested interest in the equipment performance and maintenance required to realize all possible energy savings, which form the basis of our guarantee. Typically, the equipment and systems Ameresco proposes can be maintained and serviced by a variety of service entities, including maintenance personnel currently employed by City of South Bend, and/or a combination of service providers. In order to maximize the energy savings and equipment performance, the equipment and systems installed through this project should be maintained under an on -going, structured service program for the life of the equipment. With the current capabilities of the City's maintenance staff, such a program can be managed by the City's own staff with minimal outsourcing. Post -Installation Repair or Equipment Issue Resolution Ameresco's Project Manager will coordinate all warranty issues throughout the duration of the warranty period. Many ECMs such as lighting warranties will start long before the project is completed. Ameresco's project Manager will handle documenting warranty problems/fixes, etc. All warranties will remain the same if the City operates and/or maintains the equipment to manufacturer's recommendations. This will not affect the warranty or service contracts in any way. Ameresco can provide a cost for annual maintenance, parts, labor and warranty during the IGA process once final selection of the scope of work and selection of equipment has been performed.
