Energy Performance Contracting Services Ameresco completed an energy performance contract at South Bend's Century Center, and the project was awarded for "Excellence in Construction" by the Michiana Area Construction Industry. For the purpose of our effort herein, we will be partnering with the South Bend -based, experienced solar development/installation team of Inovateus Solar. Ameresco and Inovateus' experience with the City of South Bend, coupled with our knowledge of Indiana codes, local trades, structural requirements, incentives, etc., enables us to again provide the City of South Bend with a high quality, predictable, safe, smoothly run, expeditious project. c. Describe experience providing services specificto this project, . n•�� Typicali. •- •contracting We can seamlessly execute the Construction, Implementation, and the subsequent Commissioning / Guarantee / Monitoring Phase Because our project implementation capabilities are fully integrated with the project identification. From project development through construction to ongoing operation, Ameresco handles any and all steps. Ameresco provides all of the services required to develop and deliver energy and operational -related cost reductions which includes auditing of the facility, design/engineering of the selected measures, managing project implementation, assisting with financing as necessary, and monitoring the output of the system such that it meets pre -established performance expectations. All of the services associated with the process of analyzing, designing and implementing these projects are managed directly by Ameresco employees. As part of the development process, Ameresco will enlist the services of a local, third -party structural engineer and roofing company chosen by the City to determine the ability of the roof to support the additional load of the roof -top installation as well as to determine the actual remaining useful life of the existing roofing material. This is included in our pricing estimates found herein. A third -party evaluation will lend integrity to the process by eliminating any doubt the City may have in Ameresco's intention with this project. Further, we will be evaluating the potential of including a white foam insulation to the roof as a means to improve the current roof system's R-value as well as to production of the solar system which will be employing dual -sided panels that benefit from added reflectivity of the roof itself. iii. Renewable energy installations (If applicable, number of kW of solar PV installed in Indiana) Ameresco has built nearly every type of solar energy solution. We are best known for customizing solar projects for the specific needs of our customer, and, as a result, have built unique projects on municipal landfills, parking garages, parking lots, interstate highways, military bases, industrial plants, schools, municipal buildings, and airports to name a few applications. We have developed and constructed nearly 200 MW of distributed solar projects around the country to -date which includes approximately 3MW in Indiana. Ameresco has also paired our solar PV projects with energy storage and interconnection controls for microgrid applications to meet resiliency objectives City of South Bead •- August 27, 2019 6 4 Performance Contracting "Page content is subject to Confidentiality Restrictions"
