We hope you find that Ameresco not <br />only has the ability to develop and timely construct this particular installation cost-effectively, but <br />that we have the wherewithal to wrap this project into a more holistic evaluation of the site's <br />energy needs. It is our intention to assist the City of South Bend with this project as well as to <br />identify potential opportunities at the location for greater energy savings through technology <br />improvements and behavioral modifications. <br />We would like to draw your attention to several points where Ameresco differentiates from our <br />competition. <br />• Cost effective (initial estimates at the location of $2.356 per watt) <br />• History and experience in the energy efficiency and renewable energy space <br />• Technology agnostic (we make recommendations but ultimately you make the decisions on <br />product and vendors used throughout the process) <br />• Focus on customer service by empowering our project management team and guaranteeing <br />results <br />• Professionalism is unmatched (showcased by our follow through) <br />• Innovation (bi-facial modules and microgrid exploration for resiliency at the fire station) <br />We applaud the City of South Bend for having the forward -thinking approach to investigate the <br />potential of solar power at this location. Thank you for the opportunity to take part. Please do <br />not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions with our submittal. <br />Sincerely, <br />- /.�, ': �_ T <br />Travis Murphy <br />Account Executive, Ameresco <br />(317) 418-3507 <br />
