INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION OF ENGINEERING TO: Theresa Heffner, Clerk Board of Public Works FROM: Rebecca Plantz, Senior Project Engineer SUBJECT: Project Completion, Project No. 121-030 Morris Performing Arts Center Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract DATE: March 27, 2024 The Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract with Ameresco, Inc. was effective on October 26, 2021, setting the guaranteed maximum price for the cost of work at $5,361,000. The annual guaranteed savings amount is made up of energy savings and operating cost savings. These savings will be reported to the State of Indiana by Ameresco on the City’s behalf. The energy conservation measures included boiler and pump replacement, air handling unit replacements, rooftop and makeup air unit replacements, heatpump controls upgrades, new building automation system, plumbing fixture replacements, roofing replacement, fire alarm system replacement, and LED lighting upgrades. The first and only change order removed a failing water heater and looped that area into the building’s existing system, bringing the guaranteed maximum price to $5,386,410.00. The GESC approach promoted collaborative problem solving, permitted flexibility as unknowns were exposed, and made sustainable solutions more achievable for the building’s assets. This project’s qualification review was published and performed prior to the enactment of the City’s MWBE program and therefore, no goals were associated with this project. Overall, the success of the Morris Performing Arts Center Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract provided benefits to the asset and funds supporting it. Please call with your questions (5998).
