City Hall <br />801 Michigan Avenue <br />La Porte, IN 46350 <br />December 9, 2024 <br />City of South Bend Public Works <br />South Bend, IN <br />Dear Public Works Team, <br />1832 <br />Department of Engineering and Building <br />Nicholas Minich <br />(219) 362-2327 <br />n m i n ich @cityofla po rtei n.g ov <br />www.cityoflaporte.com <br />I am writing to highly recommend Schneider Electric based on their exceptional work with the City of La Porte, Indiana. <br />Over the past several years, Schneider Electric has proven to be a reliable and innovative partner, and I believe they would <br />be a valuable asset for any project you may be considering. <br />One of the most notable projects that Schneider Electric completed for us was the installation of a solar field, <br />approximately 1 MW in size, which powers the La Porte Wastewater Treatment Plant. From the initial design phase <br />through installation and commissioning, every aspect of the project went smoothly. Schneider Electric demonstrated <br />remarkable expertise and professionalism, ensuring that the project was completed on time and within budget. <br />The financial benefits of this project have been exceptional. Not only has the solar field significantly reduced our energy <br />costs, but Schneider Electric also implemented energy conservation measures across various city buildings, resulting in <br />substantial savings. Their commitment to delivering tangible results was further underscored by the guaranteed solar <br />production through the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) Option B, which was <br />an added benefit as these sizable savings were not stipulated, but measured as part of our agreement. <br />In addition, the success of the solar field project in 2019 led us to engage Schneider Electric for additional phases of <br />guaranteed energy savings projects. Ty Miller and the Schneider Electric team have consistently gone above and beyond <br />to meet or exceed our expectations, earning our trust and respect over the more than seven years of partnership. <br />I am pleased to report that the solar field continues to perform effectively and save the City of La Porte significant money <br />after five years of operation. Schneider Electric's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has made a lasting impact <br />on our community. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Schneider Electric for any future projects you may have. <br />Their expertise, integrity, and commitment to excellence will undoubtedly lead to successful outcomes. <br />Sincerely, <br />1I�,G.Jko--4 <br />Nicholas Minich, PE <br />City Engineer <br />City of La Porte, Indiana <br />
