Under this law,the <br /> "governing body"of a"political subdivision"is granted authority to enter into a Guaranteed Energy <br /> Savings Contract. <br /> The process outlined in the attached Resolution will be nearly identical to the process used for the <br /> previously completed Century Center Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract. For that project,the Council <br /> initiated the process by adopting Resolution No 4302-13 on Nov. 12,2013 which appointed the Board of <br /> Public Works and the Department of Public Works as the Council's Agents to oversee the guaranteed <br /> energy savings contract. <br /> As with the Century Center project, after a period of significant study, engineering, and design,the <br /> Council will be asked to take additional actions to approve the execution of the final Guaranteed Energy <br /> Savings Contract and associated project financing documents. <br /> City staff,with the Century Center project experience under their belts,are enthusiastic about utilizing this <br /> contracting model to bring cost-savings and sustainable operational upgrades to other facilities and <br /> departments in the City.Alexandro Bazan, Director of Sustainability, is available to respond to Common <br /> Council questions and concerns throughout the process. <br /> !�1 46 <br /> Prepared by: Lidya Abreha Approved by: Eric Horvath <br /> Project Engineer Executive Director <br /> Date: January 21, 2025 Date:January 22,2025 <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 1316 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Blvd. South Bend.Indiana 46601 www.southbendin.gov <br />
