Therese Dorau, Director of the Office of Sustainability, with offices located on the 13th floor of the County-City Building, South Bend, IN, stated, Guaranteed Energy Savings Contracts are a special type of public works project and,therefore, are governed under State Statute. They account for both the design of an energy savings project as well as the construction of the project. The first step of that is an energy audit of all facilities that would be considered for treatment under the project. That will include all Venues Parks &Arts facilities as well as outdoor facilities including trails and ballparks. It is a great opportunity to save energy but it does require a lot of collaboration between the Council and a very qualified partner. With your aye votes on this, we will be able to move forward with the design of this project and would come back to the Council with a project recommendation after the several months of engineering. 14
