may be maximized and "other costs associated with the design and
construction of alternate energy projects may be minimized" . Such
projects do not require a formal bid process, but do require a public
hearing to determine that proceeding with the conservation project will
be in the best interest of the public agency.
An engineering study to determine the scope of the work required is
currently underway and will be completed prior to the October 18, 1994
hearing date, at which time, the anticipated energy savings and the
total project costs will be identified.
Both buildings identified have chillers which are old, malfunction
frequently creating downtime and repair expense, and use refrigerants
(CFCs) which will no longer be produced, as production of CFCs has been
banned under the Clean Air Act of 1992 . By replacing this equipment by
the end of the calendar year, the County will be eligible for Pacific
Gas & Electric energy rebates in an amount estimated to be 10 per cent
of the cost of the equipment.
III . FISCAL IMPACT
None.
