SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

with American Synergy Cooperation by increasing the contract amount from $25, 000
to $80, 000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. All costs will be reimbursed by Pacific Gas and Electric Energy Partner
and the State Weatherization Program.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Department' s goal is to spend all the grant funds that have been made
available to the County. Grant funds are provided by the State' s Energy program
and Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Maximizing the utilization of available
funds would help improve the quality of dwellings in Contra Costa County. These
funds are targeted to low-income residents, in order to help lower their energy
expenses. Specifically, the funds are used to install. florescent light bulbs,
weather-stripping, attic insulation, switch and plug gaskets, and water heater
blankets.
The deadline for utilization of State Weatherization funds is November 2001. In
order to increase the production level and maximize utilization of these available
funds, the Department decided to increase its use of outside contractors. This
necessitates increased and continued use of the services provided by American
Synergy Corporation.
American Synergy Corporation is one of the few companies doing contract work for
the Pacific Gas and Electric Energy Partner Program and the State Weatherization
Program. American Synergy is a Small Local Business Enterprise.
