PROPOSAL TO ENTER INTdAN ENERGY SERVICES March 26, 2002
CONTRACT FOR HVAC REPLACEMENT AT 1122
ESCOBAR STREET, MARTINEZ, CA (BUILDING'
#TO0007)'
BACKGROUND
California Government Code §4217.12 — 4217.18 allows government agencies "the greatest possible
flexibility" in structuring energy conservation agreements so that the economic benefits may be
maximized, and financing and other costs associated with the design and construction of energy
projects may be minimized. The HVAC work proposed will replace 30+ year old units with high
efficiency units and meets the conditions of these code sections.
The Sheriff's Department applied for and was, successful in receiving grant monies that will
completely fund the replacement of these rooftop units. General Services continues to work with the
County Administrator's Office and other departments to pursue available grants, rebates and other'
sources of revenue to offset County costs for equipment and fixtures which reduce energy
consumption, reduce ;maintenance and operational costs to customer departments, realize annual
utility savings to the County and meet the requirements for federal,'state'and local laws, ordinances
and mandates.
Consistent with the Board's Energy Reduction Plan, the County initiated 19 energy efficient retrofit
projects in 'FY 2001-02, which includes the installation of digital controls, HVAC system upgrades and
lighting retrofits. Low interest loans from the California Energy Commission and PG&E rebates have
helped fund these projects. In addition, the General Services Department is currently working on
installing photovoltaic panels at two locations (Martinez Detention' Facility and 50 Douglas [give,
Martinez) that will be 50% funded by PG&E monies. We will continue to identify projects which'meet
the Board's goals to reduce'County energy usage by 8% overall, and 10% for electrical usage.
