Introduced by the County Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A PERFORMANCE CONTRACT WITH TRANE GLOBAL CONTROLS AND CONTRACTING, INC.

RESOLUTION #04-006

WHEREAS, Ingham County issued proposals for qualified Energy Services Companies to assist the County in reducing the consumption and related costs of energy and water use in county facilities; and

WHEREAS, as a result of the selection process, TRANE Global Controls and Contracting, Inc (TRANE), was selected as the most qualified vendor; and

WHEREAS, a preliminary analysis of county facilities conducted by TRANE identified a number of improvements, including lighting retrofits, building automation system/temperature control repairs and improvements, which if implemented, would reduce consumption and related costs of energy and water use in county buildings while improving occupant comfort; and

WHEREAS, a preliminary financial analysis conducted by TRANE has concluded that the savings in energy and water usage as a result of such improvements would more than pay for the costs of the improvements over a 10 year period; and

WHEREAS, TRANE has proposed to enter into a Performance Contract in which guaranteed energy savings and operational cost savings are more than sufficient to cover the costs of the improvements over the term of the Contract; and

WHEREAS, the County Controller and the Director of Facilities are recommending that such a contract be authorized.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes a Performance Contract with TRANE, based on the County's RFP and the proposal by TRANE.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Controller and County Attorney are authorized to negotiate the Performance Contract, which shall include a guarantee by TRANE as to the amount of energy savings to be accomplished from the improvements made by TRANE.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County will have no obligation to authorize TRANE to carry out the improvements, if following the detailed feasibility study, the energy savings guaranteed by TRANE, in conjunction with operational savings identified by TRANE and county staff, are not sufficient to pay the costs of the improvements over a ten year period.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the total cost of the proposed improvements will not exceed $1.7 million.
