WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 2 <br />Date: Council Work Session, September 7, 2010 <br />To: Mayor Reinert and City Council Members <br />From: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />Re: Electrical Changeout Savings Proposal — Public Works Facility <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Public Services Department continues to evaluate potential cost savings measures <br />to reduce expenditures. Staff recommends that we incorporate a lighting retrofit <br />program at the Public Works Facility. <br />The Public Works Facility, built in 1971, has potential to take advantage of current <br />rebate programs to install energy efficient lighting. This includes retrofitting 196 <br />fixtures. The total project cost is $19,452. With $4,790 in rebates, the total project cost <br />is reduced to $14,662. With projected annual energy savings of $2,618, the payback <br />term is approximately 5.6 years. <br />FYI — The Centennial Fire District has already approved moving forward with their <br />lighting retrofit program. With a total project cost of $6,548 and rebates of $3,521, the <br />payback term is only 1.1 years. The Centennial Fire District has already committed to <br />funding this program. <br />Staff recommends that the funding for the lighting retrofit program for the Public <br />Works Facility be designated from the Municipal Buildings & Facilities Fund. <br />
