BACKGROUND:
The Public Services Department was recently notified that our grant application for energy
improvements was selected for funding by the MN Office of Energy Security. The grant award is in
the amount of $89,937 and requires a 50% match. The grant application consisted of three primary
components:
Civic Complex - Installing a high efficiency (94.6 %) boiler for primary heating loads /operations
and utilizing the existing 78% efficient boilers for peak demand time only will result in approximately
$7,800 in annual energy savings.
Public Works /Senior Center - The current mechanical systems are 27 -30 years old and have
reached their average life expectancy. Installing new high efficient furnaces and cooling equipment
will result in annual energy savings of $2,925.
Centennial Fire Station #2 - The current mechanical systems are approximately 19 years old
Ilind have efficiencies in the 70% range. Installing new heating equipment will provide 95% efficient
ratings and will result in annual energy savings of $2,371.
The above projects will result in excess of $13,000 in energy savings annually with a payback term of
6.6 years. Staff is seeking approval to enter into an agreement with the State of Minnesota to
execute the grant agreement. Staff recommends that the required matching funds be designated
from the Municipal Buildings & Facilities Fund.
