Status:
Open Agenda
Approve and authorize the execution of the attached Energy Services Agreement with FPL Services for Energy Conservation Measures in ten schools.
In September of 2001 and 2004, The School Board of Broward County, Florida, entered into Energy Service Agreements with FPL Services to perform utility saving retrofits to District schools. These projects were referred to as Phase 1 and Phase 2. Building on the success of these projects, staff has requested that FPL Services examine an additional twelve (12) schools and prepare Technical Energy Audits on these facilities per State Statute 1013.23 for Energy Efficiency Contracting. They have identified Energy (including water) conservation measures for these schools. This Energy Services Agreement stipulates that these improvements to the school will pay for themselves in a ten (10) year period, through avoided electric, water, fuel and maintenance material costs. The scope of work includes lighting retrofits with high efficiency lights, motion sensors, water conservation, irrigation control and air conditioning chiller replacement. Due to capital budget constraints only 10 of these 12 schools are included in this agenda item. Budget allowing, the remainder will be presented to the Board next year.
These utility savings measures will avoid $3,270,830 in electrical, water and maintenance materials over 10 years as guaranteed by FPL Services. If there is any shortfall in savings, as outlined in the agreement, FPL Services will monetarily reimburse the District. The retrofits will cost the District $2,363,571 and an additional $320,119 for ten (10) years of maintenance, measurement and verification of savings.
This Energy Services Agreement will authorize FPL Services to install utility savings measures as described above. Exhibit 2 will be on display in the lobby at the K.C. Wright Center, Board Members Office and Official School Board Records.
The Financial Impact is $2,683,690, which will be recovered through the guaranteed savings within the 10 year agreement period as stated in the Energy Services Agreement. The source of funds is the capital budget for Energy & Utility Conservation Program.
