AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to provide a Public Benefits Program
Grant in the amount of $33,144.00 to fund the Salvation Army Demand-side
Management Project
MEETING DATE: June 6. 2001
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager
to provide a Public Benefits Program Grant in the amount of
$33,144.00 to fund the Salvation Army Demand-side Management
Project as part of a two-phase energy efficiency improvement project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Two months ago, the Salvation Army of Lodi requested that the City
of Lodi Electric Utility provide recommendations for a facility -wide
energy efficiency (demand-side management) improvement project.
As a result of the energy analysis, two specific projects were identified to assist the Salvation Army of Lodi
in reducing their monthly energy bills.
The first project (Phase I- located at the 525 W. Lockeford Street facility) will entail:
• removal of the five (5) existing gas/electric rooftop heating & cooling (HVAC) units;
• install one (1) high efficiency Trane 3 -ton electric/gas HVAC unit; three (3) Trane 4 -ton high
efficiency electric/gas HVAC units; and one (1) Trane 5 -ton high efficiency electric/gas HVAC unit;
• add economizers to each of the new, high efficiency HVAC units (five total); and
• install programmable thermostats/zone sensors with nighttime setback capability.
It is anticipated that the five (5) new energy efficient HVAC units will reduce the Salvation Army's monthly
energy bill by as much as 10 to 15 percent. The Public Benefits Program grant of $33,144 reflects a 100
percent grant to fund the Phase I project, as consistent with the previous grants awarded to
community/non-profit organizations.
Note: The Phase Il energy efficiency improvement project, slated for implementation in late 2001 or early
2002, involves a complete lighting retrofit of the Salvation Army of Lodi's facilities located on Lockeford
Street.
After several site visits and a thorough review, the City of Lodi Electric Utility respectfully recommends
approval of this grant as a qualifying element of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
