Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Natalie Meyer, Sustainability Coordinator
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with McKinstry Essention, LLC. for an
Investment Grade Audit of City of Bozeman buildings and facilities.
MEETING DATE: January 6, 2014
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign the Professional Services Agreement for an Investment Grade Audit of City of Bozeman buildings and facilities.
BACKGROUND: As part of our ongoing effort to conserve energy and water within municipal
buildings and facilities, the City accepted proposals from three energy performance contractors
and selected McKinstry to complete an investment grade audit of 30 City buildings and facilities.
The 2011-2012 Climate Action Plan Report and Emissions Inventory suggests that the leading source of municipal greenhouse gas emissions is from buildings (29%), followed by water and
wastewater treatment operations (27%). Maximizing efficiency and identifying viable forms of
renewable energy within these buildings and facilities makes good management sense and will
be the most effective way to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and satisfy our obligations under the Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement.
In 2009, the City of Bozeman worked with the National Center of Appropriate Technology, to
complete a free NorthWestern Energy audit of ten municipal buildings. The audit provided
recommendations related to lighting, controls, and heating and cooling. In 2010, a Recovery Act
grant known as the Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant was awarded to the City of Bozeman. Funding from this grant was primarily used to implement the lighting recommendations from this audit. As a result, the City reduced electricity use by 13 percent and
is saving over $16,800 per year. Facilities Services and other departments continue to implement
energy conservation measures throughout the organization. Notable savings have occurred at the
Story Mansion, Swim Center, Vehicle Maintenance Building, and City Hall. That said, additional opportunities exist and we need a comprehensive strategy to help prioritize energy efficiency and renewable energy projects across departments.
Recognizing this need, the Facilities Services Manager, the Public Works Director, and
Sustainability Coordinator proposed in the FY14 budget that we develop an Energy and
Conservation Master Plan for city buildings and facilities. The goal was to create a detailed list
68
of potential energy and water conservation, efficiency, and renewable energy projects with cost
estimates, electricity and gas savings, and Return on Investment (ROI) data for each project.
These data would help the City prioritize projects to be included in the Capital Improvement
Plan and ensure that the most beneficial projects are implemented accordingly.
The Commission approved the Energy and Conservation Master Plan in the FY14 budget with $20,000 budgeted through Sustainability in the General Fund, $15,000 budgeted through the
Water Reclamation Facility, and $15,000 budgeted through the Water Treatment Plant.
Staff selected McKinstry, an Energy Service Company (ESCO), to complete an Investment
Grade Audit on 30 City buildings and facilities, which are detailed in EXHIBIT B. Locations were selected based on the magnitude of potential utility savings and the technical complexity of
the building or facility. McKinstry will identify and evaluate energy-saving opportunities and
match the most appropriate technologies to our needs; develop preliminary engineering designs
and specifications; price; calculate the savings; package available financing and rebates; and
offer a performance guarantee for their design, construction costs, and operational savings.
Energy Services Companies typically offer Investment Grade Audits and Energy Performance
Contracts. They provide turnkey service, sometimes compared to design/build construction
contracting which equips customers with a comprehensive set of energy efficiency, renewable
energy and distributed generation measures and is generally accompanied with guarantees that
the savings produced by a project will be sufficient to finance the full cost of the project. A typical Energy Performance Contract consists of the following elements:
• Turnkey Service: The Energy Services provides all of the services required to design
and implement a comprehensive project at the customer facility, from the initial energy
audit through long-term monitoring and verification of project savings.
• Comprehensive Measures: The ESCO tailors a comprehensive set of measures to fit the needs of a particular facility, and can include energy efficiency, renewable, distributed
generation, water conservation and sustainable materials and operations.
• Project Financing: The ESCO arranges for long-term project financing that is often provided by a third-party financing company.
• Project Savings Guarantee: The ESCO provides a guarantee that the savings produced
by the project will be sufficient to cover the cost of project financing for the life of the
project.
The first stage of a Peformance Contract is the Investement Grade Audit. The total cost of the Investment Grade Audit is $52,000. Subsequently, the City will have an opportunity to enter into
an Energy Performance Contract with McKinstry to implement the energy, water, and other
operating cost saving measures and would have no up-front payment obligations under the
Investment Grade Audit agreement, but the fee would be incorporated into McKinstry’s project costs. If the City does not wish to enter into an Energy Performance Contract, the City will simply pay the Investment Grade Audit fee and the contract will terminate.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: There are no known unresolved issues to be addressed by the
Commission.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission.
69
FISCAL EFFECTS: The total project cost is $52,000, of which $50,000 was authorized by the
City Commission in the FY14 budget. The $2,000 balance will be paid through the Sustainability
budget.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this _____ day of ____________, 2014, by and
between the CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, a self governing municipal corporation organized
and existing under its Charter and the laws of the State of Montana, 121 North Rouse Street, Bozeman,
Montana, with a mailing address of PO Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771, hereinafter referred to as
“City,” and, McKinstry Essention, LLC, with a mailing address of 5005 Third Avenue South, Seattle,
WA, 98134, hereinafter referred to as “Contractor.”
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the receipt and
sufficiency of being hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Purpose: City agrees to enter this Agreement with Contractor to perform for City an
Investment Grade Audit (hereinafter referred to as “IGA”). The results of the IGA may lead the City to
determine the feasibility of entering into an Energy Performance Contract (an “EPC”) with Contractor
that could, if entered into, provide for the installation and implementation of energy, water, and other
operating cost saving measures at City facilities.
2. Effective Date/Timing of Performance: This Agreement is effective upon the date of
its execution. Contractor shall complete the IGA and present the City a final report within ninety (90)
business days from the execution of this Agreement.
3. Scope of Services/Energy Performance Contract: Contractor will perform the work
and provide the services in accordance with the Scope of Services attached hereto as Attachment “A”
and by this reference made a part hereof. For conflicts between this Agreement and the Scope of
Services, unless specifically provided otherwise, the Agreement governs. Attachment B shall include a
list of facilities for which Contractor shall provide services. The Parties agree to work diligently to
provide full and accurate information to each other. Contractor agrees to work diligently to assess
validity of information provided by the City and to confirm or correct the information as needed.
Contractor shall include in its final report a recommended package of energy and water saving measure
as identified in the Scope of Services.
71
Professional Services Agreement for Investment Grade Audit FY 2013 – FY 2014
Page 2 of 11
The Parties intend to negotiate an EPC under which the Contractor will design, install and implement
energy conservation measures which the Parties have agreed to and provide certain maintenance and
monitoring services. However, nothing in this Agreement should be construed as an obligation on either
of the Parties to execute such an agreement. The terms and provisions of such an EPC will be set forth
in a separate agreement.
4. Payment: Subject to this section, City agrees to pay Contractor $52,000.00 (fifty two thousand
dollars and zero cents) for performance of the services identified in the Scope of Services. Any
alteration or deviation from the described services that involves additional costs above the Agreement
amount will be performed by Contractor only after written request by the City, and will become an
additional charge over and above the amount listed in the Scope of Services. The City must agree in
writing upon any additional charges.
If the City accepts the IGA conducted under this Agreement and enters into a subsequent EPC
with Contractor, the City shall have no up-front payment obligations under this Agreement. The parties
acknowledge that should the parties enter into an EPC the amount described above shall be incorporated
into Contractor’s project costs as described in the EPC. If the City accepts the IGA but fails to enter into
an EPC with the Contractor to implement energy and water saving measures identified with the IGA
within ninety (90) business days of delivery of the IGA, City shall pay the Contractor the amount
identified above and upon such payment this Agreement will terminate without any further liability to
either party.
Should the Contractor determine any time during the IGA that sufficient savings cannot be
attained to meet the City’s terms requiring that total projects have an aggregate simple payback of 15
years or less, the Contractor shall terminate the IGA by written notice to the City. A simple payback
means total project cost of a measure divided by annual energy savings. In this event this Agreement
shall be cancelled and the City shall have no obligation to pay, in whole or in part, the amount specified.
5. Contractor’s Representations: To induce City to enter into this Agreement, Contractor
makes the following representations:
a. Contractor is pre-qualified by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality to
provide services as described in Attachment A.

e. Feasibility of system replacement
f. Hazardous materials and other environmental concerns
g. City's future plans for equipment replacement or building
renovations
h. Facility operation and maintenance procedures that could be
affected.
1.3.5. Customer will allow ESCO reasonable access to facility staff to
ensure understanding of existing systems and opportunities. ESCO
agrees to work diligently to assess validity of information provided
and to confirm or correct the information as needed.
1.4. Establish base year consumption and reconcile with end use consumption
estimates.
1.4.1. Examine utility bills for the past 36 months and establish base year
consumption for electricity, gas, steam, water, etc. in terms of
energy units (kWh, kW, ccf, Therms, gallons, or other units used in
bills) and in terms of dollars. Describe the process used to
determine the base year (averaging, selecting most representative
contiguous 12 months, etc.). Consult with facility personnel to
account for any anomalous billings that could skew the base year
representation.
1.4.2. Estimate loading, usage and/or hours of operation for all major end
uses representing over five percent of total facility consumption
including, but not limited to:
85
Attachment A to Investment Grade Audit Professional Services Agreement Page 5 of 9
a. Lighting
b. Heating
c. Cooling
d. HVAC motors (fans and pumps)
e. Plug loads
f. Kitchen equipment
g. Other/miscellaneous
1.4.3. Where loading or usage are highly uncertain (including variable
loads such as cooling), ESCO will use its best judgment or take
direction from the City to use spot measurements or short-term
monitoring.
1.4.4. Reconcile annual end-use estimated consumption with the annual
base year consumption to within five percent for electricity (kWh),
fuels and water. Also reconcile electric peak demand (kW) for
each end use within five percent. The miscellaneous category can
be no greater than five percent. This reconciliation will place
reasonable limits on potential savings.
1.5. Develop a preliminary analysis of potential energy conservation measures
(ECMs):
1.5.1. Identify ECMs, which appear in the judgment of the ESCO to be
likely to be cost effective and therefore warrant detailed analysis.
1.5.2. For each ECM, prepare a preliminary estimate of energy cost
savings including description of analysis methodology, supporting
calculations and assumptions used to estimate savings.
1.5.3. The City's rejection of calculations of savings, or potential savings
allowed, shall be at the risk of the ESCO. This is subject to third
party review. Valid calculations cannot be rejected.
1.6. Preliminary Investment Grade Audit Presentation:
1.6.1. Prepare a presentation, which includes assessment of energy use,
savings potential, retrofit opportunities, and potential for
developing an energy performance contract. Describe how the
projected project economics meet the City's terms for completing
the requirements of the audit report.
86
