2026-30 NEW BUSINESS
A. Energy Performance Contract Public Works
Director of Public Works, Dan VanderHeide, presented the results of the
development phase of the Energy Performance Contract, including final scope
and pricing.
In October of last year, the City entered into a Project Development
Agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI), which itself was a precursor to an
Energy Performance Contract (EPC). The goals of the EPC include
improvements to the DPW facility and energy-saving improvements to that
facility and others throughout the City. JCI has spent the last 6 months or so
working with staff to narrow the scope of the work and prepare financials
associated with the contract.
Business Development Leader Chris Downs, Energy Solutions Development
Engineering Manager John Crawford, and Area General Manager Brad Estadt
of JCI presented more details on the EPC agreement, scope and financials.
B. Corridor Improvement Checklist Planning
Staff has created a Business Corridor Improvement Checklist that will assist
commercial corridors with making improvements without the need of a formal
corridor improvement plan.
