1. Strategic Energy Management Training/Implementation a. Corporate and site-level energy teams check-in calls: Monthly meetings with the energy teams to discuss progress on Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs), identify and eliminate barriers to success, and support progress towards energy efficiency goals. Corporate energy team check-in calls will also discuss challenges and successes of the overall Strategic Energy Management (SEM) engagement. b. The focus of these efforts should primarily be on operational/behavior/programming (low- cost/nocost) energy efficiency opportunities and not on capital cost/retrofit projects. Any proposed and/or implemented energy efficiency measures are expected to yield energy savings (kW and kWh) in year one (1) of implementation. c. Consultant shall begin this work by assisting SAWS in the creation of specified energy teams. Because this work will focus on behavior/operations/programming, members of these energy teams will be the key staff responsible for implementing ECMs. Consultant shall work closely with these energy teams throughout the duration of the project. d. Consultant shall reserve meetings/time for at least one (1) kickoff meeting, monthly progress calls with SAWS Office of Energy Management (OEM), quarterly progress reports, annual reports, a year end meeting, and miscellaneous ad hoc meetings with OEM or other SAWS staff. e. Note that a large portion of SAWS’ operations are controlled with automated programming rather than manual operation. The above work should focus more on re-programming than adjustment of manual operations. Evaluation and adjustment of automation to optimize energy usage shall replace some of the hands-on operating training efforts. A. Identify potential future ECMs i. Consultant shall be responsible for recommending capital cost retrofit type energy efficiency measures that are identified during energy analysis, staff workshops, etc. ii. Proposed ECMs should include an American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Level 1 effort of cost-benefit analysisincludingat a minimum: project summary, estimated energy savings, estimated costs (including engineering, materials, and labor), any estimated O&M savings, and Return on Investment (ROI). 2. General energy consulting services as mutually agreed upon and described on a per work order basis. The parties shall use this agreement for multiple statements of work. Statements of work will be written documents setting forth at a minimum: a. A complete, sufficiently detailed description of the types of services to be rendered. b. The applicable billing rates for the services to be rendered (service fees). c. Any additional terms and conditions to which the parties shall agree. d. The parties agree if changes to the statement(s) of work are deemed necessary the following will take place: i. Before performing any work associated with any such change, a written change order shall set forth the necessary revisions to the statement(s) of work, and the parties, shall agree in writing that such work constitutes a change from the original statement of work, as amended, and that they further agree to the change provisions set forth in the change order. ii. Each change order shall be numbered serially and executed by SAWS. e. SAWS staff will review the status of the services, statement(s) of work, change orders, invoices, and estimates as may be required. A written status report will be produced by SAWS staff regarding the review. 3. Task 3: Future Support Services SAWS may consider expanding the scope of services to assist with future implementation and support of the energy program on mutually agreeable terms, subject to the approval of the SAWS Board of Trustees, if applicable.
