Agenda 06/26/2012 Item #16E 76/26/2012 Item 16.E.7.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept and recognize a rebate received from Florida Power and Light (FP &L)
in the amount of $256,320 for the Chiller Replacement /Ice Storage Expansion project completed
with grant funds from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and authorize the necessary
budget amendment.
OBJECTIVE: To accept and recognize a rebate provided by FP &L in the amount of $256,320 to replace
malfunctioning thermal storage tanks in the Main Chiller plant as allowed within the terms of the EECBG
grant.
CONSIDERATIONS: On February 17, 2009, Congress passed the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and on March 26, 2009 the United States Department of Energy (DOE)
designated $3,036,000 for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) to Collier
County. The EECBG was accepted by the Board of County Commissioners on September 29, 2009.
The Facilities Department Energy Efficiency Retrofits Project was funded in the amount of $665,510 to
carry out several activities to provide internal cost/energy savings benefits to Collier County. One of the
activities replaced the oldest, least efficient chiller with a new high- efficiency model and added
automated flow measuring and control equipment to the chilled water system to increase thermal ice
storage capacity. This activity qualified for a FP &L incentive in the form of a rebate. On May 15, 2012,
an FP &L rebate was received in the amount of $256,320.
Pursuant DOE guidance, funds received from rebates must be added back to the recipient's EECBG grant
and are subject to the same limitations as the original grant money. The Facilities Department will use
these funds to replace malfunctioning thermal storage tanks in the Main Chiller plant which is within the
boundaries of the EECBG grant terms and conditions.
FICAL IMPACT: The chiller improvements have resulted in electric bill savings of $80,760 per year.
A budget amendment is required to recognize revenue in the amount of $256,320 within ARRA Grant
Match Fund (726), Project 33062.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office, does not
present a legal issue and only requires a majority vote for Board approval —SRT.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners accept and recognize the FP &L
rebate in the amount of $256,320 and authorize the necessary budget amendment.

Project Summary: (limit summary to space provided)
Collier County will utilize its EECBG formula funding to fund a mixture of lighting and electrical
improvements, mechanical improvements, renewable energy and planning initiatives.
Project Activity 1: Facilities Management Energy Efficiency Retrofits.
This activity involves six electrical and mechanical projects on the main government campus, which is
a 45 acre complex in the heart of Collier County. The campus includes the County courthouse,
administration buildings, the health department, the jail and a host of constitutional offices, all of
which draw significant power to operate. Improving the energy efficiency of the building systems
will also reduce the operating funds needed to operate these facilities.
Collier County uses the thermal energy of ice created at night during off -peak hours to cool the
buildings during daytime peak usage periods. This shifts the electrical load to off -peak hours, while
voiding higher price energy and demand charges imposed by utilities. An estimated $46,000 Florida
ower and Light rebate is received as an incentive for this project. The project proposed for EECBG
funding is to add 6 additional units to further enhance the already efficient system in place. The
energy savings for this project is estimated at 132,298 kWh per year, the expected CO2 reduction is 79
metric tons and the annual dollar savings is expected to be $11,113.
Related to this project is the replacement of a 22 year old chiller with a newer more efficient unit.
This will decrease the energy usage and maintenance while increasing capacity to meet Collier
County's growing demand. An estimated $12,000 Florida Power and Light rebate is received as an
incentive for this project. The energy savings for this project is estimated at 280,000 kWh per year,
the expected CO2 reduction is 167 metric tons and the annual dollar savings is expected to be
$24,000.
The three lighting and electrical projects include retrofitting 70 Code Blue Emergency Lamps from low
efficiency to high efficiency units, installing 1,000 occupancy sensors around campus and installation
of a central computer management software system to continuously monitor an office space to determine
if it is occupied. A non - occupied station will automatically be placed into a hibernation state
effectively reducing energy usage. The energy savings for these projects is estimated at 680,092 kWh
per year, the expected CO2 reduction is 407 metric tons and the annual dollar savings is expected to
be $57,127.
The last of the Facilities Management retrofit projects involves installation of solar panels on 17
existing utility carts that are used regularly on campus to maintain campus facilities. This project
will reduce electricity costs while extending the useful life of the batteries already installed on
the carts by 300. The added benefit of this project is the visibility to the public who visit the
government complex. The energy savings for this project is estimated at 6,404 kWh per year, the
expected CO2 reduction is 4 metric tons, and the annual dollar savings is expected to be $538.
The total estimated cost for these projects is $665,510 and Florida Power and Light rebates in the
amount of $58,000 will be received as an incentive, demonstrating the commitment of the local utility
provider to the reduction of energy use and greenhouse gas. This rebate will cover project
administration costs associated with contractual services for these 6 projects only and is not
included in the project estimates. Furthermore, county staff will provide the labor for installation
the occupancy sensors at -a leverage value of approximately $12,000.
Total energy savings are 1,098,784 kWh per year and 657 metric tons of CO2. The total project cost is
$665,510. Approximately $24,388 of the "administrative costs" associated with grant administration
are being allocated to this project for a total EECBG request for this project of $689,898.

Mr. Skip Camp
Collier County
Department of Facilities Management

Naples, Florida 34112
Dear Skip,
Congratulations on the successful completion of the Building 'W' Chiller Replacement /Ice Storage
Expansion Project I am pleased to advise you that all customer eligibility and equipment requirements of
FPL's Business Heating Ventilation and Air - Conditioning (Bus HVAC) Program have been satisfied. Based
upon the equipment replaced /installed, this project qualified for the enclosed incentive of $256,320.
As you know, one of the many challenges of managing a campus facility is keeping energy costs as low as
possible while maintaining a comfortable temperature for employees, patrons and equipment This project
further illustrates the commitment of Collier County Department of Facilities Management to do just
that ... Thermal Energy Storage allows you to lower your electric bill by storing energy at night - moving
heavier electric usage to off -peak hours when power rates are less expensive. In addition, the shifting of peak
electric load to off peak hours reduces the current and future growth of coincident peak demand on FPL's
system — helping us to avoid building additional power plants — and helping you to recognize additional
savings.
A 12 month comparison of billing data for this account shows;
• Average on -peak demand reduction of 19% (304 kW)
• Average total kwh consumption reduction of 3.72% (443,360 kwh)
• Total electric bill savings of 9.71 % which equates to $80,760 savings per year
The collaboration of your team led by Project Manager John Clements, along with the technical expertise of
Hernantha Ranatunge, and support of Paul Martin, Leon Hinkle and Tom Lepore, working closely with
FPL's HVAC Specialist, Richard Brooks, helped to maximize the energy savings and Business HVAC
Program incentive. On behalf of FPL, thank you and the project team, not only for your participation, but
also for your forward - thinking approach to energy efficiency. Projects such as this have long - lasting positive
impacts on our region environmentally and on the County financially.
Looking forward to working with you to address your energy needs and support you in your efforts to ensure
the ongoing success of your operations.
Sincerely,
Kate Donofrio
Governmental Account Manager
