Arizona Public Service Energy Services Company, Inc. (APSES) Technical Energy Audit

Background Information

On April 15, 2011, Professional Agreement No. 6557.102-12-2010 between Gila County and Arizona Public Service Energy Services Company, Inc. (APSES) was approved by the Board of Supervisors. This agreement allowed APSES to perform a technical energy audit of Gila County for period of one year. After the audit was completed, APSES agreed to provide an Energy Audit Report. The Energy Audit Report dated July 16, 2012, was presented and discussed with the Board of Supervisors.

Due to State mandated changes, the entire study had to be changed; therefore, a revised report was required dated February 2013.

Evaluation

Phases 1 through 3 of the audit consisted of the collection of data, inspection of facilities, establishment of base year energy consumption, the performance of a financial analysis of energy conservation measures and the preparation of the detailed Energy Audit Report.

The 4th and final phase will be the design and installation of energy conservation measures described and recommended in the Energy Audit Report. If the County chooses to move forward with this phase, the parties shall execute a construction agreement.

If the County issues the Notice to Proceed in sixty (60) calendar days from the receipt of the audit, any costs incurred for the audit will be included in the implementation costs of the energy conservation measures. If the County decides not to proceed with the final phase of the project, the County shall pay APSES $17,690 for the energy audit.

Conclusion

The revised Energy Audit Report dated February 2013, is 90% complete and was received in February 2013.

Recommendation

The Public Works Facilities and Land Management Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors review the revised APSES Energy Audit Report and determine whether or not to move forward with the final phase of the audit.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion regarding the 4th and final phase of Arizona Public Service Energy Services Company, Inc.'s (APSES) Energy Audit Report, which is the design and installation of energy conservation measures as described and recommended by APSES in the Energy Audit Report. (Steve Stratton)
