Authorize the Mayor to Sign an Interagency Agreement with the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services for Energy Efficiency Services
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City’s Capital Improvement Program budget includes multiple energy efficiency upgrade projects at City facilities. The City intends to engage with the Washington State Department of Enterprises Services (DES) for energy savings performance contracting to complete these projects.
To obtain energy savings performance contracting services, Redmond must enter into an Interagency Agreement (IAA) with DES. The IAA is drafted pursuant to Chapter 39.34 RCW, which allows the DES Energy Program to provide the experience and expertise for quality assurance, project negotiation, overall project management, and monitoring and verification procedures.
