This ordinance accepts a small dollar grant in the form of a purchase order from the
Colorado Energy Office in the amount of $120,000.00 for the purpose acquiring the
services of an energy coordinator. This award requires the City of Pueblo to match
$6,779.00 which will be provided by transfer from the 2025 Public Works Department
Operating Budget (10140103 51060). The grant award allocated to the project and the
City's match amount will total $126,779.00, which will be budgeted and appropriated into
Project Account CI2509 - Public Works Energy Coordinator.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance approves the acceptance of funds in the amount of $120,000.00 from
the Colorado Energy Office for the purpose of acquiring the services of an energy
coordinator to assist the Public Works Department with various energy-related
work. Currently, Public Works is executing an Energy Performance Contract which will
identify energy-saving opportunities through the performance of an investment-grade
audit which may serve as the baseline for seeking funding for future capital projects to
upgrade certain facility systems, components, and equipment using cost savings from
energy consumption reductions to fund those upgrades. Public Works is also
implementing a new software system to collect and analyze energy consumption data
on City-owned facilities. This software ("Energy Manager") will facilitate monitoring of
energy consumption, analysis of energy trends for each building/meter, and identification
of future energy-saving opportunities. Through this grant, the Energy Coordinator will be
able to assist the Department with these efforts and other energy-related matters over
the next 12-18 months.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Project Account CI2509 will be established and funds totaling $126,779.00 are budgeted
and appropriated for the project. The amount of $120,000.00 shall be from a small dollar
grant in the form of a purchase order from the Colorado Energy Office. The City's
required match amount of $6,779.00 shall be transferred into Project Account CI509 from
the 2025 Public Works Department Operating Budget (10140103 51060).
