APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ARCHITECTURAL ENERGY CORPORATION FOR FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PHOTOVOL TAlC POWER SYSTEM FOR LIBRARY BUILDING Architectural Energy Corporation is the company that was selected through the City's RFP process for completing the commissioning of the HV AC system for the new library building. The company is based in Boulder and has international experience studying and designing energy efficiency and alternative energy generation systems, and has worked with Xcel Energy's rebate program. AEC proposes to conduct a three-part feasibility study to evaluate the possibility of integrating a photovoltaic power system using the roof of the new library building. This project could be completed after construction of the library has been completed, and would require only one small roof penetration, preserving the integrity of the roof, which was a major goal for the construction project. The study would include evaluating financial incentives available for the system as part of Phase 1 of the study. Cost for the entire study would be $15,295.00, and each phase would be approved separately. If Council desires to pursue installation of a photovoltaic system on the new library building, Staff recommended authorization of Phase 1, the feasibility study in the amount of $4,120.00, with the project manager to present the results of that study to the City Council upon completion. Mayor Sisk requested public comment.
