AGREEMENT FOR ENERGY
, /09
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT TOP VALU I
DATE: APRIL 10, 2015
AND II, IN THE AMOUNT OF $34,852
Background
The facilities maintenance supervisor has identified significant energy savings that are available
at the Top Valu I and II liquor stores, if certain equipment upgrades were implemented. These
two stores currently spend a combined total of approximately $70,000 per year for electricity and
natural gas.
Analysis
An independent study by Xcel Energy, and analysis by the proposed equipment vendor,
GreenWize Energy Solutions, both indicate that the recommended upgrades would likely reduce
annual energy costs by approximately $30,000 per year. Most of this savings would come from
improvements to the refrigeration systems at these stores. For example, the thermostats that
currently control the refrigeration systems are not programmable. The amount of actual savings
will, of course, vary from year -to -year depending on fluctuations in weather, customer counts,
and timing of equipment repair.
In addition to improving the energy efficiency of the stores' refrigeration and HVAC systems,
the recommended upgrades provide the added benefit of web -based remote control and
monitoring. This is similar to the current capability at the public safety building, and the
upcoming capability at the new library. The facilities maintenance supervisor can check or
change the operation of the systems at these buildings from his office computer, or from
anywhere he can access the internet.
The upfront cost of the recommended improvements is $34,852. After the improvements are
installed, Xcel Energy will provide rebates to the City of approximately $17,000; which is nearly
half the cost of the system. The payback period for these improvements, after rebates, is just
under seven months. This means that amounts budgeted for 2015 electricity and gas could
instead be spent to obtain these permanent improvements without increasing the 2015 budget.
The attached information from Xcel and GreenWize provides a significant amount of detail on
the recommended upgrades. Note however, that certain items included in the Xcel study report
are not included in the vendor proposal because city staff judges that the payback period for
those items, such as certain lighting upgrades, is too long to be worth the cost of upgrading at
this time.
Lastly, city staff obtained an alternate vendor quote from our established vendor for Delta
Controls, the similar system used at the public safety building. That alternate quote was almost
three times the cost of the GreenWize proposal, apparently due to the specialized nature of
sourcing components for refrigeration systems as opposed to general HVAC components.

roads.

Ave. Planner Holmbeck reported that no other inquiries were received following the Planning &
Zoning meeting.

will be parked for a longer period of time.

Please include this email in the contract packet for the GreenWize Purchase Agreement. Based on my research, the MN
Cooperative Purchase Venture does not offer the equipment included in the GreenWize Purchase Agreement.
The MN CPV does have offer one energy management system, but that vendor contract is restricted for use by the Oak Park
Heights Prison only. In addition, that contract only contains HVAC controls. There are no refrigeration controls offered through

Energy Conservation Opportunity Analysis
Opportunity 1: Install Anti -Sweat Heater Controls on (37) Doors
Doors for display case coolers and freezers contain electric heaters, known as Anti -Sweat Heaters. The heaters are
installed to prevent condensation on the display case. These heaters typically operate 24 hrs /day, 7 days per week
However, anti -sweat heaters are really only needed when the dew point temperature increases above the exterior
temperature of the door. Anti -sweat heater controls can be installed to turn the heaters off when the dew point
temperature is below the threshold temperature for condensation. Installation of controls can result in significant
savings due to a reduction in electric resistance heating, and a reduction in display case cooling. Anti -sweat Heater
controls cost approximately $85 each. One control can be used to control several heaters on similar coolers.
Opportunity 2: Install Evaporator Fan Motor Controls to Control (48) Motors
To take full advantage of the new Electrocially Commutated Motors (ECM's) that we recommend in this report, it is
recommended to also add EC Motor controls. These controls control the fan speed when refridgerant is not flowing
through the evaporator coil. This allows for greater energy savings as the ECM driven fans use a fraction of the energy
when operating at a lower speed.
Opportunity 3: Replace (48) Evaporator Fan Motors with Electronically Commutated Motors
Standard fan motors commonly used in refrigeration equipment are major energy wasters. They run inefficiently and
generate excess heat, causing the refrigeration system to work harder and use more energy. An Electrically Commutated
Motor (ECM) is a DC motor designed for evaporators in walk in coolers and freezers. The DC motor runs up to 40% more
efficiently than a shaded pole motor and generates less heat resulting in refrigeration savings. Overall, ECMs typically
save up to 65% more than your current system. ECMs do however, cost about twice as much as a regular shaded pole
Motor, but often require less maintenance and replacement. Often larger electrical consumers are on a demand based
rate so the ECM's save on both the consumption and demand charges. Given the relatively new age of the evaporator
units in the walk -in cooler, it is likely that the existing evaporator fan motors are Partially Split Commutated motors,
which should qualify for a custom rebate from Xcel Energy to incentivize the replacement to an Electronically
Commutated Motors.
Opportunity 4: Retrofit (11) Architectural Wall Light Fixtures with LED lamps
LED fixtures are a better alternative to the HID fixtures currently used at your facility. Equivalent light output LED
models have become a viable option for exterior lighting. Compared to HID fixtures; LEDs require about 1/4 the power,
last up to 5 times longer, and maintain lighting levels over the life of the fixture. Upgrading HID fixtures to LED fixtures
requires either retrofitting equipment or purchasing an entirely new fixture. While this will lead to a much greater initial
capital investment, the power savings are much more substantial than the more modest pulse start metal halide upgrade.
Xcel Energy offers a $100 rebate for every LED upgrade from HID wallpack. In addition, Xcel Energy may offer a custom
rebate for other exterior retrofits. Please speak to your account manager or representative to see if this project qualifies.
Opportunity 5: Replace (82) Store Floor Fluorescent Fixtures with 2'x2' LED Troffers
During the onsite energy assessment it was noted that there is interest in investigating the energy savings from replacing
the existing CFL can lights and florescent fixtures throughout the facility with 2'x2' LED troffers. Besides the energy
savings, there would also be repair and maintenance savings/ benefits, as LED's have a long lifecycle and are known to
be greatly reliable.
Opportunities for Future Investigation
Roof Top Units/ Refrigeration Condensing Units
Vast improvements in this type of equipment have been made, especially on the cooling side, in the past 15 years. If
maintenance is required on any of these units, you may want to consider replacement. When looking at buying new
equipment, be sure to compare the cost difference between the standard equipment and the high efficiency equipment In
most cases, the high efficiency equipment is a good financial investment.
Install an Instantaneous Water Heater
Very little hot water is used in the facility. Consider replacing /supplementing the hot water heater with an instantaneous
heating unit located beneath the sinks in the restroom areas. This has the additional advantage of saving water because not
as much water is run waiting for it to get hot.
Occupancy Sensors
You may want to install Occupancy Sensors to automatically turn lights off in areas such as restrooms, storage rooms, or
other rooms where lights could get left on. Occupancy sensors limit the amount of time the lights in each room are left on
while unoccupied. Sensors can be purchased fairly inexpensively, for roughly $20 -$100 each depending on type and style.
The savings for installing these sensors varies greatly depending on the quantity of fixtures controlled as well as the
amount of human traffic through the room. The typical payback for a break room and restroom installation is under two
years.
Set Program on Thermostat
Verify that your programmable thermostat is setting the temperature back on a regular schedule (and not constantly on
"hold "), a rule of thumb for the savings is one percent per one degree during an eight hour interval. Thus, a thermostat
which sets back from 68 to 60 degrees for eight hours every night should save approximately 8 percent of the furnace's fuel
cost. Setting back from 68 to 62 for 8 hours every night would save 6 percent and so on. Rebates are available for
programmable thermostats and can be found in the Heating and Cooling Equipment Program brochure.
Replace Fluorescent, Incandescent or Halogen Lamps with LEDs
Incandescent and halogen lamps are very inefficient. Most commonly, these lamps are used in track lighting, recessed cans,
and display lighting. Replacing incandescent and halogen lamps with LEDs will save energy and money. There are also
energy savings to be achieved through replacing florescent lamps and fixtures with LED. There may even be custom
rebates available from Xcel Energy to incentivize the replacement to LED. Check with your Xcel Energy Account
Representative to find out more.

Energy Conservation Opportunity Analysis
Opportunity 1: Install Anti -Sweat Heater Controls on (37) Case Doors
Doors for display case coolers and freezers contain electric heaters, known as Anti -Sweat Heaters. The heaters are
installed to prevent condensation on the display case. These heaters typically operate 24 hrs /day, 7 days per week.
However, anti -sweat heaters are really only needed when the dew point temperature increases above the exterior
temperature of the door. Anti -sweat heater controls can be installed to turn the heaters off when the dew point
temperature is below the threshold temperature for condensation. Installation of controls can result in significant
savings due to a reduction in electric resistance heating, and a reduction in display case cooling. Anti -sweat Heater
controls cost approximately $85 each. One control can be used to control several heaters on similar coolers.
Opportunity 2: Install Evaporator Fan Motor Controls to Control (48) Motors
To take full advantage of the new Electrocially Commutated Motors (ECM's) that we recommend in this report, it is
recommended to also add EC Motor controls. These controls control the fan speed when refridgerant is not flowing
through the evaporator coil. This allows for greater energy savings as the ECM driven fans use a fraction of the energy
when operating at a lower speed.
Opportunity 3: Replace (48) Evaporator Fan Motors with Electronically Commutated Motors
Standard fan motors commonly used in refrigeration equipment are major energy wasters. They run inefficiently and
generate excess heat, causing the refrigeration system to work harder and use more energy. An Electrically Commutated
Motor (ECM) is a DC motor designed for evaporators in walk in coolers and freezers. The DC motor runs up to 40% more
efficiently than a shaded pole motor and generates less heat resulting in refrigeration savings. Overall, ECMs typically
save up to 65% more than your current system. ECMs do however, cost about twice as much as a regular shaded pole
Motor, but often require less maintenance and replacement. Often larger electrical consumers are on a demand based
rate so the ECM's save on both the consumption and demand charges. Given the relatively new age of the evaporator
units in the walk -in cooler, it is likely that the existing evaporator fan motors are Partially Split Commutated motors,
which should qualify for a custom rebate from Xcel Energy to incentivize the replacement to an Electronically
Commutated Motors.
Opportunity 4: Replace Store Floor Fluorescent Recessed Can and Linear Fixtures with 2'x2'
LED Troffers
During the onsite energy assessment it was noted that there is interest in investigating the energy savings from replacing
the existing CFL can lights and florescent lighting throughout the facility with 2'x2' LED troffers. Besides the energy
savings, there would also be repair and maintenance savings/ benefits, as LED's have a long lifecycle and are known to
be greatly reliable.
Opportunity 5: Retrofit (11) Architectural Wall Light Fixtures with LED Lamps
LED fixtures are a better alternative to the HID fixtures currently used at your facility. Equivalent light output LED
models have become a viable option for exterior lighting. Compared to HID fixtures; LEDs require about 1/4 the power,
last up to 5 times longer, and maintain lighting levels over the life of the fixture. Upgrading HID fixtures to LED fixtures
requires either retrofitting equipment or purchasing an entirely new fixture. While this will lead to a much greater initial
capital investment, the power savings are much more substantial than the more modest pulse start metal halide upgrade.
Xcel Energy offers a $100 rebate for every LED upgrade from HID wallpack. In addition, Xcel Energy may offer a custom
rebate for other exterior retrofits. Please speak to your account manager or representative to see if this project qualifies.
Opportunities for Future Investigation
Replace Florescent, Incandescent or Halogen Lamps with LEDs
Incandescent and halogen lamps are very inefficient. Most commonly, these lamps are used in track lighting, recessed cans,
and display lighting. Replacing incandescent and halogen lamps with LEDs will save energy and money. There are also
energy savings to be achieved through replacing florescent lamps and fixtures with LED. There may even be custom
rebates available from Xcel Energy to incentivize the replacement to LED. Check with your Xcel Energy Account
Representative to find out more.
Install an Instantaneous Water Heater
Very little hot water is used in the facility. Consider replacing /supplementing the hot water heater with an instantaneous
heating unit located beneath the sinks in the restroom areas. This has the additional advantage of saving water because not
as much water is run waiting for it to get hot.
Roof Top Units/ Refrigeration Condensing Units
Vast improvements in this type of equipment have been made, especially on the cooling side, in the past 15 years. If
maintenance is required on any of these units, you may want to consider replacement. When looking at buying new
equipment, be sure to compare the cost difference between the standard equipment and the high efficiency equipment. In
most cases, the high efficiency equipment is a good financial investment.
Occupancy Sensors
You may want to install Occupancy Sensors to automatically turn lights off in areas such as restrooms, storage rooms, or
other rooms where lights could get left on. Occupancy sensors limit the amount of time the lights in each room are left on
while unoccupied. Sensors can be purchased fairly inexpensively, for roughly $20 -$100 each depending on type and style.
The savings for installing these sensors varies greatly depending on the quantity of fixtures controlled as well as the
amount of human traffic through the room. The typical payback for a break room and restroom installation is under two
years.
Verify Program Set on Thermostat
When a programmable thermostat is setting the temperature back on a regular schedule (and not constantly on "hold "), a
rule of thumb for the savings is one percent per one degree during an eight hour interval. Thus, a thermostat which sets
back from 68 to 60 degrees for eight hours every night should save approximately 8 percent of the furnace's fuel cost.
Setting back from 68 to 62 for 8 hours every night would save 6 percent and so on. Rebates are available for programmable
thermostats and can be found in the Heating and Cooling Equipment Program brochure.

Dear Eric,
collaborative solutions. unmatched training.
Top Valu Liquors — Cit� of Columbia Heights
Store ##1, 50t and Central
GOAL: Building Automation System
Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with a proposal for a Building Automation System (BAS),
We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and continue our partnership together.
During our discussions with you about the BAS, you said you would like to accomplish the following:
• Reduce energy consumption by adding controls to cooler door heaters and evaporator fans.
• Automate the HVACR system by adding a BAS.
• Add lighting controls to the BAS to facilitate scheduling.
Integrate the stores to the existing, city -owned Delta Controls BAS.
We believe our proposal, further detailed below, will automate the heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
refrigeration and lighting and accomplish the following items:
Energy savings by controlling and scheduling all HVACR equipment
• Cooler door heaters will only be activated when condensation is determined to occur
• Cooler evaporator fans will run at high speed when the refrigeration loop is activated and will run
at low speed when the refrigeration loop is deactivated.
• All HVACR and lighting will be controlled by networked BACnet controllers which will allow each
piece of equipment to be viewed and accessed through the BAS.
Thank you again for the opportunity to provide a proposal for this work. I look forward to hearing from
you.
Sincerely,
TOM JOHNSON

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.
Future developments. The IRS has created a page on IRS.gov for information
about Form W -9, at www.irs.gov /w9. Information about any future developments
affecting Form W -9 (such as legislation enacted after we release it) will be posted
on that page.
Purpose of Form
A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your
correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to
you, payments made to you in settlement of payment card and third party network
transactions, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or
abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made
to an IRA.
Use Form W -9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to
provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when
applicable, to:
1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number
to be issued),
2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or
3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If
applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of
any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the
withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and
4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are
exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct.
Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form
W -9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially
similar to this Form W -9.
Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S.
person if you are:
• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the
United States or under the laws of the United States,
• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701 -7).
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in
the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section
1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from
such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W -9 has not been received,
the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a
foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a
U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the
United States, provide Form W -9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status
and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.
Cat. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 8 -2013)
