SUMMARY STATEMENT:
SPF Water Engineers is completing the engineering design for the installation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) for the Water Treatment Department’s Legacy Beach Pump Station as identified
in the Water System Master Plan. This project will allow for improved control and adjustment of intake flows from the pump station to the water treatment plant. Additionally, significant
energy saving is expected.
As part of their design work, SPF is also completing an energy audit required for the City to participate in Idaho Power’s Energy Efficiency Audit program. This grant program awards
applicant’s money based on the amount of energy saved (annually) and/or up to 70% of the cost of improvements necessary to decrease energy consumption. The VFD installation project
is anticipated to cost approximately $50,000 to complete.
By authorizing staff to prepare and submit the audit application (attached), SPF can complete their energy audit and finalize supporting documentation submittal to Idaho Power. The VFD
installation is scheduled for this Fall/Winter 2018.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize staff to finalize Idaho Power’s Commercial and Industry Energy Efficiency Audit Application and program documentation and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
