approximately $27,000. She stated that the solution would focus on the municipal center, <br />municipal ramp, and fire station #1 and reviewed some of the recommendations identified in the <br />preliminary analysis which could provide a cost savings to the City. She stated that the intent is <br />to minimize the maintenance and operational duties to extend the lifespan of the equipment and <br />make the buildings more efficient. She stated that the next phase would be to coauthor the scope <br />of work with the City and reviewed some of the cost estimates and potential savings and rebates. <br />She stated that the contract would include a guaranteed maximum cost for the City that would <br />not change, which means that the City would not pay for any potential change orders. <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked if Siemens funds the upfront cost. <br />Ms. Malwitz replied that Siemens can do that, but some municipalities choose to use capital <br />improvement funds to pay for the project and then pay that back with the cost savings that it <br />receives each year. She reviewed three potential scenarios: Siemens Conservative, Siemens <br />Modest, and self -implement over time. She explained that they are not replacing all of the <br />equipment, but fine tuning the equipment and providing an "oil change" to reach peak <br />efficiencies. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would like more time to discuss this. <br />Councilmember Shryock agreed that it would be helpful to have more time to digest this <br />information. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that a large rebate number was mentioned, noting that $300,000 is <br />very different than $30,000. <br />Ms. Malwitz stated that the process would find the best financial situation that works for the <br />City. She stated that the project could pay for itself in less than 15 years, depending on the <br />different elements. She stated that this would be a low risk project, financially, that would <br />accomplish many of the City' s goals. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that this can be brought back to a future agenda with additional <br />financial details for the Council. <br />3.
