INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the design and development audit agreement from Schneider Electric for the chiller plant upgrades in an amount not to exceed $300,000.00, and County wide energy conservation opportunities using the Inter-local Purchasing System Contract No. 2032714; pursuant to Sections 271.101 and 271.102 Subchapter F. Cooperative Purchasing Program, Texas Local Government Code Contract. [Account #001-0109-6022 Professional Services]

Issue: The central chiller plant and cooling towers are approaching its end of service life as experienced on July 28, 2015 when the chillers went out and the A/C stopped working. Johnson Controls had a technician in town and that saved us two critical hours.

Solution: Design and install new high efficiency central plant along with a county wide comprehensive solution to help offset the cost of the chiller plant and other equipment that is at its end of service life.

Result: Daily operations with less down time, contingency plan, alternate chiller back up plan, multiple building and multiple chillers connected to system providing improved redundancy, and improved operational efficiency, cost of maintenance and operations is reduced, comfort enhanced, provide options for county wide utility savings to offset a portion of the cost.
