The City submits three energy improvement projects for the Elk River Ice Arena fox <br />consideration. Those projects included; lighting improvements, boiler replacements, and Low E-ceiling. <br />Our total grant request was $87,065. On March 29, 2010, we received notification that our total grant <br />request will be funded. Subsequently, on May 24, 2010, we received a fully executed grant request and are <br />able to move forward to start the projects and receive grant reimbursements. <br />Staff obtained quotes for installing a low emissivity ceiling in the ice rink. The low emissivity ceiling is <br />made of materials that have a very low potential to transfer radiant energy. The low emissivity ceiling will <br />save approximately 144,319 watts/year with a simple payback of 4.89 years. <br />The following quotes have been obtained. <br />Vendor Amount <br />Rink Management Solutions $68,800.00 <br />R&R Specialties $68,613.75 <br />Financial Impact <br />The proposed project grant budget is $62,700 which is made up of the grant, ticket surcharge, and energy <br />rebate funds. If the project costs go over the grant budget we would propose that the difference is made <br />up from the funds budgeted from the roof replacement that ended up only being a maintenance repair. <br />Funds were budgeted in the liquor fund for that roof replacement. <br />Attachments <br />None <br />C:\Users\jmiller\AppData\Local\Miaosoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\OLKE8DB\Low emissivity ceiling council request.doc <br />
