Background/Discussion
On December 14, 2009, the Minnesota Department of Commerce Office of Energy Security (OES)
requested proposals from Minnesota local units of government for the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Grant (EECBG) funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009
(ARRA). The City submits three energy improvement projects for the Elk River Ice Arena for
consideration. Those projects included; lighting improvements, boiler replacements, and Low E-ceiling.
Our total grant request was $87,065. On March 29, 2010, we received notification that our total grant
request will be funded. Subsequently, on May 24, 2010, we received a fully executed grant request and are
able to move forward to start the projects and receive grant reimbursements.
Staff obtained quotes for replacing two existing boilers with high efficiency boilers. The boiler
replacements will save approximately 4,019 therms/year with a simple payback of 4.55 years.
The following quotes have been obtained.
Vendor Amount
Mechanical, LLC $21,700.00
Assured Heating / A/C $20,730.00
Financial Impact
The proposed project grant budget is $22,500 which is made up of the grant, ticket surcharge, and energy
rebate funds.
