Preliminary Report D. Meeting to Review Preliminary Findings E, Minor revisions of the Report Draft F. Copy, binding and mailing of the FINAL Report G. Meeting with the City to Present Final Report and Recommendations Phase IIh Implementation Options There are two basic options to implement the results of Phases I and II. The first option is the traditional plan/specification preparation and public bid. The second option would in- volve the request for proposals from performance contracting organizations. If an energy savings situation exists at the Sanford City Hall, the performance contractors would provide their own or borrowed capital, implement the projects, and share in the energy savings from the installed project with the City. This approach would require no up front capital from the City and the savings would be guaranteed by the performance contractor. BGA is very experienced with the performance contracting business and is currently in- volved in such projects with the Florida Dept. of Corrections and the Florida State University System. To prepare for the possibility of a performance contracting option, BGA proposes that a short report be developed discussing some alternative methods of financing the project. A fee quote is provided in Attachment A. As part of its agreement with the City of Sanford, Besek, Gibson and Associates, Inc. agrees that: 1. Three copies of the final reports will be delivered to the City of Sanford and the necessary number of copies of the studies will be provided to the Florida Energy Office. 2.
