../' ~'~~~~~ The purpose of the final engineering stage of the process is numerous and includes but is not limited to the following items: • Confirmation and analysis of Energy Conservation Measures (ECM'S) and/or Facility Improvement Measures (FIM'S) be employed and implemented on the project. • Comprehensive analysis of facility operations to confirm how the sites operate and design the proper Energy Conservation Methods to assist in reducing the use of energy at these sites. • Perform computer simulations or "Model" of facility operation to assess current conditions with respect to utility use and predict future utility use after Energy Conservation Measures has been implemented. • Perform Pre-measurements and equipment use "logging" for the purpose of assessing current operating parameters. • Perform a thorough cost benefit analysis on each Energy Conservation Measure and each Facility Improvement Measure to assure their economic viability. • Confirmation and analysis of historic Energy Usage at the sites referenced above. • Confirmation and analysis of Southern California Edison (SCE) Rate Structures currently used at City Facilities. • Utility Bill analysis for potential charge discrepancies as they relate to rates used by SCE. • Review various "Rebate" or "Incentive" programs offered by the local utilities serving the City of Santa Ana and determine which type of "incentive" program would be the most beneficial to the project which will be implemented and to the City of Santa Ana. • Assist City Staff in arranging financing for the project, which will include sharing information with potential lenders with regards to reduction of utility expenditures and anticipated utility reduction. • Comprehensive review of entire project by Siemens Building Technologies Corporate Engineering Staff to determine project viability and assess Siemens Building Technologies fiduciary risk due to performance guarantee.
