4. Implementation and operational costs associated with each measure are then determined.
Estimated construction costs are compiled by the Energy Engineer and Operations Manager.
5. Feasibility of ECM’s (cost vs. savings) is then examined by the Energy Engineer. A draft list of
feasible ECM’s are developed based on the financials.
6. A joint meeting between Siemens and City staff will then be scheduled for mutual development
of the final list of ECM’s for proposed implementation. All stakeholders will be invited to this
meeting(s). This step may include the installation of test fixtures.
7. Based on the results of the meeting, an audit report is submitted to the City for approval to
reflect the mutually agreed upon final list of ECM’s to be funded.
Final audit reports generally include the following:
1. Description of Existing System (Baseline);
Description of Proposed System;
Calculations of Energy Savings, Cost, and Resulting Simple Payback;
Description of Scope of Work;
Commissioning Plan; and
Measurement and Verification Plan (applicable only to performance contracts).

The Siemens-CDM Smith
team believes that GIS : : Foe. 8
mapping is a critical oo pat $
element of the audit phase \e
in order to 1) reconcile the *e
utility billing inventory : Pot
which does not contain any ye 4
X/Y coordinate data, 2) 4610 dig iy
create a tool for tracking
the audit, 3) to expedite :
installations by clearly °
displaying fixtures 1 T ee
converted/not converted,
and 4) to provide the :
customer with a future —_
asset management tool at the end of the project. We have used GIS mapping in all of our most recent
projects and the City of Manchester, for example, would report that GIS mapping has been a critical
component to the successful execution of the project. As a result of these experiences and positive
customer feedback, we have proposed a GIS audit for this project.

The Siemens-CDM Smith team will staff our audit teams accordingly to accurately complete the work in
the timeframe that the City requires. To provide a range from comparable large LED retrofit projects we
have completed, the City of New Bedford GIS audit (9,000 fixtures) was audited in less than one month
and the Cape Light Compact GIS audit (16,000+ fixtures) took approximately four months. Each project
utilized a different number of audit teams to meet our customer-specified deadline.
