Special Bd. of Aldermen — 08/06/2019 Page 10
As on a previous slide that Dan showed, there is really some long term warranties for many of these products;
25, 30 years and a really long commercial life. Well that’s only helpful if that company is around to service that
warranty. So we are very serious in the products that we recommended because ultimately we, ReVision
Energy, are standing behind it. The other advantage we have is we run our own, we call it the Operations &
Maintenance Division so | have a team of 9 Master Electricians who go around and maintain our 8,000 systems
that we have been building for over 14 years. That also gives us some great insight into what does go wrong
with these systems over 10, 15, 20 years so we can then integrate that knowledge into both our component
choices and new system design engineering to try and solve the problems that we are identifying in older
systems. Sorry | couldn’t do that in word.
Mr. Weeks Cheers. We've thrown a lot of info on you in terms of design and engineering. This final slide is a
quick window into the process that our team goes through. Do you want to wrap it up?
Mr. Hasselbeck Yeah so frankly the construction is the easiest part of this project. For the Fire Station | think
once we actually started construction we would be in and out of there in roughly 3 weeks; between 3 and 4
weeks on the other building there. So the bulk of the work that we are doing is right now; the finalizing our
engineering and design, working with the utility on what is called the Interconnection Application. That makes
sure we don’t run into any of those net metering issues. So we do all that stuff. Our structural engineering to
confirm that the buildings are sufficient capacity wise; coordinating with the roofing manufacturers making sure
that warranty gets maintained; procurement you know it is, have you heard about these tariffs? That has made
my life very, very difficult. It is very difficult, but that’s a different meeting. The procurement is another piece that
we have to start very early. So basically the bulk of our work is in those three big orange lines that you see and
then we kind of have anticipated roughly 3 to 5 weeks of actual physical construction once we start. So we are
quite anxious to get moving on these projects in the near term. We have already kind of in a gesture of good
faith we have started the Interconnection Application process. We have started the structural review process
and | have, you know, our vendors you know anxiously awaiting purchase orders for this equipment so we can
kind of meet these construction time lines which actually provide a financial benefit if we get it done and
operational in 2019 which | think you can get into.
Mr. Weeks | think that gives you quite a bit of information but we are happy to take questions regarding the
design and engineering and then we can get into the finances. Yes sir, we can perhaps work our way around.
President Wilshire
| am going to call on people; | am going to start over here with Alderman Clemons. Thank you.
Alderman Clemons
Just a question construction wise can you do this up to when the snow flies or what is your limitation?
Mr. Hasselbeck So yes is the short answer and yes for a variety of reasons. One it is actually really important
for us as a business to provide 12 months employment to all of our co-owners. So we work right through the
winter. What gets challenging once the snow flies is the ballasted flat roofs. So if we were getting close to the
snow season | would make sure that we built that building first and then we would move to the Lake Street Fire
Station second.
