  1. update from Paul Foote

    Associated Project(s): 
    Steam Traps/Boilers/Pipe Insulation

    Steam traps are not being included in this grant application.  Roger Bensyl said that the tracking of the part numbers and serial numbers for the steam traps is impractical to meet the requirements for this DCEO grant.  This was regarding steam traps completed in the past, but the discussion about potentially getting grant funding for steam traps in the future is still needed.

    Paul has a spreadsheet of the pipe insulation work completed from the past, through sometime in FY14.  Brian Kattamay (sp?) said we can submit the efficiency savings information to him starting in June 2014.  Brian will do the calculations and let us know how this can be possibly funded through the FY15 grant program.  Paul will send that information to Brian on June 2.

    Paul will also talk to Roger about integrating the tracking system for the grant money into the operational system.

    Subject: RE: Boiler tune up grant - proposal and Tom Coe conversation

    Karl,

    In response to the e-mail referencing Tom Coe and contacting the ERC, Brian Katamay

    I had a phone conversation with Brian (Jan16th), indicating our desire to apply for approx. $180,000 In grant rebates and explained the 12’, 13’ and 14’ year totals and referenced Mr. Coe had suggested we talk with Mr. Katamay about applying for all of them and the best way to do so.

    After discussing the numbers Brian said he first needs to see the breakdown of the numbers and his main concern was to see how it would fit into the ERP budget, he did not want to commit all of the funds to one place and was concerned about making sure it was split amongst multiple locations. I explained I could email the spreadsheet with the incentive totals, and he requested I complete the project costs column first then submit the spreadsheet to him for a review of the breakdown.

    I forwarded the spreadsheet upon completion (2/13/2014), and awaited Brians' response. 

    Today he responded and stated Ameren funds are no longer available and they are no longer taking aps for this year.

    In turn I asked about the setting aside of funds ahead of time, referencing our first conversation? Brian replied the process for this is preapproval, something he had not required in the original phone call.

    When asked what our options are now that weeks of work have been done, Brian said we have the technical work done and when the new year starts after May 31, 2014 we can visit the idea of including this work for 12’,13’and14’.
