ENERGY GROUP
January 27,2022
Stephen E.Foster
Facilities Director
Town of North over
384 Osgood St.
North Andover, MA 01845
Steve,
As you have requested,Peregrine has updated and revised our original proposal to the Town of
North Andover dated May 27,2021 to help the Town develop,evaluate and prioritize various energy
infrastructure-related projects in municipal and school buildings that would be suitable for funding
by the recent Columbia Gas settlement,AKA the Merrimack Valley Recovery Fund.
This revision reflects our meeting and discussion on January 25,2022 with you,Laurie Burz1aff,
Elizabeth Mahony of the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General(AGO),and Neal of of the
Department of Energy Resources(DOER).The goal of that meeting was to determine how Town of
North Andover's Merrimack Valley Recovery Fund allotment might be used by the Town to further
the Commonwealth's goals for reduction of greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions,electrification,and
clean energy,while also addressing the Town's is for energy efficiency Improvement,operating
cost reductions, and increased occupant comfort.
Peregrine's has extensive experience over the past 10 years working on various energy efficiency
projects and commissioning/retro-commissioning assignments in North over. urn of
the Town's interests and buildings will enable the Town to proceed quickly and efficiently.
Approach
In our January 25,2022 meeting,the To confirmed its continued interest in having Peregrine
consider the full project"wish Ilse discussed in May 2021 and Included In our original proposal.This
list Is summarized on the next page.
Now,pursuant to this recent conversation with the State's representatives,we will also,to the
extent the available budget allows,identify and evaluate potential projects that would satisfy the
following objectives:(1)reduction of GHG emissions,through energy efficiency,electrification,and
clean energy; (2)reduction of energy costs; (3)leveraging Mass Save*and other available clean
energy funding opportunities or mechanisms,where appropriate(e.g.,Solar Massachusetts
Renewable Target,Alternative Portfolio Standard,and tax credits);and(4)maximizing community
and public benefits.
Given the budget that is available,we have agreed that it will only be possible to implement a
portion of the projects identified on the is list,though we will be cognizant of the potential to
leverage Merrimack Valley Recovery Fund dollars with utility incentives available under the current
three-year plans,Green Community funding,and other sources.
The buildings of Interest to the Town,with potential projects you identified In May 2012 included:
- High School-Selective replacement of most problematic RTUs.
- Middle School-Consider converting pneumatic UV controls to DDC inn classrooms and also
selective replacement of end-of-life RTUs
- Sargent School-Complete pneumatic to DDC conversion on few remaining units
- Thompson School-Boiler plant replacement and convert remaining pneumatic to DDC
- Drinking Water Plant-Evaluate use of 31 AHU serving lower level-is it needed?Better
control strategy?Add VFDs to process pumps?
- DPW facility-Add sidewall exhaust system w/make-up air
- Fire Dept 1-Add JACE for controls integration to Town server
®- Ubrary-Replace boiler?
- Youth Center-Replace(S)furnaces and condensing units
- Police Department facility-Redesign holding area HVAC?Consider replacing RTU-2,-3
We will also expand our analysis to include the additional electrification,GHG reduction,and related
measures as agreed to on January 25,2022 for a subset of these buildings,as directed by the Town.
Our initial high-level effort will evaluate the condition of equipment,the timetable for needing
additional investment in equipment,opportunities for demand-side energy reduction and/or
electrification in the context of current operations and proposed changes to buildings,potential
costs for these measures,preliminary cost-benefit,etc. has 1 of this process will analyze all
projects on the wish list and assist the Town to select a subset of priority projects for a follow-on
Phase 2,where Peregrine could provide additional technical content and specifications to help
advance short-listed opportunities.
Phase 1 Scope of Work
The specific tasks we propose for our initial Phase I scope of work include:
- On-site evaluation of equipment condition and field conditions for replacement/upgrade
work(2 to 3 days)
- Documentation of equipment condition via quantitative scoring
- Estimating(high-level)construction costs(labor and materials combined)
- Quantification(high-level)of the impact of improvements on energy consumption
- Building a " ! i l"to explore high-level financial outcomes of various project
combinations and assisting the Town with project prioritization
- Meeting with the Town and others as directed by the Town as necessary(conf/video)
2
A follow-on Phase 2 Scope of Work, not included in this proposal,could include our preparing
"Voutline specifications"for some or all of the projects selected by the Town.These specifications
would be suitable for soliciting detailed engineering or for inclusion In RFP(s)for design-build
approach.There may also be a National Grid/Eversource"Custom Retrofit" or"Custom New
Construction"incentive track for new equipment or new construction projects that will require our
additional engineering support.
Phase 1 Fee and Schedule
Peregrine now proposes a not-to-exceed budget of$20,000 to complete the Phase 1 scope of work
for both the original and newly expanded measures on a time and expense basis.Our hourly rate Is
$150/hour.We will plan to begin working within a week of the Town's authorization to proceed.We
anticipate that it will take six to eight weeks to complete the initial draft report for this first phase to
narrow down and prioritize projects for Inclusion in the next phase.
We look forward to working with North Andover on this exciting opportunity.
Sincerely,
Kaj Huld and Steven Weisman
Peregrine Energy Group, Inc.
