Attention: Don Taylor, City Manager
Subject: DIRECTED ENERGY STUDY -CITY OF SCHERTZ
Dear Customer:
The City of Schertz (the ~~City'~ is interested in improving the infrastructure of its existing
facilities through aperformance-based contract with McKinstry Essention, Inc. (~~McKinstry'~.
This letter agreement will provide the guidelines for which McKinstry will provide the following
tasks:
1. Conduct a Directed Energy Study for the City.
2. Develop a comprehensive Energy Services Proposal for selected initiatives.
The target facilities to be studied are located in Attachment C, located at the end of this letter
agreement.
ACTIONS TO BE PERFORMED
McKinstry will complete the following action leading to implementation of performance-
based initiatives:
• Directed Energy Study ("DES"): The DES will identify and analyze performance-based
contracting measures along with their associated savings, costs, and potential for utility
rebates. McKinstry shall work closely with the local utilities to secure any applicable rebates
that may be available to the City. The end result of the DES shall be an Energy Services
Proposal for implementation of viable initiatives with associated energy cost savings and
payback information. The deliverables associated with the energy service proposal can be
found in Attachment A. The City will reimburse McKinstry for its time and expenses at a
cost not to exceed $35,000.00 for (i) conducting the DES based on the Criteria for
Implementation paragraph below, and (ii) developing an Energy Services Proposal for
selected initiatives.
¦ [INSERT ENERGY SAVINGS GUARANTEE BY MCKINSTRY.]
REQUESTED INFORMATION
For effective execution of this letter agreement we ask that the City provide access to the
following for each facility:

calculation and review;
(2) is not an officer or employee of a provider for the contract
under review; and
(3) is not otherwise associated with the contract.

revenue, and, if applicable, efficiency or accuracy of metering
equipment. An engineer who reviews a contract shall maintain the
confidentiality of any proprietary information the engineer acquires
while reviewing the contract. Sections 1001.053 and 1001.407,

Sec. 302.006. METER GUARANTEES.
(a) This section applies to any energy savings performance contract
that:
(1) provides for any metering or related equipment, system, or
process or procedure; and
(2) includes a meter guarantee by the provider, regardless of
whether the meter guarantee is a part of a broader guarantee
applicable to other energy or water conservation or usage measures or
causally connected work.
(b) Not later than the fifth anniversary of the effective date of an
energy savings performance contract, an engineer shall test a
statistically relevant sample of the meters installed or implemented
under the contract to determine or calculate the actual average
accuracy and shall compare the actual average accuracy to the baseline
average accuracy of those tested meters.
(c) A meter guarantee applies if the engineer reports to the local
government and the provider that the average accuracy of the tested
meters as of the testing date is less than the baseline average
accuracy of the tested meters as of the testing date.
(d) The amount payable under the meter guarantee must be determined
for each year subject to the engineer's report and is equal to the
difference between:
(1) the agreed increase in billable revenues based on the
estimated accuracy of all of the meters for each year, according to
the energy savings performance contract; and
(2) the revenues for the same year that would result from
applying the engineer's reported actual average accuracy of the tested
meters to all of the meters subject to the energy savings performance
contract, using the same contract components that were used to
calculate the agreed increase in billable revenues for that year,
assuming the annual decrease in actual average accuracy of all the
