Title/Name/Summary
Sustainability Consulting - Approval
History
The Village has received a proposal for Renewal Energy and Sustainability consulting in reference to the Village’s Smart Living and ECOMAP programs from Teresa Fourcher, AIA, LEED AP. The proposal is attached for your review. Ms. Fourcher will work with staff to evaluate and implement new green technology innovations (focused primarily on renewable energy projects) that are appropriate for the Village. Examples of possible pilot projects could include solar or wind projects.
Through the Village’s EECBG grant, administrative costs are reimbursable with grant funds. This consulting fee will be reimbursed with EECBG monies and will not impact the general fund. The contract will be billed hourly, not to exceed $10,000.
Financial Impact
The consulting fees will be billed on an hourly basis of $120 per hour and charged to the green account: 010-0000-499.84-99. These fees will be reimbursed to the Village through the $25,000 administrative portion of the EECBG monies we have received.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approval a contract with Teresa Fourcher, in an amount not to exceed $10,000, for Sustainability Consulting services in reference to the Village’s Smart Living and ECOMAP programs.
