5 <br /> Ms. Pamela K Jones August 8, 2006 <br /> RE: Reviero of DTCC Alternates page 2 <br /> Altemate #-I: $35,00 <br /> Phis alternate adds a solar-assisted domestic water heating system. The payback is well oeet <br /> 50 wars <br /> Alternate #5: 519,5,1100 <br /> This alternate adds a roinwator collection and rc-use system supple, ink non-potable mater for <br /> Flushing plumbing fixtures throughout the facility The payback on this system is ovm 100 <br /> years, <br /> Alternate #6: 5700 <br /> this alternate uses waterless urinals, instead of conventionally plumbed urinals Appr oval of <br /> this relatively small added cost ensures that router-conserving w°inals iNill be installed, <br /> Depending on usage and water and scroer rates, the payback on this investment can he lays•, <br /> than 5 years. <br /> Alternate #7: $36,500 <br /> Ibis alternate adds operable windows in lieu of fixed windows in classrooms Safehv <br /> concerns and natural ventilation no considerations in acceptance of this alternate No <br /> payback members were generated since there is no direct correlation to energy savings- <br /> As you know, payback periods wi0 decrease if the cost of providing electricit /gas/water goers up <br /> significantly, since our life-cycle cost analyses are based on present rates with normal inflation. <br /> We understand Grange County's commitment to sustainable facilities as display=ed in past projects, <br /> and we realize that the decision to fund alternates is not purely economic, etspecialh since the high- <br /> performance system alternates add to the opportunities for this educational facility to become a <br /> teaching tool for conservation of energy and water resources. <br /> Alternate 418: 5341,000 <br /> Also created at the request of the Board of Commissioners, this alternate adds a park and <br /> ride facility to the property adjacent to the proposed classroom building It is our <br /> understanding that grant-f Lind ung is available, and that building this alternate along with the <br /> college's parking lots offers an opportunity to economize on mobitiZation and material costs <br /> it is our understanding that this information will be discussed by the Couch' Commissioners at their <br /> August 22nd meeting. Upon our hearing which alternates will be accepted and funded by the <br /> BOCC, we will add those to the construction contract with ML.B to be incorporated into the overall <br /> project.
