Intergovernmental Agreement - Better Buildings Challenge.pdf
Background: The City of Milwaukee would like to partner with Milwaukee Public Schools on the implementation of the Better Buildings Challenge-Milwaukee program (BBC-MKE). The program has received an award of funds from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a comprehensive energy-efficiency program to help buildings prepare to develop and implement energy-efficiency projects. The goal of the program is to conduct energy audits with students and staff at 25 schools and to recommend actionable energy-efficiency measures and energy-efficient behaviors which ultimately will reduce both utility and operational costs.

The City of Milwaukee’s Environmental Collaboration Office will work with the Department of Facilities and Maintenance Services to connect with interested schools that could benefit from the BBC-MKE program.

Agreement will terminate on June 30, 2018.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City will provide in-kind and/or contract services not to exceed $36,000.00 to provide site-based energy audits in collaboration with students and staff at 25 schools.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Once approved by the Board, the Intergovernmental Agreement shall be executed.
Recommendation: Your Committee recommends that the Board approve the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement between Milwaukee Public Schools and The City of Milwaukee for the Better Buildings Challenge Program.
