RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SOLICITATION OF PROPOSAL FOR ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACT AND EXPLORATION OF LEASE-PURCHASE FINANCING (092015) Dr. Hooker moved, seconded by Mrs. Singh:

The Superintendent requests authorization to solicit a proposal for an energy services contract from EnergyOptimizers, USA and requests authorization to explore the lease-purchase financing of the energy improvements.

Rationale:

1.	The District has identified a need to perform certain lighting, HVAC, and controls improvements in multiple buildings throughout the District (the “Project”).

2.	The District intends to explore financing the Project through a lease-purchase agreement, pursuant to Section 3313.375 of the Ohio Revised Code.

3.	The District may procure an energy services company to perform the work on the Project without engaging the competitive bidding, if the work will be performed through a lease-purchase agreement, pursuant to Section 3313.375 of the Ohio Revised Code, and may instead engage in a competitive proposal process.

4.	Accordingly, the District previously issued a Request for Qualifications to solicit statements of qualifications from interested energy services companies and, after evaluating the qualifications received, solicited preliminary pricing from the most-qualified firms.

5.	After evaluating the pricing provided from the firms, and based on the additional recommendation of Motz Engineering, the District has identified a contract with EnergyOptimizers to be in its best interest.

The Board of Education resolves as follows:

1.	Based upon the information provided, the Board authorizes the Superintendent, Treasurer, and other administrators to explore lease-purchase financing of the Project and to present a proposal for lease-purchase financing of the Project to the Board for consideration and possible approval.

2.	The Board recognizes that, if the Project will be subject to lease-purchase, the procurement of the energy services contract is not subject to competitive bidding and, in such event, selects EnergyOptimizers as the firm with whom a contract is in the Board’s best interest.

INDIAN HILL EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT MINUTES – September 15, 2020

3.	The Board authorizes the Superintendent, Treasurer, and other administrators to solicit a pricing proposal from EnergyOptimizers and negotiate the terms of an energy savings contract and to present such energy savings contract to the Board for consideration and possible approval.

Mr. Koennecke gave an overview to describe how the District assesses a shift from one plan to another in response to COVID-19. The District shared the following information:

• We are using contiguous district data, and discuss regularly with colleagues from neighboring districts.

• We are analyzing both anecdotal and informal input and feedback from questions posed to our County Health Commissioner and Medical Doctor on regular weekly calls.
• We are following local and state health orders.

• We are following our own internal record keeping on suspected cases, and we use the COVID-19 case flow chart we shared online.
