AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY TO ACCEPT, EXECUTE, AND SUPPLEMENTALLY APPROPRIATE THE PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $54,000.00 FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
The Public Water Supply Energy Efficiency Grant Program is a program designed by the U.S. Department of Energy to advance state-led energy initiatives and maximize the benefits of decreasing energy waste. The awarding agency is the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”). This ordinance accepts, authorizes, and appropriates the Public Water Supply Energy Efficiency Grant Program, identified as Agreement No. 25-3312-PWS24103, from IEPA on behalf of the City of Springfield, Office of Public Utilities’ Water Division. The grant provides funding for the Water Filter Plant to enhance operational and energy efficiency. This initiative is driven by the 2022 Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC) Energy Assessment Report and includes recommendations to save approximately 188,400kWh of electricity annually. This grant provides funding for three key initiatives approved by the IEPA as recommended by the Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC) Energy Assessment Report from 2022. LED lighting upgrades will replace energy-intensive and less efficient interior and exterior lighting. This upgrade will significantly reduce the filter plant’s energy consumption and maintenance costs while providing better-quality lighting. Verifying and optimizing occupancy sensors will ensure that lights are only on when areas are occupied, thereby reducing energy wastage. Finally, the installation of daylighting controls will account for the availability of natural light and automatically adjust or turn off electric lights when sufficient daylight is present, reducing energy consumption. Together, these projects represent a comprehensive approach to improving energy efficiency resulting in a reduction in our carbon footprint while enhancing operational efficiency. This is a 90% grant with a 10% match; effective from the date executed, through March 31, 2026.

AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A TELECOMMUNICATIONS FIBER CAPACITY LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH SPRINGFIELD CLINIC, LLP FOR 1025 S. 6TH STREET AND 3201 ROBBINS ROAD, FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
This ordinance authorizes the City to license dark fiber capacity to Springfield Clinic, LLP ("Springfield Clinic") for a period of five years. The Office of Public Utilities has constructed a fiber optic telecommunications system. The network has the ability to provide WAN (wide area network) services across the system. This allows computers to pass data between remote facilities at speeds that are as fast as computers in the local buildings. This technology allows for consolidating computers, servers, and required network equipment and enhancing the facilities' capabilities. Springfield Clinic has requested a dark fiber connection from its 1025 S. 6th Street facility to its 3201 Robbins Road facility. For this service, Springfield Clinic will pay $2,350.00 per month for the term of the five-year contract. This will be done by utilizing existing fiber and communication infrastructure. Springfield Clinic may elect to terminate this agreement at any time without cause, provided that Springfield Clinic shall thereupon pay the remaining monthly charges for the remainder of the five-year contract term. After the initial term, this agreement will automatically be extended and continued every month until terminated by either party per this agreement. After the initial five-year term, either party may terminate the contract with 30 days' notice.
