3.2 Project Schedule
Include a schedule for the proposed work that will be funded by this grant. (You may include a
chart or table attachment with a summary of dates below.)
The proposed schedule for this phase is as follows
Description Schedule
Phase 1- RFP 30 days after award of grant
Phase 2- Purchase/Ship 8-12 Weeks after receiving grant money
Phase 3-Instillation 2 years after receiving fixtures*
*Instillation is spread over a 2 year period to slowly integrate the new style light. This schedule
will also help avoid numerous replacements when the lifespan of the light unit expires.
3.3 Project Milestones
Define key tasks and decision points in your project and a schedule for achieving them. The
Milestones must also be included on your budget worksheet to demonstrate how you propose to
manage the project cash flow. (See Section 2 of the RFA or the Budget Form.)
Key project milestones for this project include the following:
Date Project Milestone
1 Month after Award Request for Proposal Bid
2-3 Months after RFP Bid Award Purchase/Shipping
2 years after purchase Instillation replacement of existing fixtures
This project will start when the grant is approved and will be completed approximately two years
and 3 months later.
3.4 Project Resources
Describe the personnel, contractors, equipment, and services you will use to accomplish the
project. Include any partnerships or commitments with other entities you have or anticipate will
be needed to complete your project. Describe any existing contracts and the selection process
you may use for major equipment purchases or contracts. Include brief resumes and references
for known, key personnel, contractors, and suppliers as an attachment to your application.
City and Borough of Wrangell charter dictates that all large purchases must go through a formal
request for proposal or bid process for award. For this project we anticipate issuing an RFP for
the purchase of 422 each LED lighting fixtures. After award of RFP, Wrangell Municipal Light
& Power will purchase the light fixtures and have them delivered to Wrangell.
Over the next two year period, Wrangell Municipal Light & Power employees (one Lineman and
one Ground Man) will replace the existing light fixtures with the new LED fixtures. Instillation
will also require use of a company bucket truck.
Wrangell Cooperative Association on behalf of Tlingit & Haida has secured a grant from the
Department of Energy to install 8 new street poles and LED fixtures in a tribal owned
subdivision. In securing the grant they acquired additional funds to help the City and Borough of
Wrangell purchase additional LED fixtures.

Grant Application Round 3
AEA10-015 Grant Application Page 6 of 11 10/7/2009
3.5 Project Communications
Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status.
Throughout the life of the project, the Project Manager will provide written and monthly updates
to AEA which will include at a minimum:

In addition to the monthly progress reports, communications on project status will also be
provided verbally with the AEA Project Manager on an informal basis through emails and phone
conversations.
3.6 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
Only foreseeable problem would be availability and delivery time to Wrangell this would only
delay the completion date.
SECTION 4 – PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TASKS
• Tell us what the project is and how you will meet the requirements outlined in Section 2 of
the RFA.
• The level of information will vary according to phase(s) of the project you propose to
undertake with grant funds.
• If you are applying for grant funding for more than one phase of a project provide a
plan and grant budget form for completion of each phase.
• If some work has already been completed on your project and you are requesting funding for
an advanced phase, submit information sufficient to demonstrate that the preceding phases
are satisfied and funding for an advanced phase is warranted.
4.1 Proposed Energy Resource
Describe the potential extent/amount of the energy resource that is available.
Discuss the pros and cons of your proposed energy resource vs. other alternatives that may be
available for the market to be served by your project.
The current street lights use an estimated 410,145 kwh annually for street lighting. The new LED
lights will use an estimated 142,028 kwh per year lowering consumption by over 268,000 kwh
per year. At 11.6 cents per kwh this is an estimated savings of $31,113.17 annually.
See Attachment D
4.2 Existing Energy System
4.2.1 Basic configuration of Existing Energy System
Briefly discuss the basic configuration of the existing energy system. Include information about
the number, size, age, efficiency, and type of generation.
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application Round 3
AEA10-015 Grant Application Page 7 of 11 10/7/2009
Currently Wrangell has 422 street lighting fixtures:
- 39 each 400 watt High Pressure Sodium fixtures
- 6 each 400 watt Mercury Vapor fixtures
- 47 each 250 watt High Pressure Sodium fixtures
- 203 each 150 watt High Pressure Sodium fixtures
- 127 each 175 watt Mercury Vapor fixtures
Then 133 Mercury Vapor fixtures are now obsolete and have to be replaced regardless of the
grant. The other units are not cost effective to keep replacing.
4.2.2 Existing Energy Resources Used
Briefly discuss your understanding of the existing energy resources. Include a brief discussion of
any impact the project may have on existing energy infrastructure and resources.
Currently Wrangell uses hydropower supplied from the Tyee Lake Hydroelectric Facility. Total
consumption in Wrangell has increased over 30% in the past two years. Lower consumption for
street lighting will allow for further economic growth.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
Then street light fixtures currently installed use approximately 410,145 kilowatts per year. This
cost is paid by the City (Public Works and Harbor Departments), the State of Alaska, Trailer
Court owners, and Residents (who requested additional lighting).
The proposed LED lights will use approximately 142,018 kilowatts per year. Lower usage will
save an estimated $31,113.17 per year.
4.3 Proposed System
Include information necessary to describe the system you are intending to develop and address
potential system design, land ownership, permits, and environmental issues.
4.3.1 System Design
Provide the following information for the proposed renewable energy system:
• A description of renewable energy technology specific to project location
• Optimum installed capacity
• Anticipated capacity factor

Explain the economic and public benefits of your project. Include direct cost savings,
and how the people of Alaska will benefit from the project.
The benefits information should include the following:
• Potential annual fuel displacement (gal and $) over the lifetime of the evaluated
renewable energy project
• Anticipated annual revenue (based on i.e. a Proposed Power Purchase Agreement price,

• Potential additional annual revenue streams (i.e. green tag sales or other renewable
energy subsidies or programs that might be available)
• Discuss the non-economic public benefits to Alaskans over the lifetime of the project
Wrangell operates on diesel generation for 2-3 weeks in the early summer for Tyee’s annual shut
down for maintenance. The generators used 46,303 gallons of diesel producing 566,980 KWH
over an 11 day period. Converting to LED street lighting will save an estimated 358 gallons of
diesel costing $811.60. Additionally Wrangell charges a surcharge on the entire months usage
while on diesel generators. In 2009 the usage for street lights was 18,186 KWH for the month of
June. The estimated LED KWH consumption for the same month is 6267 KWH. The surcharge
amount for 2009 was $0.042 providing an additional savings of $500.60. The total saving for the
annual shut down will be $1312.20.

meet the requirements of previous grants.
Wrangell Municipal Light & Power requested quotes for the lighting in early 2009 at the request
of Tlingit & Haida. Wrangell Cooperative applied for a Department of Energy grant to install 8
new lighting poles with fixtures in a local tribally owned subdivision and ask for additional
funding to assist the City and Borough of Wrangell in purchasing units to upgrading existing
street lights with the more energy efficient LED’s. During this process Wrangell Municipal Light
& Power prepared a cost analysis regarding the existing units vs. new LED units (Attachment E).
Wrangell Cooperative/Tlingit & Haida have secured their grant with the Department of Energy
with additional funds ($34,160.00) for the City to use towards purchasing new LED units.
If this project grant is approved the City and Borough of Wrangell intends to start the RFP
process immediately.
