SECTION 2 – PROJECT SUMMARY
Provide a brief 1-2 page overview of your project.
2.1 PROJECT TYPE
Describe the type of project you are proposing, (Reconnaissance; Resource Assessment/
Feasibility Analysis/Conceptual Design; Final Design and Permitting; and/or Construction) as
well as the kind of renewable energy you intend to use. Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA.
We are proposing to go into final design and construction of a wood –fired hydronic
heating system to heat 9 community buildings and to contribute heat to the village water
distribution system. We plan to make use of local wood in the form of cord wood.
2.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a one paragraph description of your project. At a minimum include the project location,
communities to be served, and who will be involved in the grant project.
We will be integrating a wood fired hydronic heating system with existing boiler system in some
of the buildings and retrofitting hot water heat to other buildings. The project will require a
greater initial investment and higher annual OM&R costs than for an equivalent oil or gas
system alone; however, the savings in fuel costs (wood vs. fossil fuel) will pay for the initial
investment and cover the additional OM&R costs in a relatively short period of time. After the
initial investment is paid off, the project will continues to save money (avoided fuel cost) for the
life of the heating system. Since inflation rates for fossil fuels are typically higher than inflation
rates for wood fuel, increasing inflation rates result in greater fuel savings and thus greater
project viability.
The potential financial viability of this project depends not only on the relative costs and cost
savings, but also on the financial objectives and expectations of the Gulkana Village, which will
be getting free firewood from another program.
The existing oil-fired furnaces, which would remain in place for back up purposes, and the
installation of two Garn WHS 32000 wood fired hydronic heaters will supply heat to four
duplexes, teen center, community hall administration, fitness center, shop, new offices, clinic,
and the new bus garage. It will also feed into the water system through the water distribution
made.
The initial investment would be $898,000 which would include the cost a combined heat building
and wood storage, pex insulated pipe, adapting buildings to hot water heat that do not already
have it.

Total Project Budget $898,000
2.4 PROJECT BENEFIT
Briefly discuss the financial benefits that will result from this project, including an estimate of economic
benefits(such as reduced fuel costs) and a description of other benefits to the Alaskan public.
Financially, this would be a benefit to the Gulkana Village as burning wood will greatly
reduce fuel cost. Money that would normally go for fuel oil will stay in the Gulkana
Village to maintain the heating system and fund other Village projects. Fuel cost saving
will be at least $30,000/year.
Wood heat will reduce the carbon footprint fo heating and will utilize a renewal resource
as a fuel.
This project will serve as a model for other rural communities in Alaska for community
heating with a renewable resource.
If other communities statewide adopt our fossil fuel conservation practices fuel oil use
will be reduced statewide.
2.5 PROJECT COST AND BENEFIT SUMARY

Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 6 of 14 9/3/2008
Excavators and other equipment are available through local contractors.
Gulkana Village has a Kenworth dump truck, Case 580 backhoe-loader, and a John Deer road
grader. We will be purchasing a dozer in the near future.
Construction supervision will be conducted by AEA.
3.5 Project Communications
Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status.
CE2 staff will meet regularly with AEA and Gulkana Village Council (GVC)’s Program
Manager throughout the project period to ensure that the work plan is carried out
according to schedule and on budget. CE2 will be the primary communicator with AE A
and will submit timely and accurate status reports to AEA and GVC detailing the status
of the project. GVC and AEA will monitor progress and participate in problem solving
as appropriate.
3.6 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
There are three primary categories of risk associated with this project.
The first category of risk is with administrative problems that may arise in the
management of budgets, personnel, vendors, contractors, etc. CE2 will meet
regularly with all parties to discuss work plans, milestones, schedules and
budget issues in order to monitor the project and identify any potential problems
early so that solutions may be identified quickly or back up plans can be initiated.
The second category of risk is associated with the technical aspects of
completing the project. Because this project requires specific knowledge and
expertise, GVC has opted to contract with CE2, a qualified, experienced
engineering firm that will be able to address the te chnical issues of the project
successfully. CE2 will notify all parties if and when technical problems arise to
inform them of the problem and discuss options for resolving the difficulty.
The third category of risk is the instability and uncertainty of procuring materials
and equipment needed to complete this project due to unstable world and
national market conditions. It has been the experience of project managers in
Alaska that costs for fabricated items such as boilers and pre -engineered
buildings can have long lead times as well as large price increases. CE2 intends
to procure all items necessary for the project as early as possible to ensure all
supplies are available at reasonable costs.
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 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 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.

Brief Project Description
We will be integrating two hydronic heating systems with existing boiler systems in some of the
buildings and retrofitting hot water heat to other buildings. The project requires a greater initial
investment and higher annual OM&R costs than for an equivalent oil or gas system alone;
however, the savings in fuel costs (wood vs. fossil fuel) will pay for the initial investment and
cover the additional OM&R costs in a relatively short period of time. After the initial investment is
paid off, the project continues to save money (avoided fuel cost) for the life of the wood-fired
heating system. Since inflation rates for fossil fuels are typically higher than inflation rates for
wood fuel, increasing inflation rates result in greater fuel savings and thus greater project
viability.
The potential financial viability of this project depends not only on the relative costs and cost
savings, but also on the financial objectives and expectations of the Gulkana Village, which will
be getting free firewood from another program.
The existing oil-fired furnaces, will remain in place, plus the installation of two Garn WHS 32000
wood fired boilers or a wood chip boiler. The initial investment was assumed to be $898,000.
The operation costs include 160 cords of fuel wood at $200 per cord and 541.75 hours of labor
per year at $16 per hour. The annual maintenance and repairs costs were assumed to be $500
and no allowances were made for replacement costs or residual value.
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.
Presence and utilization of high-hazard forest fuels
Gulkana Village Council (GVC) is surrounded by spruce forest much of which has been
destroyed by the spruce beetle. These trees create a great fire danger, but GVC is in the
process of thinning and clearing to make homes and personal property safe. These trees are on
GVC township land and virtually unlimited trees on Ahtna Incorporated Lands.
GVC has funding through the BIA Natural Resources Department to do this much needed
clearing and is expected to receive the funds for at least 3 more years. We have already stored
wood from two seasons of cutting which will go to the wood boilers.
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.
1. The Clinic has a single hot water boiler system, 80,000 BTU output, estimated
replaced in the early 1980’s, 80% efficient and is powered by fuel oil.
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 8 of 14 9/3/2008
2. The Shop/Garage has an over head gun furnace, 80,000 BTU output, estimated
installation time in the late 1980’s, 75% efficient and powered by fuel oil.
3. The Teen Fitness Center has two heat sources, one being a forced air gun furnace
75,000 BTU output, replaced in 2005, 75% efficient and powered by fuel oil. The
other fuel source being a toyostove, 55,000 BTU output, replaced in 1997, 88%
efficient and powered by fuel oil.
4. The Hall/Administration is powered by three toyostoves, 55,000 BTU output,
replaced in 1997, 88% efficient and powered by fuel oil.
5. The Office Building has a single hot water boiler, 150,000 BTU output, installed
new 2008, 80% efficient and powered by fuel oil.
6. The Four Duplex are powered by four hot water boilers, 150,000 BTU output each,
installed 2007, 80% efficient and powered by fuel oil.
7. The Transit Shop/Office facility that is under construction that will be powered by
new wood fired boiler, 250,000 BTU output.
8. The Community Water System is powered by two hot water boilers, 150,000 BTU
output each, installed in 1988, 75% efficient and powered by fuel oil.
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.
Existing energy resources in the Copper River Valley are wood and mainly fuel oil
systems. The impact would be to lessen dependency on fuel oil and to encourage
consumption of renewable form of energy.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
The local existing energy market relies heavily on fuel oil, which is getting extremely
expensive. The Gulkana wood heat project will significantly reduce heating cost for
community buildings.
See attached Preliminary Economic Study for details. Attachment B
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
Anticipated annual generation
Anticipated barriers
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 9 of 14 9/3/2008
Basic integration concept
Delivery methods
The proposed centralized wood fired hydronic heating system will provide heat and hot
water to all of the community facilities describe above. See Attachment C (figure 1
Heating System). The heat source will consist of two cordwood fired hydronic heaters
located in a pre-engineered insulated building See Attachment D (Figures 2-3 Wood
Heat Building). An adjacent covered section of the building, secured with chain linked
fencing will provide covered storage for half of the heating season of wood. Heat will be
transferred from the heat building to the surrounding facilities in a buried hydronic loop
using flexible insulated Pex piping system such as Ecoflex. Each branch tap off of this
adjacent to each building will have an insulated valve vault. This will serve to is olate
each building from the heating distribution system in the event of building mechanical
failure or fire. The building hydronic loop will be separated from the district heating loop
with a heat exchanger for system reliability.
The system will be designed to displace 85% of the oil previously used in the facilities.
This is done to reduce the cost of the project from overcapacity and to optimize system
operation.
Because this is a cordwood fired system, it will use more operated labor than a sys tem
using bulk biofuel such as wood pellets, chips, or barley. To minimize the labor,
cordwood would be packaged on half-cord skids or pallets and moved into the stoking
area with a small skid steer loader such as a Bobcat. A cordwood fired hydronic heat er
would be selected with primary/ secondary combustion chambers and a large heat
storage tank to maximize efficiency and minimize exhaust emissions.
Capacity, capacity factor, and other parameters are show in Appendix
A of the Preliminary Economic Study (see Attachment B).
4.3.2 Land Ownership
Identify potential land ownership issues, including whether site owners have agreed to the
project or how you intend to approach land ownership and access issues.
No land ownership or access issues. The land is owned by Gulkana Village Council.
4.3.3 Permits
Provide the following information as it may relate to permitting and how you intend to address
outstanding permit issues.
List of applicable permits
Anticipated permitting timeline
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 10 of 14 9/3/2008
Identify and discussion of potential barriers
The only permit is the plan review and certificate from Alaska State Fire Marshal. At this
time there appears to be no requirement for a DEC air quality permit for a facility this
size.
4.3.4 Environmental
Address whether the following environmental and land use issues apply, and if so how they will
be addressed:
Threatened or Endangered species
Habitat issues
Wetlands and other protected areas
Archaeological and historical resources
Land development constraints
Telecommunications interference
Aviation considerations
Visual, aesthetics impacts
Identify and discuss other potential barriers
There are no threatened or endangered species issues in the Gulkana Village.
There are no habit concerns.
There are no wetlands in the Village area.
In a previous road system project Gulkana Village, SHPO was contacted and no
archaeological or historical sites were located.
The only land constraints are by the Gulkana Village Council and they have approved this
project by Resolution 08-01 (Attachment E).
No Telecommunication interference.
The nearest airport is 9 miles away which poses no problems.
There will be no visual or aesthetic considerations.
There are no other potential barriers or concerns that will affect the environment.

minimum proposed business structure(s) and concepts that may be considered.
The completed project will be maintained and funded in part by free cordwood from other
programs and money that would normally go to pay for fuel oil bills that will no longer exist.
Gulkana has created the Gulkana Village Sanitation Master Plan and Feasibility Study. It was
through this plan that a major health/environment issue was identified, an improperly functioning
community septic system. Through GVC-IGAP’s assistance, the Gulkana Village was successful in
acquiring $1.04 million in funding from the State Village Safe Water Program for sewer and water
improvements that will begin the summer of 2006. Lastly, the environmental staff provided
assistance in developing the environmental assessment as specified in the BIA Road Paving
Project.
On the administrative side, efficiencies and capacity building continue with the Tribal
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 12 of 14 9/3/2008
Administrator and the Accountant attending management and financial trainings and
conferences. Further efficiencies have been provided through the acquisition and use of up-to-
date computers, printers, and palm pilots.
The Tribal Administrator provides oversight and supervision for all Gulkana Village Council staff
and programs. As the GVC’s efforts to achieve self-sufficiency and self-determination for the
Tribe have increased, so has the staff has increased in the past three years from six positions to
thirteen.
4.4.6 Analysis and Recommendations
Provide information about the economic analysis and the proposed project. Discuss your
recommendation for additional project development work.
See Preliminary Economic Study (Attachment B)
This shows that the system is economically viable. In addition, similar systems exist in
Ionia and Tanana, where they are working well. We would communicate with them
during the design phase to obtain any information and experience they have, to help
insure the success of our system.
SECTION 5– PROJECT BENEFIT
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,
RCA tariff, or avoided cost of ownership)
Potential additional annual incentives (i.e. tax credits)
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
This project will displace 293,000 gallons of fuel oil over a 20 year period. It is
anticipated that the life of this system will be 30 years.
The project will have a lower carbon footprint than the continued use of fuel oil. It will
use a renewable energy resource, and will provide for increased economic and
employment opportunities in the region.
