This will be used to reduce operating costs for the City of Homer’s Department of Public Works water distribution infrastructure. The proposed project will create a flow bypass around the existing pressure control valve at each site to flow through an energy recovery system. This system shall utilize an integrated solution, a pressure recovery valve that will generate a new source of renewal energy, reduce Homer’s carbon footprint, save water and extend the life of its infrastructure. Renewable Energy Fund (REF) is funding Phase 3 of 4, (Phase 3 – Final Design and Permitting) for this project. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS: a. Planned Outcome i. Obtain Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Final Design including a Notice of FERC exemption (regulatory/permitting) submitted by Grantee. b. Assumptions and constraints i. Assumptions a. AEA will issue a pass-through grant to the City of Homer. b. The City of Homer, Department of Public Works will perform the solicitation of contractual services necessary to produce the Final Design and Permitting. c. AEA staff will perform a final review of the design documents. ii. Constraints a. Grant application, schedule and budget were prepared in November 2021 with the Final Design and permitting being contracted out. Cost and schedule proposed by contractors to the City of Homer back in November 2021 may be different during contract execution. Current Consumer Price Index (CPI) is continues an upward trend which could affect the project cost and schedule. c. Organizational documents i. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application #14006 ii. Project Management Plan iii. Running budget d. Non-Organizational documents i. Grant Documentation ii. Final Design Documents iii. Permitting SCOPE: This project will be a pass-through grant with a series of deliverables that need to be approved prior to moving to the next phase of design.
