I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. SUMMARY & PROJECT SERVICES
Ameresco is pleased to present this proposal for the implementation of energy efficiency measures
for City of Edmonds.
This Proposal follows the outline contained in Section II of the Master Energy Services Agreement
(MESA). It presents the contractual terms under which Ameresco, City of Edmonds, and the
Department of Enterprise Services Energy Program (DES Energy Program) will work together over
the term of the project. This Proposal describes the scope, costs, guarantees, and other aspects of
the project.
The services in this Proposal include design, construction, system verification, and Measurement
and Verification (M&V) services for the first year. Although City of Edmonds will operate and
maintain the new equipment, Ameresco will provide important M&V services during the first year to
help ensure the predicted savings are achieved. Ongoing M&V services are also offered for an
additional cost at the owner’s request.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project improves City of Edmonds infrastructure while saving energy. The proposed Carbon
Recovery Project (Project) will replace the 30-year old sewage sludge incinerator (SSI) at the City of
Edmonds’ (Edmonds) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with a new biosolids gasification system,
converting the resultant waste stream – currently ash – to a carbon-rich resource, commonly
referred to as ‘biochar’.
This project advances the City’s incremental and phased plan to upgrade and replace the solids
handling systems for the WWTP as laid out in the ‘Pathway to Sustainability’.
Edmonds is one of five jurisdictions in Washington that presently utilizes an SSI to dispose of
wastewater biosolids. As state and federal regulatory authorities enforce more stringent clean air
requirements, the compliance requirements for continued operation are not only expensive but
overly burdensome. Further, regulations require replacement at specific thresholds regardless of
ability to comply.
Initial research, technical information requests, and evaluation (established via an RFQ process
which Ameresco facilitated for the City that included proposals from across North America) have
revealed new technologies that can significantly improve the recovery of Carbon and are viable
alternatives to incineration. The City has concluded that both Pyrolysis or Gasification could meet
the goal and intent of Resolution No. 1389. In addition, either technology would significantly
reduce operating, regulatory, and disposal expenses.
Edmonds has adopted a very aggressive commitment to improve impact on climate with Resolution
No. 1389. To that end, this project will further develop and deploy the fluid lift gasification
technology provided by Ecoremedy. The Ecoremedy gasification process is designed to convert the
energy in the dewatered biosolids cake generated at the City of Edmonds, WA WWTP to useable
thermal energy for the purpose of drying the dewatered biosolids to Class A product, recover usable
thermal energy for process, and produce a carbon rich biochar or low carbon concentrated minerals.
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 4 of 30
Ecoremedy is providing a system designed to process dewatered sludge ranging between 22% to
26.5% solids and shredded screenings (Rags) to beneficial renewable energy. The gasification
system will convert the biosolids waste stream into a biochar product that sequesters the carbon
content into a useful product with a range of agricultural and industrial uses. In addition to the
replacement of the incinerator this project will also be replacing the existing plant foul air odor
scrubber. The new odor control system is a low profile “EcoFilter” bio-trickling filter that reduces
the need for expensive chemicals and reduces the number of truck trips required for delivery.

D. PROJECT BENEFITS
1. FINANCIAL BENEFITS
Table 1 shows project costs, estimated utility incentives, and savings related to this project.
The guaranteed maximum project cost is $23,529,247. Including sales tax and DES Energy
Program project management fees, the total project cost is $26,275,016. The estimated
utility incentive for the project is $20,000.
All construction costs will be open book to the Owner, and any cost savings related to savings
on the ESCO’s (energy services company) labor and material costs will revert to the Owner at
the end of the project.
The project will produce over $38,885 annually in energy savings. The project Financial
Analysis in Table 1 is based on City of Edmonds providing a capital investment of $10,000,000
and financing $16,255,016.
Another potential financial benefit the Ecoremedy gasification system may provide is
qualification for a sales tax exemption from the Washington State Department of Revenue,
due to the fact that Biochar is considered a marketable product. Equipment, materials and
systems associated with producing the sellable product (biochar, EQ biosolids) qualify for tax
exemption.
And finally, Governor Inslee recently signed the 2020 Supplemental State Capital Budget,
which includes an appropriation of $250,000.00 for the Edmonds Carbon Recovery
(Edmonds) WWTP Project.
2. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL RELATED BENEFITS
Over $304,347 in annual operational and maintenance savings is factored into the financial
analysis. These include reductions in various consumables associated with the SSI including
chemicals, sand, ferrules, tubes, clay, polymer and mercury modules. Additionally, regulatory
costs associated with incineration and costs for emissions testing and consulting.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
In addition to building improvements and energy savings, there is a significant positive
impact on the environment as a result of this project. The energy savings produced as a result
of this project will directly reduce the amount of power produced by the utilities and reduce
CO2 emissions by over 19,320 lbs. annually.
Additionally, it is estimated that .75 to 1 million lbs. of carbon are recovered as a result of the
Ecoremedy gasification process.
E. GUARANTEES
Ameresco guarantees that the project cost, related specifically to energy savings and the project
scope, will not exceed the maximum price of $23,529,247 (project cost before sales tax and DES
Energy Program project management fee). Also, Ameresco is guaranteeing that the project will
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 6 of 30
perform such that electrical savings will not be less than 71,736 kWh per year, oil savings will not be
less than 12,875 gallons per year. This corresponds with 90% of the estimated energy savings.
Natural gas will be used to fire-off the gasification system after periods of shut-down. Currently the
incinerator does not use natural gas, therefore an overall increase in WWTP natural gas usage shall
be no more than 4,576 therms per year. This corresponds with 110% of the estimated gas increase.
F. CONCLUSION
This project represents an excellent opportunity for the City of Edmonds to improve its facilities and
replace the solids handling systems while saving energy, and reducing operational costs associated
with the existing incinerator. The project provides over $26,270,000 in facility improvements.
Ameresco looks forward to working with City of Edmonds and DES Energy Program in making this
project a success.

N/A
A. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
1. BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The City of Edmonds operates and maintains the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). A
regional facility that treats flows from the cities of Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, and
Lynnwood; King County; Olympic View Water and Sewer District; and Ronald Wastewater
District. On average, the WWTP treats 4.8 million gallons per day (MGD). The WWTP liquid
stream consists of a headworks with three mechanical screens, three primary clarifiers (two
square and one rectangular), three aeration basins, three circular secondary clarifiers, and
two chlorine contact tanks. The disinfected plant effluent is discharged through a single 36-
inch diameter outfall into the Puget Sound.
2. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
The WWTP solids stream includes screw press dewatering and incineration of the sludge
cake using a fluidized bed incinerator. The dewatered sludge (DS) from the screw presses is
stored in a DS storage hopper that is continuously mixed. The screw presses were replaced
in 2017 and have a performance guarantee of producing DS with a minimum of 26.5% solids
content. The screw presses have been performing above this minimum threshold achieving
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 7 of 30
typical % solids in the 30-32% range. Washed screenings are compacted and discharged to
the DS conveyors immediately upstream of the screw presses. The screenings are mixed
with the DS in the conveyors and combined with the DS in the DS storage hopper where
they are further comingled via the DS hopper mixing. DS is pumped from the DS storage
hopper to the incinerator fluidized bed at 6-9 gallons per minute (gpm) via a piston pump.
The incinerator fluidized bed is made up of approximately 16,000 lbs. of green lightening
sand. Diesel is used as an auxiliary fuel to maintain a bed temperature of 1,400 degrees
Fahrenheit (°F). The air supply is preheated to 1,200 °F by a heat exchanger to reduce the
auxiliary fuel consumption. The pre-heated air is forced up through the bed of hot sand and
causes the sand bed to be fluidized. When the sand bed is fluidized it acts like boiling water
that can reduce approximately 1,000 gallons of bio-solids down to approximately two quarts
of ash. The incinerator exhaust with associated ash is scrubbed in the venturi scrubber with
50 gpm of water and then further treated through a 4-stage separator and tray cooling
tower that has 200 gpm of water flowing in the opposite direction of the exhaust gases.
Each stage of the tray cooler has a plate with small holes in it that the air must flow through.
The water runs across the top of each plate and the exhaust gases ‘bubble’ through the
water. The exhaust gases are reheated with a natural gas-fired burner to eliminate the
vapor plume for aesthetics. The ash that is combined with the spray water is captured at the
bottom of the separating and tray cooling tower as ash slurry. The ash slurry is then
thickened in the ash thickener and then dewatered using a drum vacuum filter prior to
disposal offsite. Supernatant from the ash thickener is drained by gravity to the sump pump
and ultimately recombined with wastewater in the WWTP flow splitter box upstream of the
primary clarifiers. Plant foul air is handled by the existing 30-year old Vanaire chemical
scrubber (WS-601) and each scrubber fan (FIC-631 and FIC 632) were originally sized for a
foul airflow of 20,000 cubic feet per meter (cfm). As part of the Edmonds dewatering
improvements project Ph. 5 the foul air system total connected load has been revised to the
current total of 17,100 cfm.

III. ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES (ECM’S) TO BE IMPLEMENTED
A. EDMONDS WWTP INCINERATOR REPLACEMENT – (PROJECT B)
1. GENERAL CONSERVATION MEASURES
a) ECM-PROJECT B: Replace existing SSI with Ecoremedy Gasification system
This measure will replace the sewage sludge incinerator (SSI) and ancillary systems
with an Ecoremedy (ECR) engineered system which incorporates a gasifier/oxidizer
and a drum dryer along with various biosolids mixers and conveyors, bins, plume
abatement heat exchanger, pumps, cyclones, blowers, a dust collection system, an
activated carbon filter and a wet scrubber; which will process and reduce dewatered
sludge (DS) to any of three output products: a) concentrated minerals, b) biochar or
c) Class A dried biosolids.
The project also replaces the existing screenings pumps in the Headworks building
with two new pumps and installs a new washer compactor.
Additionally, replace the existing Vanaire chemical scrubber system with an
“EcoFilter” system by BioAir and revise the foul air ductwork to accommodate
relocating the odor scrubber near the Headworks building.
Ameresco will perform air balancing for the modifications to the foul air system and
new EcoFilter.
Furthermore, the existing ash storage room will be reconfigured to handle the
multiple output products of the ECR system by installing two storage bins to replace
the single ash bin.
To install this system and associated equipment the contents of the “incinerator
building” will be demolished and this “building” will be converted to accommodate
the ECR gasification system. The scope of work in the incinerator building includes
new solids handling equipment, HVAC systems, lighting and fire protection systems,
hoisting systems, service and access platforms for all new equipment, a new
dewatered sludge hopper and pump, including installation of the hydraulic pack
furnished by the City. Structural steel and concrete construction will be provided to
install an upper floor which will house the material handling bins and conveyors.
The associated controls integration and modifications to the existing SCADA system
will be procured by the City who will contract directly with the current WWTP
controls vendor Parametrix.

E. CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY
A construction contingency of $843,621 (not including sales tax) has been established for this
project. The contingency is for items necessary to complete the original scope of work upon
approval by the Owner and DES Energy Program. Such approval for the use of contingency funds
for work in the original scope shall not be unreasonably withheld. The ESCO shall not be allowed
to mark-up contingency funds expended for items included in the original scope of this project.
The ESCO and Owner will jointly manage any contingency left after the project scope is
completed. The ESCO shall be allowed to mark-up items beyond the original scope and
approved by Owner. All unused construction contingency funds shall reduce the overall project
cost to the Owner.
F. ONGOING SERVICES
Ongoing measurement and verification for the first year is included in the project fees. After the
end of Year 1, the ESCO will present a proposal to the Owner for ongoing measurement and
verification services for future years, at the owner’s request. These services will verify energy
savings and provide engineering assistance in maintaining the savings as described in Section III.
The owner may cancel these services at any time. Such cancellation will also terminate the
energy savings guarantee (Section XI).
Ecoremedy (ECR) “Optimization Service Contract”
Included is one-year “optimization services” which includes remote monitoring, remote trouble
shooting and help desk, automatic updates and upgrades, and two site visits at the 6 month and
1 year anniversaries from project acceptance. This includes two onsite visits for two days while
evaluating operations and suggesting improvements, if any, to optimize system performance
and to confirm performance capacity meets loading requirements stated in section VII.B.
G. ACCOUNTING RECORDS
The ESCO shall check all material, equipment, and labor entering into the Work and shall keep
such full and detailed accounts as may be necessary for proper financial management under this
Agreement. The accounting system shall be satisfactory to the Owner. The Owner shall be
afforded access to all the ESCO's records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings,
receipts, vouchers, memoranda, and similar data relating to this Contract, and the Contractor
shall preserve all such records for a period of six (6) years, or for such longer period as may be
required by law, after the final payment. Refer to General Conditions section 6.04 for details.
H. RECONCILIATION OF LABOR & MATERIAL COSTS
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 18 of 30
The financed amount is based on an estimate of Labor & Material costs. In recognition that
actual Labor & Material costs may vary from the estimate, the following procedures are
established to reconcile this difference:
a) When actual labor and material costs exceed the estimated labor and material costs
(plus contingency), the additional expense will be borne by the ESCO without affecting
the Owner’s payment
b) When actual labor and material costs are less than the estimated labor and material
cost (plus contingency), the remaining funds will be retained by the Owner
I. DIVERSE BUSINESS PARTICIPATION GOALS FOR THIS PROJECT
Ameresco supports the State of Washington’s diverse business inclusion plan targets and
recognizes the ability of the DES ESCO program to participate in contributing to these goals.
Ameresco understands the unique nature of ESCO work and acknowledges the responsibility to
DES and the client agency to provide a project that meets the client’s needs while providing the
guaranteed savings as agreed to and contracted. To support diverse business outreach in
Washington State. Ameresco has established the following diverse business participation goals
for this project:
State Certified Categories Original Contract
Percentages
Percentage for
construction
(This Project)
Percentage for
services
(This Project)
Minority-owned business 10% TBD TBD
Women-owned business 6% TBD TBD
Veteran-owned business 5% TBD TBD
Small/mini/micro business 5% TBD TBD
Ameresco will not be able to meet the original diverse participation goals for the following
reason:
• At this point in the design, bidding and sub-contracting process we are not able to
ascertain what the business diversity makeup will be.
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 19 of 30
J. MINIMUM LEVELS OF APPRENTICESHIP
The ESCO shall comply with the requirements from the January 31, 2020 Supplemental
Conditions for Washington State Energy Savings Performance Contracting; Section 10.16
Minimum Levels of Apprenticeship Participation. For contracts greater than or equal to $1
million in construction cost, ESCOs meeting or exceeding the 15% apprenticeship utilization
requirement will receive a $1,000 incentive (including sales tax) which is included in the
Guaranteed Maximum Project Cost. The ESCO who fails to meet the utilization requirements
and fails to demonstrate a Good Faith Effort is subject to penalties, not to exceed five percent
(5%) of the Total Contract Sum.
The ESCO shall provide an Apprentice Utilization Plan demonstrating how and when the ESCO
intends to meet the requirements prior to submitting the first construction invoice for
construction labor.
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING EQUIPMENT
The audit included assessment of the belt conveyor in the Headworks building which moves
screenings into the grinder. Ameresco recommends replacing this conveyor with an enclosed
screw conveyor.
The WWTP has a system in place to accept outside septage from tanker trucks. This system
currently uses a pump which is enclosed in a “doghouse” next to the Headworks building which
will be displaced by the new EcoFilter system. Our project includes the demo of the “doghouse”
and pump but does not re-establish a system for receiving outside septage. Our design drawings
include “optional scope” to reconfigure existing WAS transfer pump #WAT-610 for this purpose,
which will be offered as “additive alternate scope”. Ameresco recommends converting WAT-610
for outside sludge transfer.
The Ecoremedy system has an option for a redundant “Class A Bypass” which includes a
pneumatic conveyance system and piping associated w/Class A biosolids. For cost savings this
option is not included in the base scope. Ameresco recommends including this optional scope if
the City prefers a redundant Class A biosolids trane.
Influent pumping
The plant currently employs an air-over-hydraulic actuator on the gravity outfall control valve in
the effluent building. These actuators consume compressed air to actuate their respective
valves. The gravity flow valve actuator operates in tandem with the effluent pumps: when the
effluent pumps are operating, the gravity flow valve is shut, and vice versa. Ameresco
recommends replacing the air-over-hydraulic valve actuator, on the 48-inch outfall control
valve, with an electronic actuator to conserve electrical energy by reducing load on the HPA
compressed air system.
Ameresco is working with the City of Edmonds WWTP to evaluate replacing one of the 100hp
influent pumps (Raw Sewage) with a “right-sized” smaller pump. This measure would de-rate
one of four pumps for pumping energy savings while still meeting the regulatory requirements
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 20 of 30
for capacity and redundancy. Ameresco recommends replacing variable speed pump RS-103
with new pump rated at 5700 GPM utilizing a ‘Permanent Magnet’, premium efficiency Baldor
motor along with a new compatible VFD by Allen-Bradley (750 series).
VII. STANDARD OF SERVICE
A. HVAC COMFORT
The heating and ventilating (HV) systems provided by the ESCO will provide comfort and indoor
air quality in accordance with Exhibit 3. This standard will pertain only to buildings and areas of
buildings in which the ESCO is installing new HVAC equipment that has direct control over space
comfort conditions. HVAC comfort conditions cannot be guaranteed when operable windows
are open. Standards for HVAC comforts are as follows:
a) Industrial area Occupied Temperatures
(1) Winter Minimum – 60 Degrees F
(2) Winter Maximum – 80 Degrees F
(3) Summer Minimum – 70 Degrees F (where mechanical cooling is employed)
(4) Summer Maximum – 78 Degrees F (where mechanical cooling is employed)
b) Industrial area Unoccupied Temperatures

pounds) per day @ 20% solids (20%-26.5%) 24 hours per day up to 7 days a week operating
time. This is also expressed as an hourly performance processing rate of 656 DRY pounds per
hour of dewatered biosolids at 26.5% solids content and approximately 96 pounds per hour of
screenings.
These solids loading and performance capacity ratings comply with the Basis of Design
concluded from the Engineering Report prepared by BHC Consultants as part of the 2018-19

X. METHOD OF CALCULATING ENERGY SAVINGS & ENERGY COST SAVINGS
A. ENERGY AUDIT
The energy cost savings are calculated in Exhibit 1. These savings calculations have been
reviewed and accepted by the DES Energy Program project management, the Owner and the
ESCO.
B. CALCULATION OF SAVINGS
1. The Owner, DES, and the ESCO agree that the energy savings exists if the ESCO equipment
performs as described below (as measured per Section IV.6):
a) Fluid Lift Gasifier system installed by the ESCO: These systems perform properly
when able to process 45 wet tons (9 dry tons, or 18,050 dry pounds) per day @ 20%
solids (20%-26.5%) 24 hours per day up to 7 days a week operating time. This is also
expressed as an hourly performance processing rate of 656 DRY pounds per hour of
dewatered biosolids at 26.5% solids content and approximately 96 pounds per hour
of screenings.
b) Odor Control system installed by the ESCO: These systems perform properly when
the systems provide equivalent levels of odorous compound removal to what the
plant maintained in the previous year assuming equivalent influent flows and BOD
loading. (BioAir EcoFilter performance: Average H2S removal greater than 99% or
Ameresco, Inc. Energy Services Proposal City of Edmonds
Page 25 of 30
average outlet H2S concentration less than 0.5 ppmv, whichever is less stringent,
based on table 1.1 design criteria expressed in section VII.B)
2. The Owner and the ESCO agree that should the ESCO installed equipment not perform as
outlined in Section X.B.1, the ESCO shall pay the equivalent value of the guaranteed level of
the calculated energy savings associated with the failed area. The Owner agrees to notify
the ESCO by telephone within two working days of detecting any non-performing ESCO
installed equipment with a follow-up in writing within three business days; refer to Section
1.C for contact information.
3. The ESCO shall have up to four (4) weeks from notification to repair the ESCO equipment
without reduction of savings.
4. Modifications to Baseline by Owner: The Owner shall maintain all existing facilities and
installed equipment during the term of this contract at or above current maintenance levels.
Owner agrees to maintain the energy efficiency of the systems installed.
5. The energy savings calculations are based upon the plant current average operating loads of
4.8 MGD of influent flow and 524 dry lbs. per hr. of solids loading, which includes
screenings. If the future plant operating loads deviate from this baseline it could have an
impact on actual energy savings.
XI. FINANCING
Project financing will be provided by the Owner.
XII. ENERGY SAVINGS GUARANTEE
The ESCO guarantees that the equipment will perform as indicated in Section X - Method of
Calculating Energy Savings & Energy Cost Savings. This performance level is guaranteed for 1
year following the notice of commencement of savings (defined as Year 1), or for the duration of
the monitoring and verification services, whichever is shorter. Based on this performance, and
as indicated in Exhibit 1, electrical savings will not be less than 71,736 kWh per year, oil savings
will not be less than 12,875 gallons per year. This corresponds with 90% of the estimated energy
savings.
Natural gas increases due to fuel switch from oil to gas: increased gas consumption will not be
more than 4,576 therms per year. This corresponds with 110% of the estimated energy
increase.]
