Title

Authorizing the sole source purchase of services from Leonardo Academy to assist Monona Terrace in renewing the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) certification.  This will involve collaborating with Monona Terrace in completing all necessary actions to implement and recertify Monona Terrace as a LEED certified facility.

Body

Monona Terrace works hand-in-hand with the City of Madison as an involved supporter of sustainable efforts and environmentally-responsible operations. Monona Terrace is the first convention center to receive silver level certification under the U.S. Green Building Council´s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED - EB) rating system. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.

Monona Terrace was certified as a LEED building in 2007 and is required to recertify every five years.

WHEREAS, the Monona Terrace 2012 Capital Budget has funding to cover this cost; and

WHEREAS, Leonardo Academy is the recognized leader in both LEED O&M certification projects and the expectations of the United State Green Building Council (USGBC); and

WHEREAS, Monona Terrace has achieved significant national recognition for becoming LEED certified; and

WHEREAS, Monona Terrace has achieved significant cost savings due to the implementation of LEED principles; and

WHEREAS, Monona Terrace is recognized nationally for its sustainability efforts within the Convention Center industry; and

WHEREAS, Monona Terrace has hosted many conferences and conventions for organizations that are environmentally sensitive; and

WHEREAS, Monona Terrace's LEED-EB certification has provided a significant return on investment.  It has been a positive factor in the decision for at least 19 conventions and conferences to book at Monona Terrace from 2007 through 2013.  These events represent more than $11,400,000 in economic impact through their spending in our community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council hereby authorizes the sole source purchase of services from Leonardo Academy for the purposes of assisting in the LEED-EB recertification of Monona Terrace at a cost not to exceed $50,000.
