Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes a non-competitive contract with Sustain Dane, Inc. for $235,000 to implement the Growing the Efficiency Navigator Program funded by a grant from the U.S. DOE’s Energy Future grant program. In June of 2024, the Common Council adopted RES-24-00404 amending the 2024 Mayor’s Office Sustainability Improvements capital project budget to accept the grant award of $500,000 and authorized a non-competitive contract with Sustain Dane, Inc. for $125,000 to provide services for the program. The final award negotiations with U.S. DOE adjusted the award budget to align with federal grant requirements and the award timeline and resulted in sub-award amount of $235,000 to Sustain Dane to carry out their role in the project. This resolution authorizes the increase in the non-competitive contract to Sustain Dane. No appropriation is required.
