Background: An element of the HRA approved 1988-89 Energy Conservation Program budget is an infrared (IR) video filming project. The purposes of the IR filming are to: (1) identify heat loss areas in individual homes on a city-wide basis; and (2) to promote Home Energy Checkup (HEC) audits and housedoctor weatherization services offered by the HRA. An initial pilot IR project was undertaken in 1987. At that time, with funding from a state grant, properties east of Bloomington Avenue were filmed at a cost of $500 by W.R.A.P. (W.R.A.P. is the only contractor that provides this type of service. During the project they performed satisfactorily. They also enjoy a good reputation with other communities). The pilot filming completed in 1987 was edited and marketed to 41 residents in 1988. Approximately 1,000 houses were filmed, and 77 households viewed video film of their home. The video showed front and side views in varying shades of black and white, a light tone indicated heat loss. Insulation voids, wall "hot spots", and window and door leaks were identified. Residents were then able to plan remedies which included 36 HEC audits and 4 Housedoctor grant services. The proposed agreement will require W.R.A.P. to: -provide approximately 54 hours of filming at the rate of $90/hour, not to exceed $4860. -film between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. when air temperature is below 32 degrees F. -provide color filming on VHS videocassette rather than black and white. -complete work by March 1, 1989. -meet standard insurance and liability requirements of the HRA. Recommended Motion: Authorize an agreement with W.R.A.P. to perform infrared filming services. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The project is part of the approved HRA budget and is a requirement of a grant received from the State Department of Public Service. 0 2. The filming is a useful promotional tool which encourages people to conserve energy. 3. W.R.A.P. is familiar with the Richfield IR project and enjoys a good reputation, and is the only company capable of performing this task. Alternative Recommendation: Do not approve the agreement with W.R.A.P. Decision/Discussion Mode: Delay could result in missing the coldest months of January and February which are ideal for filming.
