TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. — Johnson Controls Government Systems LLC announced that it has been awarded a contract for the third phase of a comprehensive energy and facility system upgrade at the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTFTC) located here. Valued at approximately $51 million, the company says it is one of the largest energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) ever awarded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts office, which administers ESPCs for Navy and Marine Corps facilities. An ESPC allows a federal government agency to fund improvements from energy-related operating savings using performance guarantees.
It is estimated that the total program will save the base about $6.9 million each year over the contract’s 20-year term, for a total savings of $138 million. This phase will include construction and maintenance of three chiller plants, a photovoltaic plant, solar daylighting, and an energy management system.
