Subject: Celebration of Unity for Town of Reading - March 13
March 9, 2009
Dear Board of Selectmen:
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading will host a Celebration of Unity for the Town of Reading
from 6:15-6:45 PM on Friday, March 13th. The Unitarian Universalist Church is located at 239
Woburn Street in Reading (01867).
As you may be aware, Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka Kansas will be
protesting at the Reading Memorial High School's Production of "The Laramie Project" this Friday,
March 13.
This service of celebration will serve as a peaceful alternative to any protest that may occur. Reading
clergy members will offer a vision of love, peace and understanding in this short service with music,
readings, and reflections. We extend this invitation to you to join us as a demonstration of support for
both the residents of Reading and as a celebration of the youth at Reading Memorial High School.
The Celebration of Unity is another way to send the message that there is no place for hate in this town.
If you are planning on attending the Celebration of Unity, we'd like to acknowledge your presence
during the service. Please let us know if you intend to be present, so we can announce your name.
RSVP to Rosemary Fiori, Office Administrator, at uucr@uureading.org or call Rosemary at 781-944-
0494.
After the Celebration of Unity ends at 6:45 pm, we are encouraging folks to head over to Reading
Memorial High School to attend the play that evening.
Sincerely,
Rev. Tim Kutzmark
Minister
Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading
"May the long time sun shine upon you,

And the pure light within you
Guide your way on."

Thanks for the opportunity to send in questions for Brad to ask of Jeff Simmons when they
meet. Hopefully consolidating the questions will make this very process simpler for all
involved. Here are the questions we have, to date.
• Will State staff be able to do their normal work while the State is gearing up to spend
stimulus money on State projects? For example, Reading submitted the 75% design for
our West Street project several months ago, and it has not yet been reviewed by MHD.
Will projects like that be stalled in limbo while MHD staff are working on getting MHD
projects out? If so, this seems to unfairly penalize local projects. An alternative would be
to fund projects like this directly to the Towns, and not involve the state - and therefore not
requiring State approval.
• The appearance is that State projects are being funded almost to the exclusion of local
projects. Is this the case? Have projects been objectively reviewed - if so it would appear
that the State is the only agency that can get projects shovel ready, bid, and creating jobs
in a transparent manner. Hopefully this is not the case although most of the projects that
been publicized seem to be state projects.
• Is the SRF going to be modified to meet the federal standard such that a percentage of
each project or a percentage of the total projects will be done with grants, rather than only
loans?
• What is the timeline for each of the funds?
• How much of the Fed money will be used to balance the state budget?
• Will the DESE be the department ready to answer all questions regarding the education
money from the ARRA?
• Will the state decrease the circuit breaker money once the districts receive the addition
IDEA money?
I have not heard from all departments, but this is the list I have to date. I may have some
additional comments to submit tomorrow, but this should be a good part of the list.
As to communication, it is probably easier for you to funnel all communication through me and
I can then distribute it to our list. If you'd rather do it directly I'll have our Office Manager start
to work on an email list.
Thanks for all that Representative Jones is dong on this matter, and thank you to all the staff
also.

I'd like to just clarify on the email that Mike just sent out to you regarding the stimulus plan and why we
are looking for this information.
Rep. Jones and I have received a growing list of questions from various town officials/committee
members regarding this plan. As you know, it is a very long and complicated plan in which the state'is
expected to receive billions of dollars. However, with that, the state is still in the very beginning stages
of understanding this complicated legislation, and the regulations and rules that go along with it.
In the anticipation of learning more information Rep. Jones will be meeting next week with the Director
of Infrastructure Investment, who is Governor Patrick's "right hand man" to the stimulus plan.
If you, or anyone else in the town, have any questions you still have please feel free to email me a list of
questions. After the meeting is finished I will then send out the questions and corresponding answers to
the whole group of and I can provide the responses next week to everyone I have on the distribution list.
And speaking of distribution lists---As we all know email is the easiest ways to communicate these
days. I'm hoping to receive from the request below an updated list of town officials and committee
members emails along with other information so as soon as we receive information I can make sure
everyone receives everything we can get to them.
In conclusion, please:
1. Send me an email with questions you have about the stimulus plan by Monday
2. Forward the below email to every official or committee member in your town. We'd like to
everyone's questions and we don't have everyone's email!
Thanks for your patience.

Subject: BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS FOR THE I-93/1-95 RFR
Bob,
I checked the Brief Scope for the Request for Response (RFR) and also did a quick look at the RFR and
noticed that apparently there are at least two missing documents that should be made available to
potential responders to the RFR. These documents are:
1. Memorandum from the Reading Board of Selectmen entitled, Town of Reading Position on Interstate
Routes 95 and 93 Interchange Improvements, sent to Bernard Cohen, Secretary of Transportation, May
16, 2007.
2. Letter from the Town of Reading Conservation Commission, addressed to Secretary Ian Bowles,
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, October 9, 2007.
The first document provides a thoughtful list of recommendations, such as transit and transportation
demand management improvements, and highway component suggestions. This document notes that,
"The Town does not endorse either of the alternative plans because they do not meet the goals of the
study. Specifically, these alternatives do not eliminate all property takings, do not minimize noise
impacts and do not minimize visual impacts on properties in Reading." Cleary, these issues were not
resolved by the feasibility study and require further work before pushing on to that 25 percent design
phase.
3/9/2009

Page 2 of 2
The second document points out that "MassGIS maps used in the ENF to identify wetlands do not depict
all of the wetlands known to exist in Reading, nor presumably in the other towns where work is
proposed." Additional issues are raised on environmental impacts related to noise barriers, guardrails,
drainage systems, pumping ground water and surface water where depressed roadways are proposed.
Storm water recommendations are discussed.
I suspect other review documents were written by public officials (e.g., Representative Brad Jones).
My apologies if you referenced these documents in a publicly accessible source and I simply overlooked
them. These documents represent important statements from public officials, who participated in 45
Task Force.meetings over a four year period and, therefore, ought to made available to potential
responders to the RFR and the public in the interest of transparency.
I also checked your email distribution and did not notice the inclusion of Francis Fink of the Reading
Conservation Commission. Her email address is ffink@ci.reading.ma.us

Thanks for the email. We appreciate the assistance of Congressman Tierney and his entire staff in helping Cities
and Towns navigate this very complex process of accessing ARRA funds. The potential positive impact of this
program is great for the nation and its economy, and for local governments. Of course, the potential for the
program not completely meeting its goals is also great, and that is why we appreciate your direct involvement.
You will find that Reading has a well earned reputation for spending money wisely, completing work in a timely
and cost effective manner, and running our local government operations transparently - all very important aspects
to the success of the ARRA program.
In response to your request, the following is the list of the top 3 ranked projects fro the Town of Reading, along
with the requested information about each. In addition, I am copying you on the complete submittal for each of
these projects that was submitted to the Lt. Governors office.

Dear Manager Hechenbleikner,
Thank you for taking the time to attend last Friday's briefing on the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA). I hope you found the session helpful as you prepare your municipal budget
and examine opportunities for pursuing ARRA funds. Assistance under the Act will flow by formula
through existing federal programs, the state fiscal stabilization account, and by competitive grant
programs.
In advocating for direct local access to funds and maximum flexibility, Congress used existing formulas
and competitive grant processes where feasible. Of course, that non-education portion of the
stabilization fund left to the Governors' discretion (about 18%) will require local/state cooperation as
governors attempt to fairly disburse funds. Similarly, any remaining allocations to states, and a number

of infrastructure items which traditionally use federal funds but are administered through state auspices,
will continue to be allocated to regions or communities by and through the state. That is why I was so
pleased that Governor Patrick's made his representative available for last week's meeting.
As Governor Patrick's Director of Infrastructure Investment, Jeff Simon, noted, the Commonwealth
expects to receive an estimated $2 billion in infrastructure funding under the ARRA. As Mr. Simon
stated, the Commonwealth will evaluate projects under consideration for discretionary funding, in part,
on the basis of the following criteria:
(1) "Shovel-readiness" - The project has completed the design-phase and all permits and required
authorizations have been obtained so that it can get out on the street quickly;
(2) Tangible Job Benefits - The project has the ability to jump-start the economic cycle and create
sustainable long-term jobs;.
(3) Transparency - The project features an honest commitment to efficiency and its progress can be
tracked and monitored online; and
(4) Regional Diversity.
In January, Lt. Governor Murray's Municipal Task Force received project lists from communities from
across the Commonwealth, many of which were copied to my office. A number of meeting attendees,
while recognizing that the Commonwealth would be determining allocations of those funds, nonetheless
suggested that I might have some opportunity for advocacy on your behalf with our state partners. If
such an opportunity were to in fact arise, it would be helpful to know of your top 3 priorities.
Additionally, given the uncertainty of the amount of available funds, you may wish to give consideration
to projects that fall into the high, medium, and low cost ranges. Finally, I would ask that you bring to
my attention any energy projects that include a "green jobs" or workforce investment component that
have a potential regional, statewide or national reach. As always, I will seek occasion to be helpful to
communities and having this information on hand would be beneficial.
I would ask that you provide the essential details of your priority projects, including the name and type
of the project (e.g. transportation, water infrastructure, energy, school modernization), requested funding
amount, funds such project has received, or could be combined with, from any other source (including
the municipality), and a brief description of the project detailing how it conforms to the state criteria
enumerated above. Please return your project list to Michael Ferrari (Michael.Ferrari(_ mail.house.aov)
in my Washington, DC office by COB on Fridav. March 13. 2009.
Finally, I look forwarding to being back in touch with you as my office works to organize a grants
workshop in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your assistance in this effort.
Sincerely,
John F. Tierney

Project Title
Energy Conservation and Municipal Infrastructure Improvement through Energy Savings Performance
Contracting
I Project Description
The proposed Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) project provides distinct benefits to the Town of
Reading and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to the established funding priorities. These
include:
• Energy efficiency (reduction in reliance on foreign fossil fuel supplies);
• Infrastructure renewal;
• Environmental stewardship (reduction of carbon emissions); and
• Economic growth and development (creating jobs and preventing municipal and school layoffs).
Using the ESPC methods established under MGL Chapter 25A, Section 11 i, the Town of Reading has recently
completed a Request for Qualifications process to engage an Energy Services Company (ESCO) to perform an
Investment Grade Audit (IGA) of fifteen municipal facilities (eight school buildings and seven municipal
buildings) and intends to then enter into an Energy Services Agreement (ESA) to implement energy efficiency
upgrades, renewable energy technologies, demand management solutions and energy infrastructure renewal in
most, if not all, of its municipal and school buildings. The project has been approved and endorsed by all
necessary governing bodies of the Town including the Reading School Committee and nearly unanimous
support of Town Meeting in November of 2008 (copies of certified votes attached).
In response to our solicitation, the Town received responses from seven of the leading national ESCO's and has
selected NORESCO, based in Westborough, Massachusetts as the firm with whom it intends to partner in the
project. The terms of the IGA Agreement are anticipated to be finalized and the Agreement executed on or
about January 26, 2009 with the IGA expected to commence on or about February 1, 2009. The anticipated
completion date of the IGA is mid- to late-April, 2009. Once the IGA is complete, the Town will select a
comprehensive package of projects to be implemented. Noresco has identified a preliminary list of energy
efficiency improvements, infrastructure renewal strategies and renewable energy technologies viable for the
Town buildings including:
• Energy efficient lighting retrofits and lighting conservation measures (occupancy sensors, lighting
management controls, daylighting strategies, etc.)
• Replacement and upgrade of energy management controls and installation of demand-ventilation
controls
• Replacement and upgrade of mechanical equipment (boilers, air handler units, unit ventilators,
compressors, chillers, etc.)
• Replacement and upgrade of fans and motors
• Building envelope improvements (improved insulation, window replacement, roof replacement, etc.)
• Installation of water saving devices
• Solar photovoltaic
Noresco will, through the comprehensive IGA, identify and present to the Town a proposed scope of work to
include any and all potential energy and water saving projects that could be implemented by the Town.
10
Typically, the scope of work resulting from the IGA is at the 30 to 50% design stage. The Town will select the
projects that yield the highest economic value during the month of May so that the ESCO may proceed with
ordering equipment, hiring sub-contractors, and initiate project mobilization stages to allow for a June 1, 2009
construction start date.
The Town fully intends to include locally-based alternative energy generation (most likely geothermal or solar)
as part of this project. The Town would utilize the resources provided under the Green Communities Act and
would aggressively pursue technologies manufactured by Massachusetts-based firms.
Based on Noresco's preliminary benchmarking assessment of the Town's facilities, the Town anticipates
implementing a comprehensive energy and infrastructure renewal project valued in the range of $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000 depending upon the payback period for the selected ECM's and the length of time for which the
Town is comfortable financing the project. The comprehensiveness of the project will be impacted by the level
of external funding the Town is able to secure. Such potential sources, other than the stimulus funds being
contemplated herein, include:
• Massachusetts Technology Collaborative Funding (particularly for solar or geothermal projects)
• Funding available through the MA DOER Green Communities Act
• Reading Municipal Light Department
• National Grid
• Emission Reduction / Renewable Energy credits
• Demand Response
• Private investment in renewable assets on public property owned by Reading
• Private grant funding
**Please note in the description whether or not this project is being considered for state or federal funds outside
of the potential federal stimulus. If so, please provide the program or agency you've applied to.
Cost
$3,000,000 - $5,000,000
The exact scope of the project will dictate the final cost and the scope selection will depend upon available
external funding, financing terms available at the time of borrowing, and length of time for which the Town is
comfortable financing. The Town will solicit public and private funding (discussed above), however, it does
anticipate borrowing for a portion of the project cost as well.
Will the requested federal funding be leveraged with any other public or private funding?
If yes, please explain:
Under a traditional ESPC, the Town would be limited in its ability to invest in energy infrastructure and
renewable energy projects as the investment potential will be strictly tied to the energy savings potential. The
requested funding would be leveraged with the potential energy savings to enable the Town to maximize its
investment in energy infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
Project Schedule
Expected start date: June 1, 2009
Expected date of completion: December 31, 2010
Has the project been 100% designed? No
If no, when will design be complete? Using the Performance Contracting methods established under MGL
Chapter 25A, Section 111, the design will be at approximately 30-50% at the time of construction. Construction
will proceed using a design-build process.
Has the municipality authorized the funding for the project? Town Meeting authorized the Town to borrow an
amount up to $120,000 to fund the initial IGA process and use of consultants to assist with contract
negotiations. Further Town Meeting approvals will be required and will be sought during Annual Town Meeting
in April to the extent the Town wishes to finance the project through debt authorization.
Is the project fully permitted? Not at this stage.
If no, when will it be fully permitted? Permitting will occur during the mobilization of the subcontractors in June
2009.
Is project intended as a design/build or is it sufficiently permitted to allow work to start? It is intended as
design/build.
Has the project gone out to bid? Yes. In accordance with MGL Chapter 25A, Section 11 i, the Town issued its
solicitation, conducted a rigorous review and evaluation process and selected Noresco to provide
comprehensive energy management services.
If no, when do you anticipate the project going out to bid? See above.
Have you awarded a contract to begin work? See above.
If no, when will you award? See above.
Economic Impact
How manyjobs will be produced with this project? Please specify construction jobs as well as permanent jobs.
A preference for.local sub-contractors will be specified as part of the terms of the construction agreement. The
following local trades are anticipated as necessary for project work:
Electrical
Mechanical (HVAC)
Plumbing
Energy management controls
Carpentry
Sheet-metal
Insulation
Window replacement/glazing
Roofing
Weatherization specialist
Water conservation specialists
Specialty engineering/design consultants
Renewable energy specialists
Given that the project scope will likely include work on fifteen municipal and school buildings representing
almost one million square feet of building space and a construction time frame of 18-24 months, it is estimated
that this project will result in the employment of over 200 individuals.
Will your municipality be able to fully fund the operations of the new or updated facility with local government
operating funds?
Based on preliminary estimates, this project is likely to reduce energy consumption, and thereby expenditures,
by 20%-25% potentially. The facility improvements would allow for substantial moderation of anticipated
increases to the facilities' operating budget, thereby enhancing the town's ability to fund the operation of its
facilities while freeing up resources for other critical municipal needs such as critical public safety and teaching
positions.
