State approves energy-saving contract for Riverbend Maximum Security modernization
Summary
The commission approved the Tennessee Department of Correction's request to use an energy-saving performance contract with contractor Naresco to modernize HVAC and mechanical systems at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, constructed in 1988, to address decades of deferred maintenance.
Assistant Commissioner Bobby Strata asked the commission to approve an energy-saving performance contract delivery method for modernization work at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville.
"This energy saving performance contract project for our Riverbend Maximum Security Institution campus here in Nashville was constructed in 1988. RMSI continues to operate with much of its original HVAC and mechanical infrastructure... This represents a significant step forward... that will modernize the facility infrastructure, eliminate a significant portion of deferred maintenance, and transition operations from reactive to proactive," Strata said. He identified Naresco as the energy services contractor partner for the proposal.
A motion to approve the project under the energy-saving performance contract delivery method was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote. The transcript records the commission’s adoption with no opposing votes noted.
