Exhibit A - Statement of Work
I. Geothermal Energy Grant Program Description
The Geothermal Energy Grant Program (GEGP) is authorized by House Bill 22-1381 to
create grants that support the use of low- or zero-emission, geothermal energy for
electricitygeneration and space/water heatingand coolingin homes, businesses, and
communities. There are three sub-grants offered under GEGP: the single-structure
geothermal grant, the community district heating/thermal energy network grant, and
the geothermal electricity generation grant.
As part of GEGP, the CEO requested an initial round of grant applications for the
implementation of the following project types:
• Single-Structure Geothermal, which is intended for the installation of
geothermal loop systems or ground-source heat pumps within groups of non-
networked individual single-family residential buildings, individual multifamily
residential buildings, or individual nonresidential buildings.
• Community District Heating/Thermal Energy Network, which is intended for
projects constructing ground-source, water-source, or multi-source thermal
systems that serve more than one building.
• Geothermal Electricity Generation, which supports the development of
geothermal electricity generation projects. Eligible studies and projects for
this grant fit into three separate phases: studies to identify and explore
resources, drilling and testing studies, and project generation site
development.
This project award is for the Community District/Thermal Energy Network Phase 3 -
Installation Request for Application released on November 14, 2023.

COLORADO
Energy Office
Project Period: Agreement Effective Date to August 31, 2026
Project Overview:
• The Grantee will construct a geoexchange system to replace the existing gas
boiler system at the Eagle County government complex, a 75,657-square-
foot campus encompassing five structures, including the county's Public
Health, Human Services, and Emergency Management departments. This
geothermal network has the potential for future expansion to serve the
broader community, aligning with the county's strategic priorities and
climate commitments through enhanced energy efficiency, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, onsite renewable energy, and energy storage.
Project Objectives:
• The project aims to enhance the sustainabitity and resilience of local
government buildings by increasing energy efficiency, utilizing on-site
renewable energy, and providing energy storage to bolster grid resilience.
• In alignment with Eagle County's Climate Action Plan, the project will
contribute to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,
decreasing emissions by approximately 139 metric tons annually.
Project Team:
• Jesse Meryhew (Eagle County - Facilities Management Director) will lead
the project as the Project Manager. With over a decade of experience in
HVAC and project management, Jesse recently completed HeatSpring's
Entry-Level Geothermal Professional certification.
• Ben Hawf (Eagle County - Energy Efficiency Project Manager) will support
all project installation requirements and provide quality assurance. As a
Colorado Class D Water Operator, Ben brings extensive project management
experience to project operations.
• Ron Siebert (Eagle County - Facilities Planner) will oversee contracts,
administration, and project operations.
• Tony Haschke (SGM - Senior Engineer of Energy & Mechanical Systems) is
the project designer. With over 38 years of experience in HVAC
maintenance, troubleshooting, and training, Tony has designed and
commissioned numerous electrification projects, including geothermal
systems.

geothermal design and installation experience. As a member and trainer for
various professional societies and trade organizations, including the
International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA) and the
Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO), Terry brings a wealth of
geothermal system expertise to the project.
