RFP/Bidding

The Request for Proposals seeks to select two types of vendors to serve customers from January 1, 2027 –  December 31, 2030:

  1. Turnkey Vendors, who will perform energy assessments, advise the customer and Sponsors of findings, propose solutions, install energy efficiency measures, and handle data reporting and warranty service.
  2. Customer Directed Option (CDO) Vendors, who will assist customers and independent contractors who wish to access energy efficiency incentives directly, without going through the Turnkey pathway.
