New Posting Date.docx

The document is a Notice of Revised Award Posting Date from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) for Solicitation #5400027952, involving a Non-Equipment Based Energy Conservation (NEBEC) Program Consultant contract. The solicitation seeks comprehensive energy management services for 54 buildings totaling 5,802,277 gross square feet, with an annual energy consumption of 217,514,552 kWh of electricity and 5,977,281 CCF of natural gas. Electronic proposals are due March 5, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET, with a non-mandatory virtual pre-proposal conference scheduled for February 13, 2024, at 10:00 AM ET. The contract will be a two-year term with three potential one-year renewal options, running from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, and will be awarded to a single offeror based on technical proposal, experience/qualifications, and business proposal evaluations.

The project requires vendors to provide in-person and online energy auditing, measurement and verification, real-time reporting, and forecasting services across diverse facilities including healthcare buildings like Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital and University Hospital, and academic spaces such as the Basic Science Building and Hollings Cancer Center. Key personnel must include a Client Manager and Utilities Engineer with specific certifications like CMVP, CIAQP, CEM, and BESA. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, vendors must submit minority participation information. Pricing will be submitted as an annual fixed fee, and the current annual energy expenditure of $24.7 million suggests a substantial potential contract value for the selected energy conservation consultant who can demonstrate expertise in comprehensive energy management strategies for complex, multi-building institutional environments.
