RFQ Energy Savings.pdf

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Jesup, Georgia, for Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) to design and implement a Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contract across various city facilities in accordance with the Georgia Code Annotated (OCGA Title 50, Chapter 37) and other applicable Georgia legislation. The RFQ requires the selected ESCO to conduct an investment-grade audit and identify, engineer, design, install, maintain, and provide financing options for approved energy conservation measures. The project scope encompasses multiple city facilities, with the selected firm responsible for delivering guaranteed energy savings, operational cost reductions, maintenance cost avoidance, capital cost avoidance, and identification of new revenue sources. The RFQ process includes an evaluation of qualifications followed by selection of the most qualified firm to proceed with implementation of energy efficiency improvements.

The contract will operate under a fixed-cost scenario with the ESCO providing comprehensive financing options for approved energy conservation measures. The primary objective is to enable the City of Jesup to improve its facilities while achieving measurable savings guarantees and avoiding future operational and capital expenditures. The selected ESCO will be responsible for all aspects of project delivery, including design, engineering, installation, maintenance, and financing arrangements, with savings performance guarantees structured to benefit the municipality while minimizing upfront capital requirements.
