About this opportunity

The City of Madison is seeking a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive building decarbonization assessments and develop a strategic decarbonization plan for its municipal building portfolio. The procurement is a Request for Qualifications (RFQU) targeting services to assess 21 priority municipal buildings and create a roadmap for decarbonizing all 146 buildings that currently use natural gas. Required deliverables include detailed energy audits identifying retrofit opportunities such as electrification, energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and equipment upgrades, along with a portfolio-wide strategic plan phasing projects from 2026 through 2035. Proposing firms must demonstrate expertise in building decarbonization and submit detailed documentation including team organizational structure, prior relevant experience, project strategy, proposed budget with hourly rates, and three project references from government entities or large building portfolio organizations. The evaluation will heavily weight qualifications, with 95% of the scoring based on the submitted information and 5% allocated to local vendor preference. Key dates include a question submission deadline of January 26, 2026, proposal due date of February 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time, and anticipated vendor presentations in March 2026.

The City of Madison has implemented local preference purchasing policies and equity in contracting principles that prioritize minority and women-owned businesses. Contractors with 15 or more employees earning $50,000 or more annually from the City must submit an Affirmative Action Plan and participate in the RaISE employment referral program. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), professional liability ($1,000,000), workers' compensation, and automobile liability coverage ($1,000,000 combined single limit). The total project budget is $250,000, with an anticipated contract completion date of August 2025. All work product and intellectual property rights will transfer to the City upon project completion, and the contract will be governed by Wisconsin law with venue in Dane County. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate capability in managing complex decarbonization strategies across a municipal portfolio spanning 13 departments and approximately 4.5 million square feet, which currently accounts for roughly 52% of the city's municipal greenhouse gas emissions.
