Specific deliverables include identifying potential energy projects, programs, incentives, and energy conservation measures for OMD facilities. Proposers must demonstrate technical capability, fiscal stability through financial statements, and meet administrative and technical proposal requirements. The RFP was posted on September 3, 2024, with proposals due by September 16, 2024 at 10:00 am, with an anticipated contract start in October 2024 for an initial two-year term. Evaluation criteria include the quality of technical approach, proposer qualifications, and ability to meet the detailed audit requirements specified in the RFP. Bidders must acknowledge the addendum and ensure compliance with all specified ASHRAE Level II energy survey standards.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Ten firms submitted proposals, including San Timoteo Energy Associates, R&W Engineering Inc., Bureau Veritas, Stell Environmental Enterprises Inc., Dena Energy Inc., and MacDonald Miller. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates Stell Environmental Enterprises, Inc. as the apparent successful proposer with a contract value of $112,877.70.
