Energy Efficiency Design Project

Roseburg School District is requesting proposals for mechanical, electrical, and limited structural engineering services to design energy conservation measures at Joseph Lane Middle School and Eastwood Elementary School, with proposals due August 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PT and interviews scheduled for August 20–21, 2026.

The scope is engineering design and pre-construction support only, based on energy conservation measures identified through prior ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Audits. Construction and implementation are anticipated in a future phase pending separate approval and funding. The two facilities are located in Roseburg, Oregon: Joseph Lane Middle School at 2153 NE Vine Street and Eastwood Elementary at 2550 SE Waldon Avenue. The District has received funding through the Renew America's Schools Program administered by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Compensation is based on hourly billing rates for assigned personnel, plus reimbursable expenses limited to actual costs incurred in the project's interest. Proposers must submit a good faith not-to-exceed estimate of fees broken out by project component on a provided form. The selected consultant must carry Professional Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $2 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, along with Commercial General Liability and Workers' Compensation coverage.

Evaluation criteria weight recent experience designing education facility renovations at 40 points, sub-consultant and key personnel qualifications at 10 points, past performance and references at 20 points, availability and familiarity with the project area at 15 points, proposed cost of services at 10 points, and cost management techniques at 5 points. An engineer is expected to be selected by August 25, 2026, with notice of intent to award issued August 27 and contract entry by September 3. Clarification questions are due August 4, 2026. Proposals must include three printed and bound copies plus one digital copy on USB drive, not to exceed twenty single-sided pages.
