FY18-KGO DOEE - D. C. Sustainable Energy Utility Evaluation, Measurment, and Verification (DCSEU EM&V) Audit

The District of Columbia's Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) is soliciting proposals for a Sustainable Energy Utility Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification (DCSEU EM&V) Audit for Fiscal Year 2018. This procurement opportunity specifically seeks a comprehensive audit and evaluation of the District's Sustainable Energy Utility program, with the primary objective of assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of energy conservation and sustainability initiatives. Potential contractors must demonstrate expertise in energy program evaluation, data analysis, measurement methodologies, and verification techniques specific to urban sustainable energy programs. The solicitation requires detailed documentation, rigorous analytical processes, and comprehensive reporting on the program's performance metrics. The proposal was posted on August 18, 2017, with a firm submission deadline of September 27, 2017, providing potential bidders approximately 40 days to prepare and submit their comprehensive proposal package.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the complex nature of the audit suggests that qualified energy consulting firms, research institutions, and specialized evaluation contractors would be most suitable for this engagement. The contract appears focused on a technical, data-driven assessment of the District's sustainable energy utility performance, which likely requires specialized knowledge and demonstrated experience in energy program evaluation. Although specific budget ranges are not provided, similar municipal energy utility evaluation contracts typically range from $150,000 to $500,000 depending on scope and complexity. The audit will presumably integrate with existing District of Columbia energy infrastructure and data management systems, requiring contractors to have sophisticated analytical capabilities and familiarity with urban energy conservation program frameworks. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate previous experience with similar municipal or state-level sustainable energy program evaluations.
