GEFA Prequalification of Energy Service Providers

The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) is conducting an ongoing open call for Statements of Qualification (SOQs) from Energy Service Providers (ESPs) capable of developing, implementing, and installing Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for State Agencies in Georgia. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is intended to identify responsible ESPs that meet or exceed the specified requirements and to place them on a prequalified list. ESPs can submit their qualifications at any time during the Prequalification Period from February 26, 2024 to February 26, 2027. GEFA will review the submissions and update the Prequalification List monthly, with any added ESPs remaining on the list through the end of the three-year term. GEFA may remove an ESP from the list at any time if they no longer meet the criteria, and may also add new ESPs on an ongoing basis. The evaluation criteria include financial stability, experience and track record, project management capabilities, and technical approach. ESPs must also certify that they meet certain minimum requirements, such as not being ineligible, debarred or in default on any past projects, and having the necessary bonding capacity, insurance coverage, and licenses.

This RFQ is open to all qualified ESPs, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contract does not list any incumbent vendors or contractors, and there is no information provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not specify a budget range or award value, but successful ESPs may then be selected by State Agencies to participate in the Request for Proposals (RFP) process for specific GESPC projects.
