Notice of Intent to Award - Cenergistic, LLC

Alpine School District (ASD) is pursuing a sole-source contract extension with Cenergistics, LLC for energy conservation consulting and building management services through a non-standard procurement process under Rule R33-108-101(c)(3). The contract will cover the period from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, which coincides with the district's planned dissolution into three separate districts. The procurement aims to maintain continuity of energy management services, preserve proprietary monitoring systems, and avoid disruptive vendor transitions during the district restructuring. The original procurement was initiated through an RFP (Request for Proposal) with solicitation number 04012017, and the current extension is justified by the need to ensure stability and allow future districts to independently determine their energy conservation service needs. Vendors must comply with specific requirements, including price guarantee periods, certification of non-engagement in economic boycotts, and potential background checks for accessing secure facilities.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the contract is directly targeted at Cenergistics, LLC as the sole-source provider. The estimated contract value is $1,200,000, covering a period of approximately 18 months. Vendors must meet several prerequisite qualifications, including the ability to provide equivalent products, potential product samples, and compliance with Utah state procurement regulations. The contract includes provisions for protecting confidential business information, mandatory minimum response requirements, and strict terms regarding intellectual property, conflict of interest, and performance expectations. Existing infrastructure involves proprietary tools and integrated monitoring systems already embedded in ASD's energy management program, which will be maintained through this contract extension to ensure continuity during the district's transitional period.
