On-Call Sustainability Services

The City of Charlotte is seeking qualified companies to provide on-call sustainability services for its Strategic Energy Action Plan Plus (SEAP+) program through a competitive procurement process. The solicitation, designated as Project 269-2026-121, covers comprehensive sustainability services across four primary focus areas: Buildings, Energy Generation, Transportation, and Cross-Sectional strategies. Qualified vendors will be responsible for program management and implementation through task-order based contracts, with additional scope including general sustainability consulting and workforce development services. The procurement will be conducted exclusively through the City of Charlotte's Bonfire electronic procurement portal, with all interested vendors required to register at https://charlottenc.bonfirehub.com/login. Vendors must submit their proposals electronically by November 20, 2025, and are strongly advised to allow sufficient time for document upload, particularly for large files. Technical submission requirements include using compatible web browsers (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) with JavaScript and browser cookies enabled. Vendors can submit questions through the portal's Vendor Discussions section and can access technical support via Bonfire's help resources.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be open to a broad range of qualified consulting firms with expertise in sustainability program management. Potential respondents should demonstrate comprehensive capabilities across the four identified focus areas and have proven experience in developing and implementing strategic energy and sustainability initiatives. The contract will be structured as an on-call, task-order arrangement, suggesting multiple vendors might be selected to provide services as needed. Although specific budget ranges are not provided, the multi-faceted nature of the services and the strategic importance of the SEAP+ program indicate a potentially significant contract value. Vendors will likely need to showcase their technical expertise, previous project successes, and ability to support the City of Charlotte's sustainability objectives through innovative and practical solutions. Technical support for the procurement process is available through Bonfire's help forum, email at Support@GoBonfire.com, or by telephone at 1-800-354-8010, with additional vendor registration and submission guidance available through a five-minute training video on their support website.
