To establish a pool of qualified vendors (e.g., consultants, technical professionals, engineers, etc.) to provide the Green Bank with diverse technical, energy, environmental, and financial services on an ongoing basis and possibly on short notice (with exceptions, the Green Bank defines “short notice” as three to six months). The Green Bank seeks these qualified vendors to support its efforts to stimulate the growth and development of clean energy and environmental infrastructure investment in Connecticut - growing the state’s economy, strengthening its communities, and protecting the environment. The selected firms may be invited to support any new or existing Green Bank program to provide technical services as needed.
