Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 06-07/08
Scope of Services
Pursuant to Florida Statute 489.145, the City may enter into a guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) with a state-licensed Energy Services Company (ESCo) to significantly reduce energy and/or operating energy and utility costs of a City facility through one or more energy conservation measures. A state-licensed ESCo must be selected in compliance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, known as the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). The state-licensed ESCo will provide, and not be limited to, a detailed energy audit assessing all City properties and alternative sources; a listing of energy conservation measures addressing the detailed energy audit findings in addition to their implementation feasibility; guarantees of scheduled costs and savings to the City; a financing program to fund the proposed conservation measures and to maximize the City’s potential energy savings; and identify and quantify all available rebates and incentive programs offered by area utilities. Upon completing these tasks, the City would then review the ESCo’s report without future financial commitment and recommend steps for further implementation.
