Specifications include, but are not limited to: ECO and DPW are requesting Proposals from responsible firms or teams to provide Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracting Services through a “performance-based contract” for energy-saving improvements in city buildings, facilities, and infrastructure. This contract shall be consistent with the requirements of Wisconsin Statute 66.0133. The intent is to use the Master Energy Plan Comprehensive Study Report and Implementation Roadmap completed for City of Milwaukee buildings in 2019, along with city buildings’ energy use data as tracked in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager as a guide, and then perform an Investment Grade Audit of mutually agreed-upon City of Milwaukee buildings, facilities, and infrastructure to identify and then to ultimately implement a full range of energy efficiency improvements, energy services, energy generation and water-related improvements and related programs (hereinafter “Project”). The ECO and DPW are seeking to partner with an entity that is qualified to provide holistic, turn-key energy and water savings and renewable energy improvements that further advance the City of Milwaukee’s energy reduction and renewable energy goals listed above such that annual cost savings exceed annual payments for the improvements. ECO and DPW anticipate working with a single firm through four stages of project activity: 7 Preparation of technical energy and water resources audit and identification of potential efficiency and renewable energy generation projects; Project development (engineering assessment, design, project budget, financial options for viable projects, workshop(s) to City of Milwaukee leadership for selection of projects and financing instruments); Project implementation (bid, construction, commissioning, and training); Measurement and Verification of energy and utility cost savings.
