Specifications include, but are not limited to: Anticipated tasks to achieve the scope of work may include the following: Phase 1: Phase 1 scope of work will be funded by ACRPC. Due to the nature of the MERP program and the timeline, respondents are encouraged to identify reasonable reductions in the desired scope of work outlined below: A. Project Kickoff Meeting - Meet with ACRPC and the Town(s) to develop a clear understanding of the project goals, objectives, timelines and deliverables. This may be a strict energy retrofit or include additional concerns such as historic building requirements, ventilation and accessibility upgrades, necessary structural improvements, and space/program upgrades. B. Digest the Energy Assessments provided by the MERP program. Provide town with initial prioritization of recommendations and suggested course of action. C. Perform a building inspection as needed to produce a field report on the building(s). a. Utilize any available structural, toxic materials, or accessibility assessments provided by the town or RPC to reduce time required for initial on-site evaluation of the building and project. D. Provide guidance on what permits will be required to complete the recommended scope of work. E. Generate as-builts of the existing structures unless already available. F. Generate conceptual drawings and specifications for the initial MERP Implementation Grant application. G. Provide rough cost estimates for the energy retrofit, accessibility, and ventilation components of the project for the initial MERP Implementation Grant application. a. Cost estimates should include a line item for the further development of the project as described in phase 2 below.
