The South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS) is issuing this Request for Proposals for a certified Quality Control Inspector (QCI) to conduct Weatherization Technical Monitoring following the Department of Energy and State of South Dakota policy and procedures. A QCI is a residential energy efficiency expert who reviews, inspects, and verifies the appropriateness, quality, and completion of energy retrofit work by conducting site visits, performing diagnostic testing, and evaluating work practices and documentation to improve the indoor environment, safety, durability, comfort, and energy efficiency of the building for the client. The Department of Social Services Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) has a network of four Community Action Agencies (CAA) located throughout the State of South Dakota to weatherize eligible housing. Each agency has staff who perform energy audits for each dwelling unit to be weatherized, enter audit information, and perform approved energy conservation measures. Each CAA has at least one certified Quality Control Inspector, who inspects 100% of the units before reporting them as completed to DSS.
