GENERAL RESULTS DESIRED The County seeks a broad range of services and capital improvements in order to improve the energy and operational efficiency of County facilities, address critical infrastructure needs and enhance the health, safety, comfort and functional alignment of County facilities. These services and capital improvements will be provided through an Energy Services Agreement, which could include, but is not limited to, an Energy Services Contract or other applicable state procurement legislation. No contract shall exceed 20 years in duration and is subject to annual appropriations. The County is considering a combination of federal funding, grants, rebates, as well as other financing mechanisms. If federal funding is used to fund the proposed projects, in whole or in part, ESCO would be responsible for ensuring that all contractors and project elements meet all applicable state and federal codes, regulations and requirements necessary for federal funding opportunities available to the County. Additionally, County is open to additional opportunities, projects and/or phases of work that would improve facilities, operations and drive energy and operational efficiencies. REQUIRED SYSTEMS AND SERVICES CAPABILITIES ESCOs must have the demonstrated technical and managerial capabilities to address a broad range of building energy systems and provide a comprehensive set of energy services. Energy systems include, but are not limited to, roofing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, windows, insulation and energy management controls, life safety measures that provide long-term, operating-cost reductions, building operation programs that reduce operating costs, other energy-conservation-related improvements, including improvements or equipment related to renewable energy, water and other natural resources conservation, including accuracy and measurement of water distribution and/or consumption, and other equipment, services and improvements providing energy efficiency.
