Energy Performance Contracting Phase 6

The Colorado Department of Human Services CDHS seeks qualified Energy Service Companies ESCO to perform an investment grade audit IGA and develop an EPC Project Proposal. CDHS has executed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Colorado Energy Office CEO s Energy Performance Contracting EPC Program and will follow its guidelines, practices, and procedures. The goals of the project are to: 1 evaluate CDHS facilities for lighting efficiency upgrades, renewable energy systems, and other measures as requested 2 conduct an IGA and provide a report that makes recommendations for possible projects, 3 support CDHS efforts in locating funding and/or financing of the proposed energy projects within the boundaries of Dodd-Frank and other regulations, 4 if retained, execute and implement an EPC. EPC execution includes guaranteeing energy and water savings through a specific scope of work, and measuring and verifying that the savings guaranteed have been delivered. EPC implementation will include construction and implementation oversight and management, commissioning, and execution of the measurement and verification M and V plan that meets or exceeds the requirements of CDHS enabling legislation, and CEO protocols. While it is the desire of CDHS to enter into a long-term partnership with the awarded ESCO, CDHS does not guarantee the award of an EPC to the chosen ESCO. An EPC award will be determined following acceptance of the project proposal. CDHS desires a comprehensive LED lighting and renewable energy program to result from the relationship. The awarded ESCO shall evaluate up to 279 see building list buildings and other facilities for lighting efficiency, renewable energy systems, and other measures as requested. Buildings and other facility information, including annual utility use and cost, may be found in Attachment A In addition, CDHS has several specific projects to be included in the overall engineering review in addition to the firms proposed buildings found in Attachment A. Specific projects to be evaluated in the IGA process include Renewable Energy installation for Fort Logan campus Renewable Energy installation for Pueblo campus This does not limit the ESCO from suggesting other energy savings projects in the normal course of the contract. In their ESCO Base Contract with CEO, pre-qualified ESCOs agree to abide by CEO s Standard IGA Pricing model. However, CDHS has worked with the Office of the State Architect and the CEO EPC program and come to the agreement that audit pricing for facilities will be discussed and negotiated only after Notice of Award is issued. Do not make any reference to this pricing in the proposal. After the execution of the IGA contract, the chosen ESCO will then provide a comprehensive IGA report and EPC Project Proposal to make recommendations for possible projects based on the results of the IGA. Upon completion of the IGA and EPC Project Proposal, CDHS may elect to enter into an EPC with the awarded ESCO for design, project management, construction, commissioning and measurement and verification services.
