RFI Description:
The County of Lancaster is interested in contracting for a full range of energy services and energy-related improvements ("energy conservation measures" or "ECMs"), financed th-rough a guaranteed energy savings contract. The ECMs may include but are not limited to: an investment grade energy audit; the design, acquisition, installation, modification, maintenance and training in the operation of existing and new equipment, which will reduce energy consumption and related costs associated with the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, lighting systems, security systems, wireless network, building envelope, the hot water systems, water consumption, sewage costs and other energy using devices; as well as for savings which would not reduce consumption per se but are aimed at cost savings, such as fuel switching, demand reductions, onsite generation, utility bill auditing, utility rate changes, distribution upgrades etc. The County of Lancaster is seeking firms to come up with competitive and creative ideas to improve efficiencies and lower costs in either a single-phased or multi-phased project contract approach in accordance with PA Act 39. Final ECMs may also include the training of facility staff with respect to routine maintenance and operation of all improvements. ECMs must result in a guaranteed minimum energy savings with the ESCO payments linked to actual documented energy and cost reductions. Any stipulated energy and/or operational cost savings that may be attributed to this project will be rigorously reviewed and, if agreed to, will be limited to those that can be thoroughly documented and verified by the ESCO and approved by the County of Lancaster. In accordance with law, the aggregate (of all phases) contract shall not exceed twenty (20) years in duration and must comply with applicable statutes, regulations, and procurement laws. The savings achieved by the ECMs must be sufficient to cover all project costs including annual maintenance and monitoring fees on an annual basis for the duration of the contract term. The contract must provide that the savings in any year are guaranteed to the extent necessary to make payments under the contract during that year. Interested firms may obtain a copy of this RFQ in its entirety from: Andrea McCue, Chief Clerk mccuea@co.lancaster.pa.us 717-299-8300 One (1) original and four (4) copies of ESCO proposals must be delivered to the issuing office not later than February 10, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Proposals delivered after that time will not be considered. Late or incomplete proposals will not be accepted regardless of the reason. The County of Lancaster reserves the right to reject at any time any and all proposals received, or to negotiate separately with any and all competing ESCOs.
