The Procurement Team seeks qualified Proposers, including Energy Service Companies (“ESCOs”), to perform under an energy performance contract (“Contract”) between PEA and Selected Proposer under the Pennsylvania Guaranteed Energy Savings Act (“GESA”). GESA addresses contracting by municipalities for energy conservation measures in existing buildings.
The Procurement Team is requesting proposals for these facilities that will comprehensively reduce energy costs and meet other goals outlined in the RFP. The proposals must guarantee savings that exceed that cost of the project including financing costs. Proposer(s) will also implement an Economic Opportunity Plan (“EOP”) as specified in Attachment F in its selection and use of diverse subcontractors and hiring of workers that ensure the employment of an appropriately diverse workforce.
Under this solicitation, it is expected that up to two Proposers will be selected to perform all of the work for the Procurement Team.
All Proposers must submit a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) by November 30, 2023. Proposals must be received no later than 5 P.M. ET on February 9, 2024. Proposals should be delivered electronically, emailed to gesa@phila.gov and be no larger than 10MB to ensure delivery.
