The Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources (DER) requests proposals and fee schedules from qualifying firms and individuals to provide energy engineering services for the Local Government Public Buildings Enhanced Energy Efficiency Program (PBEEEP).
PBEEEP addresses energy efficiency in public buildings across Minnesota through a targeted recommissioning/retrocommissioning (RCx) and retrofit project focus. Energy affecting and energy consuming equipment, systems, and operations practices are evaluated to identify energy conservation opportunities that result in cost savings for the Local Government Unit (LGU). The majority of projects will follow a 4-phase project process: screening, investigation, implementation, and verification. A key component of PBEEEP is that the program provides LGUs access to project funding through a combination of co-funding and lease-purchase financing without the need to have budgeted for project services in advance.
Proposals are due on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.
