Amity Regional School District No. 5 Qualified Energy Service Provider

Amity Regional School District No. 5 is soliciting sealed proposals from Qualified Energy Service Providers (QESP) to implement a district-wide Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC). The project encompasses the Amity Regional High School and Middle Schools in Orange and Bethany, focusing on energy-efficient upgrades, facility renovations, and the implementation of optimal operation and maintenance procedures. Key deliverables include an Investment Grade Energy Audit (IGEA) and the subsequent design, procurement, and installation of equipment adhering to USGBC-LEED and ASHRAE standards. The selected provider must guarantee that the project is self-funding over a 20-year financial term and that actual energy savings will be at least 90 percent of the projected savings. To be eligible, proposers must have a net asset value exceeding 2 million dollars, a branch office within 100 miles of the district, and at least 10 years of experience in performance contracting. Additional requirements include the ability to respond to emergency calls within two hours, the provision of manufacturer-trained mechanics, and a history of at least five similar energy savings guarantees. Proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale covering experience, technical approach, solution comprehensiveness, and in-house capabilities, with a preference for sustainable design and educational programs. Sealed proposals must be submitted to the Director of Finance and Administration in Woodbridge, Connecticut, by January 5, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. EST.
