Energy Management Software

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking an advanced Energy Management Software platform to centralize and optimize oversight of all municipal utility accounts, including electricity, water, and natural gas, through an automated system that delivers real-time consumption data and historical trends via seamless integration with utility provider billing systems. The platform must generate intelligent alerts for abnormal usage patterns, such as leaks or equipment malfunctions, to enable rapid intervention and improve operational efficiency. It must also include comprehensive project management tools to establish goals, track progress, measure cost savings, and evaluate return on investment for energy efficiency initiatives, with the ability to export reports in PDF, Excel, and CSV formats. Integration with existing City infrastructure, particularly solar panel systems and electric vehicle chargers, is preferred, alongside intuitive graphical dashboards and forecasting capabilities. The solution must be scalable to accommodate future growth and evolving sustainability objectives, with implementation including system setup, integration, onboarding, initial administrator and end-user training, and ongoing emergency technical support outside standard business hours. The contract, solicited under RFP-26-261 and governed by Florida law, requires the vendor to provide a fully functional platform with all services delivered within the contiguous United States, ensuring data residency and compliance with NIST 800-53 Moderate or higher security standards, including encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication for privileged access, and documented incident-response procedures. Proposals must demonstrate a proven track record through at least three comparable municipal projects with documented energy savings and ROI, alongside detailed project plans and timelines. Vendors must be certified with the Florida Division of Corporations and hold a competency license under Chapter 75-489 to qualify, and must carry commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, workers’ compensation as required by Florida law with $100,000 per accident and $500,000 for all diseases, and cyber liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. The vendor must also be willing to indemnify the City for negligence or wrongful misconduct, without limitation on liability, and must comply with Florida Public Records Law, E-Verify requirements, and disclosures regarding foreign countries of concern. The initial term is three years with a one-time implementation phase followed by an initial usage term, renewable indefinitely in one-year increments upon mutual agreement, with fees structured as a fixed implementation fee and recurring usage fees that cannot increase by more than 3% annually. Payment is contingent on compliant invoices
