Request for ProposalsThe Mobridge-Pollock

School District is soliciting Request for Proposals (RFP) from firms interested in pro-viding products and services for an Energy Performance Guarantee Contract. These services and products will be in the form of a Guaranteed Energy Savings Project and will need to follow the crite-ria and guidelines of SDCL 1-33B. This project is located at 1107 1st Ave E, Mobridge, SD 57601.

This scope of work will include an energy audit with provable energy saving prod-ucts. The Mobridge-Pollock School District intends to re-view only proposals that can guarantee over 50% energy savings on products. This project will have the ARRA conditions so these bids will need to follow the Davis Bacon and Buy American conditions.

The Mobridge-Pollock School District is also solic-iting Request for Proposals (RFP) from firms interested in providing products and services for a photovoltaic system. These proposals will not need an Energy Perfor-mance Guarantee Contract but estimated savings and production data will be re-quired at the time of submis-sion. This project is located at 1107 1st Ave E, Mobridge, SD 57601.

Statements of Interest should include at a minimum

(shown with relative impor-tance):

(1) Specialized expertise, capabilities and technical competence as demonstrat-ed by the proposed approach and methodology to meet the project requirements; 35%

(2) Resources available to perform the work, including any specialized services, within the specified time limits for the project; 10%

(4) Availability to the project locale; 5%

(5) Proposed project man-agement techniques; 5%

(6) Ability and proven history in handling special project constraints; 10%

Please contact Tim Fred-erick to schedule an energy audit walk-through appoint-ment. Proposals need to be labeled Energy Bid or Pho-tovoltaic bid and should be submitted separately.

Interested Firms should submit a proposal by 2:00 PM, January 3, 2020 to:
