Facilitation of DRCOG's Building Policy Collaborative - Facilitation of DRCOG's Building Policy Collaborate

This Building Policy Collaborative (BPC) will support the 58 jurisdictions in the DRCOG planning area over five years to implement new, above state minimum building energy codes and performance standards, equipment replacement standards, permitting reform, embodied carbon standards, and professional licensure requirements. The BPC will provide local governments with capacity-building subawards and problem solving through peer-to-peer collaboration and research capacity. The BPC will also ensure jurisdictions are fully connected with the grant’s rebates/incentives, advising, workforce development, and community engagement offerings.
The contractor selected through this RFP (hereafter referred to as "the Contractor") will collaborate with DRCOG staff, a Regional Building Policy Cohort consisting of 15 early-adopting DRCOG jurisdictions, and existing working groups of local government sustainability, planning, and building department staff across the DRCOG region. Additionally, the Contractor will work alongside other Decarbonize DRCOG contractors to facilitate the Building Policy Collaborative and provide research, guidance and support for the local government sub-awardees.
