Elbert County is now seeking qualified Energy Service Companies (ESCO) to perform an investment grade audit (IGA) and develop an EPC Project Proposal. Elbert County has executed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Colorado Energy Office (CEO)’s Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Program and will follow its guidelines, practices, and procedures.
The goals of the project are to: (1) evaluate the Elbert County’s facilities for energy and water efficiency upgrades, renewable energy systems, and other measures as requested; (2) conduct an IGA and provide a report that makes recommendations for possible projects; (3) support Elbert County’s efforts in locating funding and/or financing of the proposed energy projects within the boundaries of Dodd-Frank and other regulations; and (4) if retained, execute and implement an EPC. EPC execution includes guaranteeing energy and water savings through a specific scope of work, and measuring and verifying that the savings guarantee has been delivered. EPC implementation includes construction and implementation oversight and management, commissioning, and execution of the measurement and verification (M&V) plan that meets or exceeds the requirements of Elbert County, enabling legislation, and CEO protocols.
