Specifications include, but are not limited to: The contractor selected as a consequence of a successful response to this Request for Proposals will provide technical support, technical review and reporting services, and collaboration and consultation services to the New Hampshire Department of Energy (Department), as applicable, to assist the Department’s federally funded Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Weatherization Assistance Program (BIL WAP) in meeting its obligations to: Monitor BIL WAP work at each of the five Community Action Agency (CAA) territories in New Hampshire, assisting the Department with the annual monitoring of each CAA’s management of the BIL WAP funding in its territory for each program year of the BIL WAP period of performance. The BIL WAP period of performance began July 1, 2022, and will end June 30, 2027. The period of performance comprises five program years, each beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year. Said monitoring must be completed prior to June 30 of each program year except for 2023, for which the monitoring will occur late. Assess the need, largely as a result of the monitoring work, for technical assistance to increase weatherization knowledge, skills, and abilities among all WAP personnel. Working closely with the Department, create a risk assessment policy and tool for BIL WAP subgrantees, for which the objective is to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with subgrantee management, including financial, operational, and compliance risks.
