EXHIBIT 1
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Question 1: The RFP minimum qualifications states “Vendor shall have experience
supporting the administrative implementation of a minimum of two (2)
benchmarking ordinances currently active across one of the 36 United States
jurisdictions.”
Can this minimum qualification be extended to include firms who have
experience implementing benchmarking programs for state/local jurisdictions that
are not required as part of an ordinance?
Answer 1: A critical component of the Help Center functions; includes, “Help Center staff
should be trained to answer detailed questions about ENERGY STAR Portfolio
Manager, Utilities data access, and the Ordinance’s overall reporting and
compliance processes.” There are key differences between a requirements-
based program and mandatory compliance, therefore we require
the awarded firm have experience with mandatory programs.
