REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Contractor Training and Certification Services: Home Energy and Water Audits,
Quality Installation Of Efficiency Measures, Home -Performance Contracting
Background
In response to aggressive goals in recently adopted City policies (see the Climate Action Plan at
http://www.fcgov.com/climateprotection/pdf/climate_ action iplan.pdf, the Energy Policy at
http://www.fegov.com/electric/pdf/energyy-poliu.pdf, and the Water Conservation Plan at
htT://www.fcgov.com/water/pdf/conservation-plan.pdf), Fort Collins Utilities (Utilities) is
significantly enhancing the programs it offers to residential customers in the areas of energy and
water conservation.
The focus of these programs is installed improvements that deliver energy and water savings,
while in many cases also providing other homeowner benefits. The programs are designed to
meet consumer needs for credible information and guidance, skilled and trusted contractors,
affordable cost to participate and services that are easy to access.
Utilities is designing these programs to build both the supply infrastructure (contractors) and
demand for services (consumers). The intent is to develop a long-term, thriving market for
energy improvements in which reducing energy and water use in one's home becomes a "social
norm," with contractors visibly working throughout the community.
To expand the pool of quality service providers, Utilities will support opportunities for training,
mentoring, certification and business development. This infrastructure will dovetail with other
efforts such as building high-performance new homes and publicly supported weatherization for
income -qualified residents.
By developing robust programs and a supportive infrastructure, Fort Collins will develop a
reputation as a progressive community that supports best -practice improvement approaches.
Existing Fort Collins -area service providers will have opportunities to expand and improve their
services; quality contractors from elsewhere will be drawn to provide services here.
Utilities is making a commitment to offer the programs described below for a minimum of five
years. The programs will evolve with experience. Utilities involvement will be highest in the
early years, supporting service providers as they learn to deliver quality work. Utilities energy
efficiency programs also include a focus on quality assurance and control to ensure the
responsible use of ratepayer funds. Utilities provides other programs and services targeting
specific equipment, such as consumer appliances and residential lighting.
Program Description
The Home Efficiency Program (Program) is an audit and home improvement program for
Utilities customers. The goal of the Program is the completion of independently verified energy
and water efficiency projects for existing homes. Homeowners will be able to access services at
two levels: installation of targeted efficiency measures (Level 1) or home -performance
contracting (Level 2). Home -performance contracting follows the Home Performance with
ENERGY STAR® model but will not be tied to ENERGY STAR®.
The program will encourage residents to implement energy and water savings improvements by
providing:
• Audits. There will be two levels of audits corresponding to the two levels of improvements.
Level 1 is a standardized audit with visual inspections and limited performance testing. Level
2 is an in-depth, whole -house audit with a greater emphasis on performance testing and
problem solving. Audit costs for both levels will be subsidized by Utilities.
• Home -specific improvement recommendations. Level 1 auditors will recommend targeted
efficiency measures such as insulation, air sealing, windows and mechanical system upgrades.
If appropriate, they may also recommend that customers utilize Level 2 services. Level 2
auditors will recommend custom, integrated packages of improvements to address customer
needs.
• Approved contractor network. Utilities is defining qualifications for two groups of
contractors eligible to provide services under the program. Specialty Contractors will
typically install targeted efficiency measures. Home Performance Contractors will install
integrated packages of improvements.
• Rebates and financing options. Utilities will be providing significant rebates and/or
financing for targeted efficiency and home performance measures.
• Project support and coaching. Customers will be encouraged to contact Utilities REIP staff
to discuss audit results and improvement recommendations.
• Quality control. Auditors will inspect all Level 1 targeted efficiency measures. A sample of
audits and completed jobs will be independently verified.
Initially eligible housing types in this program include single-family detached and attached
housing, and duplexes. Both owner -occupied and rental properties will be eligible (in the case of
rental housing, the program will be directed at the owner).
Best practices, quality workmanship and a high level of installed performance are expectations
that underlie this program.
Preliminary program goals are based on experience in programs elsewhere around the country:
300 audits (150 completed projects) in the first year of the program and 600 audits (300
completed projects) in the second year and subsequent years of the program. We expect the
start-up phase to begin in November 2009, leading to full implementation in January 2010.
Contractor Infrastructure
The Program will rely on qualified contractors to perform audits and complete improvements.
Auditors will be working under contract to Utilities. In contrast, installation contractors will
work independently. They will be included on an "approved contractor" list developed and
maintained by Utilities. The approved contractor lists will be based upon qualifications and
training, with available rebates tied to standards for installation of qualified measures.
For auditors at both levels and for home -performance contractors installing Level 2
improvements, Utilities anticipates that the Building Performance Institute (BPI) Building
Analyst Professional certification will be a key prerequisite for participating in the program.
Qualifications for contractors installing efficiency measures on Level 1 jobs are under
development.
A limited pool of skilled energy -improvement and home -performance contractors currently
serves the Fort Collins market. Training is needed to hone the skills of existing contractors and to
qualify new contractors to deliver Program services. Utilities views "training" in the broad sense,
including initial training, mentoring and continuing education, with an eye toward strengthening
the infrastructure of qualified and successful contractors over the long-term.
Purpose of Solicitation
The purpose of this solicitation is to identify one professional who is qualified to deliver the

approach that effectively supports Utilities' vision of strengthening the local contractor
