Request for Proposals (RFP)

Program Monitoring and Evaluation for an Energy Efficiency Residential Retrofit and Labeling Project in Four States

RFP Status Update
The submission for proposals is now closed. NASEO and the Project Steering Committee are currently engaged in the review and selection process. We anticipate selecting finalists by August 24 and making a final decision soon after.

Secondly, there has been a date change in the planned project kick-off meeting. The Project Steering Committee will not hold a project kick-off meeting at NASEO's Annual Meeting in San Antonio (September 11-14) but will plan for a meeting sometime during the week of September 19 in Washington, D.C. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause for you.

Overview

The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) requests proposals from organizations or individuals interested in conducting a process-oriented monitoring and evaluation of the Multi-State Residential Retrofit Project ("Multi-State Project" or "pilot"). The Multi-State Project covered by this RFP was awarded and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the State Energy Program to the state energy offices in the four states of Alabama, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Washington. This collaborative four-state project intends to test the effectiveness of a shared residential retrofit program model, as well as state-specific variations on that model. NASEO is managing the program evaluation on behalf of the four state energy offices. This project is not funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
