Flexible Energy Technical Analysis

Description of goods to services to be bid:

Effective August 1, 2018 the submission deadline for all NYSERDA solicitations will be changed from 5:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please note only the time is changing, and all due dates remain as indicated on each solicitation.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is issuing solicitation RFQL 3685 to establish a pool of consulting firms qualified to provide the NYSERDA Energy and Environmental Analysis (EEA) Program with diverse technical, energy, economic, and environmental analytical capacity, some of which may be requests for support services. Access to a pool of consultants with wide-ranging high quality technical expertise established through this solicitation will augment and enhance NYSERDA’s expertise when called upon to undertake individual, discrete projects with firm time lines. In addition, these retained resources will also be available for all Programs throughout NYSERDA, providing technical expertise when such services are needed and appropriate.

Eligibility/Qualifications Requirements/Preferences:

As a result of this RFQL, NYSERDA expects to retain qualified contractors to provide services in each of the specified Support Areas outlined in Section II.B of this RFQL. The number and type of services requested from the selected contractors will depend on the nature and complexity of the project, the contractor's expertise, the volume and frequency of the services requested by NYSERDA, and contractors past performance. NYSERDA does not guarantee that all types of services will be requested or that all selected contractors will receive work pursuant to executed Task Work Order Agreements.

NYSERDA may select contractors that have demonstrated specialized capabilities in specific areas (e.g., exceptionally scarce qualifications or experience, specialized equipment, or facilities not readily available from other sources, or patents, copyrights, or proprietary data). Submitted proposals should articulate any specialized capabilities, supported by justification as to why these skills may be exceptionally scarce. NYSERDA reserves the right to make all decisions regarding a successful demonstration of a specialized capability.

Proposers are permitted, but not required, to team with partners (subcontractors) they consider would offer complementary expertise in the Support Areas identified in Section II.B.
