6.2. Review, Consider, and Take All Necessary Action to Select an Energy Service Company
More Information:
Attached is a packet from Facility Advocates that provides some detailed information about the company. We are required to advertise our intent to work with an energy services company, and then select a company based on predetermined criteria. Facility Advocates was the only company that submitted information. I have also attached a letter of intent for you to review. If the board would like to move forward, the next step would be signing a letter of intent with Facility Advocates to begin gathering bids and develop a facility plan and prioritize proposed improvements.
There is no long-term agreement with Facility Advocates. The next step would be for staff from Facility Advocates to come visit the sites and make recommendations for improvements. Costs associated with the recommended improvements will be provided. It typically takes 2-4 months to collect costs for projects, depending on the scope of the projects.
