How to bid on Energy Efficiency Project Services Master Agreement (EEPMA) RFSQ for LA County

What LA County is buying

The Los Angeles County Internal Services Department is looking for qualified vendors to provide energy efficiency project services. These services will be on an as-needed basis throughout the County. The County plans to establish new master agreements, known as the Energy Efficiency Project Services Master Agreement (EEPMA).

This opportunity is significant for firms specializing in energy efficiency, as it will replace the current EEPMA. Existing vendors must re-apply to continue providing services under the new agreement, which is anticipated to start in July 2017.

Key dates and deadlines

This is a continuous solicitation, meaning the County accepts responses on a rolling basis. There is no fixed deadline for submitting your Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). The current EEPMA is set to expire on October 31, 2017, with the new EEPMA expected to begin in July 2017.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is ideal for firms with expertise in environmental and energy efficiency services. Companies that can provide a range of energy efficiency project services are encouraged to respond. Both current EEPMA vendors and new firms interested in working with LA County should consider this solicitation.

How to respond

To access the full details and documents, you need to go to the LA County bid portal. Once there, locate solicitation number I104559. All necessary information and instructions for submission are publicly available on the portal. Submit your Statement of Qualifications as directed in the solicitation.

Tips for a competitive response

When preparing your Statement of Qualifications, clearly demonstrate your firm's experience and capabilities in energy efficiency projects. Highlight past projects that are similar in scope or complexity to the needs of a large county. Ensure your submission is thorough and addresses all requirements outlined in the RFSQ document.

Since this is a continuous solicitation, you have the flexibility to submit when your firm is best prepared. However, responding sooner rather than later can be beneficial as the County will be establishing new master agreements. Pay close attention to any specific formatting or content requirements for the SOQ to ensure it is compliant and easy for the County to review.
