The State of Vermont is soliciting qualified firms to perform investment‑grade energy audits (ASHRAE Level II) on a statewide portfolio of state‑owned and municipal buildings.

Pricing is per‑square‑foot for conditioned and unconditioned space, with separate rates for specific testing, and the contract runs for three years with an optional two‑year extension. Bidders must submit certifications (climate‑change, Ukrainian solidarity, lobbying, worker‑classification) and meet insurance and cybersecurity requirements.
• Perform ASHRAE Level II energy surveys, field testing, and produce detailed audit reports and ECM spreadsheets.
• Provide per‑square‑foot pricing tables covering a wide range of building sizes and separate testing rates.

• Comply with extensive state certifications (climate‑change, debarment, insurance, accessibility, HFC prohibition).
• Contract term 36 months (May 1 2026 – April 30 2029) with one 24‑month renewal option.
