Description
Hancock County School District (HCSD) is seeking qualified Energy Service Providers (ESPs) to enter a two‑year Energy Services Contract that will design, finance, install, and maintain energy‑conservation measures across district facilities. The contract is structured as an energy‑services agreement with no upfront capital cost to the district; ESPs must guarantee savings, provide open‑book pricing, and may arrange financing. Preference is given to Mississippi‑based firms that are licensed contractors, pre‑qualified by the Mississippi Development Authority, and have a proven record of documented energy‑savings projects. The procurement process includes written qualification submissions, optional oral interviews, and selection of a single ESP to execute an investment‑grade technical energy audit, followed by negotiation of the final Energy Services Agreement. The payback period may not exceed 20 years, and the ESP must supply maintenance manuals, as‑built drawings, and ongoing O&M services.
