MHEC MC01-G33 Re Opening - Part 1

The Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium (MHEC) is re‑opening a multi‑vendor contract for Energy Consulting Services across New England higher‑education and related institutions. The solicitation is split into two parts: Part 1 (this “basic” proposal) contains no pricing, while Part 2 (price proposal) must be submitted separately. The work covers strategic energy procurement, utility budgeting, usage variance tracking, quality‑assurance data management, sustainability project consulting, renewable‑energy credit administration, and greenhouse‑gas data management. Vendors must submit extensive documentation (certifications, W‑9, insurance, standard contract form) and meet mandatory requirements such as electronic signature, 2 % contract service fee, and quarterly reporting. The contract term is five years, with an anticipated start date of 1 November 2026. • Scope includes assessments, analysis, implementation, and ongoing performance verification of water and energy efficiency for commercial/ institutional facilities. • Minimum qualifications: at least 3 years in business, 3 relevant public/higher‑education projects (5 + for “advantageous”), and ability to serve multiple New England states. • Bidders must attend an optional pre‑bid webinar (9 Sept 2026) and respond to questions by 28 Sept 2026; final bid due 30 Sept 2026.
