AI overview
The Cape Light Compact JPE, a regional energy services governmental organization serving 205,000 customers across 21 towns on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, is seeking a qualified Lead Vendor to provide comprehensive implementation and management services for its Residential Turnkey Services program. The program encompasses both single-family (1-4 units) and multifamily (5+ units) residential energy efficiency and decarbonization services, including home energy assessments, weatherization, cold-climate air-source heat pump installations, barrier mitigation, and customer outreach. The selected vendor will be responsible for overall program management, contractor oversight, customer service, quality assurance, data reporting, and marketing support, with particular emphasis on engaging hard-to-reach populations including moderate-income households, renters, and English-isolated households.
The scope of work includes six primary components: incentive management, decarbonization home energy assessments, renter and landlord efforts, enhanced residential offerings, turnkey delivery of heat pumps and barrier remediation for eligible customers, and rebate verification screening. The Lead Vendor must manage multiple subcontractor relationships, implement a merit-based allocation of weatherization work orders, staff customer service representative positions, schedule and perform energy assessments, and manage the full turnkey pathway from customer intake through installation. The contract has an initial term of three years with options to renew up to a total of ten years from the original effective date.
Key dates include: RFP issued July 7, 2026; informational conference call on August 5, 2026; written inquiries due August 5, 2026; responses to inquiries posted August 11, 2026; proposals due September 8, 2026, by 12:00 p.m. ET; interviews scheduled September 11, 2026, if necessary; vendor selected September 16, 2026; kick-off meeting and project implementation beginning September 29, 2026, with program implementation starting January 1, 2027. Proposers must submit proposals electronically to Margaret Song at msong@capelightcompact.org, with the technical proposal and pricing proposal submitted as separate files. The proposal must remain valid for 45 days past the submission deadline.
Proposers must be organized or registered to do business in Massachusetts, hold all necessary licenses, be BPI accredited/BPI Goldstar Contractor, and demonstrate at least two similar projects or equivalent experience in Massachusetts over the past five years. The pricing proposal must include detailed unit prices for call center services, contractor management fees, turnkey project management fees, comprehensive assessments, special home visits, quality assurance visits, combustion safety test visits, marketing support, and various energy efficiency products. Evaluation will be based on minimum qualifications and comparative criteria including response quality, background, project team, scope of work redlines, related experience, references, contract redlines, and potential interviews.
