Citywide Energy Services and Energy Efficiency Program

The City of Stockton is seeking an Energy Services Company (ESCO) to develop and implement a comprehensive, city‑wide energy efficiency and sustainability program. The contractor will conduct a full energy audit of municipal facilities, identify and prioritize conservation measures (e.g., solar PV, battery storage, HVAC upgrades, lighting retrofits, water savings), perform financial and lifecycle analyses, devise financing strategies, and, if authorized, deliver turnkey implementation and ongoing performance monitoring. The City does not have upfront funding for the assessment phase; proposals must include a compensation structure that defers or incorporates those costs into later implementation projects. Key milestones include a pre‑bid virtual meeting (Sep 10), question deadline (Sep 17), response deadline (Sep 22), and final proposal submission (Oct 8). Award is anticipated Nov 16 with council approval by Dec 4. The effort will likely span multiple years of analysis and potential project rollout. • Scope: Energy audit, feasibility studies, project prioritization, financing plan, optional turnkey implementation, M&V. • Required deliverables: Energy Services Plan, detailed cost‑benefit analyses, financing recommendations, grant/rebate identification. • No upfront assessment funding – fee structure must be performance‑based or deferred. • Mandatory pre‑bid virtual conference (Sep 10) – optional but recommended. • Submission deadline: Oct 8, 2026 2 PM PST (email or USB). • Award expected Nov 16, 2026; contract term not specified but likely multi‑year.
