What role will the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) play into the future?
ODOE will be doing several things. First, ODOE plans to maintain and update the prequalified list annually. ODOE does not plan on adding any more firms to the prequalified list once the third solicitation is concluded. For state agencies, by default ODOE’s State Energy Efficient Design (SEED) team will provide technical oversight on project design. In addition, the SEED team can act as an “owner’s rep” when requested by the contracting agency. Lastly, ODOE will receive a copy of every facility audit conducted by a prequalified firm on any government agency (e.g., school, port, etc.). ODOE staff can review these audits upon request by the contracting agency.
