Bid Description
RI Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation
Bid Number: 2026 ZEOS RFP
Description
Through this Request for Proposals (“RFP”), the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (“RIHousing”), the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources (“OER”) and Rhode Island Energy, (“RI Energy”) (collectively, the “Program Partners”) seek proposals from qualified teams (“Project Teams” or “Project Team Members”) to design and construct affordable1 energy efficient Zero Energy Building (“ZEB”) housing unit(s) to serve low-and moderate-income2 (“LMI”) residents in Rhode Island.
Approximately $1,558,000 of grant funding (subject to availability of funding) has been allocated by the Program Partners for the development of these units. Project proposals must include heat pump technologies and onsite (or if available community) solar in pursuit of ZEB status.

The units include new construction and/or renovation projects as detailed in the Project Requirements and outlined Scope of Work. A ZEB is an energy-efficient building, where, on a source energy basis, the actual annual delivered energy is less than or equal to the annual on-site renewable exported energy (based on the US Department of Energy’s ZEB definition)
