Section I - General Information

1. Purpose

The CITY OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI ("CITY" OR "CITY OF JACKSON") seeks specific qualifications from

companies approved by the Mississippi Development Authority ("MDA") to operate as Energy Services

Companies (ESCOs). CITY OF JACKSON is looking for a company capable of providing a comprehensive city-

wide energy management program for all streetlights, traffic lights, and facilities/buildings owned and/or

managed by the CITY OF JACKSON. The CITY OF JACKSON shall negotiate and execute a professional

services agreement with the selected firm for the conduct of an investment-grade energy audit. The CITY's goals

are to limit the burden on its annual financial budget, improve the safety and overall well-being of its residents

and visitors, and maximize potential energy savings.

2. Project Funding

Respondents shall be willing and able to assist with the necessary information required to obtain the financing

for this project in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Due to limited budgets for this

upgrade, the CITY OF JACKSON has a special interest in ascertaining modern and innovative proposals that

provide turn-key solutions, installation, and long-term warranty for the length of the contract term.

3. Savings Guarantee

The ESCO shall provide a written energy savings guarantee, clearly stated in units of energy to be saved. Annual

cost savings derived from such improvements beyond the guaranteed minimum savings will be retained by the

City and not allocated to future annual savings guarantees or shortfalls in other years. Any O&M cost savings

proposed by the selected ESCO will be rigorously reviewed and, if agreed, limited to those that can be thoroughly

documented and approved by the City. NOTE: The City also reserves the right to enter into an Energy Services

Contract, Energy Performance Contract, or any other energy services agreement permitted by Mississippi Code

§ 31-7-14 with a selected ESCO for this RFQ should the City decide that such is the best course of action. For

this document, "performance contracting" is defined as a contract for the design and implementation of energy

efficiency measures, including services, equipment, and maintenance, for which the payment obligation is

directly related to the energy and operational cost savings (avoidance) attributable to the scope of services (and

equipment) provided under the contract for the term of the agreement.

4. Proposal Format

Proposals must be submitted in the format outlined in this document. Each proposal will be reviewed to determine

whether it is complete before actual evaluation. Proposals that do not contain the requested information will not

be considered. Respondents shall use the prescribed format to indicate their experience and qualifications,

describe their approach to the project, and explain their proposed contract. In addition, the CITY OF JACKSON

reserves the right to waive any irregularities and formalities in the selection of the ESCO for this project.

5. Contract Responsibility

The selected ESCO will be required to assume total responsibility for the project. The selected ESCO will serve

as the prime contractor and the sole point of contact for all contractual matters.

6. Required Insurance

The successful respondent shall procure and maintain in effect during the life of the agreement commercial

general liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance, as required by State law. Evidence of required

insurance shall be presented prior to contract execution.

7. Taxes, Fees, Code Compliance, Licensing

The ESCO shall be responsible for payment of any required permits, sales, and/or use taxes or fees associated

with the execution of the performance contract. The ESCO shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable

codes and laws.

8. References and Proprietary Information

Submission of a response constitutes permission to make inquiries concerning the respondent to any persons

or firms deemed appropriate by the CITY OF JACKSON. Any proprietary information that the submitting

contractor does not want disclosed to the public shall be so identified on each page on which it is found. Data or

information so identified will be used by the CITY OF JACKSON solely for the purpose of evaluation and contract

negotiations for the project as stated herein. Disclosure of any proprietary information by the CITY OF JACKSON

shall be in strict accordance with the laws and regulations regarding disclosure in the State of Mississippi.

9. Site Information:

Due to the City's limited staff availability, site visits will not be conducted until after the ESCO is selected to

ensure minimal disruption to facility operations. Any information about the facilities' size, condition, etc., can be

requested via email to the point of contact below. The City will attempt to provide requested information to the

proposing ESCOs to assist in their responses to the solicitation; however, only requests received via email will

be responded to, and all information provided will be provided to each firm that requests a copy of the solicitation.

The City, during this phase of the solicitation, is more concerned with each ESCO's general approach to

developing projects.

10. Pre-bid Conference:

A pre-bid conference will be held on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. in the Andrew Conference Room

on the 1st Floor of the Hood Building, 200 S. President St., Jackson, MS 39205.

11. Restriction of Contact:

From the issue date of this RFQ until the City selects a respondent for award, the contact person listed below is

the sole point of contact concerning this RFQ. Any violation of this condition may cause the rejection of the

offending ESCO's submission. If it is discovered that ESCO has engaged in any violations of this condition, the

offending ESCO's response may be rejected, or the contract award rescinded. ESCOs must agree not to

distribute any part of their submissions. An ESCO that shares information contained in its submission with other

City personnel and/or competing ESCO personnel may be disqualified.

Direct all inquiries concerning this RFQ in writing to:
