Request for Qualifications: Commercial HVAC Implementation

NEEA is seeking to identify Qualified Vendors to provide implementation services for NEEA’s Commercial HVAC programs. Qualified Vendors can be individuals, firms, or combined teams of individuals and/or firms.

Qualified Vendors who meet the qualifications will be designated as Qualified Vendors and will comprise a “vendor shortlist" to be considered for immediate implementation support work for NEEA’s Efficient Rooftop Unit program. NEEA aims to start as early as July 2024 and complete by December 2024 ( with possibility of extension to 2025 and beyond). Qualified Vendors will also be shortlisted for other future Commercial HVAC program work.

In August of 2023, NEEA’s funders granted approval for NEEA to pursue a new market transformation program to accelerate market adoption of more advanced residential heat pumps, including ducted/central heat pumps. This new Advanced Heat Pump Program seeks/aims to remove market barriers and amplify market opportunities for heat pump products with low or no-cost advanced features and capabilities (“improvements”) that either improve equipment efficiency or the probability that the heat pump will be designed, installed, and operated in a way that improves energy efficiency of the whole system without compromising customer satisfaction.

Through this RFQ, NEEA seeks to select one or more contractors with experience and proficiency in the following Competency Areas:

1.    Commercial HVAC Market Expertise

2.    General HVAC Technical Expertise

NEEA encourages respondents to respond and provide proven and creative solutions. All correspondence should be directed to Gloriana York, Program Coordinator (gyork@neea.org). Intent to respond forms and bidder questions for clarification are due June 21, 2024, and proposals are due July 12, 2024.
