Rationale:  The Process:

References are Attached below with the documents:

                  1,  The goal of this meeting (November 13) will be to update your entire Board on the preliminary audit that was put together by Facility Advocates.  We also want to review how the ESCO process is designed to work

                  2.  On the November Board agenda, you will want an action item that allows the Superintendent to RELEASE  the "Request For Qualifications-RFQ"  Attached is a sample RFQ
                             a.  Sutherland will advertise in your local paper that you are Releasing the RFQ (you need to advertise for 14 days)---Attached is a sample advertisement with Sutherland's information.
                                      *You will want to start advertising as soon as you can after the November 13 Board Meeting.
                             b.   Attached is a timeline and a Sample Board Resolution authorizing the Superintendent to Release the RFQ.
                             c.  Sutherland will "mail" the Request for Qualifications to three ESCO Companies Attached are three companies and their addresses.  Interested ESCO Companies have until Friday, December 8, 2023 to respond to the RFQ.  The RFQ is a document where the ESCO Companies share their companies qualifications:  projects they have worked on, references, history of the company, etc.  Interested companies may ask to come visit your school.  I would stick with your December 8th deadline....The RFQ is a fairly standard document that allows the ESCO Company to show off what they are about.....marketing tool.

                   3.  In December, the Board will decide whether or not to partner with one of the Energy Companies.  Facility Advocates, of course, is going to work very hard for your business.

Other Notes
            *There is no cost to select an ESCO Company.  The cost will start when you enter a "specific contract" for a specific job---Guaranteed Maximum Price.
            *The Sutherland Board guides the ESCO process (that includes the timeline).  
            *After selecting an ESCO Company, the next task will be for an "In Depth Study of your Facilities" (Equipment, Cost, Efficiency, etc)  Still no cost
            *The Board, Administration and Maintenance will have input throughout this process.
