Summary: Request for Proposal (RFP) procedures were followed in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. NORESCO, LLC was selected based on established evaluation criteria.

The first phase was a comprehensive investment grade audit that identified a specific set of energy conservation measures (ECMs) for each facility. The project will reduce energy costs 53% and water 27% and address the repair or replacement of failing critical infrastructure and building automation systems. This contract is for two (2) years of construction, followed by 20 years of verification of savings from the energy conservation measures.
