ESIP: RFP Templates

Ready to get started? If your public entity is using a retrofit strategy that involves an ESCO (ESCO or Hybrid models), an RFP is required. Please submit the draft RFP (redlined version) to ESIP@bpu.nj.gov for approval. No RFP may be advertised unless it has formal NJ BPU approval.

Contracting units are also reminded of their obligations to meet State Comptroller requirements for public contracts. In accordance with N.J.S.A 52:15C-10, contracting units must notify OSC as early as practicable, but no later than 30 days before advertisement, of any negotiation or solicitation of a contract that may exceed $12.5 million. Contracting units must also provide post-award notification for any contract for an amount exceeding $2.5 million. Notification must be given within 20 days of the award. This information can be found in the Local Finance Notice 2011-17, dated June 16, 2011.
