Request for Proposals for
Oil Home to Heat Pump Conversion Program Management

 The City of Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) is requesting proposals from qualified heat pump distributors (also called “Consultant”) to manage a program that provides incentives for switching homes from oil heat to electric heat pumps to reduce the cost of conversion and thereby increase the number of homes switching to carbon neutral electricity. A full scope of work can be found in the Request for Proposals (RFP), as directed below.

The budget for homeowner incentives and program management services is estimated to be $200,000. The project is planned to be completed by December 31, 2017.

The Consultant is bound to laws and ordinances regarding equal employment opportunity.

To select the Consultant, the proposals will be evaluated, and a short-list of the most qualified applicants will be selected by a Consultant Evaluation Committee. The short-listed consultants may be invited to interview. 

A copy of the Request for Proposal (RFP) may be obtained at the contact information below or on the City’s Consulting website at http://consultants.seattle.gov/. RFP responses must be received by 5:00 p.m., March 17, 2017. The RFP contains a full explanation of what a complete response entails. The City reserves the right to reject all proposals.
