Northern Lehigh looking into energy savings project

Northern Lehigh School District is looking into a Guaranteed Energy Savings Project.

The district is accepting Request for Qualifications for Energy Performance Contracting Services until 1 p.m. Feb. 23.

Superintendent Matthew Link said the district is requesting qualifications pertaining to an energy savings and facilities improvement program from interested qualified energy services companies.

“The proposal is designed to identify a qualified company to implement capital improvements to reduce energy and operational costs in facilities and infrastructure such that annual cost savings are applied to annual payments for improvements,” Link said. “Upon complete evaluation of the submitted qualifications, Northern Lehigh School District will select what it determines to be the most qualified provider.”

Link noted that the board has not approved any scope of work, and is under no obligation to commit to capital improvement projects.

“At this time, we are simply in information gathering mode to make informed decisions,” he said.
