Purpose
The Shutesbury Elementary School Decarbonization Procurement Committee (SES Decarb Committee) is a time-limited committee that was created in Oct. 2026 to facilitate the procurement of technical assistance services for the purpose of decarbonizing the elementary school. The committee is a collaboration of the Energy and Climate Action Committee, the Buildings Committee, the School Committee and the Town Administrator. The Committee was established following the awarding of a Technical Assistance grant to the Town as part of the Climate Leader Communities program through DOER.
The Work
The Committee intends to release a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on or about November 13, 2026 to solicit submissions from qualified vendors that can conduct in-depth assessment of the elementary school's preferred options for decarbonization. These options are based on various assessments conducted in 2026 that included both technical and financial factors. The committee will serve as the body that reviews submissions and makes decisions about qualified vendors who will subsequently invited to submit proposals to conduct the work identified in the scope of work of the RFQ.
