The Lamoille County Planning Commission (LCPC) seeks proposals from qualified contractors to support municipalities in developing and implementing rooftop solar panel installations on municipal buildings with potential for battery back up systems, related to the Municipal Energy Resilience Program (MERP). The MERP is funded by the State Department of Buildings and General Services through Act 172 (2022), with goals of fuel switching, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, reducing costs from fuel use, and improving comfort for building occupants. Question Deadline 05/09/2025 All questions should be sent to Victoria (victoria@lcpcvt.org) Responses to Questions posted: May 16, 2025 The MERP program also supports accessibility and ventilation improvements. The LCPC seeks qualified providers in the following areas: 1. Rooftop solar design, permitting, and installation, 2. Ground-mounted solar design, permitting, and installation. Regional municipalities received free energy assessments under the MERP program, to identify energy efficiency improvement opportunities at a municipality-owned building and provide specific recommendations for Energy and Conservation Measures (ECMs). Municipalities that received both MERP energy assessments and implementation grant funds to implement recommended energy conservation measures are looking to identify and hire qualified contractors to develop and implement the ECM projects identified in the MERP Assessment Reports. LCPC is gathering information on contracting firms available to develop and implement successful energy efficiency and conservation projects.
