The Montpelier Recreation Department (MRD) is a municipal organization that manages the Montpelier Recreation Center, located at 55 Barre Street. This facility hosts a variety of public programs, including structured and open gym time for Basketball, Pickleball, and Dodgeball, and serves as the operational base for several departmental staff offices. The MRD, in collaboration with Efficiency Vermont, is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors for air sealing and insulation services at the Montpelier Recreation Center. This work is a crucial component of a larger planned facility renovation, which includes upgrades to the HVAC and electrical infrastructure. The primary objective of this weatherization project is to significantly enhance the building envelope's thermal performance- specifically, by increasing insulation and reducing air leakage-to effectively mitigate heating and cooling energy demand.
