​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Pursuant to Act No 57 of May 27th, 2014, as amended and Act No 19 of January 17th, 2012, the State
Office of Energy Policy (SOEP) is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) interested in being qualified for as-needed Share Savings Energy Performance Contracting (SSEPC) service, including preliminary auditing and assessment service for government facilities within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Commonwealth).                                               ESCOs qualified through this request for qualification (RFQ) process will be included in a new Shared Savings Qualified ESCO Registry and will be eligible to participate in the Share Savings Energy Performance Contracting Program (SSEPC Program) and provide services to participating state agencies and/or public corporations and municipal governments.                                                                        The primary purpose of this selection process is: (i) to add SSEPC Program as an option to implement comprehensive energy-efficiency projects in existing facilities; (ii) provide government entities the opportunity to procure services of qualified ESCOs in a timely and cost-effective way; (iii) ensure ESCOs comply with a minimum set of qualifications necessary to implement successful SSEPC Program projects; (iv) and offer Share Savings Qualified ESCOs the opportunity to engage in SSEPC
Program agreements.                                                                                                                       ​The SSEPC Program provides a standardized process with direction and accountability for all participating in the full development (including financing), implementation, measurement and verification of SSEPC projects by defining roles and responsibilities, formalizing process steps and providing standard contact documents.                                                                                                                       Potential SSEPC Program participants include state agencies, departments, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions, including municipalities, of the Commonwealth. SSEPC enables these participants to accomplish energy savings and efficiencies without the need for capital investments and/or financing, by sharing the avoided costs to pay for the project.                                                                ESCOs will be qualified by SOEP to provide as-needed SSEPC services to participating government
entities. Companies of all sizes are encouraged to submit statements of qualifications for consideration. An ESCO's qualification will be effective for a three (3) year term, subject to annual updates.                                                                                                                                                                                   SOEP will receive SOQs by hand and in accordance with the RFQ documents, until July 11th,
