Municipal Decarbonization Program Service

The City of Lakewood, Colorado is seeking a vendor to provide municipal decarbonization program services to support its transition to net-zero emissions by 2050. The agency needs to establish a consistent framework to evaluate emissions reduction strategies across all municipal operations and identify available funding, grants, rebates, and financing opportunities to offset project costs. To establish a baseline, the selected vendor must review existing City studies, audits, assessments, engineering reports, facility condition assessments, fleet analyses, and planning documents, identifying any information gaps and recommending additional assessments only when necessary. The scope of work requires the development of a comprehensive roadmap that includes emissions reduction estimates per action to demonstrate progress toward the 2050 net-zero goal. The agency requests recommended efficiency, electrification, and renewables measures alongside a specific timeline for each municipal facility. The project also entails sequencing and phasing these projects through 2050 based on emissions reduction potential, asset condition, operational considerations, and lifecycle replacement schedules, while managing the overall project schedule and facilitating all coordination meetings. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit proposals digitally via email or through an online portal, and the agency has not disclosed a specific budget, indicating instead that it is looking for proposals to determine costs. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 15, 2026.
