Expressions of interest were due by 5:00 p.m. on August 4, and responses are due by 5:00 p.m. on
August 18. The ad hoc committee will review the responses and may recommend that the City Council
enter into an agreement with the most qualified responsible contractor. The request for SOQ describes

must be included in responses. The ESCO would guarantee that no City funds be expended for work
associated with the contract. Any capital outlay or other expenses for the development and

recommendations. The ESCO is expected to go before the City Council in October. Program
