and Oceana Counties Only
PROPOSALS and INQUIRIES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO:
EightCAP, Inc.
Manager of Self-Sufficiency Programs
904 Oak Drive
Greenville, MI 48838
Proposals must be SEALED and Labeled:

(All proposals are due by 4:00 p.m., EST, Friday, November 21, 2014)
1
I.)
Introduction
EightCAP, Inc., hereafter referred to as “Agency”, is a non-profit organization that
operates/administers a Weatherization Assistance Program (“WAP”) in Gratiot, Ionia,
Isabella, Montcalm, Muskegon and Oceana Counties. EightCAP, Inc. is a private,
nonprofit corporation and is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code. Administrative Offices are located at 904 Oak Drive,
Greenville, MI 48838.
The United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) WAP reduces energy costs for lowincome households by increasing the energy efficiency of their single family homes, multiunit homes and/or mobile homes and educating clients on energy-saving behaviors while
ensuring their health and safety. WAP prioritizes services to the elderly, people with
disabilities, and families with children. The Agency’s professionally trained Weatherization
Inspectors use computerized energy audits and advanced diagnostic equipment to
determine the most cost-effective measures appropriate for each home. Typical
measures may include: sealing ducts; tuning and repairing heating and cooling systems;
mitigating air infiltration; and reducing electric base load consumption.
The Agency is soliciting proposals from contractors in order to identify those that will be
eligible to perform work under the WAP. Selected contractor(s) will install measures in the
homes of clients enrolled in the WAP. The Agency prefers to have one contractor to
perform all of the general contractor work for the Weatherization Assistance Program;
however, contracts will be awarded based on the elements listed in the “Selection
Consideration” section of this document. Selected contractor(s) will be placed on the
agency Contractor Contact List and each job – or a bundle of jobs, at the Agency’s
discretion – will be awarded to a company on the list. A “job” is an individual property to
be weatherized which may be comprised of a mobile home, single-family home, or multifamily housing. Jobs will be awarded to a contractor on the agency contractor list based
on which contractor is able to perform the job at the lowest cost, barring the presence of
any non-economic factors.
Weatherization work shall be aligned with National Renewable Energy Laboratories
(NREL) Job Task Analysis (JTA) is a foundation for any valid credentialing program and
helps identify the core knowledge areas, critical work function, and/or skills typically found
across a representative sampling of current practitioners or job incumbent workers.
Empirical results from a job analysis provide examinees and the public with valid, reliable,
fair, and realistic assessment that reflects the skills, knowledge and abilities required to
competently perform a job.
Any selected contractors must comply with all applicable Standard Work Specifications
(“SWS”), Community Services Program Manual (“CSPM”), United States Department of
Energy (“DOE”) regulations/program notices, National Renewable Energy Laboratories
(NREL) Job Task Analysis (JTA), and any other applicable rules/regulations (copies of the
SWS and CSPM are available from the Agency upon request). Failure to comply in any
of the terms contained in these documents may result in any contract that is awarded
being suspended or revoked.

II.)
Contractor Performance
EightCAP expects contractors to complete jobs in a timely, professional manner as well
as all necessary paperwork being completed accurately. The agency will track the
following data for each contractor for each job:
-
Whether the job was started on time
Whether the job was completed on time
Condition of job site and customer satisfaction
Accuracy and timeliness of invoices from Contractor to Agency
Accuracy and completeness of the documentation required from contractor
Work not completed in accordance within the standards of applicable building
codes and the Standard of Work Specifications (SWS)
- Invoices submitted in a timely manner, with appropriate back up documentation.
Written notifications will be known as “findings.” If there are two findings in the same
category, or a total of three from all categories, within a 12-month period, the contractor
will be required to attend a meeting at which a Corrective Action Plan will be developed,
along with an explanation of how the items in the Corrective Action Plan will correct the
identified issues.
Jobs will not be issued to the contractor until a Corrective Action Plan has been
implemented. If a contractor has six findings within a 12 month period, the agency will
cease assigning jobs to the deficient contractor and initiate the RFP Process to identify
another contractor to conduct WAP work or work with other contractors on the agency
roster to complete production goals.
III.) Selection Committee
The selection committee will be chaired by the Manager of Self-Sufficiency Programs
(WAP Manager) and include the following staff members of the Agency:

WHEREAS, the AGENCY desires to engage the CONTRACTOR to assist in the
performance of the aforementioned programs;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and subject to the conditions
contained herein, the AGENCY and the CONTRACTOR hereto do mutually agree as
follows:
II.)
STATEMENT OF WORK

manner at such times and such places as designated by the AGENCY.
III.) SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. No work shall begin until the AGENCY issues a written Proceed Order, including the

be completed and the report turned in to EightCAP (SEE ATTACHMENT B).
B. The CONTRACTOR must complete the inspection on the properties identified within
ten (10) working days after issuance of the Inspection Order. At the option of the
AGENCY, this contract may be canceled by failure of the CONTRACTOR to begin
work by or on the date specified.
C. All work shall be completed in a professional manner acceptable to the AGENCY. All
materials must be installed in accordance with all applicable Standard Work
Specifications (“SWS”), Community Services Program Manual (“CSPM”), United
States Department of Energy (“DOE”) regulations/program notices, National
Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) Job Task Analysis (JTA), and any other
applicable rules/regulations (copies of the SWS and CSPM are available from the
Agency upon request). All prices are for weatherization measures installed according

herein by reference. Prices should reflect all costs associated with the delivery and
installation. All materials used in the weatherization program must meet the
specifications provided by the AGENCY. All prices for cellulose insulation materials
shall meet federal recycled materials specifications.
D. Other materials may be substituted on a case by case basis with the AGENCY’S
written prior approval.
E. Weatherization measures not specified on the price list will be negotiated with the
CONTRACTOR on a job by job basis (e.g. time and materials) or prices will be
requested through a supplemental bid. The AGENCY reserves the right to delete any
such measure if the price is deemed inappropriate.
F. It will be the responsibility of the AGENCY to identify the work that will be performed
on each house; it will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to perform his/her
own measurements in compliance with any and all local/State Codes and/or
ordinances.
G. CONTRACTOR agrees that time is of the essence and that all work shall be
completed within thirty (30) days of issuance of the Proceed Order and for each
calendar day after expiration of such thirty (30) period that the work is not completed,
CONTRACTOR shall be liable for liquidated damages of $25 per day which shall be
deducted from AGENCY’S payment to CONTRACTOR. Extensions of time for
completion of work may be permitted provided that written requests for extensions
detailing the reasons therefore are received and accepted by AGENCY prior to the
expiration of the initial thirty- (30) day period.
H. The CONTRACTOR shall:
1. Keep the premises broom clean and orderly during the course of the work and
remove debris at the completion of the inspection.
2. Guarantee the work performed for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date
of final acceptance of all the work required by the Agreement.
3. Permit the AGENCY or its designee to examine and inspect the premises where
the Weatherization work is being or has been performed.
4. To protect the property against damage and theft.
5. Repair all surfaces and work damaged by the CONTRACTOR resulting from work

35
hue. Any repairs or corrective actions necessary shall be completed within two (2)
weeks of notification.
I. CONTRACTOR shall procure, at his own expense, all necessary licensing required by
law to perform the inspections released to him under this Contract, and to arrange on
CONTRACTOR’S own time and expense any other miscellaneous charges that might
be necessary to perform the work called for. CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any building permits necessary for the completion of measures
ordered on the IWC.
J. Should any dispute arise in respect to the construction or meaning of the items
contained in the work order, or should any dispute arise in respect to the true value of
the extra work or of the work omitted, or of improper workmanship or materials, or of
any loss sustained by the Owner or the AGENCY, and if the manner of its estimation
is not herein otherwise provided for, the same shall be determined as follows:
Procedures for settling disputes will conform to those policies set forth in the Michigan
Administrative Procedures Act of 1969 (P.A. 306, as amended); Chapter 4, Section
24.271-24.287.
K. CONTRACTOR agrees that he/she will perform all work or his/her employees or
his/her sub-contractors, if any may be used. Minimum material and installation
standards and specifications are identified within ATTACHMENT C hereto; and all
work performed must conform to these standards.
L. CONTRACTOR shall, with respect to AGENCY, be considered an independent
contractor and, as such, shall be solely responsible for the performance, general
direction, supervision and efficient business administration of the work and for the
furnishing of all equipment, tools, and materials necessary to the proper execution of
the work.
M. All work performed by the CONTRACTOR shall be paid for the AGENCY at the prices
indicated on ATTACHMENT B, CONTRACTOR shall invoice AGENCY upon
completion of the job. The invoice form must show the contract number on the invoice.
The CONTRACTOR shall also prepare a detailed invoice support report on a form to
be provided by AGENCY. Acceptance of faulty work or failure to discover defects will
not relieve the CONTRACTOR of responsibility as set forth herein.
N. AGENCY may inspect any completed installation job and withhold payment to the
CONTRACTOR until the installation job has been approved by AGENCY.
CONTRACTOR shall also participate with AGENCY in determining reasonable
corrective measures that may be necessary, and CONTRACTOR will proceed to
complete such reasonable corrective measures at CONTRACTOR’S expense.
If corrective measures are required, an additional inspection of such corrected work
may be made by AGENCY. If such inspection is made, the agency may determine a
reasonable monetary amount which the CONTRACTOR is to compensate AGENCY
36
for the expense related to such additional inspection. Factors that may be included in
this calculation are the reimbursement of the amount of wages and fringe benefits for
inspection staff spent on additional inspections and/or trips to the jobs site (this
includes time spent on the job site as well as in the office), mileage (using the IRS rate
that was in effect on the day that the mileage was incurred), supplies, the use of any
equipment that was used in the inspection.
All sub-contractors that might be used by the CONTRACTOR are bound by the same
requirements, standards, licensing, insurance coverage, and all other provisions
included herein that govern the CONTRACTOR’S activities.
O. The CONTRACTOR agrees hereby to indemnify and save members of the AGENCY
and any of its employees from all suits, actions, or claims of any character, time and
description brought for or because of any damages received or sustained by any
person, persons, or property by or from the successful bidder or by or in consequence
of any neglect in safeguarding the work or in performance of the work or through
defective workmanship or materials, or by or on account of any act, omission, or
misconduct of the CONTRACTOR or any of his/her representatives, servants, or
employees.
P. In the event any suit or other proceedings, for any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge,
or expense covered by the CONTRACTOR’S forgoing indemnity should be brought
against AGENCY or any of its officers, agents, or employees, CONTRACTOR hereby
covenants and agrees to assume the defense thereof and defend the same at
CONTRACTOR’S own expense and to pay any and all costs, charges, attorney’s fees,
and other expenses, and any and all judgments that may be incurred by, or obtained
against AGENCY or any of its officers, agents, or employees in such suits or other
proceedings. In the event of any judgment or other lien being placed upon the property
of AGENCY in such suits or other proceedings, CONTRACTOR shall at once cause
the same to be dissolved and discharged by giving bond or otherwise.
Q. CONTRACTOR shall not use the name of the AGENCY in any of its advertisements,
business forms, or brochures.
IV.
CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE
The AGENCY will track the following data for each CONTRACTOR for each job:
-

Whether the job was completed on time
Condition of job site and customer satisfaction
Accuracy and timeliness of invoices from Contractor to Agency
Accuracy and completeness of the documentation required from contractor
Work not completed in accordance within the standards of applicable building
codes and/or Department of Energy Standard Work Specifications
37
- Invoices submitted in a timely manner, with appropriate back up
documentation.

will be required to attend a meeting at which a Corrective Action Plan will be
developed, along with an explanation of how the items in the Corrective Action Plan will
correct the identified issues.
Jobs will not be issued to the contractor until a Corrective Action Plan has been
implemented. If a contractor has six findings within a 12 month period, the agency will
cease assigning jobs to the deficient contractor and initiate the RFP Process to identify
another contractor to conduct WAP work or work with other contractors on the agency
roster to complete production goals.

to limit any liability or indemnity of the CONTRACTOR to any indemnified party or other
persons.
The CONTRACTOR is responsible for the payment of all deductibles.
If the CONTRACTOR fails to pay any premium for a required insurance policy, of if any
insurer cancels or significantly reduces any required insurance without the AGENCY’s
approval, the AGENCY may, after giving the CONTRACTOR at least 30 days’ notice,
pay the premium or procure similar insurance coverage from another company or
companies. The AGENCY may deduct any part of the cost from any payment due the
CONTRACTOR, or require the CONTRACTOR to pay that cost upon demand.
