Introduction
Energy Consultant for Gas & Elec.: Large Nursing Home Group - eWork Markets ID 00000
The current situation you describe in your Request For Proposal (RFP) is the need for consultants
with experience to assist you in an energy audit of your facilities in Ohio. The objective of the audit
is to make recommendations for any needed changes that will provide health, safety and
economical benefits to the owners of the facilities. Priority will be given to economic energy cost
savings.
In the 1970’s the U.S. federal government became very interested in promoting energy audits
across the nation due to the first fuel oil crisis. This trend has continued although priorities have
shifted from administration to administration and several federal government office branches have
been eliminated, nevertheless, the government continues to provide Department of Energy (DOE)
guidelines to homes and businesses regarding energy audits for everything ranging from hot water
heaters and windows to proper insulation for homes and buildings and solar panels. These are the
guidelines we would use to evaluate your buildings. Alternatives include, energy company and
power resource subsidies or your own power generator and switching substation. We will also use
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines provided in the Code of Federal
Regulations.
YSG and Your Corp. are experts in code review, energy audits, engineering and marketing of
various products.
Your Solutions Group (YSG) partners from time to time with other consultants whose specialty is
different from or expands on theirs. For this task, YSG will be partnering with Your Corporation.
Your Corporation will have the principle responsibility of implementing this project.
We hope the following preliminary proposal will describe in as much detail as is possible at this
point, on how to accomplish your project goals.
Additional Services Available
Your Corporation administrates engineering, regulatory compliance, product marketing, patent
process, and environmental consulting services to several sectors of the economy including the
construction, manufacturing, chemical process and pharmaceutical industries. The corporation
sub-contracts additional professional personnel licensed to offer such services, whenever
necessary. The branch which deals with environmental solutions is Your Corporation –
Environmental Consultants.
Business solutions include, Marketing Analysis / Plans and complete Business Plans.
Marketing analysis for our client’s products profile the latest technology and products developed by
competing manufacturing companies world-wide, as also existing patents, trademarks and trade
names, the market share in certain product categories, production facilities, distribution channels,
existing networks of suppliers and contractors, a description of work under development, earnings
and losses statements and an evaluation of the competition.
3
The Marketing Plan is yours to use or to sell to prospective investors of your product. Reviewers
should feel that your product is a natural extension of their already well established product lines,
they should also believe that your product closes a production loop or product line.
At Your Corp., we believe there is a proven strategy for marketing products effectively and
profitably. If all you need is a regulatory review, we can help with this aspect exclusively. Please
refer to the Scope of Work of this proposal if there are any doubts about our strategies.
