RFP# 044-25 Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS)

RFP# 044-25

Deadline: May 9, 2025 5:00 pm

RFP#044-25 DERMS

The City of Burlington, VT Electric Department (BED), Vermont Public Power Supply Authority (VPPSA), and Washington Electric Cooperative (WEC) are soliciting Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) proposals to support a robust, multi-device software solution for flexible load management (FLM). This solicitation is being issued by BED on behalf of all three Soliciting Entities (BED, VPPSA, and WEC). The Soliciting Entities are seeking similar FLM/energy management capabilities, but there are also differences in priority use cases and planned program design among the Entities. Vendors may respond to this RFP for one, two, or all three of the Soliciting Entities (vendors need not respond to requirements for all three Soliciting Entities in order to be considered). Follow-up demonstrations will be conducted jointly as far as possible, but each Soliciting Entity will evaluate proposals based on their individual priorities and scoring criteria. Each Soliciting Entity’s DERMS solution will be an independent tenant/installation. While the Entities will seek to negotiate jointly, each Entity will have an independent contract with the selected vendor(s) and, if a joint solution cannot be found that is economical and meets the requirements for all Entities, each Entity reserves the right to negotiate separately with the vendor of its choice.
