SUMMARY
In September 2023, City Council approved a $1.25 million expenditure plan for the Calpine Clean Energy Fund which allocated $328,000 to install electric heat pump water heaters (HPWH) to low-income households located in census tracts close to the Russell City Energy Center (RCEC). Staff released a Request for Proposal (RFP) in January 2025 to solicit a consultant to be the program manager and contractor for the Program. Staff received and reviewed three proposals and recommends awarding a contract to Larratt Brothers Plumbing (LBP) in an amount not-to-exceed $328,000.
