ProSidian seeks a Professional Engineering Energy Management Project Facilitator (PF) to provide Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Project Facilitation (PF) Services for Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) Project services to support the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) objectives for alternatively financed energy projects, in particular a Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) project for the General Services Administration (GSA) Region 9, Multiple Locations in San Diego, CA, Amistad Port Of Entry (POE), Tecate Port Of Entry (POE) and Otay Port Of Entry (POE). FEMP recommends the use of an experienced DOE approved Project Facilitator (PF) by all agencies pursuing projects under the UESC program.

Project facilitation services are expected to be delivered consistently following a standardized process that has been developed and refined by DOE FEMP with other agency input over its many years of supporting Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC), Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC), and other energy-related project development.
