Contractors: additional information

The information below will help contractors with questions about the bidding requirements for Efficiency Kansas projects.

  • When preparing bids, you'll want to pay close attention to the detailed specifications the customer gave you, which they received from the energy auditor.
  • All bids must be final bids. Contractors are encouraged to inspect the property thoroughly before submitting bids.
  • When submitting you bid to the customer, remember to include your signed Contractor Terms and Conditions form and, if it is a small-business project, your signed Davis Bacon Acknowledgment form.
  • Under no circumstances will Efficiency Kansas finance more than the amount approved in the Energy Conservation Plan. Amount invoiced can not exceed final bid unless contractor has written approval from the customer to deviate from the original bid. Any excess costs will be the customer's responsibility.
