- Description
- Sources Sought for Wind for Schools (WfS) Project Sustainability Plan National Renewable Energy Laboratory issue Sources Sought for Wind for Schools (WfS) Project Sustainability Plan: The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is issuing a formal Sources Sought for organizations interested in developing a Sustainability Plan for the Wind for Schools project. This formal Sources Sought request will help identify organizations wanting to respond to a future Request for Proposal (RFP). In this case, submitting a proposal for the Sources Sought is a prerequisite for any applicant wishing to submit a response to a future RFP. Background: To help ensure the long-term viability of the WfS project, NREL/DOE are implementing a project Sustainability Plan. The first step of this effort is identifying an organization that will take a leadership role in ensuring the sustainability of the WfS project, making it more independent from NREL/DOE funding while continuing the mission of promoting wind energy education and workforce development at the university and K-12 levels. As the United States dramatically expands wind energy deployment, the industry is challenged with developing a skilled workforce to support it. To address this challenge, NREL/DOE developed the WfS project to expand wind energy educational opportunities for university and secondary students. Through this project, more than 135 small wind turbines were installed at host schools across the nation, providing direct examples of wind energy to many communities. Through these host school projects, thousands of students at all grade levels received wind energy education, with lesson plans based on the wind energy data being generated from each school's turbine. Each of the 12 states working on the project created a Wind Application Center at a host university, giving hundreds of college students the opportunity to not only study wind energy in the classroom but also to engage in hands-on project installation and management of the host K-12 school turbine projects within their state. Many of these students have found employment in the expanding wind industry. If interested, please provide your response and required information no later than January 26, 2016 to the NREL Primary Point of Contact. Sources Sought Information must include the following: • Point of Contact information (mailing address and email) • Description of potential project development Team (including resumes as attachments) • Describe past experience in developing and/or implementing sustainability projects in the non-profit sector (including references at each organization) • Describe amounts of funding raised (include whether funding was one-time or annual) • Description of recent experience working in educational program development Interested parties should send Sources Sought Information via email directly to: maurice.nelson@nrel.gov. Sources Sought Information shall not exceed five (5) pages (plus attachments). The Sources Sought Information subject line should read as follows: Sources Sought "Wind for Schools (WfS) Project Sustainability Plan"
