Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 39, September 25, 2024
(a) Processing.
(1) Completed program
applications for rebates will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
A program application shall be considered complete only when all of the
information required under subdivision (b) of this section has been submitted
to the Energy Office.
(b) Application contents. Each program rebate application submitted to the Energy Office shall contain the following materials:
(1) a completed application
form;
(2) a signed certification
that the application satisfies the eligibility requirements for the program as
stated in section
7920.3 of
this Part;
(3) where required, a
focused energy analysis consistent with the requirements of section
7920.8 of
this Part;
(4) documentation of
total estimated project cost, including:
(i)
two contractors' estimates which detail the cost estimates for each energy
conservation measure to be implemented. Cost estimates and schedules must
reflect the total installed cost of each measure, including materials, labor,
and construction management and design fees; or
(ii) two suppliers' estimates for supplying
the materials for those projects to be installed with in-house or uncompensated
labor;
(iii) the applicant must
designate the contractor(s) and supplier(s) selected. If the contractor(s) and
supplier(s) offering the lowest estimates are not selected, the Energy Office
may request adequate justification for the selection;
(iv) if in-kind services are included in the
total cost of installing a proposed project, a description of such services
shall be provided as follows:
(a) for labor,
the total value of labor, including the applicable wage rates and projected
hours to be worked on the proposed project; and
(b) for materials to be installed or
equipment to be used on the job site, a list of such materials or equipment,
their proposed use, and the value assigned; and
(v) the Energy Office, in its discretion, may
waive the requirements in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph that the
applicant submit two contractors' and/or suppliers' estimates where the
applicant demonstrates good cause for such waiver and the reasonableness of the
proposed cost. As used herein, good cause means an unanticipated circumstance
or event which, despite the due diligence of the applicant, renders compliance
with program requirements impracticable;
(5) where required, energy savings
calculations. All calculations must be based on generally accepted engineering
standards;
(6) authorization from
the building owner to undertake the energy conservation measures, where the
program application is being submitted by someone other than the building
owner;
(7) where two or more
applicants occupying the same building seek to implement any energy
conservation measure which would be mutually beneficial ( e.g., boiler
replacement or HVAC improvements that would affect more than one applicant in a
building), such applicants may submit a single program application. Such
application shall include a designation of one of the applicants as the project
manager;
(8) certification that any
required approvals from organizations having oversight authority for the
applicant's activities have been obtained; and
(9) such additional information as may be
required by the Energy Office.
