Colorado Energy Office Call for Pre-Qualified Partners

Completion of this form is Step 1 of the Call for Partners process. 

This call seeks to identify interested partners to be included in one or more federal grant applications, typically under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law or the Iflation Reduction Act, when the CEO will serve as the lead applicant. This is an equal opportunity for entities to identify interest in working with the CEO and in order to be named in federal grant applications. Any final agreements would be dependent on federal award and federal terms and conditions. This is a public posting that could, but may not result in funding or an award. Any future grant agreement is also not guaranteed. The state may utilize other methods to identify potential partners in addition to the responses from this posting. This process applies to grants and therefore is not subject to the State’s procurement code. The specific areas of interest from these legislations are listed below.  

Areas of Interest:
  1. Grid Resilience, Investment and Reliability
  2. Building Decarbonization
  3. Carbon Capture Technology
  4. Clean Hydrogen and Economy
  5. Industrial and Manufacturing Decarbonization
  6. Zero Emission Vehicle Fueling Infrastructure
  7. Making Permitting of Energy Infrastructure More Efficient and Effective
  8. Innovative pilots (financing, technology, program delivery, etc.)
A valid response to this posting deems an entity eligible to engage in a partnership to prepare a federal grant application without guarantee of a future grant agreement. An entity’s response does not commit nor guarantee participation in a grant application with the State of Colorado. This is not a request for pre-selecting providers of goods and services, which will be selected through the state’s procurement process. We are not looking to identify consultants who can assist the State in delivering program elements. This is a request for transparently identifying potential partners who are eligible recipients of federal sub-grants and who are instrumental to the delivery of a project or program authorized by BIL or IRA. 

Step 2: Should an application opportunity arise in the area of interest noted by your organization in the google form submission, the CEO will invite qualifying entities to partner to develop the most competitive federal proposal.
