Was Margaret quoting $1500-2000 per building based on the deliverable requirements of the EECGB grant (ASHRAE Level II Audit)or on doing a "deep dive" audit? I'm concerned about putting together the grant request with such a wide discrepancy. (Clay Mitchell's firm, SDES was $5 - 7,000/bldg.)
I did not get an answer from the Selectmen (Bill and Bill) regarding the requirements for going out to bid, so I called and spoke with Barbara. She said we did not need to formally put the work out to bid until we had the grant funds, but should get three to four estimates. I will also call the Jordan Institute to get an estimate from them. Any other suggestions?

Dear Michelle:
I spoke at length with Margaret Dillon about the ball park costs of energy audits as described in the bid document. She said it depends on the size of the building, but on average for a real, effective, deep dive audit, which may require the auditor calling in an engineer to evaluate HVAC systems etc, we may want to budget between $1500 - $2000 per building. She said we should check with Clay Mitchell's company too because they do very good work.
Peace,
