Scoring CRITERIA The Project Narrative (Attachment 4) must respond to each criterion unless otherwise indicated. The responses must directly relate to the solicitation requirements and focus as stated in Section I.A. and Section II.B. Failure to comply with the solicitation could be grounds for application rejection as stated in Section IV.C. Any estimates of energy savings or GHG impacts should be calculated as specified in the References for Calculating Energy End-Use and GHG Emissions (Attachment 12), to the extent that the references apply to the proposed project.
