Program Workplan: Project Management Plan

DOE INSTRUCTIONS

The Project Management Plan should contain a high-level description of the anticipated activities to be conducted over the life of the program (e.g., this program will be broken down into four phases: planning and recruitment, engineering and technical assistance, project execution, and outcome synthesis). Applicants should discuss how these activities will lead to achievement of each anticipated milestone and accomplishment of the final program goal(s). Applicants should include key decision points (see below for more information on Go/No-Go decision points). Applicants should describe the specific expected results of each performance period, including milestones aligned with the Community Benefits Plan.

Work will be performed in the following phases: [Expand these bullets as necessary. Provide a detailed timeline on when each milestone will be completed.]

  1. Public hearings and adoption of Appendix CC of the IECC 2021 [or equivalent zero energy code.] 
  2. Establishing an energy disclosure and benchmarking program which is a key component of enforcing the RES.  [Delete this step if one already exists.]
  3. Training of staff and/or recruitment of additional staff to carry out the functions of the program. [Some smaller jurisdictions may choose to hire an outside contractor. Expand to describe the specific functions and the expertise needed, e.g., plan check, field inspection, compliance documentation, COMCheck software support.]
  4. Development of training materials to be used in on-demand and virtual seminars. [Training may consist of one or more pre-recorded training sessions.]
  5. Website development and deployment. [This will likely be a section of the jurisdiction’s existing website. This is where recorded training sessions can be viewed, the RES can be downloaded, and common questions can be answered. Perhaps there is a chat option or at least email support.] 
  6. Design and implementation of the Renewable Energy Investment Fund (REIF). [This won’t be applicable to all jurisdictions.]
