· What measures will be provided to the typical mobile home? Please include the number of units installed on a per-measure basis. (e.g. X # compact fluorescent lightbulbs.)
· Will the services provided to mobile home residents include the conduction of Combustion Appliance Safety testing? If so, please provide the budget details associated with this work, on a per-test basis.
· Does the program intend to include safeguards to ensure that, on the whole, a comprehensive package of energy efficiency measures will be delivered to mobile home residents? If so, please provide details of these safeguards.
· Please provide details on hot water heater timers (p. 11 of proposal), including the process for enrolling residents on time-of-use rates. These details should include full and incremental cost per hot water heater timer.
· Please provide details on how proposed program will change the process a tenant would take for participating in local water company programs. (p. 11 of proposal). If program funds will be used to augment incentives local water utilities are offering for water-saving devices, please provide details on proposed augmentation. These details should be outlined on both a per-measure basis, and include the number of estimated units rebated per measure. Finally, please provide details on the installation costs the customer would pay, per measure.
· Does the program intend to include safeguards to ensure that contractors do not use public purpose funds to promote services not included under this program? (i.e. Contractor promotes own services to residents when conducting program work.) If so, please provide details of these safeguards.
· The program proposed to target the greater Bay Area counties (p. 14 of proposal), and the Fresno-King-Kern area. Please segment the budget according to these two territories, and section costs on a per-apartment basis.
