Scope

The federal funding available through the DOE grant enables Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services to further develop County codes, ultimately leading to the Net Zero Energy and Full Electrification Code adoption over the next two code cycles in 2029.

Explanation of Code Cycle: The International Code Council (ICC) usually publishes codes by March of the cycle year. The ICC cycle year is every three years, i.e., 2021, 2024, 2027, etc. The State of Maryland adopts new codes within 18 months after they are published by ICC. This does not always happen; the State of Maryland adopted the 2021 Codes approximately 27 months after ICC publication. The Maryland Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) are required to adopt (and amend if desired) the state codes within 12 months of state adoption. Montgomery County adopted the 2021 codes in December of 2024. The code cycle for the 2024 codes is accelerated and the State of Maryland is expected to publish the 2024 codes in September 2025. As such, the 2021 code cycle will be shorter than 3 years. The 2021 code cycle in Montgomery County will run from December 2021 until approximately October 2026. The 2024 code cycle will run until 2029 when the 2027 codes should be adopted. When the codes are adopted, there is usually a few months before the codes begin being enforced.

DPS is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking proposals from training or energy related entities (Contractors) to develop an Energy Codes and Standards Training and Education Program, for the upcoming 2024 and 2027 Montgomery County Energy Codes, with the following task:

• Develop a training curriculum and modules for energy codes and related permitting processes, as the basis for the Energy Codes and Standards Training and Education
