Section 19.1.10.15 - APPLICATION EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR PROJECTS FROM THE NEW MEXICO MORTGAGE FINANCE AUTHORITY

Applications will be scored by the division based on the following criteria, that include but are not limited to:

A.Application completeness. The division will review the entire application to see that it contains all application requirements for the specific project type.

B.Capability to meet the scope of work described. The division will consider the project timeline, appropriateness of energy efficiency measures to be implemented, qualifications of project team members including subcontractors and community partners, and the ability to complete the project financially if the total budget exceeds the amount requested.

C.Budgetary considerations. The division will consider the total proposed budget as well as the average amount requested per household, prioritizing applications which propose to maximize project benefits in the community to the greatest extent feasible. The division may ask the applicant for additional documents to support the proposed budget if deemed necessary.

D.Energy reduction potential. The division will consider the estimated reduction of energy use that will come from implementation of the proposed measures, the estimated reduction of energy cost that will come from implementation of the proposed measures, and the estimated reduction in carbon intensity of energy consumption from implementation of the proposed measures. The division will also consider if the community served would not be likely to otherwise receive energy efficiency improvements through other state programs.

E.Geographic diversity. The division will consider if the application would promote the geographic diversity of the portfolio of community energy efficiency projects.

F.Partnership experience. The division will consider the experience of each community partner and service provider identified in the application in working with the targeted underserved community.

G.Additional criteria. The division will consider if the application would help create a portfolio of community energy efficiency projects that would best meet the goals of the CEED Block Grant Act.
