Please select the type of technical assistance you would like to receive. The options are described in the Funding Opportunity Announcement under the "LIST OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT MAY BE REQUESTED" section. Assistance in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3a (for a solar canopy) may be requested at the same time. Assistance in paragraphs 3b, 3c, 4 and 5 may only be requested after solar siting has been completed.*

Describe the technical assistance required and any factors that should be considered to provide a scope of the request. In your response, please also describe your organization’s readiness to participate, including any dedicated staff, time commitment, and effort that will be provided to support the technical assistance process (e.g., coordinating site access, providing data, reviewing deliverables, and participating in discussions)*

Describe how the technical assistance report will be used. How does it become a solar project?*

Describe any known constraints that could limit the solar project's location*

Describe the final deliverable requested*

A site map showing the location of the building(s) and property that should be considered. An image from Google Earth/Maps © is preferred, however a digital/print photograph is acceptable. As appropriate, include a photo of any issue that should be specifically considered as part of the technical assistance. *

Evidence of the Applicant's control of the project site for at least 15 years in the form of a recorded deed or other appropriate documentation (as determined by MEA).*

Statement that the Applicant is committed to sign a Letter of Agreement between MEA and the Applicant's Organization for the provision of required information.*

IRS Form W-9 for the applicant*

I understand that technical assistance requires collaboration between our organization, the Maryland Energy Administration, and the contractor. Our organization agrees to participate in discussions, provide necessary data and documentation, respond to information requests in a timely manner, and remain engaged throughout the process. Our organization will ensure that MEA’s contractor has reasonable access to buildings, sites, and relevant areas as needed to complete assessments or inspections. Our organization confirms that it has the authority to grant such access or will coordinate with the appropriate property owner or manager to do so.*

I agree

Use of Personal Information

In accordance with Md. Code Ann., Section 4-501(c) of the General Provision Article, MEA advises Applicants of the following:

Information requested by the Application is necessary to document the completion of the project and to assure installation of a qualifying system.
Failure to provide any and all required information may result in ineligibility for a grant and termination of any grant award.
MEA is subject to Maryland’s Public Information Act and information provided may be subject to disclosure upon request for inspection. Except for purposes directly associated with this Program, including processing your technical assistance application, personal information or confidential business information will not be disclosed, unless required by law or court order.
As set forth in Sections 4-502 et. seq. of the General Provision Article, you have the right to inspect, amend, or correct your personal record.

American Manufactured Goods

This application is for technical assistance only. However, if the solar project is constructed, the requirements in §§ 14-416 and 17-303 of the State Finance and Procurement Article may be applicable.

Project Location Workforce Requirement

This application is a request for technical assistance only. However, if the MEA funding is subsequently used to support the construction of a solar project, the installer will be required to comply with §§ 9-20B-05 of the State Government Article, which requires that at least 80% of workers participating in a project or program that receives money from the SEIF must reside within 50 miles of the project or program. As the Public Building Solar Grant Program is a statewide program, MEA will determine compliance based on whether at least 80% of worksite workers reside in Maryland, or within 50 miles of Maryland's borders.

I attest that I have not made, and will not knowingly make or cause to be made, any false statement or report in any document required to be furnished by MEA in relation to the Grant Program subject to the penalties set forth in MD Code Ann., § 9-20B-11 of the State Gov't Article.
