Detailed Checklist for Low Income Residential Projects
  • Step One
    Which Measures Do I Choose? Decide which measures you want to have installed. In this packet you will find the paper entitled Recommendations. This sheet lists all measures eligible for the program. Please note: Since our budget is limited, your eligibility for funding is valid for 60 days after you receive this information. If it has been more than 60 days, please call our office for further assistance.
  • Step Two
    Obtain Bids and Return Funding Request. Obtain at least two bids from state licensed contractors (the Lane Electric Weatherization Contractors List provides contact information for many qualifying area contractors). Each contractor must fill out a Uniform Bid Sheet. Return these bids along with the completed Notice of Bid Preference / Income Statement (green form). Be sure to indicate the contractor(s) you have selected to perform the work.
    If you elect to do the work yourself, contact the Energy Services Department and request a Do-It-Yourself Guide. Next, fill out a Uniform Bid Sheet showing all of your estimated material costs. Return your bid and the Notice of Bid Preference / Program Option form, entering “Do-it-yourself” under the contractor heading. Grants for DYI projects require prior approval by the Lane Electric Energy Services Department.
  • Step Three
    Loan / Direct Fund Approval. Grant approval will come from Lane Electric within 14 days. Please do not obligate yourself to a contractor or begin work yourself before you receive fund authorization from Lane Electric.
  • Step Four
    Install Measures. After grant approval, contact your selected contractor and have them (or yourself) begin the work.
  • Step Five
    Inspection Request. Once the work is complete, please contact the Energy Services Department at Lane Electric to schedule a final inspection appointment.
  • Step Six
    Contractor Payment. Lane Electric will issue grant funds to the contractor after inspections and approval. Any remaining balance owed to the contractor exceeding the $1500 grant limit will be the responsibility of the homeowner.
