Amendment 5 Billing Options.docx

Amendment 5 to RFQ 26-136580 is a billing options notice issued by Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU), comprising the Connecticut State University System, Connecticut State Community College, and Charter Oak State College, regarding electricity procurement through a reverse auction format. The amendment clarifies that CSCU will accept dual or consolidated billing for all pricing products in which the Day-Ahead Ancillary Services Initiative (DASI) is treated as a pass-through component. Bidders are required to indicate their preferred billing product option as part of their technical submission and must acknowledge receipt of Amendment 5 along with all other previously issued amendments. The original submission deadline of February 24, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. applies, with the reverse auction scheduled for March 5, 2026, on the EnelX exchange portal.

The amendment addresses a critical operational detail regarding how suppliers will be billed for ancillary services costs, allowing flexibility in billing structure while maintaining consistency with the overall procurement framework. Acknowledgment of the amendment by the printed contractor name, proposer/authorized official name, and authorized official signature is mandatory for technical submission compliance. All other terms, conditions, and specifications of the RFQ remain unchanged, and bidders should direct any procurement inquiries to Cynthia Shea-Luzik at cynthia.shealuzik@ct.edu.
