RFP 20_1868 Schedule B_Utility Scale Solar.xlsx

This is a pricing schedule for Request For Proposal No. 200000001868 issued by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources for utility-scale solar energy development leases. The RFP solicits proposals for solar photovoltaic systems to be developed on two sites: the Groveland Mine Site and the 7 Mile Pit Site. Bidders are required to submit detailed project proposals for each site, including descriptive project names, proposed acreage during the development phase, estimated installed power capacity in megawatts-AC, and estimated annual energy generation in megawatt-hours. The contract structure includes two distinct phases: a Development Lease period with site control and a Surface Use Lease period covering construction and operations with a fixed 25-year term.

Bidders must submit fixed-price proposals for both the Development phase and the Surface Use Lease phase on a per-acre-year basis. The pricing schedule requires bidders to specify the estimated duration of the development term and the estimated final acreage to be leased during the construction and operations phase. Contractors certifying their proposals must attest that prices were determined independently without consultation or agreement with other bidders, and multiple proposals for the same project must be mutually exclusive. The pricing schedule must be submitted in a modifiable format such as Microsoft Excel or Word, with optional non-modifiable PDF submissions permitted. Failure to complete the pricing schedule as requested may result in proposal disqualification.
