RFP Amendment 3.pdf

Amendment 3 is a Request for Proposal (RFP) document issued by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS), State Procurement Services on behalf of the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) for the Community Solar Program. The amendment modifies key dates for RFP S-DASOBO-10700-00012436, specifically changing the Opening Date and Time from April 8th, 2025, 3:00 PM to April 30, 2025, 3:00 PM, and adjusting the Opening of Proposal date from April 9th to May 1st. The pre-proposal conference is scheduled for January 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with questions due by January 24, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The Notice of Intent to Award is anticipated in August/September 2025, with the Award Protest Period ending 7 calendar days after the Notice of Intent to Award.

The amendment preserves the original procurement's objective of selecting a Program Administrator for the Community Solar Program, with no changes to the fundamental scope of work. The solicitation seeks a contractor to manage, maintain, and operate the program, with responsibilities including program administration, platform management, utility integration, and consumer protection services. Proposers must be prepared to use the existing Mendix low-code development platform and transition program administrator responsibilities by January 1, 2026. While specific financial details are not outlined in this amendment, the previous RFP context suggests a three-year contract term with potential renewals, covering program operations from 2025-2028, and managing approximately 160MW of solar capacity.
