Questions and Responses Industry Day, Fort Drum– 24 January 2013
1. Will the Army indemnify the Project for the condition of the land?
Answer – The contract will not include any form of Government indemnification.
2. Is the biomass requirement mentioned in the RFP the only source or would you entertain an additional capability – a waste to energy project to become net zero for waste?
Answer – Biomass is a requirement for CLIN 0001. Waste to energy is acceptable for CLIN 0002 provided it is classified as Renewable Energy as defined by Energy Policy Act of 2005.
3. If the $0.056/kWh cost is not offered by anyone, will the next best price be considered or will there be no award?
Answer – The Government will contemplate award if the offered price meets or beats the $0.056/kWh value.
Prices above this level will not be considered. See Section B.1.4.
4. John Nelson stated the cut-off date for questions on the RFP is February 15. L.1 states that questions will be entertained up to 14 days prior to solicitation closing date. Please Clarify.
Answer – In order to have sufficient time to provide answers to the questions and maintain the closing date a cut-off date of February 15 is needed.
5. How do they determine the endangered species on site? Who is the contact?
Answer -. POCs: Jim Miller at 607-753-9334 and Robyn Niver at 607-753-9334.
6. The greyfield was once the site of a mobile asphalt plant.
a. Were there any hazardous material/waste spills at the site during that period?
Answer – No not to our knowledge
b. If so, is there any residual contamination at the site?
Answer - No
7. How will utilities for process loads be supplied?
Answer – See Section C.18.
8. Is the project required to interconnect with the NYISO? If so, will EITF do the interconnection study?
Answer - Provider is responsible for interconnection study.
9. Can the Project bid capability to the regional grid?
Answer – Yes, see Section C.3.2.6.
10. Will EITF consider a price adjuster to account for changes in biomass prices over time?
Answer – No, a price adjuster will not be allowed.
11. When does escalation start (e.g. at closing, at in-service date)?
Answer – Escalation may begin in year two. See Section B.1.4.
12. Will EITF entertain different pricing structures as long as they are at or below $0.056/kWh for 4.88% (revised to
3.6% see Amendment 0003)? For example, maybe a higher price with lower escalation for a period followed by a lower price with higher escalation later. This helps in repaying debt financing which is likely to have a term shorter than the term of the PPA.
Answer – No, the Government will only consider costs that do not exceed $0.056/kWh in the first year of delivery and a maximum annual escalation rate of 3.6% thereafter.
13. What is a REC?
Answer - RECs are environmental attributes associated with renewable energy generation. See “REC” in Section B.1.
14. What is the relationship between this and the MATOC?
