**3. STATEMENT OF WORK AND SPECIFICATIONS**

> **3.1 REC Acquisition Requirements:** Western is requesting firm,
> fixed, per-MWh unit price offers for the annual transfer of RECs on
> behalf of any or all of the Parties for terms beginning September 2008
> and ending September 30, 2019. Attachment 1 to this RFP outlines the
> Party(ies), the amount of RECs (in MWh or dollars) that the Party(ies)
> seeks to acquire per year, and, as applicable, the type of resource
> and location of generation.
>
> **3.2 Proposal Criteria:** Western will consider proposals that offer
> to supply all or part of the RECs for the Party(ies) as set forth in
> Attachment 1. Western may aggregate two or more proposals to meet the
> requirements of this RFP. The RECs to be purchased shall meet, at a
> minimum, the renewable energy definitions as stated in [Section 203 of
> the 2005 Energy Policy
> Act](http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/about/legislation_epact_05.html).
> REC requirements that exceed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 minimum
> standard are set forth in Attachment 1. All RECs to be provided under
> this acquisition must be generated in states served by Western or the
> Bonneville Power Administration, except as specified in Attachment 1.
> In addition, the RECs purchased by Western under this RFP must be from
> generation plants that began generating after January 1,1999, except
> as specified in Attachment 1, all of which must be generated in the
> same fiscal year (FY) for which the RECs are purchased. **Fiscal year
> is defined as October 1 through September 30**.
>
> **3.3 Start Date:** The expected start date for transfer of the RECs
> shall be as soon as practicable after the REC Contract award, which is
> anticipated to be no later than September 22, 2008.
>
> **3.4 Renewable Energy Certification:** Offerors must certify that the
> RECs are "green" using one of the following certification methods: a
> nationally recognized renewable electricity certification program such
> as Green-e, TerraChoice, or similar program; an independent auditor's
> report; or a third-party certification methodology approved by a state
> governmental entity, a regional transmission entity, or power pool in
> which the renewable resource is located. Certification is subject to
> the approval of Western and the Party(ies) prior to the REC Contract
> award. The Renewable Energy Certification method will be included in
> the REC Contract.
>
> **3.5 Renewable Energy Verification:** Western requires the offeror
> and the generator to submit verification forms ([see]{.underline}
> Attachments 2 and 3) describing the resource and amounts generated in
> the Contract year. Further, they both must attest that the RECs have
> not been sold, marketed, or transferred to another party outside of
> this REC Contract, or otherwise presented as a component of its energy
> product and must contain all their original environmental attributes.
>
> **3.6 Transfer of REC Title:** Upon receipt of the payment from the
> Party(ies) to the supplier, the supplier will subsequently transfer
> the applicable RECs to the Party(ies). The RECs transferred to the
> Party(ies) under and pursuant to this Agreement will be represented by
> a certificate, hereinafter called a Transfer Certificate. An
> authenticated copy of this Transfer Certificate will be provided to
> Western. A generator may be required to use WREGIS or similar REC
> tracking services, which in turn might require Western to use the
> system as well with a REC purchase and ownership transfer. See WREGIS
> at: <http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/about.htm>.
>
> **3.7 Invoice and Payment:** All invoicing shall be based on the total
> RECs purchased by the Party(ies) on an annual (fiscal year) basis,
> beginning on the actual start date of the REC Contract. The RECs
> invoiced under the REC Contract must be generated in accordance with
> the proposal criteria set forth in Section 3.2. The Contractor will
> only be permitted to invoice for charges allowed under the terms and
> conditions of the REC Contract. The invoicing address will be
> specified therein. All invoices must be accompanied by a fully
> completed Certificate of Transfer.
>
> **3.8 Additional REC Amounts:** The Party(ies) may request Western to
> contract for (1) the transfer of RECs for additional facilities or (2)
> the transfer of additional REC amounts for the facilities described in
> this RFP. If Western considers the request within the original scope
> of the REC Contract, Western shall provide the Contractor with the
> additionally desired REC amounts, and the two will discuss whether to
> extend the full terms and conditions of the REC Contract to cover the
> proposed additional purchase.

**4. RFP SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:** Offerors must fully address each of
the following submission requirements to be considered for this
solicitation:

> **4.1** **Contact Information:** Offerors must provide: company name,
> contact person, mailing address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail
> address.
>
> **4.2 Renewable Energy Facilities and REC Amounts:** Offerors must
> provide the following information: the Part(ies) they propose to serve
> with RECs (see Attachment 1); a firm, fixed, per-MWh REC price for the
> entire contract term; type of resource (e.g., solar, wind, biomass,
> etc.); the location of the generating facility from which the RECs
> originate; the renewable generating facility operational date of the

> RECs. Past performance may also include Federal and non-Federal
> customer references. The offeror agrees to permit Western's
> representatives to contact the listed references and inquire about the
> offeror's past performance.

**5. EVALUATION CRITERIA**

> **5.1 Best Value:** Utilizing the flexibility allowed under Western's
> power marketing authority, Western intends to award one or more REC
> Contracts to an offeror(s) that Western considers as providing the
> best overall value and that otherwise meets the terms of this RFP.
>
> **5.2 Submission Requirements:** Offers will be considered for
> evaluation if they comply with the submission requirements set forth
> under Section 4. Western may seek additional information for, or
> clarification of, individual offers as needed.
>
> **5.3 Past Performance:** The offerors' past performance (if any)
> shall be considered. Offerors with no past performance will receive a
> neutral past performance assessment.
>
> **5.4 Consideration:** REC firm, fixed, per-MWh unit price and
> offerors' past performance (if any) shall be considered in evaluating
> which qualified offers provide the best overall value, with firm,
> fixed, per-MWh unit price weighted more heavily than past performance.

**6. POTENTIAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY ISSUES:**

> **6.1 Contingent on Appropriations:** Where activities provided for in
> the REC Contract extend beyond an individual fiscal year, continued
> expenditures by the Party(ies) may be contingent upon Congress or a
> local government making available the necessary appropriations
> required for the continued performance under the REC Contract. In case
> such appropriation is not made, leaving a Party(ies) without funding
> to purchase RECs, Western and the Party(ies) shall be released from
> the contractual obligation to purchase RECs from the Contractor and
> shall incur no liability whatsoever due to the failure of Congress or
> local government to make such appropriation.
>
> **6.2 Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards:** The REC Contract, to
> the extent that it is of a character specified in Section 103 of the
> Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (Act), 40 U.S.C. § 329
> (1986), will be subject to the provisions of the Act, 40 U.S.C. §§
> 327-333 (1986), and to regulations promulgated by the Secretary of
> Labor pursuant to the Act.
>
> **6.3 Equal Opportunity Employment Practices:** Section 202 of
> Executive Order No. 11246, 30 Fed. Reg. 12319 (1965), as amended by
> Executive Order No. 12086, 43 Fed. Reg. 46501 (1978), as amended or
> supplemented, which provides, among other things, that the offeror
> will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
> because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, will be
> incorporated by reference into the REC Contract.
>
> **6.4 Use of Convict Labor:** The offeror agrees to not employ any
> person undergoing sentence of imprisonment in performing the REC
> Contract except as provided by 18 U.S.C. § 3622(c) as amended or
> supplemented, and Executive Order 11755, 39 Fed. Reg. 779 (1973), as
> amended or supplemented.
