Though not subject to the Renewable Energy Standard (RES), SAFB is a customer of Mountain View Electric Association (MVEA), a Rural Electric Co-Op distribution utility with power provided by TriStates Generating & Transmission (TSGT), both regulated operations in Colorado that are subject to compliance with the RES. Prospective developers responding to this Sources Sought Announcement must be willing to prepare and submit a proposal to TSGT as a third-party developer for a utility/customer sited system at SAFB. SAFB expects the developer to be capable of designing, financing and installing a hybrid ground-mounted system that can produce a 16,000 to 35,000 MWH AC per year. The system will be located on Federal government property at the SAFB site in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Approximately two hundred (200) acres of land will be available for the project. In addition, SAFB expects the developer to own, operate and maintain the system. SAFB anticipates that the financial structure for the project will include the following elements: (1) a 20-year power purchase agreement from SAFB to purchase the entire electric output of the system; (2) a rebate payment from TSGT to the developer payable upon confirmation of the Commercial Operation Date; (3) the developer shall arrange for the sale of all Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SO-RECs) generated for a 20-year period; (4) any Federal or state tax credits for which the developer may be eligible shall be applied for; (5) the developer shall make application to/for any and all other financial assistance programs i.e. CREBS or loan guarantees; and (6) storage capability equal to 10MW for 6 hours. Prospective developers must be willing to enter into specific agreements with various parties which may be involved in the successful execution of this project. These agreements include the following: (1) a no-cost lease/easement with SAFB for use and access to the land; (2) a power purchase agreement for the electricity generated by the system; (3) a site use agreement with SAFB for installation, operation and maintenance activities conducted at the site; (4) a third-party rebate contract with TSGT/MVEA; and (5) a third-party SO-REC purchase contract for all SO-RECs generated.
