To Bidders:
On October 2, 2007, PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Utah Commission requesting expedited treatment to amend its 2012 Request for Proposals (RFP). PacifiCorp's motion requests Commission authorization to amend the 2012 RFP as follows: (1) to modify the schedule in Section 2, whereby the proposal response date would change from June 19, 2007 to January 18, 2008, permitting new and existing bidders an opportunity to submit new bids or refresh their existing bids; (2) to eliminate the upfront request for qualifications procedure and instead, require submission of an intent to bid form; to modify the qualifications requirements so that new bidders will be required to submit qualifications appendices with their bids and existing bidders will only need to update qualification appendices if information has changed; and to only require bidders (new and existing) to post acceptable commitment letters or letters of credit within ten business days following notification of their selection to the initial shortlist; and (3) to update the 2012 benchmark resources by including resources located at the existing Lake Side site and/or the existing Currant Creek site.
Bidders should check the Documents section of this website for the Motion that PacifiCorp filed in this proceeding.
