commit to this project, the requirement of a performance bond is deemed anon-negotiable <br /> item, and cannot be waived. <br /> • A clear commitment to county ownership at the end of 20 years, or another time frame, at a <br /> set price. Without this information, the committee cannot determine the true costs of such a <br /> large project and the County, as well as the taxpayers, will be placed in a dangerous <br /> position at the end of any contract. The RFP, and subsequent requests for information, <br /> clearly requested you to provide abuy-out cost to the County. <br /> • Cost breakdowns. The cost information provided by you was insufficient in detailing <br /> actual costs for providing the services proposed in the RFP. The committee found that true <br /> costs were not obtainable from the information provided. <br /> • Adequate experience with a representative system. The committee was not provided <br /> evidence of electric power generation and sales experience. Combined with the lack of a <br /> performance bond, the committee determined that your proposal lacked the guarantees and <br /> assurances, in combination with critical operations experience, to justify award of a <br /> contract. <br /> In conclusion, the above issues were among the most critical problems identified in your <br /> proposal.
