REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
The MEA has received 12 proposals, of which 3 are fully responsive to the full terms of the MEA request for proposal and the balance of which offer various types of support and possible future development programs.
Those who have had a preliminary view of these three proposals state that they believe that from them they will be able to secure power under the terms proposed during the organizational steps, i.e. 25 % green at or less than PG&E rates and 100% green at no more than 10% above PG&E rates.
Accordingly, the full board has appointed an ad hoc Negotiating Committee, has selected the Shell Corporation as the leading bidder, has approved a draft contract and is negotiating with the Shell Corporation. As of February 11, 2010 a contract has not yet been signed.
