The Long Island Power Authority (Authority), with the assistance of the Department of Public Service (DPS), invites proposals from experienced individuals/firms in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP) to conduct an Independent Evaluation of LIPAs recovery of costs through its Fuel and Purchased Power Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) clause. The Authority expects to engage a single individual/firm in response to this RFP, subject to the minimum threshold criteria set forth in Section V below. Proposers may use sub-consultants to meet the threshold criteria and complete the scope of work, as set forth below; however, Proposers may not submit joint proposals (i.e., proposals that would require more than one contract award).
