The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority ("RFTA") is seeking comments on a Best Practices questionnaire that will accompany a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation for a long term wholesale natural gas contract. This natural gas will be converted to Compressed Natural Gas ("CNG"). This RFP is expected to be released sometime in 2013.
The Best Practices questionnaire will be included in the evaluation and scoring criteria in the formal RFP. The questionnaire will provide proposers an opportunity to be awarded bonus points in the evaluation process for their compliance with the questionnaire. There is no penalization for non-compliance.
