High Priority Transmission Corridor Study Service

The government authority in Olympia, WA requires a vendor to provide a high priority transmission corridor study service. The buyer needs the vendor to analyze and develop a study evaluating the need for expanded transmission capacity to improve regional electricity flow and grid reliability. The requested scope includes reviewing, compiling, and summarizing existing transmission plans from regional electric utilities, transmission providers, and independent power producers. The vendor must conduct a prioritization process to create a recommended shortlist of high-priority transmission corridors and analyze transmission development costs and benefits to Washington ratepayers to the extent possible. Additionally, the vendor must prepare materials for recurring coordination meetings and design an engagement process for tribes, utilities, developers, and community members. The buyer restricts eligibility to onshore USA organizations. The vendor must perform the work onsite. The buyer is looking for proposals regarding the budget, but the text provides no specific evaluation criteria or key dates.
