Request for proposals : economic analysis of Hawaii's proposed geothermal-inter-island cable project

"The purpose of this Request for Proposals is to select a consultant to perform an economic analysis of the geothermal/cable project to guide public and private decisions. The analysis shall compare the cost of electricity developed and transmitted by the geothermal/cable project with other major existing or proposed electrical generating alternatives on Oahu, specifically petroleum and coal. While the goal of the geothermal/cable project is 500 megawatts, the analysis shall also include capacities of 125, 250, 375, and 625 megawatts so that information on the relative size economies is also available. The purposes of the study that will result from this RFP is to provide government (Governor, Legislature. DBED, Governor's Advisory Board on the Geothermal/Cable Project, and the three involved counties) and private (utilities, prospective geothermal/cable developer, contractors and suppliers, financing organizations) decision-makers with information of the economic viability of the geothermal/cable project compared to other alternatives for supplying large quantities of baseload electricity namely oil and coal. An objective of this study is to not only determine the economic feasibility, but to also identify and discuss those risk elements and non-quantifiable benefits that would affect any decision to proceed with the development of the Hawaii Geothermal/Cable development program.

Request for proposals : development of a master plan, transmission line routing study, and environmental impact statement for Hawaii's proposed geothermal/inter-island cable project

This letter is to invite your proposal to prepare a Master Development Plan, conduct a public involvement program, conduct an evaluation of overland transmission corridors and prepare a routing report, conduct a public involvement program, and prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the development of 500 megawatts (net) of geothermal resource in the Kilauea East Rift Zone on the Island of Hawaii and transmit it to Maui and Oahu via an inter-island electrical transmission system. The Master Development Plan is desired by the end of 1989. It is expected that the location and selection of overland transmission line corridors will take place in 1989, with the preparation of routing report to be completed in 1990. It is expected that this routing study be conducted with the full benefit of a public involvement program. With the completion of the master plan and routing work, the State desires an Environmental Impact Statement which will lead to the permitting of the project. Permitting assistance will be requested as a separate additive proposal item under this solicitation. Proposals are due no later than April 13, 1989. The attached Notice of Intent to Respond is due no later than March 29, 1989. Attached, for your information and use, is a brief description of the purpose and intended scope of this project
