RFP for Investment Grade Wind Study: Goals, Procedures, and Background

This Request for Proposals (RFP) outlines a project aimed at assessing the feasibility of developing utility-scale wind turbines in collaboration with local partners, including the City of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. It highlights the bid procedures, evaluation process, and project goals. The study will investigate wind resources at varying heights and correlate data with existing towers. Key aspects include site leasing, preliminary testing results evaluation, and the potential erection of a second testing tower after six months. Comprehensive information is available at www.ewashtenaw.org/wind.

  2. Agenda • Bid Procedure • RFP • Signature Page • Evaluation/Award process • Brief Background • Goals of Project • Partners • Land Lease- County, Predetermined • Unknowns • Another tower? • UM role? • 6 months?

  3. Background • Resolution driven • Developed Partners • Hired North Coast Wind and Power to determine best location to test • Report available online; www.ewashtenaw.org/wind • Resolution to fund next stage (investment grade wind study)

  4. Goals • To determine the feasibility of developing Utility Scale turbines as well as smaller turbines. • Interested in the wind resource at or near hub-height of modern utility scale turbines. • Possibly correlating data with other towers erected by our partners in the County

  5. Partners • City of Ann Arbor; AA energy office staff has been working with us. City is interested in wind potential due to pledge to use 20% renewable resources within 5 years. • University of Michigan; Professor in Atmospheric Science is conducting a class concurrently, using our project as practical experience.

  6. Site/ Leasing, other • North Coast Wind and Power has helped us determine the most viable locations to test, as well as submitted applications to the FAA. • The County will be approaching landowners in the pre-selected area and negotiating a contract to use an area for testing • Bat study will need to be performed

  7. After 6 months • After 6 months; • Assess preliminary results; • Continue testing • Erect a second tower • Discontinue testing
