Amendment No. 1 to LIPA’s Utility Services Management Request for Proposals (“RFP”) – July 9, 2010

LIPA has concluded that the RFP process can be conducted more efficiently and effectively if proposers are not required to provide to LIPA any specific comments they may have to the forms of Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) and Operations Services Agreements (“OSA”) being posted today, and which are hereby incorporated into the RFP, until after LIPA determines the Technically Qualified Proposers.

Accordingly, LIPA is instructing proposers not to submit detailed comments to the draft agreements with their Technical Proposals that are due on August 24, 2010. Instead, proposer are requested to describe in their Technical Proposals any material modifications they expect to propose to either the Scope of Services or the ServCo service delivery structure as set forth in the form Agreements which proposers believe would be relevant to LIPA's technical evaluation of their proposal. Furthermore, RFP Section XVII.b (4) is revised in its entirety to read: “Material modifications expected to be proposed to the Scope of Services or ServCo service delivery structure.”

Technically Qualified Proposers will be required to submit any detailed comments they may have to the form TSA and OSA on the date to be set for submission of Pricing Proposals. At that time, LIPA will evaluate any proposed modifications to the forms of Agreements and the degree of acceptance of LIPA’s proposed TSA and OSA.
