ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES SERVICES PROVIDER

CONTRACT 26-RFP-04

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“District”) requests proposals

from any prospective Proposer for the above captioned subject which is described in document

26-RFP-04.

PROPOSALS ARE DUE JUNE 26, 2026

Sealed proposals, endorsed as above, will be submitted to the District via an electronic upload to

the Euna Portal only. See “Submission Via the Euna Portal” section for instructions. Proposals will

be accepted from the date of the Invitation to Bid, up to 11:00 A.M. Central Time (“CT”), on June

26, 2026. Bids will be deemed non-responsive if not submitted using the project-specific Euna

URL link provided by the District with the bidding documents.

No bids will be accepted after 11:00 A.M. CT on the above scheduled due date. Faxed,

mailed, emailed, or hand delivered proposals will not be accepted. There is no Bid

Depository safe for this purpose.

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) is to engage an environmental attribute service

provider with the expertise to analyze the potential value of uncontracted environmental

attributes associated with the District’s facilities and to develop a detailed plan to capture that

value. Upon the District’s approval of the plan, the selected provider will carry out all necessary

implementation activities, including asset registration or validation and generation or emissions

verification. Following plan development and asset registration, the District expects the provider

to coordinate the sale of the resulting assets.

At the discretion of the District Board of Commissioners, the District may direct the Proposer to

procure environmental attributes on the District’s behalf to support efforts to reduce its

environmental impact and carbon footprint.

Funding of all contract items is subject to the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the budget for

those years. This contract will be for a three (3) year period with an option to extend for up to

two (2) additional years.

The successful Proposer will enter into an agreement with the District to generate revenue on the

District’s behalf through the sale of environmental attributes. The District expects the service

provider to earn its compensation through the transaction process, preferably by taking title to

the attributes in exchange for fair compensation to the District. Brokerage arrangements will also

be considered.

The Proposer, at a minimum, shall provide a detailed narrative including specific examples and

support information of the proposed services that will be provided. This detailed narrative will

address all the services listed above and all tasks required hereunder. The format of this narrative

will correspond to the outline of tasks identified under the scope of work.

Copies of the Request for Proposal are only available online from the District’s website at

www.mwrd.org (DOING BUSINESS  PROCUREMENT & MATERIALS MANAGEMENT 

I-2

CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENTS). No fee is required for the Request for Proposal documents. Any

questions regarding the downloading of Request for Proposal documents should be directed to

contractdesk@mwrd.org or call (312) 751-6643.

The District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Proposer to

successfully download any and all RFP documents, including but not limited to specifications,

proposal forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological computer and/or software

system failure or breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful downloading of any

and all District RFP documents by the Proposer, whether caused by the District or other parties,

directly or indirectly.

Proposers are to include with their proposal signed copies of any addenda, or acknowledge receipt

of any addenda, if the District issued any addenda to this RFP. Failure to do so may be cause for

the rejection of any bid. Bidding documents are available only online, and any addenda issued

for this RFP will be available online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org (Doing

BusinessProcurement and Materials ManagementContract Announcements). Addenda will

also be emailed/faxed to each person receiving a set of such RFP documents and to such other

prospective Proposers who have requested that they be furnished with a copy of the addenda.

If any potential Proposer contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning

of any part of the specifications or other RFP documents, such inquiry should be submitted online

at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing BusinessProcurement

and Materials ManagementContract Announcements. The District will provide an online

response to such inquiries, as the District deems appropriate. Strings of appropriate questions

and answers regarding the bidding documents will be available online on the District’s website

until the bid opening date of the bidding documents. No questions will be accepted by telephone,

fax, email, mail, or any other such form of delivery.

The District will only respond to questions received online up to ONE WEEK prior to the date set

to receive proposals. The District will not respond to questions received after this date. The District

does not guarantee the timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee

that such responses will be provided in adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District

must provide responses online ONLY if the responses do not interpret or otherwise change the

bidding documents.

The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the

bidding documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made

only by addenda duly issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and

Materials Management.

The Resident Engineer for the request for proposal is Matt McGregor, Managing Engineer. The

Resident Engineer will provide online responses to online inquiries.

The District reserves the right to accept any Request for Proposal or any part thereof or to reject

any and all Request for Proposals.
