The Bid Participation Fee is paid by a Bidder once each calendar year.   A Bidder that paid the Bid Participation Fee in 2017 with its Part 1 Proposal in the Wind and Solar RFP must pay the Bid Participation Fee in 2018 with its Part 1 Proposal in the New Solar RFP.

A Bidder that submits Proposals for multiple Projects is only required to pay a single Bid Participation Fee. Furthermore, a Bidder that pays the Bid Participation Fee in the first procurement event under the New Solar RFP will not have to pay again in order to participate in the second procurement event under the New Solar RFP or in any other procurement event held by the IPA in 2018.
