Renewable Natural Gas and Clean Fuel Standard Implementation

The City of Spokane issued an RFP seeking a partner to provide 100 % Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) for its fleet of CNG refuse trucks and to manage related regulatory, revenue‑share, and rebate/offset activities under Washington’s Clean Fuel Standard. The award was made to Maas Energy Works on a three‑year term, with two optional two‑year extensions, and the selection was based on a weighted evaluation (20 % technical, 20 % management, 60 % cost). The contract is a lump‑sum, cost‑reimbursement style agreement, and the City retains the right to reject proposals, waive irregularities, and not award if funding is unavailable. • Scope: Supply RNG, handle Clean Fuel Standard registration, provide revenue‑share model, and identify rebates/offsets. • Term: 3‑year base period plus up to two optional 2‑year renewals (potential 7‑year total). • Evaluation: Technical (20 %), Management (20 %), Cost (60 %). • Awardee: Maas Energy Works (sole award).
