The Town of Hopkinton in Rhode Island has launched a tender that seeks bids for a proposed lease agreement from experienced renewable energy companies to plan, permit, design, install, finance, operate, and maintain a solar photovoltaic project on a portion of the former Town landfill on Stubtown Road (AP 27 Lot 13).

As part of the project, the successful respondent will agree to assume responsibility for undertaking all actions necessary, at no cost to the Town, to keep the site in compliance with all Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) requirements as well as all actions necessary to proceed with the placement of a solar array on the site as stated in the March 19, 2019 letter from RIDEM to the Hopkinton Town Planner. The successful respondent shall request a pre-application conference with RIDEM, through the Office of Customer and Technical Assistance, to review permitting requirements for stormwater, wetlands, and landfill cap requirements.

Upon acceptance of a proposal that it deems to be in the best interest of the Town of Hopkinton, the Town of Hopkinton will immediately proceed to appropriately rezone the Stubtown Road parcel in order to enable the project to move forward.

The deadline for the submission of bids is on November 5, 2020.
