"Our proposal responds to the needs of the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBED) and the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) for a well qualified geothermal consulting firm. From the RFP, we have determined that the following items are of concern for the State: A. Determine the potential and location, on a regional basis, of those geothermal resources in the State that have a realistic probability of development. B. Provide advice on methodologies that could accomplish the objectives in A. C. Provide advice and suggestions to improve the cost effectiveness of the SOH core hole drilling program. D. Assist in the geothermal/cable project to formulate reasonable development scenarios, description of short term and cumulative impacts, and workable mitigation measures. Accordingly this proposal addresses these concerns, as well as presents our qualifications to perform this work.
