3 1 Introduction Ethanol (E85) has proven to be viable alternative fuel source. It is 105 Octane, burns 30% cleaner than gasoline and is made from domestically grown grain or corn. President Bush highlighted Ethanol as a key to lessen the dependency of the United States on foreign oil. Over ninety percent of the cars and trucks produced by Ford and GM in 2007 will have the option to have a flexible fuel engine at no extra cost. The Greater Tucumcari Economic Development Corporation believes there is an opportunity to revitalize the existing gas-fired ethanol plant in the Tucumcari, New Mexico. We believe that the Tucumcari Ethanol Plant s location has access to an adequate supply of local and railed corn, and is served by rail and highway transportation networks. We believe this transportation infrastructure will provide Tucumcari access to a number of ethanol and distillers grains markets and terminal locations. The Tucumcari Ethanol Plant s infrastructure is connected to abundant electricity, gas, quality water and waste water treatment capacity. It is our objective to locate an experienced owner/operator/developer for the existing Tucumcari Ethanol Plant; to be maintained locally, creating local employment opportunities. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to inform Ethanol Developers of the detailed information required (in the form of a proposal) to enable the Board of The Greater Tucumcari Economic Development Corporation (GTEDC) to select a preferred ethanol developer who will fulfill the procurement needs of this project. 1.2 Acknowledgement Please acknowledge that you have received this document by sending a formal written letter of receipt to the GTEDC Board at the following address: Greater Tucumcari Economic Development Corporation P.
