Winning RECs bidders who are covered by guarantors will need to submit an executed guaranty with the executed contracts within three business days of award notification. The Utilities encourage bidders to provide one combined guaranty that covers all three Utilities (AmerenCILCO, AmerenCIPS, AmerenIP), rather than a posting a separate guaranty for each Utility. The Form of Guaranty - Combined posted here has all the Guaranteed Party information filled in for the three Utilities. Note also that paragraph 13(e) of the Form of Guaranty has been revised to remove the reference to "Material Adverse Change," which is not defined in the REC Contract.
