Optional is optional. Someone signs the form stating that the mandatory provisions have been met. The forms are intended as a way to document that what you are saying is true. These forms come with 90.1 so you should have them. Not sure how you could sign off on compliance or correctly implement your design if you do not have the standard and the forms that come with it. I am not aware of another option beyond creating your own forms.

You have to fill out the lighting compliance form. The others are optional. There should be a link on the LEED-Online form that points you in the direction of the downloadable ASHRAE forms.

ASHRAE 90.1-2010 added VRV systems so there is a form which would deal them if you are looking to find out the minimum best practice for those systems.
