- Description
- Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Engineering Field Activity Northwest (EFANW), in conjunction with the Commander, Navy Region Northwest, plans to offer for privatization, existing electrical distribution, natural gas distribution, and steam distribution systems at NAS Whidbey Island in Washington State. Privatization is a process that (1) conveys a utility system or a part of a utility system under the jurisdiction of the Secretary concerned to a municipal, private, regional, district, or cooperative utility company or other entity and (2) obtains a utility service contract from the entity to whom the system is conveyed or their agents and assignees. As a result of this solicitation, a firm will be selected to assume ownership of the utility system. The successful firm will be required to purchase the existing system from the Government and may be required to provide expansions to the system to meet future needs of the Government. The successful firm may or may not be the supplier of the commodity procured by the Government. The resulting contract, if awarded, will require the Contractor to furnish all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to own, maintain, and operate the utility system. The Contractor shall manage the upgrades, maintenance, repairs, and replacement of the system to ensure continuous, adequate, and dependable service connection within the service area in accordance with industry standards. The Contractor shall be responsible for funding all capital investments required to acquire, upgrade, maintain and operate the utility system in a safe, reliable condition and to meet the requirements listed in the contract. The utility system will be conveyed via a Bill of Sale upon award of the contract. The Contractor's proposals and plans may become a part of the contract upon the decision to award. Past Performance information from potential Offerors shall be submitted as directed in the RFP. No Offeror will be denied the opportunity to submit a proposal in response to the RFP. Proposal due dates will be identified in the solicitation. The utility systems being privatized are described as follows: 1. Wastewater System: The wastewater system at NAVSTA Bremerton consists of the following: approximately 12 lift stations, 48,199 feet of gravity collection lines, 42,122 feet of pressure mains, manholes, valves, cleanouts, air relief valves, grinder pumps, check valves, and an emergency generator that serves 140 industrial and 27 residential connections. The system consists of two sections - onshore and offshore. The offshore section provides pier connections for berthed ships. The wastewater generated at Bremerton Naval Complex is collected and transferred to the City of Bremerton at three metered connection points for treatment. The storm water section is included. 2. Water Distribution System: Potable water is supplied to NAVSTA Bremerton at three metered locations via 12-inch mains. The water distribution system consists of the following: approximately 168,941 feet of distribution piping, 104 fire hydrants, three water storage tanks, two booster pump stations, backflow preventers, PIVs, 882 valves, 203 industrial connections, and 23 residential connections. Ductile iron and cast iron are the most common types of pipe. Water storage is provided by three above ground storage tanks. The water distribution system consists of two sections - onshore and offshore. The onshore section is functionally similar to a municipal distribution system. The pipes are located underground with isolation valves at intersections and are laid out with a number of loops. The offshore section is quite unlike any municipal system. On the piers, the water lines are hung from the underside of the piers and provide water to a berthed ship. Interconnected to the offshore section the water distribution system serves the dry docks. Backflow preventers are installed in the area of the piers and the dry docks. All the piers, moorings, and dry docks, with the exception of Pier C, utilize a looped water system with isolation valves that can be used to isolate sections of the line. 3. Natural Gas Distribution System: Natural gas to NAVSTA Bremerton is delivered at eight metered points. The natural gas distribution system consists of the following: approximately 20,820 linear feet (LF) of natural gas lines with pipe diameters between -inch and six inches, 22 valves, 32 meters, and 64 prvs for 39 industrial and 25 residential service connections. The solicitation will be provided for download free of charge via the Internet at http://esol.navfac.navy.mil/. Amendments and notices will be posted on the web site http://esol.navfac.navy.mil/ for downloading. This will be the only method of distributing the solicitation. It is the Offeror's responsibility to check the web site periodically for any amendments and notices to this solicitation. The official plan holders list will be maintained on and can be printed from the web site. All prospective Offerors and plan centers are encouraged to register as plan holders on the web site. Plan holder lists will not be faxed and will only be available from the web site. The solicitation, plans and specifications will be available on or about 15 November 2002.
