Description

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability of potential sources to privatize the electrical distribution system at Charlotte/Douglas IAP, NC. Privatization is defined as the transfer of ownership and responsibility for the operati ons, maintenance, repair, future upgrades, and future utility system replacements. As a result of this solicitation, the firm will be selected to assume ownership of the above-mentioned utility system. The successful firm will be required to provide expa nsions to the system to meet future needs of 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 maintenance, repairs, replacement, etc., of the system to ensure continuous, adequate, and dependable service for each Government or tenant connection within the service area. The Contractor shall be responsible for funding al l capital investments required to acquire, 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. Past performance information from potential Offerors shall be submitted as directed in the RFP. The electric system being privatized is described as follows: Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (IAP) is located six miles west of Charlotte, NC and is home to the 145th Airlift Wing. The base is located on the east side of the airport on a 79 acre parcel of highly developed land. There are a total of 41 buildings; 2 administrative, 3 services, and 36 industrial, amounting to approximately 330,000 square fee t. The base has no residential or transient housing facilities. Day-to-day activities are managed by 312 full-time personnel. This increases to 1350 personnel during the unit training drills conducted one weekend each month. The base also has two geogr aphically separated units (GSU); Badin Air Guard Station (AGS), and Stanly County Airport Regional Training Center that are located approximately 60 miles northeast of Charlotte ANGB. The GSUs are not part of this solicitation. Projected future mission r equirements and a steady increase in the base population have necessitated the construction of new facilities and the renovation or demolition of older facilities. Electrical power utility service enters the base and is metered at one location. Voltage i s delivered and distributed at 12.47 (kV) through a radial feed, with wye connections on the secondary circuits. The primary distribution system consists of three-phase circuits rated at 15 kV all buried underground in ductbanks and/or conduit at an avera ge depth of 2 to 3 feet. The ductbanks are tinted red and marked with warning tape. Multiple branches feed to 16 three phase pad mounted transformers that range from 45 kVA to 1000 kVA and one 15 kVA single phase transformer. The system includes three 3 -way and three 4-way sectionalizing terminal boxes, 8 manholes, and a 15kV three-phase recloser with control panel. The system splits into a north branch and a south branch with no backup from alternative power sources. Mission-critical facilities, such as those located on the flight line, have portable diesel generators for backup power (not included in the solicitation). In addition, power for the engine test cell pad, fire rescue station, and group training area are supplied directly by Duke Power Com pany owned distribution lines and meters. The under ground circuits were installed in 1992 and are considered in excellent condition. Base personnel indicate the current capacity is adequate and sufficient to meet the planned expansion of base facilities . Interested sources shall contact MSGT CHRIS AMBURN, Christopher.amburn@ncchar.ang.af.mil 704-391-4209.
