Contract Information: The US Government is the nation's single largest energy consumer. Due to the magnitude of funds spent on energy in support of Government operations and the steady inflation of such costs, the Government is re-evaluating its operations and reducing its energy consumption. Executive Order 13423 of January 24, 2007, states the head of each agency shall improve energy efficiency by 3% annually or 30% in total by the end of fiscal year 2015, relative to each agency's fiscal year 2003 energy use baseline. The primary purpose of the proposed acquisition is to acquire the design, implementation, and operation of a Utility Energy Services Contract (UESC) energy management project for the US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC) in the following locations ¦ "Fresno VAMC o2615 E Clinton Ave, Fresno, CA 93703 "Livermore VAMC o4951 Arroyo Rd, Livermore, CA 94550 "Martinez Outpatient Clinic o150 Muir Rd, Martinez, CA 94553 "McClellan Outpatient Clinic o5342 Dudley Blvd, McClellan Park, CA 95652 "Menlo Park VAMC o795 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025 "Sacramento VAMC o10535 Hospital Way, Mather, CA 95655 "San Francisco VAMC o4150 Clement St., San Francisco, CA 94121 2. Background: 42 USC 8256 provides information relating to utility incentive programs. Four key elements of this section are highlighted below. - Agencies are authorized and encouraged to participate in programs to increase energy efficiency and water conservation or manage electricity demand conducted by gas, water, or electric utilities and generally available to customers of such utilities. - Each agency may accept any financial incentive, goods, or services generally available from any such utility, to increase energy efficiency or to conserve water or manage electricity demand. - Each agency is encouraged to enter into negotiations with electric, water, and gas utilities to design cost-effective demand management and conservation incentive programs to address the unique needs of facilities utilized by such agency. - If an agency satisfies the criteria that generally apply to other customers of a utility incentive program, such agency may not be denied collection of rebates or other incentives. 3. Description of the Requirement: A UESC is a contracting vehicle that allows agencies to accomplish energy savings projects for their facilities without up-front capital costs and without special Congressional appropriations to pay for the improvements. Under a UESC contract, the selected UESC utility provider (Utility) will provide their own funding, provide financed funding, or a combination of their own and financed funding, for an energy conservation project that will be repaid from utility bill savings. The Utility will conduct a comprehensive energy audit to identify improvements that will result in energy savings. With coordination and approval of the Government, the Utility will design and construct an energy savings project and provide assurance that the improvements will result in savings sufficient to pay for the project. The Utility will also develop a savings assurance plan and arrange project financing. The project energy savings will be measured over the course of the financing period. 4.
