FALLON GEOTHERMAL PROJECT POC M. A. Barnard, Contract Specialist, (805) 982-5094. The U.S. Navy desires to enter into an agreement with private industry for up to 30 years for the development of geothermal resources located beneath Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada. The site is located approximately 60 miles east of Reno and three miles south of the town of Fallon. A 7,000 ft. deep discovery well was drilled there in August of 1993 and was successfully flow-tested. The maximum temperature that was recorded was 376 degrees F. The developer will be responsible for all phases of erecting and operating a geothermal electrical power plant on Navy land, including finance, exploration, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and sale of electrical power. The Navy does not intend to purchase electrical power from the power plant. Compensation to the Navy, as well as the terms and conditions of the agreement, are subject to negotiation. The selection process and resulting agreement will be in accordance with sound business practices. A Pre-Qualification Conference will be held at the Flamingo Hilton, Town Hall 1, 255 N. Sierra Street in Reno, Nevada, on February 22, 1995 to discuss the project and answer questions. Anyone interested in the project is urged to attend the conference. A pre-qualification packet will be distributed to all participants at the conference. Only those meeting the criteria set forth in the pre-qualification packet regarding technical and financial capability and track record will be invited to submit proposals. If you wish to attend the conference, please contact M. A. Barnard at (805)982-5094. If you are unable to attend the conference, you may request, in writing that a copy of the Pre-Qualification Packet be sent to your firm. Requests should be sent to Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts Office, ATTN: Code 2711, M. A. Barnard, Construction Battalion Center, 1000 23rd Avenue, Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4301. The Navy intends to enter into an agreement with the offeror whose proposal presents the greatest probability of success while providing reasonable compensation to the Navy.
