S -- NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SOL 099&&&-9711-0001 POC LENORA GARDNER, 918-421-2423 (Site Code DAAA31) Sources are being sought to identify potential service providers to take over ownership of McAlester Army Ammunition Plant's (McAAP's) natural gas distribution system located within the boundaries of the installation. Ultimately McAAP is seeking total divestiture of the natural gas distribution system to the non-federal sector. The new owner (herein referred to as Service Provider) would assume full responsibility for maintaining the distribution system so that a reliable supply of natural gas can be transported to each McAAP consumption point on the installation. The service provider would also be responsible for all capital investments to maintain, improve, and extend McAAP's gas distribution system. The service provider would purchase the existing system at a fair market value. Prospective interested sources are requested to submit a written request for the complete specifications by December 22, 1997. (0329)
