GO, in support of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the Department of Energy, intends to conduct a competitive procurement to place multiple awards of indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts, with a period of performance of up to twenty-five (25) years, for Energy Savings Performance Contracting Services (ESPC). A minimum of one and a maximum of three awards is contemplated. The minimum order amount for the contract will be $50,000, with a maximum of $30,000,000. These types of services are procured by the Department of Energy in accordance with the contract procedures and methods codified in the Department of Energy Regulations at 10 CFR 436, and the requirement for these services is in response to the direction to all federal agencies provided in the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and Executive Order 12902 of March, 1994, to improve energy management in their facilities and operations. Basically, ESPC is a federal and private-sector partnership whereby the Energy Services Company (ESCO) pays the up-front cost of purchasing and installing new energy-efficient equipment and the Government repays the ESCO over the life of the ESPC contract. The contractor(s) will be solely eligible to compete for or otherwise receive delivery order awards against this contract for specific projects within the scope of the award(s), in the United States and its territories, as well as on federally-owned facilities on foreign soil. The specific scope of work is for primarily the installation of renewable energy systems comprised of primarily solar ventilation pre-heat systems. The objective is to develop optimized energy systems, in terms of both energy supply and demand. The IDIQ contract awarded will require that projects procured as delivery orders against the contract(s) be primarily solar ventilation pre-heat system projects, with any order issued against an awarded contract including a solar ventilation pre-heat system that represents a critical part of the total cost of hardware and services being supplied. The scope not only requires contractor installation of these systems, which are required to meet identified performance specifications, but also contractor operation, maintenance, repair, inspection, and training on the installed measures during the period of performance of the specific projects, as identified for specific projects. Further requirements are contractor involvement in measurement and verification efforts, to ensure that guaranteed savings are occurring, as well as total financing of the specific projects. These contracts are intended for award by no later than September 30, 1999, and will be in addition to the multi-technology SUPER ESPC contract awards which have been and continue to be solicited and awarded competitively for the six DOE regions of the United States and its territories, as well as in addition to the other technology-specific SUPER ESPC contract awards, which are national in scope. The multi-technology and technology-specific SUPER ESPC contracts awarded are, therefore, intended to complement one another and increase the participation of the overall energy industry, and not compete with one another.
