ENERGY MANAGEMENT SERVICES In order that potential sources learn more about the Federal Energy Technology Center's (FETC) program emphasis areas, and to afford our customers the opportunity to discuss their capabilities and to allow FETC to ascertain how to assist industry with emerging energy and environmental technologies, a special notice is published here. The New Business Development (I) [NBDI] primary focus is developing new business that is related to energy end-use and power generation. The Federal Energy Technology Center [FETC] and its predecessors have always been in the energy business. The Federal Energy Management Program [FEMP] has been established within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE-90). FEMP's charge is to manage the National effort to reduce energy and water consumption at all Federal facilities. FEMP has authorized FETC to issue technology-specific Super Energy Saving Performance Contracts for Alternate Methane Sources. The technology-specific Super ESPC is an opportunity for FETC to use its energy expertise to assist other agencies in meeting their energy-savings targets. This expertise includes technical, administrative, and legal know-how. FETC will solicit, select and contract with multiple Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to provide performance contracting. As federal facilities execute task agreements under the Super ESPC, FETC will assist them by providing project management, contract administration, and the associated technical, legal and financial services support as necessary. Significant alternative sources of methane are generated by landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and coal beds. Energy savings can be achieved by using sources of alternative methane as a primary or supplemental fuel for boilers, furnaces and combustors to provide space heating and process heat. Alternative methane sources could also be used to fuel various power generation and cogeneration systems such as reciprocating engines, gas turbines, or fuel cells. The electricity generated from such systemscan be used locally or fed into the utility power grid. Private partners for such energy savings projects could include electric power utilities, landfill gas operators, independent power producers, power generation technology suppliers, and players in the natural gas industry. To elicit maximum participation, FETC will issue a competitive requirement for Alternative Methane Sources Super ESPC. The solicitation will result in multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. This will provide a procurement vehicle for any federal agency to utilize this contract throughout the United States and its territories. FETC's NBDI Product Manager, Office of Product Management for Fuels and Specialty Markets, will be responsible for the Alternative Methane Sources Super ESPC. Personnel and resources would be drawn from across the organization. The Product Manager would coordinate the implementation team and assure quality work. The Contracting Officer will be responsible for the administration of the contract. Day-to-day issues would be coordinated by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and the Contract Specialist (CS). The COR and CS will keep the Product Manager, Contracting Officer, and FEMP appraised of the project. Product Manager: Curtis V.
