Sakallaris, Director-(202-219-1150) E-MAIL: FERC, Division of Procurement, MA.Wright@ferc.fed.us. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) intends to procure National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Post-Certificate/Licensing Compliance Activities for the period beginning January 3, 2000, with a base period of three (3) years and two (2) one-year option periods. Several contracts may be awarded. Individual task orders for specified work will be issued competitively. The primary purpose of this contract is to procure gas pipeline related compliance activities and any potential hydro-related requirements not completed under FERC's main hydro-power contract. Work under this contract will be primarily gas related and FERC expects that the same Contractor(s) capable of completing the gas-related compliance work will have enough experience to complete any hydro-power requirement which may arise. Work will be performed for FERC's Office of Pipeline Regulation/Office of Energy Projects and include post-certificate and post-licensing environmental compliance related activities. Work performed under this acquisition will be issued on a task order basis and will cover support services, products and participation in activities related to post-certificate NEPA-related compliance activities, which may include, routine on-site construction and restoration inspections, emergency inspections, damage assessments, enforcement related studies and/or inspections, or similar post-certificate field activities, studies or reports. For certificated gas pipeline projects, the Contractor will, at a minimum, be expected to perform construction and restoration on-site compliance inspections under the following applicable environmental requirements: Section 7(c) Certificated Projects, Section 2.55 Replacements, Section 157.207 Projects, and Section 311 Projects. In addition, the Contractor may be asked to prepare, schedule and present gas-related training courses as follows to familiarize the industry with FERC's environmental requirements and procedures: Environmental Compliance Seminar (2-days), Environmental Report Preparation Seminar (1-day), and Cultural Resources Seminar (1-day). FERC intends to award by January 3, 2000, without discussions. However, FERC reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. Again, the total term of the contract will consist of a basic period of three years with two one-year option periods. Option periods shall become effective solely at the discretion of FERC. The Contracting Officer is Andrew Sakallaris, (202)219-1150.
