information from interested parties and is an essential step in
determining market interest for the privatization of the utility
systems at the affected installations. In order to minimize costs both
to potentially interested parties and the government, this notice is
issued to determine market interest and feasibility as well as
determining marketing strategies for privatizing utility systems.
Should insufficient credible interest be identified for a privatization
action, it is highly likely that no formal solicitation will be issued.
Should interest be determined sufficient, a formal Request for
Proposals (RFP) may be forthcoming.Interested parties should provide a
statement of interest on company letterhead. The statement of interest
must not exceed a total length of 15 pages plus 1 page per type of
utility system of interest. Parties may express interest in a range of
ownership possibilities, from a single utility system to interest in
all utilities systems. The statement shall include as a minimum, the
following information: (1) capability and experience in the ownership,
operation and maintenance of similar systems; (2) financial capability
to purchase, upgrade, expand, operate and maintain utility systems; (3)
specific utility system(s) of interest and desired bundling of
utilities systems to purchase; (4) conceptual rate plan (i.e., will
charges for utility service be made from existing rates or from rates
developed specifically for service at the individual installation(s);
(5) discussion of your conceptual basis for a proposed purchase price
(capitalized earnings value, replacement cost new less depreciation,
original cost less depreciation, or other); (6) understanding of the
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and
familiarity and experience with environmental compliance procedures and
regulations for the applicable states and US Environmental Protection
Agency Regions SITE VISIT AND DATA: Neither a site visit nor the
provision of additional data on the utility systems is considered
necessary for the preparation and submittal of statement of interest.
If a site visit and the provision of additional data are later
determined necessary, notification will be provided by way of an
amendment to this announcement. DUE DATE: Statements of interest must
be submitted to Defense Energy Support Center (DESC-APP) by 31 March
2000 by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Sources may address responses
