Description

The U. S. Navy desires to enter into an agreement with private industry for up to 30 years (with possible option periods) for the development of geothermal resources located beneath Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada. The site is located approximately 60 miles east of Reno and three miles south of the town of Fallon. A 7,000 ft. deep discovery well was drilled there in August of 1993 and was successfully flow-tested. The maximum temperature that was recorded was 376 degrees F. The developer will be responsible for all phases of erecting and operating a geothermal electrical power plant on Navy land, including finance, research, exploration, design, acquisition, construction, installation, testing, operation, maintenance, repair, and sale of electrical power. Compensation to the Navy, as well as the terms and conditions of the agreement, are subject to evaluation and negotiation. The selection process and resulting agreement will reflect sound business practices. An Industry Meeting will be held in Reno Nevada on 24 July 2001 to discuss the project, source selection for the project, and to answer questions on the intent of the project. Anyone interested in the project is urged to attend the Industry Meeting. A Pre-Qualification packet will be distributed to all interested parties at the meeting. Only those firms meeting the criteria set forth in the Pre-Qualification packet regarding technical, project experience, and financial capability will be invited to submit competitive proposals in response to the subsequent request for proposal (RFP), N47408-01-R-2231. If you wish to attend the Industry Meeting and receive information on its location and time, please contact Ken Bonin in the Geothermal Program Office, NAWS China Lake, CA at (760) 939-4049 or e-mail at boninkr@navair.navy.mil. If you are unable to attend the industry meeting, you may request in writing, a copy of the Pre-Qualification packet be sent to your firm. Requests should be sent via e-mail to Ken Bonin or Chris Henschel. Chris Henschel may be contacted at the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts Office (NAVFACCO), Port Hueneme, CA at (805) 982-3872, or e-mail at henschelcg@cbchue.navfac.navy.mil. The Navy intends to enter into Public/Private Venture (PPV) agreement with the responsible offeror whose offer represents the best value and greatest possibility of success to the Navy, considering the capability and benefit of the offeror/offer.****
