THE 2007 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE APPLICABLE TO THIS PROCUREMENT: 221 UTILITIES THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC-MA) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2913 which allows the Navy to enter into agreements with gas or electric utilities to design and implement cost-effective demand and conservation incentive programs (including energy management services, facilities alterations, and the installation and maintenance of energy savings devices and technologies by the utilities) in order to address the requirements and circumstances of the installation. This contract is referred to as a Utility Energy Savings Contract (UESC). For purposes of qualifying under this notice, an entity must meet the definition of a Utility before an agreement can be initiated. The proposed procurement is for identification of various Energy Conservation Measures in specified areas via a no-cost preliminary energy audit. This project provides for energy efficiency upgrades at several buildings at NSA Mechanicsburg, Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The primary goal of the project is to reduce energy consumption and provide more sustainable building infrastructure at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex. These improvements will be accomplished by removing approximately 25 buildings from the existing central steam plant and related steam distribution system, owned by the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (PAID), The preliminary audit will require on-site building investigation and evaluation to determine if any significant energy conservation opportunities exist and whether further detail energy analysis is warranted. The Government may elect to proceed with further phases under the UESC which include but are not limited to the feasibility study phase; the engineering and design phase; the implementation phase. The process requires that the responsible Utility must have the ability to provide or obtain financing on terms at least as good as those available to customers in a comparable service class, or with a comparable risk profile. Therefore, contractor will not receive compensation until completion of the implementation project, and payments will be based on a long-term (15 year) amortization schedule. Interested utilities may identify their interest and ability to meet the requirements stated herein and may submit their corporate capabilities for consideration. The submission must include the NAICS code and Cage Code. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
