Y -- ENGINEER PROCURE CONSTRUCT (EPC) POWER PROJECT ALLIANCE

In the near future, TVA will be issuing a solicitation document to request proposals from experienced firms for the award of an EPC Power Project Alliance for the installation of one or more Combined Cycle (CC) power project(s), as well as the potential installation of one or more Simple Cycle Combustion Turbine (CT) project(s) at selected TVA locations. The pricing for the work will be on a cost reimbursable basis with an award fee at risk based on performance. The sequence and technology selection of the installations has not been determined. The scope of work will be defined for all planned and any potential future projects, if any, and authorized separately on a project-by-project basis according to the approved budget. TVA may elect to expand the initial project(s) to provide for additional work at other locations. Accordingly, TVA will award a contract(s) with a company which is, alone or in teaming arrangements or consortiums with others, capable of providing the support work in a long term alliance. If such a contractual arrangement is entered into, TVA will reserve the right to delay commitment to subsequent projects to evaluate initial performance on the initial installation in order to better ascertain the long term suitability of the contractor. TVA desires to select firm(s) that have a history of successful experience with CC and CT projects that are similar to those described in the enclosure entitled Mandatory Minimum Qualification Certification. Therefore, in order to receive the RFP, TVA requires that all prospective respondents meet these requirements before being further considered. All prospective respondents must first certify compliance with the requirements contained on the Mandatory Minimum Qualification Certification. Firms which certify to TVA that they can fully meet all of the mandatory minimum qualification requirements will receive a copy of the RFP and will be invited to attend a mandatory preproposal meeting. All offerors will be required to present detailed data (later with their proposals) to substantiate compliance with each of the mandatory minimum qualification requirements. In order to be considered, we must receive a signed Minimum Qualification Certification Statement.
