47PA0421R0022 NGAP Competitive Natural Gas Questions and Answers Received as of 3:00 PM EST Monday June 7, 2021 QUESTIONS RECEIVED DURING JUNE 2nd CALL
Q1) If an account is listed as Interruptible (IT) with the utility in the Exhibit 1 file is it also deemed to be an IT account with the supplier?
A1) Yes.
QUESTIONS RECEIVED IN WRITING
Q2) For the SJG Accounts. The account numbers listed are not the service agreement numbers. We need the service agreement numbers for these accounts. Will they be provided?
A2) Yes. GSA will provide more detailed information for all included accounts in an updated Exhibit 1 once GSA sets a date for these auctions and an updated Exhibit 1 is released. The updated Exhibit 1 will include monthly data, service agreement numbers (if applicable), rate class / tariff information, etc.
Q3) For the ConEd Account. We will need monthly usages for this rate class. Will that data be provided?
A3) Yes. See answer A.2
Q4) For the Columbia Ohio Accounts. Will the rate class be provided by GSA?
A4) Yes. See answer A.2
Q5) For the Dominion East Ohio Accounts. The account numbers do not look correct. Will any additional account numbers be provided for these accounts?
A5) Yes. See answer A.2
Q6) I believe the following items will be explained in more detail to the companies that have passed the Phase 1 Technically Acceptability phase and move onto Phase 2 pricing, please confirm this is the correct assumption?
· What is the term length of the contract?
· The solicitation packet mentions it listed on Exhibit 1 several times but that information is excluded on exhibit 1.
· What is the load profile summer vs winter?
· What is the preferred pricing formula?
A6). Yes. See note 2 that was included in the Exhibit 1 file that was released with the solicitation, “Prior to any auctions taking place, GSA will be releasing an updated Exhibit 1 that includes specific auction dates, EnelX RFP#s, auction end times for each RFP, the GSA Pricing Product requested, the term or terms requested for each pricing group and updated account information including monthly usage data.”
Q7) Question specific to Dominion /East Ohio Gas Pipeline supply- Does either contract get firm transport or storage allocated or assigned to them from the utility?
A7) No.
Q8) Question specific to Dominion /East Ohio Gas Pipeline supply-This system is a Utility billed system where the utility sends out invoices on behalf of the customers, will this be an issue for the Cleveland VA, Nasa or GSA?
· We will be able to supply the electronic copy to the GSA email account immediately after receiving it from the utility.
A8) Both accounts are currently being dual billed meaning they receive one invoice from Dominion/East Ohio Gas for regulated charges and one invoice from their third-party gas supplier for natural gas supply charges. GSA requires these accounts to continue to be dual billed under the new contract(s) awarded as a result of this solicitation.
