STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

SUPPLY/DELIVER HYDROGEN GAS

TO THE NATIONAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

INTRODUCTION

1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1 Background

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has a requirement for the supply and delivery of hydrogen gas per the following specifications. The hydrogen gas is for the NETL site located in Morgantown, WV (NETL-MGN).

NETL is a government owned, government operated research center. NETL is a DOE National Lab that integrates and focuses research and development activities to develop engineered systems that have potential to utilize domestic fuel supplies economically and efficiently, while achieving high standards of environmental performance. NETL performs and sponsors a variety of research and development activities on coal, natural gas, and oil.

1.2 General Conditions

The contractor’s personnel shall abide by all local safety regulations and shall conform to the requirements of NETL Procedure 414.1-3 and ORD Approved Design Standards and Codes. Smoking, fires, and any other source of ignition in the vicinity of the hydrogen supply trailer are prohibited.

1.3 Period of Performance

The overall performance period shall be for the base period of January 4, 2021 through January 3, 2022, plus include up to four (4), one (1) year optional performance periods through January 3, 2026, as follows (if all option years are exercised):

· Base Year: January 4, 2021 through January 3, 2022

· Option Year I: January 4, 2022 through January 3, 2023

· Option Year II: January 4, 2023 through January 3, 2024

· Option Year III: January 4, 2024 through January 3, 2025

· Option Year IV: January 4, 2025 through January 3, 2026

The options may be unilaterally exercised by the Government at the prices quoted and identified in the award. The incorporation of these options into any resulting order implies no obligation on the part of the Government to exercise the options. The government will notify the vendor of its intent to exercise an option 30 days prior to the expiration of the current period of performance.

The purchase order award will include firm fixed unit/ceiling pricing per performance period. Refer to attached “Specs-Hydrogen Pricing Worksheet” document for estimated quantities/usage and pricing breakdown.

HYDROGEN REQUIREMENTS AND ESTIMATED USAGE

2.0 HYDROGEN (MORGANTOWN SITE)

2.1 Trailer (portable DOT approved)

The contractor shall supply a trailer to hold the hydrogen being supplied. This trailer will be located on the north side of the stationary liquid nitrogen supply trailer at the Morgantown site location only.

2.2 Purity

Industrial grade hydrogen is required with conformance to CGA requirements. A Certificate of Analysis shall be provided by the vendor with each delivery, at the time of delivery. Deliveries will not be accepted without this certification.

2.3 Usage

The contractor shall supply a total of 210,000 scf of hydrogen during the base year period. At the end of the base year period, the Government will re-evaluate and re-assess the anticipated use of its hydrogen supply needs to determine if it is needed under the potential follow on option years. If hydrogen is determined to be needed, the Government will reach out to the contractor for pricing purposes and issue an award modification accordingly.

Usage estimates are based on thirty (30) short-duration test firings per day of operation, three (3) days of operation per month, and nine (9) months of operation per year. The hydrogen trailer must be of sufficient volume to deliver a maximum, sustainable and repeatable hydrogen flow of 30,000 scfh at 700 psig during these short-duration tests. The trailer pressure as supplied to the NETL distribution system shall not exceed 3000 psig.

The frequency of trailer refill or exchange will be dependent upon the trailer volume, initial pressure and final pressure, but is estimated at two (2) to four (4) full refills or exchanges during the base year. This estimate is based on two trailer options: a higher-pressure (3000 psig) / lower water-volume (150 cubic feet) option; and a lower-pressure (2400 psig) / higher water-volume (400 cubic feet) option. The trailer will be refilled or exchanged when the supply pressure to the NETL distribution system is reduced to 1200 psig, to maintain repeatable conditions during testing. These assumed trailer volumes are provided as a basis to estimate the required number of refills or exchanges, not as a rigid limit on trailer volume.

DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

3.0 DELIVERY LOCATIONS

Delivery address for the NETL Morgantown, WV site is as follows:

U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory 3610 Collins Ferry Road Morgantown, WV 26507 Receiving Hours: 7:00 am - 3:00 pm MGN Delivery Point of Contact: Randy Barnes, 304-285-4437, randy.barnes@netl.doe.gov

3.1 Transportation

DOT/ICC regulations regarding hydrogen transportation shall be followed.

3.2 Identification

All trucks must be properly identified as to contents and must be labeled as per DOT/ICC regulations.

3.3 Delivery Requirements

3.3.1 Refer to purchase order clause: “ONSITE ACCESS SECURITY REQUIREMENTS.” An authorized DOE/NETL Federal/subcontractor staff representative shall oversee the installation, refilling, exchange or removal of the trailers. Working hours are 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday-Friday, excluding Government holidays (Refer to purchase order clause: “OBSERVANCE OF LEGAL HOLIDAYS.” All deliveries must be within these hours. If the authorized DOE/NETL representative requests an “off-shift” delivery, the contractor shall give the exact delivery time so that the DOE/NETL representative can meet the truck and oversee the work. The driver must notify the authorized DOE/NETL representative upon arriving on the site. Head clearance of on-site delivery is 11-1/2 feet and shall not be violated.

3.3.2 Most of the orders will allow for flexibility as to arrival hour and day of delivery. The contractor shall be required to provide delivery within one day (twenty-four (24) hours) from the time the order is placed until the product arrives at the NETL site location specified in the order.

3.3.3 The contractor shall only invoice for actual hydrogen amount delivered. Refer to purchase order clause: “HOW TO SUBMIT AN INVOICE FOR PAYMENT.”

3.3.4 The contractor shall provide a meter on their delivery vehicle so that the quantity of hydrogen delivered can be determined at the time of the delivery.
