1.3.1. EnMS Execution Plan: The Contractor shall integrate energy efficiency into daily facility operations, maintenance, and capital project planning. While formal third-party ISO 50001 certification is not explicitly mandated, the Contractor’s EnMS must contain all structural elements of the standard to ensure continuous improvement in energy performance.

To demonstrate compliance, the Contractor shall develop and submit an Energy Management Execution Plan annually for Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) approval (CDRL A10-002). The submitted plan must explicitly define and execute the following core elements:

1.3.1.4. Measurement & Verification (M&V): Strict data collection protocols utilizing operational, calibrated utility meters.

1.3.1.5. Operational Control: Documented standard operating procedures (SOPs) ensuring SEUs are operated and maintained efficiently to prevent energy waste.

1.4. Geospatial Data Standards (GIS): The Contractor shall maintain and update all spatial data, maps, and digital representations of the RFAAP utility and energy infrastructure within the installation’s centralized Geographic Information System (GIS).

1.4.1. The Contractor shall deliver consolidated GIS utility network and infrastructure updates to the Government annually or sooner upon Government request. (CDRL A10-003).

1.5. The contractor shall comply with Army Regulation (AR) 420-1, Chapters 22-24, and other Army laws, policies, regulations, and Executive Orders pertaining to energy and utility operations and management to include establishing, maintaining, and implementing energy and utilities policies, objectives, and procedures.

2. Utility Operations and Distribution

2.1. Primary Utility Operations: The Contractor shall safely and reliably generate, procure, test, and distribute utilities to support all facility and production operations, including Government tenants and ARMS lessees. The Contractor shall actively manage and operate the following systems:

2.1.1. Electricity: Receive, generate (via Powerhouse cogeneration turbines), and distribute electricity.

2.1.2. Steam & Heating/Cooling: Generate and distribute steam and maintain all plant heating and cooling systems.

2.1.3. Natural Gas & Fuels: Procure and distribute natural gas, ensuring all supply agreements grant Primary Firm reservation/priority to RFAAP. Procure and safely store required diesel and gasoline for operations and vehicle fueling.

2.1.4. Water Systems: Withdraw, treat, test, and distribute river/cooling water, filtered water, and potable water. Testing shall occur at least daily (or as required by permit) for pH, turbidity, and chlorine, with monthly biological assessments. Records must be retained for at least 48 months.

2.1.5. Wastewater & Sewage: Collect, distribute, and treat sanitary and industrial sewage IAW the RFAAP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Maintain an active operation log detailing monthly inflow/discharge data.

2.1.6. Compressed Air: Generate and distribute compressed air to meet production demands.

2.1.7. Laundry: Operate the installation laundry facilities.

2.2. Electrical Load-Shedding Plan: The Contractor shall develop, maintain, and submit an annual Load-Shedding Plan (CDRL A10-004) to minimize operational impacts, ensure environmental compliance, and execute safe shutdowns during periods of external electrical supply issues or internal distribution failures.

3. Metering, Data, and Continuous Improvement

3.1. Utility Metering Requirements: Metering shall be required for any facility exceeding 29,000 square feet or where utility costs exceed $35K per year per feed (per EPAct 2005 and EISA 2007).

3.1.1. Compliance Goals: The Contractor shall ensure 75% compliance with Army metering requirements within one (1) year of award, and 100% compliance within two (2) years.

3.1.2. Accuracy: The Contractor shall ensure >95% of meters are actively reading/recording data with a 100% accuracy goal. Alternate engineering methods shall be used where physical metering is impossible.

3.2. Comprehensive Energy and Water Evaluations (CEWE): The Contractor shall complete CEWEs on all active facilities every four (4) years (assessing 25% of installation square footage annually) IAW EISA 2007 and AR 420-1. Results shall include usage summaries and energy savings ideas, be maintained in a centralized database, and input into AEWRS.

4. Incident Management and Reporting

4.1. Utility Interruption Reporting: A utility interruption is defined as any breakdown causing operational downtime of energetics, propellants, utility production, or waste disposal.

4.1.1. Immediate Notification: The Contractor shall notify the Army via email within one (1) hour of discovering any service interruption.

4.1.2. Root Cause Analysis (RCA): For any interruption lasting longer than one (1) hour, the Contractor shall complete an RCA and an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) for mitigation, submitting the documentation to the Government within 10 business days. (CDRL A10-005)

The initial report is due 30 calendar days after operational control. (CDRL A02-006) Mandatory KPIs include:

5.1.1. Baseline KPIs: Establish baseline KPIs for each main utility (electricity, water, air, gas, steam, wastewater) including estimated cost per unit.

5.1.1.1. Significant Energy User (SEU) Energy Performance Indicator (EnPI): Establish EnPIs for SEUs—facilities consuming >5% of a utility. EnPIs must compare utility usage against production output (e.g., scfm/lb NC). Improvement Mandate: The Contractor shall improve each EnPI by a minimum of 5% annually through documentable conservation efforts.

5.2. KPI Management: The initial report shall define the calculation methods and establish performance targets (justified by industry standards or baseline data) for Government approval. If any KPI trends negatively or falls below the target for three consecutive months, the Contractor must submit a Corrective Action Plan detailing mitigation steps, timelines, and the personnel responsible for achieving the target.
