SECTION A:

SCOPE OF WORK

A.1

GENERAL

The General Services Administration (GSA or Government) is requesting proposals for the supply of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for GSA and other agencies. The successful offeror (i.e. Contractor) will supply REC requirements for the Government’s fiscal year 2013 and in some cases fiscal year 2014 for GSA regions and other agencies purchasing RECs to satisfy renewable purchase, GHG reduction and/or LEED requirements in accordance with the requirements outlined in Section A. Delivery shall take place in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract.

A.2

DEFINITIONS

As used throughout this solicitation/contract:

Definition of Renewable Energy For the purposes of this contract, renewable energy shall have the definition as specified by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and modified herein. Accordingly, “renewable energy” means electric energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, landfill gas, ocean (including tidal, wave, current, and thermal), geothermal, municipal solid waste, or new hydroelectric generation capacity achieved from increased efficiency or additional new capacity at an existing hydroelectric project.

"Renewable energy certificates" (RECs) are unique certificates that represent all of the environmental attributes or benefits of a specific quantity of renewable generation. RECs are created when a renewable energy facility generates electricity. The terms Renewable Energy Credits, Tradable Renewable Certificates, or Green Tags, are equivalent terms.

A.3

RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENT

The General Services Administration (GSA or Government) is requesting proposals for the supply Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The Government has divided its requirement into four (4) separate pricing groups. Each pricing group will be priced separately. The volumes provided below summarize the volumes in each pricing group category. A detailed summary of the requirements and the requiring activities is included in an Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 1a for Pricing Group 4 that are made part of the contract by attachment. The requirements are as follows:

Pricing Group 1

119,850 MWhs

National Generic RECs

Pricing Group 2

14,087 MWhs

LEED RECs

Delivered FY13 (Note 1)

Pricing Group 3

202,830 MWhs

Delivered FY13 and FY14 (Note 2)

Pricing Group 4

350,000 mt CO2e

RECs - Max GHG

Delivered FY13

(Note 3)

Note 1 – The RECs required for Pricing Group 2 are for fiscal year 2013 and must meet the “new” renewable resource definition of the Center for Resource Solutions’ Green-e Energy product certification in order to qualify for LEED points for facilities specified in Exhibit 1.

Note 2 –The RECs required for Pricing Group 3 are for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 unless specified on Exhibit 1 (i.e. Treasury) and must meet the renewable resource definition of the Center for Resource Solutions’ Green-e Energy product certification in order to qualify for LEED points for facilities specified in Exhibit 1. The totals for fiscal year 2013 RECs are 73,181 MWhs and 129,649 MWhs for fiscal year 2014 RECs.

Note 3 –The RECs required for Pricing Group 4 are for fiscal year 2013. The RECs in Pricing Group 4 are intended to be used to offset GSA’s GHG footprint. The volume of MWhs required will vary depending on the location of the resource and the emissions associated with the location of the resource(s) using the U.S. EPA’s eGRID 2012 Version 1.0 Year 2009 GHG Annual Output Emission Rates for non-baseload output. Exhibit 1a provides Offerors with the emission rates to be used as well as a pricing sheet.

A.4

DELIVERY DATE

The RECs contracted for under this contract for FY13 and meeting the requirements of this contract must be delivered to the Government no later than September 30, 2013 along with accompanying attestation and certificate forms (see Attachments 1 and 2). The RECs contracted for under this contract for FY14 and meeting the requirements of this contract must be delivered to the Government no later than June 30, 2014 along with accompanying attestation and certificate forms (see Attachments 1 and 2).

A.5

RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES

The RECs that the Contractor provides must come from renewable resources that became operational after January 1, 1999. To verify compliance, the Government requires Contractors to provide an annual report verified and certified by an independent third party auditor. The annual report shall contain the following elements:

(a) An affidavit attesting to the product content for the annual reporting period that:

(1) Indicates the source of new renewable power, and

(2) Provides the U.S. EPA eGRID subregion the renewable source facility(ies) is located in.

(b) An affidavit indicating that:

(1) The offeror has not sold the renewable power more than once (as either a renewable power product or as an REC product), and in the case of a reseller that purchases a wholesale product for retail sale, reasonable measures are taken to ensure that suppliers also do not sell renewable power more than once;

(2) All environmental attributes, including any attendant emission credits which are specifically owned by or to which the renewable power generator is otherwise entitled convey to the purchaser (i.e. Government);

(3) The offeror has not sold any emission allowances/credits, or other environmental attributes which are specifically owned by or to which the renewable power generator is otherwise entitled to convey associated with renewable power; and

(4) The renewable power that is used to fulfill the requirements of this solicitation is also not being used to meet any federal, state, or local renewable energy requirement, renewable energy procurement, renewable portfolio standard, or other renewable energy mandate.

(c) Air emission documentation provided to requisite state environmental protection division and/or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The Annual Report shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 90 days of the required REC delivery date unless otherwise agreed to and shall contain the Attachments 1 and 2 that were part of the REC delivery. The independent third party auditor shall be submitted in the Contractor’s proposal and approved by the Government at the time of contract award. The following are examples of third party verification that the Government considers acceptable: Environmental Resources Trust; Green-e; Independent Auditors Report; TerraChoice; and State/Regional Verification Methods Approved by a State Governmental Entity/Public Utilities Commission/Regional Power Pool (i.e. Texas REC system administered by ERCOT, the PJM Generation Attribute Tracking System of the PJM Environmental Information Services, Inc., or the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) Generation Information System (GIS). The Government will also consider for approval other third party verification methods/entities.

Renewable Power Vintage: To qualify as eligible RECs under this contract for Fiscal Year 2013, the RECs must be generated between April 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013. To qualify as eligible RECs under this contract for Fiscal Year 2014, the RECs must be generated between April 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014.

A.6

PAYMENT AND BILLING

The Contractor shall invoice for the total amount of RECs transferred to the Government in a single invoice for each contract year. Only charges allowed under the terms and conditions of this contract will be paid.

All organizations listed in GSA Order ADM 4800.2E (as updated) are eligible to use this contract.

A.11

ADDITIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATE PURCHASES UNDER THIS CONTRACT
