About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service for the Heating Operations and Transmission Division (HOTD) in Washington, DC. The RFI seeks to gather industry feedback on various ownership and operational alternatives for the HOTD system to enhance its value, efficiency, and environmental impact. Key objectives include identifying parts of the HOTD heating and chilled water systems that can be privatized cost-effectively, ensuring continued economical service to buildings connected to the HOTD system, informing long-term strategy for GSA to deliver maximum electrification by 2030 and reduce operating costs, and decarbonizing the HOTD distribution system. The RFI outlines the HOTD's current plant facilities, annual output, and staffing, as well as ongoing and planned projects. It provides opportunities for industry engagement through question submissions, a Q&A webinar, and optional tours of the HOTD Central Plant and the adjacent DC Water wastewater thermal energy system. The information gathered through this RFI may be used in the preparation of a subsequent Request for Proposal.
