GOVERNMENT RESPONSES TO INDUSTRY QUESTIONS

REQUEST FOR INTEREST (RFI) No. N6247324RP00064

AMENDMENT THREE (3)

The Navy held an Industry Day and Site Tour for interested industry entities on February 29, 2024 at Naval Air Station, Lemoore (NASL). The Industry Day provided an opportunity for representatives of the government and industry to meet for presentations and a site tour.

If you submitted a clarifying question on the RFI to NAVFACHQNavySWEULs@us.navy.mil, please note that it has been received and all comments and questions will be reviewed for appropriate action.

Individual responses may not be provided. The Government retains the right to respond to all, a portion of or provide no response to interested proposer’s questions. The Government will post any prepared response(s) to written questions via SAM.gov.

INDUSTRY CLARIFYING

QUESTION:

DEPARTMENT OF NAVY (DoN)

RESPONSE:

Request for Interest N6247324RP00064 – Naval Air Station Lemoore Energy Enhanced Use Lease

Request for Additional Information

Are there any cybersecurity requirements for DON projects that industry should be aware of/incorporate into our proposals?

Any specific project requirement will be defined in potential future solicitation.

Will the land valuation/appraisal be provided at the time of the RFP? Any land valuation/appraisal can help inform our IKC projects. Will the land appraisal/valuation equivalent be pro-rated for buildable area?

No. The Appraisal is for the sole use of the Government and will not be made available to proposers.

Of the list of IKC project ideas, does the DON have priorities or preferences?

Any specific project requirement will be defined in potential future solicitation. Final in-kind consideration projects(s) will be negotiated with the selected proposer during the exclusive negotiation phase.

Are there specific cultural resources and environmental policy management requirements that should be considered to successfully integrate development activities with?

in potential future solicitation. There are no cultural or environmental resource issues that limit development. However, development must not create a Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazzard (BASH) or Foreign Object Debris (FOD). National Environmental Policy Act and National Historic Preservation Act analysis will be required prior to potential Lease execution.

Question 7 in the RFI requests respondents, “Please provide a concept design that includes project type, size, ratings etc.” What is “ratings” referencing/what specific information is DON hoping to obtain regarding rating?

The Government wants to obtain as much information as possible about any proposed electrical project concept. The term “rating” is referring to any electrical equipment rating.

To what extent will industry have access to on-base expertise in this process (i.e. the team(s) responsible for energy today)?

The Government will answer questions regarding on-base energy availability, consumption, requirements, etc., to the extent possible, but industry will need to retain its own “energy” experts.

The phrase ‘non-excess land’ is used in the RFI. Is that a reference to the Bureau of Reclamation’s categorization of excess and non-excess lands? Or some other reference?

Any potential long-term lease will be in accordance with Title 10 United States Code §2667 for Leases: non-excess property of military departments and Defense Agencies.

Has the DON done any analysis on the recharge suitability of the soils in the surrounding land?

No, the Government has not conducted any analysis to date. Westlands Water District website may have some data available to the public.

Can the In-Kind Consideration payment be in the form of clean energy? If so, will the value be set at contracted values per unit or intended to be market based? OR can the payment be in the form of water? If so, will the value be set at contracted values per unit or intended to be market based?

Please refer to Amendment Two (2), #9.

Value of in-kind consideration shall be market based.

What are the direct payment of energy costs? The direct payment of water costs (i.e. water assessments and rates to Westlands, SWP or other water source?)

Energy rates are not publicly available.

Westlands Water District’s website may provide details on water rates.

Would the DON consider a joint venture whereby the DON’s assets are contributed to a joint venture and the energy and/or water developer contributes capital to develop projects and/or manage the energy and water assets as a service?

This is not a concept that the Government has been considering. Any potential solicitation will provide additional details on acceptable requirements.

Can IKC cover capital costs associated with developing new infrastructure?

Any specific project requirement will be defined in potential future solicitation. Final in-kind consideration projects(s) will be negotiated with the selected proposer during the exclusive negotiation phase. All in-kind consideration must be for the exclusive benefit of the Government.

Interconnection/Third Party Off-takers

The RFI indicates that ‘DON does not intend to purchase energy or water from any commercial development’. Would a structure whereby a developer delivers energy or water to offset the need for the DON to pay for energy or water from another source be considered?

Please refer to Amendment Two (2), #9.

Does the DON source energy and water from another source that could be replaced/substituted (in whole or in part)? If so, what are these sources?

Are there any physical or contractual constraints to doing so?

The goal of any potential in-kind consideration project(s) is to bolster Installation resiliency and redundancy; it is not to replace existing utility contracts.

Water Usage

Does the DON have data relating to NAS Lemoore’s historic water sources and uses and its related cost? If so, will this be available for review in this process?

To what extent will industry have access to on-base expertise in this process (i.e. the team(s) responsible for managing water and water today)?

No, NAS Lemoore receives Municipal & Industrial water to support Installation operations.

Does the surrounding land have a surface water allocation (CVP, SWP or otherwise)? If so, is it part of the WWD CVP contract? Or separate and higher priority?

Any future surface water allocation and priority for the potential Leased Premises will be categorized based on land use not priority of the surrounding land. Therefore, any response(s) to your questions are not yet available.

For historic farming on the surrounding land, are there records showing (a) the ratio of groundwater to surface water and(b) crop types?

Depending on the proposed interconnection plan of the renewable generation asset, the Government intends to receive whole base resiliency using the renewable generation in case of electrical utility grid outage.

What is the expected backup duration to serve critical loads during a grid outage?

Is there a load shedding scheme in place that can be leveraged during grid outages for the generation and storage facility to support critical loads?

Is there any interest in load peak shaving to avoid demand charges that may be incurred by the base during normal operations?
