About this file
This document is a set of Questions and Answers related to a Notice of Opportunity (NOO) for an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) at the Knolls (Niskayuna, NY 12309) facility under the management of the Naval Reactors Laboratories Field Office (NRLFO). The NOO invites current holders of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Fourth Generation ESPC indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to submit expressions of interest to be considered for a potential task order award. Key details include:
The ESCO will be required to use eProjectBuilder, a free web-based system, for developing the ESPC project and presenting baselines, estimated savings, and financial schedules. NRLFO reserves the right to open the scope of work to other National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) sites in the future and to determine if this requirement will result in one, multiple, or zero task orders. The Q&A addresses page limitations, font requirements, and the use of CPARS reports in lieu of past performance questionnaires for the proposal submission requirements.
