(1) The Contractor will provide the Government and the third party contractor with specifications (the “Specifications”) applicable under the terms of this Contract for its system components and for interconnections.

(2) The Government will require the third party contractor to renovate or construct any infrastructure that will connect to the Contractor’s existing systems in accordance with the Specifications.

(3) The Government will coordinate with the Contractor to ensure the existing system can accommodate any additional load requirements necessitated by the renovation/construction. Should the contractor determine that the existing systems require upgrades to support the additional load requirements; a price for the upgrade will be negotiated in accordance with FAR 52.243-1, Changes – Fixed- Price, Alt I.

(b) At the Government’s option, the Contractor will take ownership of system components renovated or constructed by the third party contractor to the Specifications. Any adjustment to service requirements and the contract price as a result of these actions will be in accordance with FAR 52.243-1, Changes – Fixed- Price, Alt I.

(c) The Contractor shall have the right to reasonably inspect the third party contractor’s construction of system components for which the Contractor will take ownership. The fixed-price hourly rate to be paid by the Government for such inspections shall be specified below and shall be subject to redetermination in accordance with the Price Redetermination – Prospective Clause. If no rate is specified, then inspections shall be deemed to be among the utility services included in the monthly utility service charge. Any inspection charge rates identified below will not considered in evaluation of offers for awards although rates may be addressed during negotiations.

Hourly Inspection Charge Rate: $_________ per hour.

(d) If third party constructed system components are not built to the Specifications, the Contractor shall identify such components and the basis for the discrepancy to the Government with specificity. The Government may direct the Contractor to perform any work required to bring the system into compliance with the Specifications, in which case the Contractor will be compensated in accordance with FAR 52.243-1, Changes – Fixed- Price, Alt I.

(e) In the event the parties are unable to agree on an equitable price adjustment for any of the above paragraphs, the matter shall be resolved under the provisions of this contract.

J3 Aberdeen Proving Ground Electrical

J3.1 Aberdeen Proving Ground Overview Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG or the Installation) is the Army's oldest active proving ground.

APG was established on October 20, 1917, six months after the United States entered World War I, to provide the military a facility where design and testing of ordnance materiel could be carried out in close proximity to the nation's industrial and shipping centers. The Installation officially opened on December 14, 1917, and the first gun was fired on January 2, 1918.

APG covers over 72,500 acres in Harford County, Maryland located approximately 35 miles northeast of Baltimore along and into the Chesapeake Bay. The Installation’s northernmost point is marked by the confluence of the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay. On the south it is bordered by the Gunpowder River. The Installation actually includes two principal areas, separated by the Bush River. The northern area is known as the Aberdeen Area, and the southern area, formerly Edgewood Arsenal (established in November, 1917 - as a chemical weapons research, development and testing facility), is the Edgewood Area The two areas were administratively combined in 1971. APG property not attached to the main installation includes the Churchville Test Site in Harford County and Carroll Island and Graces Quarters in Baltimore County.

APG is home to 66 tenants and a host of satellite activities. Among the major tenants are the U.S.

Research, Development and Engineering (RDECOM) , U.S. Army Ordnance Center and Schools, U.S. Army Developmental Test Command, U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center, U.S.

Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine, Northeast Region Civilian Personnel Operations Center, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, U.S.

Army Chemical Materials Agency and major elements of the Army Research Laboratory.

As a center for Army materiel testing, laboratory research and military training, the post is a key element in the nation's defense. All tanks and wheeled vehicles which have served U.S. forces for the past 50 years have been tested for performance and durability at APG - from the M4 Sherman tank of World War II to the M1 tank and High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle and Family of Stryker Vehicles of today.

Known as the "Home of Ordnance," APG has provided training for Army ordnance personnel since 1918. The Army's ordnance training was consolidated at the proving ground during World War II, and today the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School provides mechanical maintenance training for more than 20,000 U.S. and foreign personnel each year. APG’s Ordnance Center is also the regimental headquarters for the Army's Chief of Ordnance.

The Edgewood Area has been a center for chemical warfare research and development since it was established. From the trenches of France and Belgium in World War I to the desert battlefields of Iraq nearly 80 years later, the work done at APG has contributed to the defense and safety of American forces threatened by chemical weapons.

J3-4

More than 7,500 civilians work at APG, and more than 5,000 military personnel are assigned there. In addition, there are nearly 3,000 contractors and private business employees working on the proving ground.

There are 2,148 military family members living on the post and another 155 off post. The post supports more than 16,000 military retirees and retiree family members. The post is Harford County's largest employer and one of the largest employers in the state of Maryland.

J3.2 Electrical Distribution System Description J3.2.1 Electrical Distribution System Fixed Equipment Inventory APG’s electrical distribution system consists of all appurtenances physically connected to the distribution systems between the points of demarcation separating government ownership of the distribution system from the electric supplier and separating the distribution system from end-users. The Installation’s electrical distribution systems primarily serve the Aberdeen, Edgewood and Churchville Test Areas. The system may include, but is not limited to, circuit breakers, transformers, circuits, protective devices, utility poles, duct banks, switches, street lighting fixtures, and other ancillary fixed equipment. The following description and inventory is included to provide the Offeror with a general understanding of the size and configuration of the distribution system. The Offeror shall base the proposal on site inspections, information in the Offerors’ technical library, other pertinent information, and to a lesser degree the following description.

The Offeror shall base its proposal on the description and inventory listed in Section J3, on site inspections, information in the technical library and other pertinent information. The Offeror’s proposal first shall be based on the information that the Government provides in the solicitation, Section J3 and inventory. As described in RFP Section C11.1, Equitable Adjustment, if after award the Offeror identifies additional substantial inventory not listed in Section J3.2.1.4, the Offeror may submit to the Contracting Officer a request for an equitable adjustment. If the Offeror determines that the inventory listed in Section J3.2.1.4 is overstated / understated, the Offeror shall report the extent of the overstatement/understatement to the Contracting Officer, who will determine an equitable adjustment.

The Government uses the following useful lives in determining the value of the electrical distribution system to be privatized:

Component Useful Life OH conductor 35 years UG Conductor 25 years Pole-mounted Transformers 35 years Pad-Mounted Transformers 35 years Street Lights 20 years Meters 20 years Services 35 years

J3.2.1.1 System Description

Aberdeen Area The Government currently purchases electrical power for Aberdeen Area from Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (BG&E) at a single delivery point at the BG&E-owned Main Electric Supply Substation, which is located near the northwest corner of the Installation.

The electrical utility system is configured as a double-ended 34.5 kV sub-transmission loop supplying the distribution substations. The primary distribution system consists of a total of 50

4.16 kV and 13.8 kV circuits. The majority of the distribution circuits are configured with loop tie switches to neighboring circuits. The distribution system is composed primarily of overhead, pole-line construction (conventional open wire construction) with pole-mounted transformer banks. However, there is also a substantial amount of underground primary construction, utilizing both direct burial and duct-type construction practices. In addition to the utilization loads served from the 4.16 kV and 13.8 kV distribution systems, numerous loads are also served at utilization voltage directly from the 34.5 kV sub-transmission system.

The Government owns and operates an electrical distribution system at the Aberdeen Area consisting of:

• three 34.5 kV switching stations

• seventeen 34.5 kV distribution substations (the output of all 34.5-13.8 kV power transformers at the Aberdeen Area are adjusted to operate at 13.2 kV)

• approximately 89.03 circuit-miles of overhead primary distribution line (operating at both

4.16 kV and 13.2 kV)

Substation B is a 34.5 kV switching station consisting of two 34.5 kV line terminations and one

34.5 kV air switch. This substation provides loop switching capability for one 34.5 kV circuit.

The electrical substations were designed to be remotely monitored from two locations. The master computer terminal, which runs Basler Electric software on the Windows operating system, is located in Building 334. It receives data from the individual substation devices over the Installation’s fiber-optic communications system. A slave terminal (using a telephone modem communications link) is located in the High-Voltage Shop. This equipment is currently inoperative.

Aberdeen Area Peak Shaving Plant: APG currently uses a peak shaving plant (fuel oil fired) with a rated capacity of 15 MW. This peak shaving plant is used to reduce the Installation’s demand during the summer and APG’s peak load contribution (PLC), which in turn reduces the cost of electric service for the installation.

a. The peak shaving plant is also used to sell electricity back to the grid when it is economic to do so. This allows APG to receive credits from the Pennsylvania- New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Interconnection that helps to pay for the financed cost of constructing the plant. The Contractor will ensure that this functionality can continue.

b. APG has also enrolled in the Emergency Load Response (ELR) program (known as Rider 24 under BG&E) which allows APG to act as a load reduction on the grid in case of emergency or critical loads that would help keep the PJM grid up and running. The Contractor shall ensure that this function will remain intact throughout the term of the UP contract and/or the terms of the BGE ELR Program.

c. APG is also in the process of attempting to turn the peak shaving plant into an emergency generator for the northern area of the Aberdeen Area. This would allow critical loads at APG to continue running during an outage or emergency as

J3-8 an island. The Contractor shall ensure that this functionality continues to exist should the enhancements be made.

d. Although the ownership, operation and maintenance of the peak shaving plant will not be transferred with the potential privatization action, the ownership, operation and maintenance of the peak shaving plant may be re-evaluated in the future.

Edgewood Area The Government currently purchases electrical power for the Edgewood Area from BG&E at a single delivery point at the BG&E-owned Magnolia Substation, which is located near the northwest corner of the Installation.

The electrical distribution system is configured as a double-ended 34.5 kV sub-transmission loop supplying the distribution substations. The 34.5 kV sub-transmission loop was at one time operated in closed mode with protection provided by an RFL Electronics digital current differential relay system using a dedicated fiber optic communications system. However, this system was unreliable and is not being used any more. This is no longer a closed loop.

The primary distribution system consists of a total of 35 4.16 kV and 13.8 kV circuits. The majority of the distribution circuits are configured with loop tie switches to neighboring circuits.

The distribution system is composed primarily of overhead, pole-line construction (conventional open wire construction) with pole-mounted transformer banks. However, there is also a substantial amount of underground primary construction, utilizing both direct burial and duct-type construction practices. In addition to the utilization loads served from the 4.16 kV and 13.8 kV distribution systems, several loads are also served at utilization voltage directly from the 34.5 kV sub-transmission system.

The Government owns and operates an electrical utility system at Edgewood Area consisting of:

• one 34.5 kV switching station

• seventeen 34.5 kV distribution substations (the output of all 34.5-13.8 kV power transformers at the Edgewood Area are adjusted to operate at 13.2 kV)

• approximately 61.76 circuit-miles of overhead primary distribution line (operating at 2.4 kV, 4.16 kV and 13.2 kV)

• approximately 2.95 circuit-miles of underground primary distribution line (operating at 2.4 kV, 4.16 kV and 13.2 kV)

As noted in the Government identified system deficiencies, the Government plans to upgrade the

2.4 kV and 4.16 kV circuits to 13.8 kV within the main cantonment area of the Edgewood area.
