SECTION B – SUPPLIES TO BE FURNISHED RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES

(a) Brief Description: A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) represents the property rights to the environmental, social, and other non-power qualities of renewable electricity generation transferred to the Government. As renewable generators produce electricity, they create one REC for every 1000 kilowatt-hours (or 1 megawatt-hour) of electricity placed on the grid. Government “goals” identified in Executive Order (E.O.) 13693, Planning for Sustainability in the Next Decade (dated March 19, 2015) drive the Ordering Agency’s REC requirement. These RECs earn “credit” for the Agency to meet the Governmental goal for a given Fiscal Year (FY). RECs are also known as “green tags”, “green certificates” and “renewable energy credits”.

(b) Item Numbers: The Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) identified in Section B, Table 1 are the only supplies available for future orders.

(c) Quantities: The estimated quantity for this Agreement is 8,636,360 megawatt-hours (MWh) over five years. The estimate is based off of a cumulative average of all RECs delivered using DLA Energy’s historical information and pricing data.

(d) Deliverables: All deliverables associated to the REC(s) delivered under these terms and clauses shall be furnished in accordance with Section B, Supplies to be Furnished, and C, Statement of Work, whereby the following is required:

(1) Exhibit I REC Certificate of Transfer furnished at the time of REC(s) delivery.

(2) Exhibit II REC Attestations- to be completed by the generator and BOA Holder furnished at the time of REC(s) delivery.

(3) Verification Audit – All required audit reports shall be furnished for delivery as follows:

(i) Third-Party Verification Audit1 – (required for non-Green-e or non-LEED Certified) At a minimum, an audit must be performed by a Certified Public Accountant within 90 calendar days of the delivery date to verify the REC product content was sufficiently generated; the BOA Holder shall deliver the audit report to the Ordering Agency as soon as it’s available. This audit shall identify quantity, renewable type, vintage and on-line date pursuant to Exhibits I and II.

(ii) Green-e & LEED Certified Annual Audit2 - as required by Green-e National Standard, the BOA Holder must conduct an annual verification process to substantiate product purchases, sales, and claims. The BOA Holder must produce a report from an independent Certified Public Accountant or certified internal auditor to conduct this verification in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Green-e Energy Verification Process Audit Protocol (see Footnote 2). The results of the verification must be submitted to the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) by the annual deadline specified by CRS. The subsequent report delivered to CRS shall be required to be delivered to the Ordering Agency.

DLA Energy Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Basic Ordering Agreement Solicitation SP0600-15-R-0416

Section B, Table1: Supplies to be Furnished

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK /SPECIFICATIONS

(a) PURPOSE: This Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) between [Company Name] (herein “DLA BOA Holder”) and the

Defense Logistics Agency Energy (herein “DLA Energy”) is entered into for the potential supply of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

(b) BACKGROUND: RECs serve the role of laying claim to and accounting for the associated attributes of renewable-based generation. As renewable generators produce electricity, they have a positive impact, reducing the need for fossil fuel-based generation sources to meet consumer demand. RECs embody these positive environmental impacts and convey these benefits to the REC owner. As renewable generators produce electricity, they create one REC for every 1000 kilowatt-hours (or 1 megawatt-hour) of electricity placed on the grid. If the physical electricity and the associated RECs are sold to separate buyers, the electricity is no longer considered "renewable" or "green." The REC product is what conveys the attributes and benefits of the renewable electricity, not the electricity itself.

DLA Energy Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Basic Ordering Agreement Solicitation SP0600-15-R-0416

(c) DEFINITIONS:

(1) Renewable Energy Certificate(REC) 3 :means the technology and environmental (non-energy) attributes that represent proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource, that can be sold separately from the underlying generic electricity with which they are associated, and that, for the purposes of this order [E.O. 13693], were produced by sources of renewable energy placed into service within 10 years prior to the start of the fiscal year.

(2) Eligible Renewable Energy Resource4 : is to mean ‘‘renewable electric energy’’ or “REC Type/Source”, which is energy produced by solar, wind, biomass, landfill gas, ocean (including tidal, wave, current, and thermal), geothermal, geothermal heat pumps, microturbines, municipal solid waste, or new hydroelectric generation capacity achieved from increased efficiency or additions of new capacity at an existing hydroelectric project. (For the purposes of this BOA, this definition is to mean “All / Any REC source” as shown in Section B, Table 1 – Supplies to be Furnished”.)

(3) Produced:(as referenced in paragraph “i” above), this BOA defines this term to mean “the date of vintage in accordance with paragraph iv. Vintage below”.

(4) Vintage5: is to mean “Vintage Date” or “Generation Date” which are interchangeable with respect to industry standards. Vintage is defined as the date that the electric generation associated with the REC was measured by the system operator or utility meter at the generator site.

(5) Contract Year: may also be known as ‘Goal Year’ or ‘Current Year’, however, for the purpose of this BOA, Contract Year, Goal Year or Current Year, is to mean “Fiscal Year” (FY) October 1 – September 30” See Section C, Diagram 1 (Note: some industry standards define the “Current Year / Contract Year / Goal Year” as January 1 – December 30; however, due to Federal Funding limitations, this BOA defines the Contract/Current/Goal Year to mean “Fiscal Year”).

(6) Federal REC Vintage Timeline: RECs are defined as ELIGIBLE under this BOAs requirements when the REC generated six (6) months immediately preceding each Fiscal year, or three (3) months immediately following each Fiscal Year, making the total eligible generation period 21 consecutive months. See Section C, Table 1- Federal REC Vintage Timeline.

(7) Green-e Certified “Green-e” is defined as CERTIFIED RECs and has specific standards different from any other REC source. Standards, specifications (to include vintage) are fully defined in Green-e Energy National Standard (also known as: ‘National Standard’), Version 2.7 Released: July 14, 2015.

(8) eGRID RECs: Requesting agencies will accept RECs from the following eGRID sub-regions6: MRO West, RFC West and SPP North.

eGRID7 is to mean the Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID), which is a comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes of electric power systems. eGRID is the preeminent source of air emissions data for the electric power sector. Data is based on available plant-specific data for all U.S. electricity generating plants that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. eGRID integrates many different federal data sources on power plants and power companies, including, but not limited to: EPA, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Emissions data from EPA are carefully integrated with generation data from EIA to produce useful values like pounds per megawatt-hour (lb/MWh) of emissions, which allows direct comparison of the environmental attributes of electricity generation. eGRID also provides aggregated data by state, U.S. total, company, and by three different sets of electric grid boundaries.

(9) LEED Certified RECs8: A LEED REC is an off-site renewable energy source, as defined by the Center for Resource Solutions Green-e Energy program’s products certification requirements, or the equivalent. Green power may be procured from a Green-e Energy certified power marketer or a Green-e Energy-accredited utility program, or through Green-e Energy-certified tradable renewable energy certificates (RECs) or the equivalent. To meet the LEED standard, RECs must be accompanied with proof of a contract to purchase RECs for a minimum of 2 years and must also make a commitment to purchase RECs on an ongoing basis beyond that.

(10) Substantial Change to Executive Orders (E.O.): Should E.O. 13693 be updated, or replaced, by any superseding E.O. or higher level Government mandate, the update may govern the definition(s) of eligible Supplies to be Furnished provided in this Section (relating to Section B, Table 1). The scope and magnitude of the REC

(D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

“Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database” means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, the Contractor and government Entity (CAGE) code, as well as data required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (see subpart 4.14), into the SAM database;

(2) The Contractor has completed the Core, Assertions, Representations and Certifications, and Points of Contact sections of the registration in the SAM database;

(3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process; and

(4) The Government has marked the record “Active”.

“System for Award Management (SAM)” means the primary Government repository for prospective Federal awardee and Federal awardee information and the centralized Government system for certain contracting, grants, and other assistance-related processes. It includes—

(1) Data collected from prospective Federal awardees required for the conduct of business with the Government;

(2) Prospective contractor-submitted annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR subpart 4.12;

and

(3) Identification of those parties excluded from receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain types of Federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits.

(b) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete.

Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(c)

(1)

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, doing business as name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to—

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support he legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM. Information provided to the Contractor’s SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall ensure that the DUNS number is maintained with Dun & Bradstreet throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall communicate any change to the DUNS number to the Contracting Officer within

DLA Energy Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Basic Ordering Agreement Solicitation SP0600-15-R-0416

30 days after the change, so an appropriate modification can be issued to update the data on the contract. A change in the DUNS number does not necessarily require a novation be accomplished. Dun & Bradstreet may be contacted—

(i) Via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the Contractor does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.
