SECTION A – SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

Continuation of SF 1449, Block 8

Note 1: Prospective offerors are encouraged to review Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.208 regarding timely submission of offers. Specifically, please be aware that it is the offeror's responsibility to ensure that their offer is actually received at the designated Government office prior to the solicitation closing. Submission of offers by electronic commerce (e.g. e-mail or fax) is governed by FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i). If an offeror electronically submits its offer on the day the solicitation closes, then timeliness will be determined based on whether or not the offer was actually received prior to closing. In that situation, the offeror will bear the risk of any delay in the transmission of their offer (e.g. offeror clicked "send" prior to the closing of the solicitation, but the e-mail did not arrive until after the time for closing), and offers not actually received prior to closing will be late. However, pursuant to FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i), if an offeror utilizes a means of electronic commerce to send their offer and transmits it not later than 5:00 p.m. ONE DAY PRIOR to the time for closing (and can prove that they have done so), then the offeror will be protected from such unexpected transmission delays and its offer will be considered timely.

*Emails being sent to DLA Energy by non-DoD entities during the weekdays from 0800 to 1700 may be delayed up to several hours. To minimize potential issues as a result of any email delays, DLA Energy requests that any correspondence from Non-DoD Entities allow at least 24 hours to be received.

Note 2: The Government reserves the right not to consider any exceptions to the stated solicitation requirements received after the due date for technical offers.

Note 3: A date for the submission of prices will be established via a future amendment.

B19.46 BLOCK PURCHASES (ELECTRICITY) (DLA ENERGY OCT 2017)

The total amount charged by the Contractor each month shall equal the sum of charges for: (a) Electricity, (b) the Supply Service Fee (SSF), and (c) Other Market Charges.

(a) ELECTRICITY. The Contractor shall procure a portion of the electricity to be delivered under the contract in blocks at firm-fixed prices in accordance with paragraph (1) below. All blocks shall be purchased at PJM Western Hub, with the remainder of the electricity requirement at the relevant PJM UDC zone’s Real-time Locational Marginal Price (LMP).

(1) Electricity – Purchase by Firm-Fixed Price Blocks.

(i) Attachment I, titled “Block Purchase Schedule”, contains details concerning the dates and size of firm-fixed price blocks the Contractor shall purchase on behalf of the Government. The Government reserves the right to modify Attachment I without change to the Contractor’s SSF.

(ii) All blocks shall be sized in whole megawatts.

(iii) Blocks may be either all-hour (i.e., 24 hours by 7 days), or on-peak period only, or off-peak period only.

(iv) For each block purchase, the Contractor shall provide to the Government at least three executable price quotes, or at least four if one of the executable price quotes is from a Contractor affiliate. Within one hour of receiving notification from the Contractor regarding the executable price quotes for a firm-fixed price block, the Government will notify the Contractor of its decision to accept one, or reject all, of the executable price quotes provided by the Contractor. Typically, the Government will notify the contractor, by telephone, of its decision within five to ten minutes of receiving the executable price(s). Upon receipt of the Government’s acceptance of an executable price quote, the Contractor shall purchase the block.

The Government may, in its sole discretion, reschedule the purchase of a block, pursuant to the foregoing procedures, should the Government reject all of the executable price quotes provided http://www.fbo.gov/

SPE600-17-R-0406 Page 6 of 67 by the Contractor for a block. The Government is responsible only for the decision to enter into block electricity purchases. The Contractor is responsible for managing all other aspects as required by the Statement of Work to ensure performance. The Government reserves the right to decline to purchase any block(s) if, in its sole discretion, it determines the price or any other aspect of the proposed block purchase is unsatisfactory.

(v) For the blocks of electricity purchased by the Contractor at firm-fixed prices, the Government shall pay the Contractor the product of the market-based block price-per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the number of kWhs in the block.

(vi) If in any Settlement Period the Government’s kWh consumption is below (or above) the sum of the blocks to be delivered, the Contractor shall credit (or charge) the Government for each kWh of consumption below (or above) the sum of the blocks as specified in subparagraph (2), below.

(2) Electricity – Purchased at relevant PJM UDC zone

Pricing for Quantities Outside Purchased Blocks of Electricity

(i) If, in any Settlement Period, consumption of electricity is below or above the contract blocks, the Contractor shall charge the Government in accordance with the methodology specified in Sections (2)(ii) and (2)(iii) of this contract text, respectively.

(ii) If, in any Settlement Period, an Electricity Deficiency occurs, an Electricity Deficiency Adjustment shall be made. Electricity Deficiency means the deficit in the Government’s Actual Consumption for the Settlement Period as measured against the sum of the electricity associated with the electricity blocks for the Settlement Period, i.e., the Benchmark Quantity. Electricity Deficiency is calculated by subtracting the Actual Consumption for a Settlement Period from the Settlement Period Benchmark Quantity for that period. The Electricity Deficiency Adjustment is a credit to the Government.

Expressed as a formula, the Electricity Deficiency Adjustment is EDA = ED x UDC RT LMP where-- EDA is the Electricity Deficiency Adjustment ED is the Electricity Deficiency UDC RT LMP is the relevant UDC zone’s Real-time LMP value as posted on PJM’s website.

The Electricity Deficiency Adjustment is calculated for each Settlement Period in the month in which the electricity was consumed and included on the next monthly invoice.

(iii) If, in any Settlement Period, Excess Electricity is consumed, an Excess Electricity Adjustment shall be made. Excess Electricity means the excess in the Government’s Actual Consumption for the Settlement Period as measured against the Settlement Period Benchmark Quantity. Excess Electricity is calculated by subtracting the Settlement Period Benchmark Quantity from the Actual Consumption for the Settlement Period. The Excess Electricity Adjustment is a charge to the Government.

SPE600-17-R-0406 Page 7 of 67

Expressed as a formula, the Excess Electricity Adjustment is EEA = EE x UDC RT LMP where-- EEA is the Excess Electricity Adjustment EE is the Excess Electricity UDC RT LMP is the relevant UDC zone’s Real-time LMP value as posted on PJM’s website.

The Excess Electricity Adjustment is calculated for each Settlement Period in the month in which the electricity was consumed and included on the next monthly invoice.

(b) SSF. For each Settlement Period, the Government shall pay the Contractor the product of the SSF and the account’s total electricity consumption in that Settlement Period. The SSF shall be fixed and identical for each kWh supplied under this contract. The SSF shall not include any charges identified in Paragraphs (a) Electricity; or (c) Other Market Charges; of this clause.

(c) OTHER MARKET CHARGES. The following charges identified below shall be a direct pass-through to the Government with no additional mark-up, and shall be invoiced in accordance with the INVOICE clause: All such charges are shown on the PJM Billing Statement Line Items, Attachment VI, as of October 5, 2017. An up-to-date version of these charges is available at:

Note 1: The following costs, which are not included in Section (a) Electricity or (b) SSF may be purchased by the Government through an RFP process or other method mutually agreed to and shall be invoiced in accordance with the INVOICE clause:

(i) Renewable Energy Credits – Contractor costs to comply with the state renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) associated with each of the accounts shall be passed through to the Government. The Government reserves the right to direct the Contractor to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) with those costs to be assigned to the applicable accounts and the RECs purchased by the Contractor to be used to satisfy the state RPS requirements associated with the applicable accounts. The costs associated with state RPS compliance are to be expressed as a per-kWh charge, applicable to the account and distributed over the calendar year, or the PJM planning year (June through May), as applicable based on state RPS regulations, in proportion to energy usage by the account. Pursuant to FAR 52.212-5(d), the Government has the right to audit the price quotes or other information submitted by the Contractor’s REC suppliers in order to verify price reasonableness and best value.

(ii) Capacity Costs – The cost to secure capacity to comply with PJM capacity requirements shall be passed through to the Government. The price of capacity charged to the Government shall not exceed the product of the Contractor’s Daily Unforced Capacity Obligation and the PJM Zonal Capacity Price net of the Capacity Transfer Rights Credit. The Daily Unforced Capacity Obligation is equal to the Obligation Peak load multiplied by the Final Zonal Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) Scaling Factor times the Forecast Pool Requirement, as those terms are defined by PJM, for the relevant time period and zone in which the account is located.

http://www.pjm.com/-/media/markets-ops/settlements/msrs/finalized-billing-statement-line-items-and-line-item-mapping.ashx?la=en http://www.pjm.com/-/media/markets-ops/settlements/msrs/finalized-billing-statement-line-items-and-line-item-mapping.ashx?la=en
