Part I – The Schedule
SECTION A – SOLICITATION / CONTRACT FORM
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS SOLICITGATION MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING VIA E-
MAIL TO DLAENERGY.ETEAM@DLA.MIL NO LATER THAN MARCH 5, 2019.
Continuation of SF 1449, Block 8 This date refers to only to the non-price proposal requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP).
Offerors shall submit all Non-Price Proposal elements and all other required documents pursuant to Section L of this RFP. Offerors are encouraged to submit their proposals early as pricing is not required prior to the date/time defined in SF 1449, Block 8.
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.
*E-mails 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 e-mail delays, DLA Energy requests that any correspondence from Non-DoD Entities allow at least 24 hours to be received.
The Government reserves the right not to consider any exceptions to the stated solicitation requirements received after the due date for technical offers.

(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
SPE60419R0402_A0003 Page 5 of 44 purchase of a block, pursuant to the foregoing procedures, should the Government reject all of the executable price quotes provided 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.

(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 ComEd Zone where-- EDA is the Electricity Deficiency Adjustment ED is the Electricity Deficiency ComEd Zone is the relevant PJM ComEd Zone Day-Ahead 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.
Expressed as a formula, the Excess Electricity Adjustment is EEA = EE x ComEd Zone where-- EEA is the Excess Electricity Adjustment EE is the Excess Electricity
SPE60419R0402_A0003 Page 6 of 44

(C) The cost incurred by the Contractor for forward purchased ancillary services, or other cost items, to the extent that these incurred costs cannot be mitigated through market sale or other means, may be recovered by the Contractor in the event of a termination for convenience of the Government upon a showing by the Contractor that the costs for ancillary services (or other costs) to serve the Government load were reasonably incurred, reasonable efforts were made by the Contractor to mitigate the costs, that the costs incurred by the Contractor were for the sole purpose of serving the Government load.

The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.
