Part I – The Schedule

SECTION A – SOLICITATION / CONTRACT FORM

Continuation of SF 1449, Block 8 This date refers to only 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.

A date for the submission of prices will be established via an amendment to be issued after the Offer Due Date.

http://www.fbo.gov/

SPE60419R0403 Page 4 of 36

C800 STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS (ELECTRICITY) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012)

(a) STATEMENT OF WORK. The Contractor shall supply electricity and any ancillary services required to deliver electricity to the point of delivery and for the scheduling and coordination of the delivery of electricity to the service point for each account under the contract. All quantities ordered by the Government shall be considered firm and guaranteed for delivery by the Contractor to the delivery point, and for scheduling and coordinating, for ultimate delivery to the service point for each account. Charges incurred as a result of the Contractor's failure to abide by the terms of the applicable Retail Access rules and/or the UDC Service Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

With the exception of any and all transmission and distribution related charges payable by the Government to the UDC under the applicable tariff for each account (unless said charges are the result of the Contractor's failure to perform in accordance with the contract), the Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with deliveries to the delivery point and the scheduling and coordination for delivery of electricity to the service point for each account under the contract. The Contractor shall be liable for any and all penalties and/or additional costs assessed to the Government for the non-delivery of the firm requirements in accordance with paragraphs (f) and (m) of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause.

(b) INVOICE AND PAYMENT. FAR 52.212-4 (g) is incorporated by reference as it is a mandatory commercial clause. However, although the purchase of electricity is entirely commercial, the billing of electricity does not squarely fall into the reasonable requirements the Government mandates for other commercial products to be invoiced. Under the authority of FAR 52.215-8 Order of Precedence, the Government’s explicit invoice and payment instructions in C800 supersedes FAR 52.212-4(g).

The Government will utilize/allow Consolidated UDC Billing (also known as Single Bill Option in Ameren) for CLIN 0001. The contractor must submit all invoice information to the appropriate UDC under the terms of the applicable Retail Access Rule, in accordance with terms of its UDC Service Agreement. All invoicing shall be based on metered quantities at the service point for each account. The contractor may only invoice for charges allowed under the terms and conditions of the contract. Any costs associated with Consolidated UDC Billing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be included as part of the offered price.

The Government will utilize/allow Dual Billing for CLINs 0002, 0003, and 0004. All invoicing shall be based on meter quantities at the service point for each account. The Contractor may only invoice for charges allowed under the terms and conditions of the contract. Any costs associated with billing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be included as part of the offered price. Each invoice shall be prepared in a manner consistent with and shall conform to the applicable PUC requirements for Dual Billing. In addition to the requirements set forth in FAR 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS Paragraph (g), each contractor invoice shall include the following information for Dual Billed accounts, if available from the UDC:

(1) Installation name, Line Item, and individual account information (Account Number, Meter Number, and Service Address).

The invoice shall also include the Supplier’s information such as logo, address, point of contact (name and phone number), and wiring information.

(2) Billing period for each account.

(3) Total consumption for each account (broken down by Peak, Off-Peak, Semi-Peak, if available).

(4) Total Energy Charge (broken down by energy charges and demand charges, if available).

(5) Demand information for each account (broken down by Peak, Off-Peak, Semi-Peak, if available).

(6) Charges for services broken out in detail for each account in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the contract and the applicable PUC requirements.

SPE60419R0403 Page 5 of 36

(7) All information required by the applicable PUC to be included on customer invoice.

(8) If customer questions information on an invoice, supporting documentation is required before payment will be made.

The paying offices for each installation awarded under any resultant contract will be identified below.

Supplier coordination with the local utility will be necessary to ensure that these customers receive identical billing data from both the supplier and the local utility (i.e. commodity and wire charges must be based on the utility’s billing cycle).

If a Contractor is unable to issue a bill based on actual meter reading due to the failure of the UDC to obtain or transmit a meter reading to the Contractor, the Contractor may issue a bill based on an estimated reading fifteen (15) calendar days following the meter read date for the affected account. The Contractor must inform the customer of the reason for the issuance of the estimated bill, and the Government reserves the right to obtain documentation relating to the efforts taken by the Contractor to obtain the meter read data. For estimated billing purposes, the estimate of usage provided by the UDC shall be used first. If no such UDC estimate is available, the Contractor shall use the relevant monthly consumption data (as the estimate) included in the applicable Installation Data Sheet, adjusted for the number of days. All estimated bills shall be trued up on the next billing cycle.

(c) METERING AND METER READING SERVICES. Will be provided by the incumbent UDC for each account.

(d) SCHEDULING AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to schedule deliveries for all accounts awarded for the time period specified herein. The Contractor shall be responsible for supply management and overall coordination of production, transmission, and distribution of electrical power to the service point of each account identified in the contract. As such, the Contractor shall be knowledgeable of and responsible for imbalance policies, transmission grid losses, transmission congestion charges and UDC line losses for the delivery of electricity to the service point of each account under the contract. The Contractor must meet all applicable State and Federal requirements necessary to successfully complete any contract. The Government will not pay any costs associated with the Contractor's failure to deliver electrical power at the delivery point sufficient to meet the demand at the service point of each account under the contract or to schedule and coordinate for the delivery of electricity to each service point.

(e) RECORD KEEPING. The Contractor shall keep records of data required to bill in accordance with the utility tariff of each account (demand and consumption data) in an electronic database format compatible with Microsoft Access or a spreadsheet format compatible with Microsoft Excel. These records shall be made available to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy as authorized to request this data. In the event that the Contractor maintains records on demand and consumption data in addition to that required to bill in accordance with the utility tariff, said data shall also be made available to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy as authorized to request this data. The Contractor shall provide (or make available) to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy, interval data (for those accounts with an interval meter) in Microsoft Excel format, on a monthly basis throughout the entire delivery term of any resultant contract.

(f) ORDERING. Orders shall be made in accordance with the ELECTRICITY ORDERING PROCEDURES contract text.

(g) POINT OF DELIVERY. For this solicitation and any resulting contract, the delivery point for each account is defined as an interconnect with the UDC owned or controlled transmission or distribution system and where applicable, Contractor will schedule to the Residual Aggregate point of delivery.

(h) SERVICE POINT. For this solicitation and any resulting contract, the service point is defined as the meter(s) indicated for each account awarded as described in Attachment I.

In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall cease deliveries hereunder with respect to such terminated contract quantities on the first allowable date subsequent to such termination according to the applicable tariff sheets of the local distribution company. The Contractor shall cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work related to this contract prior to the date and time specified by the Government for the termination. Subject to the terms and conditions of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid for electricity delivered under the contract prior t the date and time specified by the Government for the termination of any or all contract quantities plus any additional energy the Contractor is required to deliver for the Government’s account under applicable location distribution company tariff sheets.

(2) In the event of a termination for convenience, the Government shall pay the Contractor the termination value, if positive, calculated by the following formula:

(B) The forward market bid price shall be defined as the average of on and off peak prices at the MISO zone where the installation is located for a term equal to the remaining term of the contract. The forward market price will be determined by the Contractor in a commercially reasonable manner, which may include polling energy brokers on the date of termination. The Government shall have the right to reasonably audit forward market price data obtained by the Contractor.

SPE60419R0403 Page 8 of 36

(C) In the event that the Government elects to terminate on a date other than the end of a month or at the end of the summer/non-summer season, as defined by applicable local distribution company and tariff, the estimated remaining contract quantity will be calculated by prorating the partial month or partial season of service.

(D) In the event of a termination for convenience, the Government’s liability shall be limited to the termination value calculated in accordance with the provisions of this tailored clause.

(m) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. 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.
