SECTION A – SOLICITATION / CONTRACT FORM

Continuation of SF 1449, Block 8 Note: QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS SOLICITATION MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING

VIA E-MAIL TO DLAENERGY.ETEAM@DLA.MIL NO LATER THAN JUNE 22, 2020.

Note: 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.

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

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

The Government will utilize/allow Dual Billing for CLINs 0002, 0004-0006, 0008, 0009, 0011, 0015, 0017, 0020, 0021, 0023, 0024, 0026, 0027, 0029, 0030, 0033 - 0035. CLIN 0027 requires Dual Billing with Provider Consolidated Invoicing. 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).

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

(3) Billing period for each account.

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

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

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

(7) 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.

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

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

(10) If a supplier is unable to issue a bill based on actual meter reading due to the failure of the transmission and distribution utility, municipally owned utility or electric cooperative to obtain or transmit a meter reading to the supplier, the supplier may issue a bill based on an estimated reading for the affected account. The supplier 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 supplier to obtain the meter read data. For estimated billing purposes, the supplier shall use the relevant monthly consumption data (as the estimate) included in the applicable Installation Data Sheet. All estimated bills shall be trued up on the next billing cycle if the applicable information is received by then.

(11) 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).

(12) Applicable to Line Item 0033 Argonne National Laboratory Only: All information listed in Attachment IV – Argonne Requirements and Schedule Sheet, Appendix I - Expected Invoice Format

(13) For all Pennsylvania line items, the PA Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) shall not be included in the offered unit prices. It shall be billed as a separate line item as a direct pass-though.

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:

A = Σ (B - C)*D

Where-- A = Termination value.

B = Award price for each usage period for each season.

C = Forward market bid price, defined herein.

D = Contract quantity for each usage period for each season (based on data listed in the Installation Data Sheet).

(B) The forward market bid price shall be defined as the average of on and off peak prices at PJM 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.

(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.
