Part I – The Schedule

SECTION A – SOLICITATION / CONTRACT FORM

QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS SOLICITATION MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING VIA E-

MAIL TO DLAENERGY.ETEAM@DLA.MIL NO LATER THAN AUGUST 21, 2020.

Continuation of SF 1449, Block 8 Offer Due Date 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.

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

Prospective offeror’s 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 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 Offer Due Date.

Firm-Fixed-Price accounts: shall include transmission and distribution losses to the Service Point, and the amount of kWh billed to the Service Point should match the Service Point's metered electricity consumption for the month. All electricity shall be priced at the applicable Load Zone.

Fixed-Price accounts utilizing RTSPP: See Clauses B19.47, B802, and B806 https://beta.sam.gov/

SPE60420R0405 – A0001 Page 5 of 55

The charges not included in the offered unit price are:

Firm-Fixed-Price accounts: all charges not included in the offered unit price are identified in Table 1 above.

Fixed-Price accounts utilizing RTSPP: See Clauses B19.47, B802, and B806

(f) Offerors may submit prices on all, some or none of the line items contained in the solicitation.

(g) The Government is soliciting unit prices consistent with and reflecting the structure established in the applicable tariffs.

NOTE 1 : CLIN 0019 Holdover has specific conditions for delivery eligible under the terms listed in ‘I821 Holdover’; should this CLIN have the supply of electricity delivered under these terms, the period of delivery would be no later than April 2024 for Installations associated with CLINs 0001 through 0015 and 0019; and no later than April 2022 for CLINs 0016, 0017, and 0018.

NOTE 2: CLIN 0002 (DYESS): Dyess Air Force Base has 11MW of diesel on-site generation used to supplement episodes of higher 4CP type loads (primarily during summer months) and for participation in the ERCOT Emergency Response Service demand response program to support reductions up to 7.5MW. As a secondary function, the generation is used for emergency and/or back-up generation (the installation data sheets show the indicative customer usage with on-site generation).

This generation is behind the meter and is always run at a level that does not feed back to the grid.

NOTE 3: CLIN 0015 NASA JSC has a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant behind ESID 1008901000183000017100 generating 11.9 MW total (2 x 5.7 MW gas turbines and a 500 Kw backpressure steam turbine), and which began full operation in June 2018. The Block volumes in Attachment VII – NASA SJC Pricing Sheet are intended to represent approximately 95% of the load for ESIDs 1008901000183000017100, 1008901000181570011100, 1008901023813685220103, 1008901023809429370100 which is not covered by the CHP. In the event of CHP failure, the immediate requirement for stand-by power would range from approximately 0.5 MW to 11.9 MW depending on what piece of equipment may have failed. Down-time for normal maintenance outages (each February and November) is accounted for in Attachment VII. Scheduled maintenance includes taking down one turbine for 17 days each February and one turbine for 17 days each November.

NOTE 4: During the performance period, any of the installations identified in Table 1 above may elect to enroll in a demand response program with a third-party Demand Response Provider (DRP). The Contractor will be notified of any such enrollment with a third-party DRP and be required to facilitate the Government’s participation by applying any applicable credit from the third-party DRP to the invoice(s) of the participating accounts. Upon enrollment, the DRP will be provided the Contractor’s contact information. When a credit is applicable, the DRP will send a check to the Contractor to be credited to the participating installation. CLIN 0002, Dyess AFB is currently enrolled in the ERCOT Emergency Response Service demand response program, additional information on which will be provided after award.

CLIN 0015: Priced at ERCOT Houston Hub

(i) For the kilowatt-hours (kWh) the Contractor supplies pursuant to Attachment(s) VI, VII, and VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, & XIII, titled “Block Purchase Schedule”, the Government shall pay the Contractor the product of a firm-fixed-price per kWh (around-the clock, on-peak, or off-peak as applicable) and the number of kWhs supplied from the block. The Government reserves the right to modify the “Block Purchase Schedule” to direct the Contractor to provide additional kWhs from firm-fixed-price blocks, without change to the Contractor’s SSF. Upon modification of the “Block Purchase Schedule,” the Contractor will propose a firm-fixed price of kWhs to be supplied from any additional block the Contractor acquires due to the modification. If the Government accepts the Contractor’s proposed price for additional kWhs, the contract will be modified to reflect that price for the additional block(s). The Government may decline the proposed if it determines the proposed price or any other aspect of the Contractor’s proposal is unsatisfactory.

(ii) All blocks shall be sized in 0.5 megawatts.

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

(iv) If in any Settlement Period the Government’s kWh consumption is below (or above) the sum of the kWhs supplied from blocks, 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 sum of kWhs supplied from 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 RTSPP, where--

SPE60420R0405 – A0001 Page 7 of 55

EDA is the Electricity Deficiency Adjustment ED is the Electricity Deficiency RTSPP is the relevant ERCOT Load Zone RTSPP (for CLIN 0008, 0010, and 0012 CLIN 0001); or the Houston Hub RTSPP (for CLIN 0015) value as posted on ERCOT’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 RTSPP, where-- EEA is the Excess Electricity Adjustment EE is the Excess Electricity RTSPP is the relevant ERCOT Load Zone RTSPP (for CLIN 0001); or the Houston Hub RTSPP (for CLIN 0015) value as posted on ERCOT’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) SUPPLY SERVICE FEE (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.

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. 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 52.2115-8 Order of Precedence, the Government’s explicit invoice and payment instructions in C800 supersedes FAR 52.212-4(g).

The Government will utilize Consolidated Retail Electric Provider (REP) Billing. The Government will not pay any additional charges for billing services. The contractor shall provide a single bill for all accounts at each installation serviced under any contract. The address to which said invoices shall be submitted will be provided at the time of contract award. Each invoice shall be prepared in a manner consistent with all REP/UDC arrangements and shall conform to all Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) requirements for REP Consolidated Billing. Each contractor invoice shall include the following information:

(1) Installation name, Line Item, and individual account information (Account Number and ESID, 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.

(4) Metering data shall clearly show previous and current meter indices with multiplier factor used to compute the consumption being invoiced. This data is per each main account and all associated meters per account.

(5) Demand information for each account number and ESID. The demand information shall also include date and time of occurrence. It is acceptable to provide the billing data that is provided by the Utility.

(6) Total energy charge (broken down by energy charges and demand charges (TDSP demand charges)).

(7) UDC/TDSP “pass through” charges for UDC/TDSP services, CLEARLY broken out in detail for each account number and ESID in a manner consistent with REP/UDC/TDSP arrangements and PUCT requirements. The UDC/TDSP charges will be based on the Transmission and Distribution Rates for investor owned utilities available at:

http://www.puc.state.tx.us/electric/rates/TDR.cfm. Standard UDC/TDSP tariff titles of each rate shall be used.

The following shall be provided, per element, with each UDC/TDSP “pass through” charge as indicated in Section B1.08:

a. usage

b. rate

c. charge http://www.puc.state.tx.us/electric/rates/TDR.cfm

SPE60420R0405 – A0001 Page 11 of 55

Each element shall appear on the customer invoice as a direct “pass through” charge with no additional mark up.

(8) All of the above info shall be clearly shown on the invoice to include any transmission loss factors.

(9) Each bill shall contain all UDC/TDSP and supplier charges (no partial bills will be accepted).

(10) All supporting documentation is required before payment will be made.

a. CLIN 0004 FORT HOOD: Fort Hood has a checklist (Attachment IV – Fort Hood Invoice Checklist Verification) that is used for invoice verification.

(11) If a REP 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 REP, the REP may issue a bill based on an estimated reading fifteen (15) calendar days following the meter read date for the affected account. The REP 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 REP to obtain the meter read data. For estimated billing purposes, the contractor 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 has been received by the Contractor. A rebill is acceptable as long as the installation is notified of the utilities failure to obtain a meter read, late charges are not assessed, and the installation has 30 days to pay from the date of invoice receipt.

(12) All information required by the PUCT to be included on customer invoices. The contractor may only invoice for charges allowed under the terms and conditions of the contract. Any costs associated with invoicing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be included as part of the offered price.
