SECTION B – CONTINUATION BLOCK OF SF 1449

Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing via email to DLAEnergyEteam@dla.mil no later than January 22, 2024. The Government may not provide answers prior to the date and time provided on SF 1449, block 8.

CONTINUATION OF SF 1449, BLOCK 8 OFFER DUE DATE

This date refers 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 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.

1Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 2Summation of all four option years. The estimated quantities are not expected to significantly change from year-to-year, unless detailed in the below notes.

*Option Year (OY)

Option periods will be exercised at the discretion of the Government and are subject to the availability of funds in accordance with FAR 52.232-19.

NOTE: The (kWh) quantities in Table 1 and Table 2 were derived from Attachment I – Installation Data Sheet, which illustrates twelve months of historical usage for each account being solicited.

NOTE 2: CLIN 0003, U.S. Army Reserves 99th Division – CT, has cogeneration via a 39 KW Solar array, which affects account 51025485087. The Solar array became fully operational in 2011.

NOTE 3: CLIN 0007, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, has cogeneration via turbine, 1MW and 420kW solar array for account 51925216020. Turbine is expected to run all year with a semi annual shutdown for maintenance estimated to be 48 hours per shut down.

NOTE 4: CLIN 0009, CRREL, anticipates a significant increase to load. A new Climatic Cold Chamber (CCC) is through construction testing and use began in 2023. Future electrical load impact will depend upon degree of usage. Expect an additional 200kW of load when this facility is operating. Electrical usage will depend upon the nature of research being performed and the down time for setup, knock down, and dead time between research efforts. By 2026, it is anticipated that the Ice Engineering Facility overhaul be either complete or well under way. Ice Engineering Facility (IEF) overhaul is now estimated to be on line in 2026 to 2028. Thus, there will be no impact through 2024. A low temperature laser testing facility is in design, which will increase low temperature work loads in 2026. Expect an additional 150kW of load when the facility has research under way. A Frost Effects Load Simulator (FELS) is scheduled for installation in 2024-2025. This device will increase demand load by approximately 300kW when in operation. Electrical usage will depend upon the nature of research being performed and the down time for setup, knock down, and dead time between research efforts. These four projects will impact the electrical loads significantly. Approximately 500kW of CRREL’s load is continuous base load, including lighting, HVAC, limited heating, and base refrigeration loads.

NOTE 5: CLIN 0011, Naval Station Newport, currently has planning and design (P&D) funding in place to evaluate any/all potential cogeneration/combined heat & power options; with findings and recommendations data expected in early FY25. Existing cogeneration is being treated as a closed asset.

The contract under which it was installed doesn’t cover repairs and there is no planned contract action at this time. Additionally, a High Voltage Discount and High Voltage Metering appear on the National Grid invoice.

SPE60424R0400 Request For Proposal (RFP) / Solicitation Page 5

NOTE 6: CLIN 0012, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, has 2 natural gas turbines that are 5.2MW and 5.5MW respectively. A new 7.5MW turbine came online in 2022. The new turbine is prime and not standby. During the winter we would expect to run all three turbines to generate up to 18.2MW but the generation is based on a balance between steam demand and power demand, so we don’t typically run all three at their max output. In the summer we would expect to run two of the units. The numbers provided are nameplate ratings but they can actually output a little more if the weather is cold and air is dry enough. We could squeak around 19.5MW out of them if we had that level of demand. We also have two standby 2MW diesel generators that we typically only run for storm support or if we lose utility power.

We have an SOP in place to import a minimum of 1MW from the utility at all times regardless of our onsite generation so that we don’t accidentally export to the utility if we have a large swing in demand. I do want to caveat that our utility usage can vary based on CTG uptimes. We’ve had our CTG-2 down for nearly 6 months now while we come through a starting issue so our electrical utility usage has been higher than we would typically expect this time of year.

NOTE 7: CLIN 0014, Devens Army Reserve Depot, has several funded energy projects to reduce energy usage through better monitoring and occupant use. Army Climate Strategic Plan is to reduce usage year over year by 1.5%. No other significant usage changes are expected.

NOTE 9: Offerors may submit prices based on the requirements clause (Load Following) or in accordance with the bandwidth clause in this solicitation (I801). Both will be evaluated on an equal basis.

Prior to the Reverse Auction date and time, Offerors shall provide a statement to the Government which clearly states if their offer will use the bandwidth clause or not.

Four 1-year option periods: The Government is soliciting offers for Firm Fixed Price, Requirements Type utilizing LMP basis for electricity (See B802 below).

NOTE 10: Executive Order (EO) 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability, was issued on December 8, 2021. The EO requires the Government transition to 100% Carbon Pollution-Free Electricity (CFE) by 2030.

It is the Government’s intent to maximize the amount of CFE it procures pursuant to this contract, subject to terms, conditions, and prices mutually agreed to in writing by Contractor and the Government.

Contractor shall use reasonable efforts throughout the period of performance to identify available CFE

SPE60424R0400 Request For Proposal (RFP) / Solicitation Page 6 and timely present options to the Government to fulfill the Government’s energy requirements under this contract with CFE. The parties agree that such reasonable efforts do not constitute a guarantee by the Contractor that it will provide CFE.

Reasonable Efforts are defined as, at a minimum, the contractor and government mutually agree to commercial terms such as pricing, product structure, and term duration prior to the purchase of any CFE compliant with EO 14057. Contractor will supply a quarterly update on the market for PJM-based CFE compliant projects to include location, technology, pricing, and estimated COD timing, to the extent this information is known. This may also include information provided to contractor from its industry partners. Contractor will supply DLA a monthly or quarterly pricing update on commonly purchased national EAC prices. Contractor will not be expected to act as a broker.

An excusable delay or similar event suffered by an independent service operator (ISO-New England) (or an equivalent of an ISO) or a utility distribution company (or electric distribution company or transmission distribution services provider) shall constitute an excusable delay hereunder. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly provide notice to the Contracting Officer of

SPE60424R0400 Request For Proposal (RFP) / Solicitation Page 12 the cessation of such occurrence. Upon delivery of notice of the occurrence of an excusable delay, the obligations of the Contractor shall be suspended to the extent affected by such excusable delay.

(2) After-imposed Federal, State, or local tax, as used in this DLA Energy FAR Tailored clause, means any new or increased Federal, State, or local excise tax or duty, or tax that was exempted or excluded on the contract award date but whose exemption was later revoked or reduced, or whose computation was later changed during the contract period, on the transactions or property covered by this contract that the Contractor is required to pay or bear as the result of legislative, judicial, or administrative action taking effect after the contract date. It does not include social security tax, income tax, or other employment taxes. The contract price shall be increased by the amount of any after-imposed Federal, State or local tax, provided the Contractor warrants, in writing, that no amount for such newly imposed Federal, State, or local excise tax or duty or rate increase was included in the contract price, as a contingency reserve or otherwise.

(3) After-relieved Federal, State, or local tax, as used in this DLA Energy FAR Tailored clause, means any amount of Federal, State, or local excise tax or duty that would otherwise have been payable on the transactions or property covered by this contract, but which the Contractor is not required to pay or bear, or for which the Contractor obtains a refund or drawback, as the result of legislative, judicial, or administrative action taking effect after the contract date. It does not include social security tax, income tax, or other employment taxes. The contract price shall be decreased by the amount of any after-relieved Federal, State, or local tax.

(l) TERMINATION FOR THE GOVERNMENT'S CONVENIENCE.

(1) In accordance with all applicable state and local distribution company regulations, the Government reserves the right to terminate this contract with respect to any or all contract quantities, for its sole convenience. 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 to 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:

(i) Firm Fixed Price: 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 Sheets).

(A) If the termination value on the date of termination is negative, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any payment.

(B) The forward market bid price shall be defined as the average of on and off peak prices at the applicable ISO-NE 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 audit forward market price data obtained by the Contractor.

SPE60424R0400 Request For Proposal (RFP) / Solicitation Page 13

(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 DLA Energy FAR Tailored clause.

NOTE: The termination value formulas above shall only apply to electricity or capacity purchased on a fixed price basis. The Government shall incur no termination liability for electricity purchased on a locational marginal pricing basis, or capacity on a pass-through basis.

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.
