SECTION B – CONTINUATION BLOCK OF SF 1449

Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing via email to dlaenergy.eteam@dla.mil no later than 23 April, 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 E 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.

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).

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.

(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 2: The termination value formulas above shall only apply to RPS, 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.

(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. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(n) TITLE. Title to the electricity supplied by the Contractor under this contract shall pass to the Government upon delivery at the delivery point specified in the Schedule. The Contractor warrants that the electricity delivered to the Government under this contract will be free and clear of any liens, claims and encumbrances arising prior to delivery at the delivery point specified in the Schedule.
