1/18/2019 US Army Engineering and Support Center - Huntsville Alabama

Version 1 Rev 1.0

1.0 BACKGROUND.

Section 543(e)(1) of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act [42 U.S.C. 8253(e)(1)], as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) requires

“By October 1, 2012, in accordance with guidelines established by the Secretary …, all Federal buildings shall, for the purposes of efficient use of energy and reduction in the cost of electricity used in such buildings, be metered. Each agency shall use, to the maximum extent practicable, advanced meters or advanced metering devices that provide data at least daily and that measure at least hourly consumption of electricity in the Federal buildings of the agency. Not later than October 1, 2016, each agency shall provide for equivalent metering of natural gas and steam, in accordance with guidelines established by the Secretary …. Such data shall be incorporated into existing Federal energy tracking systems and made available to Federal facility managers.”

The “guidelines established by the Secretary” in 42 U.S.C. 8253(e)(1), coordinated with each agency (e.g., Department of Defense [DoD]), taking into consideration expected savings and costs of metering, maintenance, and training, establishes priorities for types and locations of buildings to be metered and establishes exclusions based on cost-effectiveness.

Section 3(f)(ii) of Executive Order (EO) 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade (19 Mar 2015) adds the requirement to install water meters and collect data to improve water conservation and management.

DoD’s guidelines for complying with the metering requirements of the law are incorporated in UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements, which references the metering requirements of Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4170.11 (March 16, 2016) as amended by DOD Utilities Meter Policy, 16 April 2013. Together, the DoD policies require advanced metering each applicable building for each utility serving the building (electricity, steam, natural gas, and water), wherein an advanced metering system (AMS) must automatically and reliably collect and analyze regular interval data from advanced meters and distribute information to key stakeholders. DoD directs all Components (e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force) to install sufficient advanced meters to capture 60% of electricity use and natural gas use with a goal of 85% at the Component level by the end of Fiscal Year 2020.

MDMS is the Army’s implementation of DoD’s AMS requirement, the requirements of which are described in Army Directive 2014-10 (Advanced Metering of Utilities, June 4, 2014), Energy and Water Goal Attainment Responsibility Policy for Installations (ASA-IEE Memorandum, Jan 13, 2017), and Sustainable Design and Development Policy Update ( ASA-IEE Memorandum, Jan 17, 2017). To the requirements of the law and DoD, the Army adds 1) the requirement to also meter district chilled water and hot water serving buildings, 2) the requirement for advanced meters to report 15-minute interval data for all utilities to the Army’s MDMS at least hourly, 3) the requirement to install all meters in compliance with Army Metering Program Guidance (HNC UMCS-MCX, Revision 8, May 2016), and 4) the requirement to also meter, where practical, building subsystems according to ASHRAE 189.1-2014 Section 6.3.3 for Water Consumption and Section 7.3.3 for Energy Consumption.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

Regarding the purpose of metering and AMS, DoDI 4170.11 states that “while meters themselves do not constitute a direct energy conservation measure, it is expected that the management of data collected through metering will lead to energy and cost savings. Meter data should be collected, assimilated, interpreted, and made available to facility and energy program managers. This information should serve as the foundation to establishing facility energy efficiency relative to other facilities in the building inventory. It should also serve to identify and confirm opportunities for energy reduction or increased energy efficiency through improved operation procedures, best practices, or energy conservation and retrofit projects.”

Thus, the primary objective of this contract is to implement the chosen COTS in order to operate, enhance, and sustain the Army’s centralized MDMS in order to accomplish the primary mission of (1) delivering dependable meter data, (2) use industry standards to normalize data and establish facility energy consumption relative to other facilities, (3) provide tools in an easy-to-use interface to enable facility and energy program managers to identify and confirm opportunities for energy reduction, (4) support continual advancement and optimization in capabilities and technologies, (5) keep the system in accordance with applicable laws, policies, executive orders, regulations, instructions, and guidance, and (6) continually use system engineering techniques to reduce system sustainment cost and complexity.

3.0 SCOPE & AUTHORITY

The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC), is a Major Subordinate Command under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. CEHNC is the Army Program Management Office responsible for managing the execution of the Army Central Metering Program (AMP) and is available to support other Federal agencies in their compliance with the National Energy Conservation Policy Act using this same contract. Scope of services as may be purchased through the award of task orders under this contract may include the following:

(a) Furnishing a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software as a single MDMS Enterprise solution to be the Army’s standard for its meter data analyses; (b) provide operator training for use of the software; (c) provide administration, operation, and maintenance of the MDMS Program’s COTS solution, to include installation level interfaces of gateway devices, software upgrades as required for internet security; (d) provide system security engineering to support the secure configuration and sustainment of the MDMS, to include devices that must interface with the MDMS in accordance with Army and Department of Defense (DoD) requirements; (e) develop the appropriate Risk Management Framework (RMF) packages or the Army’s current accreditation process; (f) maintain the current accreditation package’s artifacts to include periodic reviews in accordance with the MDMS continuous monitoring requirements and no less than annually for accuracy and change management controls to support Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) reporting and continuous authorization under RMF; (g) develop Networthiness and/or Asses-Only packages for submission to Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) or through Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS) for review and approval; (h) operate a call center technical support for software and hardware trouble shooting issues; (i) and provide secure and complete solutions for enabling legacy system compatibility with the Army-wide MDMS. Task orders under this contract may include any node above the meter that assist in delivering dependable meter data. Installation and maintenance of meters or control systems are outside the scope of this contract as they pose a life-safety risk. This base contract vehicle is not in itself a deliverable as those will be addressed in individual task orders, rather this vehicles seeks to define the scope, authority, and range of functional and technical requirements that may be executed under this vehicle.
